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.
NOTICE
If any of the below happens, we 
recommend that you have the system 
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer.
1.
 The Lo
w Tire Pressure Telltale/ TPMS 
Malfunction Indicator does not 
illuminate for 3 seconds when the 
Engine Start/Stop button is pressed 
to the ON position or when the 
engine is running.
2.
 The TPMS Malfunction Indica
tor 
remains illuminated after blinking for 
approximately 1 minute.
3.

Telltale remains illuminated.    

Emergency situations
8-20
When driving with the compact spare tire 
mounted to your vehicle:
•	Check the tire pressure after installing 
the compact spare tire. The compact 
spare tire should be inflated to 420 
kPa (60 psi).
•	 Do not take this vehicle through 
an automatic car wash while the 
compact spare tire is installed.
•	 Do not use the compact spare tire on 
any other vehicle because this tire 
has been designed especially for your 
vehicle.
•	 The compact spare tire’s tread life is 
shorter than a regular tire. Inspect 
your compact spare tire regularly and 
replace worn compact spare tires with 
the same size and design, mounted on 
the same wheel.
•	 Do not use more than one compact 
spare tire at a time.
•	 Do not tow a trailer while the compact 
spare tire is installed. Information
When the original tire and wheel are 
repaired and reinstalled on the vehicle, the 
wheel bolt torque must be set correctly. 
The correct wheel bolt tightening torque is 
79~94 lbf.ft (11~13 kgf.m).
NOTICE
To prevent damaging the compact 
spare tire and your vehicle:
•	Drive slowly enough for the road 
conditions to avoid all hazards, such 
as a potholes or debris.
•	 Avoid driving over obstacles. The 
compact spare tire diameter is 
smaller than the diameter of a 
conventional tire and reduces the 
ground clearance approximately 25 
mm (1 inch).
•	 Do not use tire chains on the 
compact spare tire. Because of the 
smaller size, a tire chain will not fit 
properly.
•	 Do not use the compact spare tire 
on any other wheels, nor should 
standard tires, snow tires, wheel 
covers or trim rings be used with the 
compact spare wheel.

 WARNING
Tire failure may cause loss of vehicle 
control resulting in an accident. To 
reduce risk of SERIOUS INJURY or 
DEATH, take the following precautions:
•	Inspect your tires monthly for proper 
inflation as well as wear and damage.
•	 The recommended cold tire pressure 
for your vehicle can be found in this 
manual and on the tire label located 
on the driver’s side center pillar. 
Always use a tire pressure gauge to 
measure tire pressure. Tires with 
too much or too little pressure wear 
unevenly causing poor handling.
•	 Check the pressure of the spare 
every time you check the pressure of 
the other tires on your vehicle.
•	 Replace tires that are worn, show 
uneven wear, or are damaged. 
Worn tires can cause loss of braking 
effectiveness, steering control, or 
traction.
•	 ALWAYS replace tires with the 
same size, type, construction and 
tread pattern as each tire that was 
originally supplied with this vehicle. 
Using tires and wheels other than 
the recommended sizes could cause 
unusual handling characteristics, 
poor vehicle control, or negatively 
affect your vehicle’s Anti-Lock Brake 
System (ABS) resulting in a serious 
accident.
Tire care
For proper maintenance, safety, and 
maximum fuel economy, you must 
always maintain recommended tire 
inflation pressures and stay within the 
load limits and weight distribution 
recommended for your vehicle.
OTM078063L
All specifications (sizes and pressures) 
can be found on a label attached to the 
driver’s side center pillar.
Recommended cold tire inflation 
pressures
All tire pressures (including the spare) 
should be checked when the tires are 
cold. “Cold tires” means the vehicle has 
not been driven for at least three hours 
or driven less than 1 mile (1.6km).
Warm tires normally exceed 
recommended cold tire pressures by 4 
to 6 psi (28 to 41 kPa). Do not release air 
from warm tires to adjust the pressure 
or the tires will be under-inflated. For 
recommended inflation pressure, refer to 
“Tire and Wheels” section in chapter 2.
TIRES AND WHEELS    

09
9-35
Wheel alignment and tire 
balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned 
and balanced carefully at the factory to 
give you the longest tire life and best 
overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to have 
your wheels aligned again. However, 
if you notice unusual tire wear or your 
vehicle pulling one way or the other, the 
alignment may need to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating when 
driving on a smooth road, your wheels 
may need to be rebalanced.
NOTICE
Incorrect wheel weights can damage 
your vehicle’s aluminum wheels. Use 
only approved wheel weights.
Tire replacement
Tread wear indicatorTread wear indicator
OHI078080
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear 
indicator will appear as a solid band 
across the tread. This shows there is less 
than 1/16 inch (1.6mm) of tread left on the 
tire. Replace the tire when this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear across 
the entire tread before replacing the tire.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of DEATH or SERIOUS 
INJURY:
•	Replace tires that are worn, show 
uneven wear, or are damaged. 
Worn tires can cause loss of braking 
effectiveness, steering control, and 
traction.
•	 Always replace tires with the same 
size as each tire that was originally 
supplied with this vehicle. Using 
tires and wheels other than the 
recommended sizes could cause 
unusual handling characteristics, 
poor vehicle control, or negatively 
affect your vehicle’s Anti-Lock Brake 
System (ABS) resulting in a serious 
accident.
•	 When replacing tires (or wheels), it 
is recommended to replace the two 
front or two rear tires (or wheels) 
as a pair. Replacing just one tire 
can seriously affect your vehicle’s 
handling.
•	 Tires degrade over time, even when 
they are not being used. Regardless 
of the remaining tread, HYUNDAI 
recommends that tires be replaced 
after six (6) years of normal service.
•	 Heat caused by hot climates or 
frequent high loading conditions can 
accelerate the aging process. Failure 
to follow this warning may cause 
sudden tire failure, which could lead 
to a loss of vehicle control resulting 
in an accident.   

Maintenance
9-36
Compact spare tire replacement  
(if equipped)
A compact spare tire has a shorter 
tread life than a regular size tire. 
Replace it when you can see the tread 
wear indicator bars on the tire. The 
replacement compact spare tire should 
be the same size and design tire as the 
one provided with your new vehicle 
and should be mounted on the same 
compact spare tire wheel. The compact 
spare tire is not designed to be mounted 
on a regular size wheel, and the compact 
spare tire wheel is not designed for 
mounting a regular size tire.
 WARNING
The original tire should be repaired or 
replaced as soon as possible to avoid 
failure of the spare and loss of vehicle 
control resulting in an accident. The 
compact spare tire is for emergency 
use only. Do not operate your vehicle 
over 50 mph (80 km/h) when using the 
compact spare tire.
Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for any 
reason, make sure the new wheels are 
equivalent to the original factory units in 
diameter, rim width and offset.
Tire traction
Tire traction can be reduced if you drive 
on worn tires, tires that are improperly 
inflated or on slippery road surfaces. 
Tires should be replaced when tread 
wear indicators appear. To reduce the 
possibility of losing control, slow down 
whenever there is rain, snow or ice on 
the road.
Tire maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct 
wheel alignment helps to decrease tire 
wear. If you find a tire is worn unevenly, 
have your dealer check the wheel 
alignment.
When you have new tires installed, 
make sure they are balanced. This will 
increase vehicle ride comfort and tire 
life. Additionally, a tire should always 
be rebalanced if it is removed from the 
wheel.

V 149 mph (240 km/h)
W 168 mph (270 km/h) Y 186 mph (300 km/h)
3. Checking tire lif e (TIN : Tire 
Identification Number)
Any tires that are over six years old, 
based on the manufacturing date, 
(including the spare tire) should be 
replaced by new ones. You can find the 
manufacturing date on the tire sidewall 
(possibly on the inside of the wheel), 
displaying the DOT Code. The DOT Code 
is a series of numbers on a tire consisting 
of numbers and English letters. The 
manufacturing date is designated by the 
last four digits (characters) of the DOT 
code.
DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOO
The front part of the DOT shows a plant 
code number, tire size and tread pattern 
and the last four numbers indicate week 
and year manufactured.
For example:
DOT XXXX XXXX 1520 represents that 
the tire was produced in the 15th week 
of 2020.
4. Tire ply composition and material
The number of layers or plies of 
rubber-coated fabric in the tire. Tire 
manufacturers also must indicate the 
materials in the tire, which include steel, 
nylon, polyester, and others. The letter 
“R” means radial ply construction; the 
letter “D“ means diagonal or bias ply 
construction; and the letter “B” means 
belted-bias ply construction.
5. Maximum permissible inflation 
pr essure
This number is the greatest amount 
of air pressure that should be put in 
the tire. Do not exceed the maximum 
permissible inflation pressure. Refer to 
the Tire and Loading Information label 
for recommended inflation pressure.
6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum 
load in kilograms and pounds that can be 
carried by the tire. When replacing the 
tires on the vehicle, always use a tire that 
has the same load rating as the factory 
installed tire.
