NOTICE
• It is permissible to add 20 kPa (3 psi) to the standard tire pressure specification if
colder temperatures are expected soon. Tires typically lose 7 kPa (1 psi) for every
7°C (12°F) temperature drop. If extreme temperature variations are expected,
recheck your tire pressure as necessary to keep them properly inflated.
• An air pressure generally decreases, as you drive up to a high-altitude area above
sea level. Thus, if you plan to drive a high-altitude area, check the tire pressures
in advance. If necessary, inflate them to a proper level (Air inflation per altitude:
+10 kPa/1 km (+2.4 psi/1 mile).
• Spare wheel are intended for emergency purpose.
• Only Steel wheel is provided as spare wheel. Spare tires can be from any
manuafacturer.
CAUTION
When replacing tires, always use tires of the same type, size, brand, construction
and tread pattern.
Using tires of a different size can damage the related parts or make it work
irregularly.

The air bag modules are located both in
the center of the steering wheel and in
the front passenger’s panel above the
glove box. When the SRSCM detects a
sufficiently severe impact to the front of
the vehicle, it will automatically deploy
the front air bags.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will separate
under pressure from the expansion of

„„Driver's front air bag (3)Driver's front air bag (3)
A fully inflated air bag, in combination
with a properly worn seat belt, slows the
driver’s or the passenger’s forward
motion, reducing the risk of head and
chest injury.
After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibility
and the ability to steer or operate other
controls.

Emergency situations
Tire pressure monitoring system
WARNING
Over-inflation or under-inflation can
reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle
handling, and lead to sudden tire
failure that may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label,
you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling
and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator
to indicate when the system is
not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists. When
the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for
a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing
one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.
i Information
If the TPMS indicator does not illuminate
for 3 seconds when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position or engine
is running, or if it comes on after
blinking for approximately one minute,
we recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Low tire pressure position
telltale and tire pressure telltale
OSU2I049054OSU2I049054
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are
illuminated and a warning message
displayed on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. The low tire pressure
position telltale light will indicate which
tire is significantly under-inflated by
illuminating the corresponding position
light.
If either telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cornering
and anticipate increased stopping
distances. You should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible. Inflate
the tires to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle’s placard or tire
inflation pressure label located on the
driver’s side center pillar outer panel.
If you cannot reach a service station or
if the tire cannot hold the newly added
air, replace the low pressure tire with a
spare tire.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 25 km/h after
replacing the low pressure tire with the
spare tire, the following will happen:
• The TPMS malfunction indicator may
blink for approximately 1 minute and
then remain continuously illuminated
because the TPMS sensor is not
mounted on the spare wheel.
NOTICE
In winter or cold weather, the low tire
pressure telltale may be illuminated if
the tire pressure was adjusted to the
recommended tire inflation pressure
in warm weather. It does not mean
your TPMS is malfunctioning because
the decreased temperature leads to a
proportional lowering of tire pressure.
When you drive your vehicle from a
warm area to a cold area or from a cold
area to a warm area, or the outside
temperature is greatly higher or lower,
you should check the tire inflation
pressure and adjust the tires to the
recommended tire inflation pressure.
WARNING
Low pressure damage
Significantly low tire pressure makes
the vehicle unstable and can contribute
to loss of vehicle control and increased
braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure tires
can cause the tires to overheat and fail.

Emergency situations
TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator
will illuminate after it blinks for
approximately one minute when there
is a problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. If the system is able
to correctly detect an under inflation
warning at the same time as system
failure then it will illuminate the TPMS
malfunction indicator.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
NOTICE
If there is a malfunction with the TPMS,
the low tire pressure position telltale
will not be displayed even though the
vehicle has an under-inflated tire.
CAUTION
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if the vehicle is
moving around electric power supply
cables or radios transmitter such as
at police stations, government and
public offices, broadcasting stations,
military installations, airports, or
transmitting towers, etc. This can
interfere with normal operation of
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).
• The TPMS malfunction indicator may
illuminate if snow chains or some
separately purchased devices such
as notebook computers, mobile
charger, remote starter, navigation
etc. are used in the vehicle. This can
interfere with normal operation of
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).
Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure will come on. We recommend
that the flat tire be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
We recommend that you use a
puncture-repairing agent approved by
HYUNDAI.
The sealant on the tire pressure sensor
and wheel shall be eleminated when
you replace the tire with a new one.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside
the tire behind the valve stem. You
must use TPMS specific wheels. It is
recommended that you have your tires
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Even if you replace the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the Low Tire Pressure
Telltale will blink or remain on until the
low pressure tire is repaired and placed
on the vehicle.
After you replace the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the Low Tire Pressure
Telltale may blink or illuminate after a
few minutes because the TPMS sensor
mounted on the spare wheel is not
initiated.
Once the low pressure tire is re-inflated
to the recommended pressure and
installed on the vehicle or the new TPMS
sensor mounted on the wheel, the TPMS
malfunction indicator and the low tire
pressure and position telltales will turn
off within a few minutes of driving.
If the indicator does not turn off after a
few minutes of driving, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

NOTICE
If original mounted tire is replaced
with the spare tire, the TPMS sensor
on the replaced spare wheel should be
initiated and we recommend that the
TPMS sensor on the original mounted
wheel be deactivated by a HYUNDAI
dealer. If the TPMS sensor on the
original mounted wheel located in the
spare tire carrier still activates, the
tire pressure monitoring system may
not operate properly. We recommend
that the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
You may not be able to identify a low
tire 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
measurement than a tire that is cold.
A cold tire means the vehicle is in parked
position for at least 3 hours or driven
less than 1.6 km (1 mile) in that period.
Allow the tire to cool before measuring
the inflation pressure. Always be sure
the tire is cold before inflating to the
recommended pressure.
NOTICE
We recommend that you use the tire
sealant approved by HYUNDAI if your
vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. The liquid sealant
can damage the tire pressure sensors.
WARNING
TPMS
• The TPMS cannot alert you to severe
and sudden tire damage caused by
external factors such as nails or road
debris.
• If you feel any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off
the accelerator, apply the brakes
gradually and with light force, and
slowly move to a safe position off the
road.
WARNING
Protecting TPMS
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 conditions and/
or TPMS malfunctions. Tamper-ing
with, modifying, or disabling the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may void the war-ranty for
that portion of the vehicle.
