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.
 The Lo
w Tire Pressure Position 
Telltale remains illuminated.

Low tire pressure 
warning light
Low tire pressure position and 
tire pressure telltale
OTM080028L
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 will indicate which 
tire is significantly underinflated 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 the 
spare tire.
The Low Tire Pressure Telltale will remain 
on and the TPMS Malfunction Indicator 
may blink for one minute and then 
remain illuminated (when the vehicle 
is driven approximately 10 minutes at 
speed above 15.5 mph (25 km/h)) until 
you have the low pressure tire repaired 
and replaced on the vehicle.
 CAUTION
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
8-12
TPMS 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.
We recommend that you have the 
system checked by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
NOTICE
If there is a malfunction with the 
TPMS, the individual tire pressures 
in the cluster LCD display will not be 
available. Have the system checked by 
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon 
as possible.
NOTICE
The TPMS Malfunction Indicator may 
illuminate after blinking for one minute 
if the vehicle is near electric power 
supply cables or radio transmitters 
such as police stations, government 
and public offices, broadcasting 
stations, military installations, airports, 
transmitting towers, etc.
Additionally, the TPMS Malfunction 
Indicator may illuminate if snow chains 
are used or electronic devices such as 
computers, chargers, remote starters, 
navigation, etc. This may interfere with 
normal operation of the TPMS.
Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire 
Pressure and Position telltales will come 
on. We recommend that you have the flat 
tire repaired by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer as soon as possible or replace the 
flat tire with the spare tire.
NOTICE
It is recommended that you do not 
use a puncture-repairing agent not 
approved by HYUNDAI dealer or the 
equivalent specified for your vehicle to 
repair and/or inflate a low pressure tire. 
Tire sealant not approved by HYUNDAI 
dealer or the equivalent specified for 
your vehicle  may damage the tire 
pressure sensor.
The spare tire (if equipped) does not 
come with a tire pressure monitoring 
sensor. When the low pressure tire or 
the flat tire is replaced with the spare 
tire, the Low Tire Pressure Telltale will 
remain on. Also, the TPMS Malfunction 
Indicator will illuminate after blinking 
for one minute if the vehicle is driven 
at speed above 15.5 mph (25 km/h) for 
approximately 10 minutes.
Once the original wheel equipped with 
a tire pressure monitoring sensor is 
reinflated to the recommended pressure 
and reinstalled on the vehicle, the 
Low Tire Pressure Telltale and TPMS 
Malfunction Indicator will go off within a 
few minutes of driving.    

08
8-13
If the indicators do not extinguish after a 
few minutes, please visit an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire 
pressure sensor mounted inside the tire 
behind the valve stem (except for the 
spare tire). You must use TPMS specific 
wheels. It is recommended that you 
always have your tires serviced by an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
You may not be able to identify a tire 
with low pressure by simply looking at it. 
Always use a good quality tire pressure 
gauge to measure. 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 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 measuring 
the inflation pressure. Always be sure 
the tire is cold before inflating to the 
recommended pressure.
 WARNING
•	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 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 conditions 
and/or TPMS malfunctions. Tampering 
with, modifying, or disabling the Tire 
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) 
components may void the warranty for 
that portion of the vehicle.

Emergency situations
8-18
 WARNING
Wheels may have sharp edges. Handle 
them carefully to avoid possible severe 
injury. Before putting the wheel into 
place, be sure that there is nothing on 
the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar, 
gravel, etc.) that interferes with the 
wheel from fitting solidly against the 
hub.
If there is, remove it. If there is not 
good contact on the mounting surface 
between the wheel and hub, the wheel 
nuts could come loose and cause the 
loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may 
result in loss of control of the vehicle. 
This may cause serious injury or death.
10. To reinstall the wheel, hold it on the 
studs, put the wheel nuts on the studs 
and tighten them finger tight. The 
nuts should be installed with their 
tapered small diameter ends directed 
inward. Jiggle the tire to be sure it is 
completely seated, then tighten the 
nuts as much as possible with your 
fingers again.
11. Lower the vehicle to the ground 
by turning the wheel lug wrench 
counterclockwise.
OTM080045L
12. Use the wheel lug wrench to tighten 
the wheel bolts in the order shown. 
Double-check each wheel bolts until 
they are tight. After changing tires, 
we recommend that an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer tighten the wheel 
bolts to their proper torque as soon 
as possible. The wheel bolt should 
be tightened to 79~94 lbf.ft (11~13 
kgf.m).
If you have a tire gauge, check the 
tire pressure (see “Tires and Wheels” 
section in chapter 2 for tire pressure 
instructions.). If the pressure is lower or 
higher than recommended, drive slowly 
to the nearest service station and adjust 
it to the recommended pressure. Always 
reinstall the valve cap after checking 
or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap 
is not replaced, air may leak from the 
tire. If you lose a valve cap, buy another 
and install it as soon as possible. After 
changing tires, secure the flat tire and 
return the jack and tools to their proper 
storage locations.   

08
8-19
NOTICE
Check the tire pressure as soon as 
possible after installing a spare tire. 
Adjust it to the recommended pressure.
 CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on the 
studs and wheel bolts. Make certain 
during tire changing that the same bolts 
that were removed are reinstalled. If 
you have to replace your wheel bolts 
make sure they have metric threads to 
avoid damaging the studs and ensure 
the wheel is properly secured to the 
hub. We recommend that you consult 
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for 
assistance.
 WARNING
Wheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they may lose 
their ability to retain the wheel. This 
could lead to the loss of the wheel and a 
collision resulting in serious injuries.
If any of the equipment such as the jack, 
wheel bolts, studs, or other equipment 
is damaged or in poor condition, do not 
attempt to change the tire and call for 
assistance.
Use of compact spare tires  
(if equipped)
Compact spare tires are designed for 
emergency use only. Drive carefully on 
the compact spare tire and always follow 
the safety precautions.
 WARNING
To prevent compact spare tire failure 
and loss of control possibly resulting in 
an accident:
•	Use the compact spare tire only in an 
emergency.
•	 NEVER operate your vehicle over 50 
mph (80 km/h).
•	 Do not exceed the vehicle’s 
maximum load rating or the load 
carrying capacity shown on the 
sidewall of the compact spare tire.
•	 Do not use the compact spare tire 
continuously. Repair or replace the 
original tire as soon as possible to 
avoid failure of the compact spare 
tire.
