What to do in an emergency
If You Have a Flat Tire While
Driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-
ately or attempt to pull off the road
as this may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
When the vehicle has slowed to
such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully and pull off the
road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on firm, level
ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes.
When the vehicle is stopped, press
the hazard warning flasher button,
move the shift lever into P (Park),
and apply the parking brake, and
place the Engine Start/Stop button
in the OFF position.
Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
When changing a flat tire, follow
the instructions provided later in
this chapter.
Hybrid vehicle
Be sure the shift lever is in P
(Park). The vehicle starts only
when the shift lever is in P (Park).
This vehicle does not have a regu-
lar 12V battery that needs periodic
replacement. It is lithium ion poly-
mer type integrated into the HEV
high voltage battery. The vehicle
has a 12V battery protection sys-
tem that cuts 12V battery from
vehicle draw to prevent full dis-
charge. If vehicle will not start, first
try pressing the 12V Battery Reset
switch (left side of the steering
wheel near the fuel door open
switch) to reconnect the 12V bat-
tery, but you must start vehicle
within 15 seconds of pressing the
12V Battery Reset switch. After
starting vehicle, operate the vehi-
cle safely outdoors in ready mode
stopped and/or drive it for 30 min-
utes total to charge the 12V battery
fully.Push or pull starting the vehicle
may cause the catalytic converter
to overload which can lead to
damage to the emission control
system.
Check the fuel level and add fuel if
necessary.
If the vehicle still does not start, have
your vehicle checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.

What to do in an emergency
If your engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates overheating, you
experience a loss of power, or hear
loud pinging or knocking, the engine
may be overheating. If this happens,
you should:
1. Turn ON the hazard warning flash-
er, pull off the road and stop as
soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in P (Park)
and set the parking brake.
3. Make sure that there is no hot
steam gushing out of the engine
compartment. When it is safe to
do so, open the engine compart-
ment, and check the water-pump
connector. When the water-pump
connector is disconnected, stop
the engine, re-connect the water-
pump connector, and then re-start
the engine.
4. Set the temperature and the air
flow to the maximum, and turn ON
the air conditioner.5. When the Service warning light
( ) illuminates on the instru-
ment cluster, immediately stop the
engine, and contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. When the
engine warning light ( ) illumi-
nates, or when the coolant or hot
steams gush out of the engine
compartment, leave the engine
compartment opened, while run-
ning the engine. This is to ventilate
the engine compartment and to
cool down the engine.
6. Check the coolant temperature
gauge on the instrument cluster to
make sure the coolant temperature
is sufficiently cooled down. Check
the coolant level. When it is insuffi-
cient, check its connection with the
radiator, the heater hose, and the
water pump for any leakage. When
there is no leakage, add the
coolant. However, if the problems
persists, such as the illumination of
the warning lights, leakages, or the
cooling-fan malfunction, which may
overheat the engine, immediately
stop the engine, and have your
vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

You may not be able identify a tire
with low pressure by simply looking
at it. Always use a good quality tire
pressure gauge to measure the tire's
inflation pressure. Please note that a
tire that is hot (from being driven) will
have a higher pressure measure-
ment than a tire that is cold.
A cold tire means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven for
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3
hour period.
Allow the tire to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tire is cold before inflating to
the recommended pressure.Information
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following
three conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
2. This device must accept any inter-
ference received, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired
operation.
3. Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
i
The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tire dam-
age caused by external fac-
tors such as nails or road
debris.
If you feel any vehicle instabil-
ity, immediately take your foot
off the accelerator, apply the
brakes gradually with light
force, and slowly move to a
safe position off the road.
WARNING
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may interfere with
the system's ability to warn the
driver of low tire pressure con-
ditions and/or TPMS malfunc-
tions. Tampering with, modify-
ing, or disabling the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) components may void
the warranty for that portion of

vided with the vehicle.
ALWAYS place the jack on the
designated jacking positions
on the vehicle and NEVER on
the bumpers or any other part
of the vehicle for jacking sup-
port.

Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay
mobile even after experiencing a tire
puncture.
The compressor and sealing com-
pound system effectively and com-
fortably seals most punctures in a
passenger car tire caused by nails
or similar objects and reinflates the
tire.
After you ensure that the tire is prop-
erly sealed you can drive cautiously
on the tire (distance up to 120 miles
(200 km)) at a max. speed of (50
mph (80 km/h)) in order to reach a
service station or tire dealer for the
tire replacement.
It is possible that some tires, espe-
cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed
completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may
adversely affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
maneuvers, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in
use.The Tire Mobility Kit is not designed
or intended as a permanent tire
repair method and is to be used for
one tire only.
This instruction shows you step by
step how to temporarily seal the
puncture simply and reliably.
