NOTICE
•	 It is permissible to add 3 psi to the standard tire pressure specification if colder 
temperatures are expected soon.
Tires typically lose 1psi (7kPa) for every 12°F temperature drop. If extreme 
temperature variations are expected, recheck your tire pressure as necessary to 
keep them properly inflated.
•	 Tire inflation pressures will vary with changes in elevation. If driving in areas of 
higher or lower elevation, be sure to check and adjust for proper tire inflation.
 CAUTION
•	When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can damage the related parts or not work properly.
•	 When replacing tires, ALWAYS use the same size, type, construction and tread 
pattern supplied with the vehicle for all tires.

Driving through water
•	Try to avoid driving in deep standing 
water. It may stall your engine and 
clog your exhaust pipes.
•	 Do not change gear while driving in 
water.
 CAUTION
Always drive slowly in water. If you 
drive too fast, water may get into the 
engine compartment and wet the 
ignition system causing your vehicle to 
suddenly stop.
Additional driving conditions
•	Become familiar with the off-road 
conditions before driving.
•	 Always pay attention when driving off-
road and avoid dangerous areas.
•	 Drive slowly when driving in heavy 
wind.
•	 Reduce vehicle speed when 
cornering. The center of gravity 
of 4WD vehicles is higher than 
conventional 2WD vehicles, making 
them more likely to roll over when you 
rapidly turn corners.
•	 Always hold the steering wheel firmly 
when you are driving off-road.
 WARNING
Do hold the steering wheel tightly 
when you are driving off-road. You may 
hurt your arm by a sudden steering 
maneuver or from steering wheel 
rebound due to an impact with objects 
on the ground. You could lose control 
of the steering wheel which may lead to 
serious injury or death.
Emergency precautions
Tires
When replacing tires, be sure to equip 
all four tires with the same size, type, 
tread patterns, brand and load-carrying 
capacity.
 WARNING
Do not use tire and wheel with different 
size and type from the one originally 
installed on your vehicle. It can affect 
the safety and performance of your 
vehicle, which could lead to steering 
failure or rollover causing serious injury.
In an emergency situation, a compact 
spare tire (if equipped) or Tire Mobility 
Kit (if equipped) may be used. But, 
do not use the compact spare tire 
continuously. Repair or replace the 
original tire as soon as possible to avoid 
failure of the differential or 4WD system.
 WARNING
Never start or run the engine while 
an 4WD vehicle is raised on a jack. 
The vehicle can slip or roll off of a jack 
causing serious injury or death to you or 
those nearby.

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.
