The hazard warning flasher serves as
a warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching,
overtaking, or passing your vehicle.
It should be used whenever emergency
repairs are being made or when the
vehicle is stopped near the edge of a
roadway.
To turn the hazard warning flasher on
or off, press the hazard warning flasher
button with the START/STOP button in
any position. The button is located in the
center fascia panel. All turn signal lights
will flash simultaneously. • The hazard warning flasher operates
whether your vehicle is running or not.
• The turn signals do not work when the
hazard flasher is on.
If the vehicle stalls while driving
• Reduce your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.
• Turn on your hazard warning flasher.
• Try to start the vehicle again. If your
vehicle will not start, we recommend
that you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If the vehicle stalls at a crossroad
or crossing
If the vehicle stalls at a crossroads or
crossing, if safe to do so, move the shift
lever to the N (Neutral) position and then
push the vehicle to a safe location.

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 immediately 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, shift to
P (Park), apply the parking brake, and
place the 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.

• Be sure the gear is in P (Park). The
vehicle starts only when the gear is in
P (Park).
• Check the 12-volt battery connections
to be sure they are clean and tight.
• Turn on the interior light. If the light
dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the 12V battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it.
This could cause damage to your vehicle.

provided in this chapter.

Emergency situations
8-4
Jump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Follow the jump starting
procedure in this section to avoid serious
injury or damage to your vehicle. If in
doubt about how to properly jump start
your vehicle, we strongly recommend
that you have a service technician or
towing service do it for you.
WARNING
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH
to you or bystanders, always follow
these precautions when working near
or handling the battery:
Always read and follow
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Wear eye protection designed
to protect the eyes from acid splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away from
the battery.
Hydrogen is always present
in battery cells, is highly
combustible, and may explode
if ignited.
Keep batteries out of reach of
children.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which is highly corrosive. Do
not allow acid to contact your
eyes, skin or clothing.
If acid gets into your eyes, flush your
eyes with clean water for at least 15
minutes and get immediate medical
attention. If acid gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the area. If you feel
pain or a burning sensation, get medical
attention immediately. • When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the case may
cause battery acid to leak. Lift with a
battery carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
• Do not attempt to jump start your
vehicle if your battery is frozen.
• NEVER attempt to recharge the
battery when the vehicle’s battery
cables are connected to the battery.
• The electrical ignition system works
with high voltage. NEVER touch
these components with the (
)
indicator ON or when the START/
STOP button is in the ON position.
• Do not allow the (+) and (-) jumper
cables to touch. It may cause sparks.
• The battery may rupture or explode
when you jump start with a low or
frozen battery.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to your vehicle: • Only use a 12-volt power supply
(battery or jumper system) to jump
start your vehicle.
• Do not attempt to jump start your
vehicle by push-starting.

4. Connect the jumper cables in
the exact sequence shown in the
illustration. First connect one jumper
cable to the red, positive (+) jumper
terminal of your vehicle (1).
5. Connect the other end of the jumper cable to the red, positive (+) battery/
jumper terminal of the assisting
vehicle (2).
6. Connect the second jumper cable to the black, negative (-) battery/ chassis
ground of the assisting vehicle (3). 7.
Connect the other end of the second
jumper cable to the black, negative (-)
chassis ground of your vehicle (4).
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the correct
battery or jumper terminals or the
correct ground. Do not lean over the
battery when making connections.
8. Start the motor of the assisting vehicle and let it run at approximately 2,000
rpm for a few minutes. Then start your
vehicle.
If your vehicle will not start after a
few attempts, it probably requires
servicing. In this event please seek
qualified assistance. If the cause of your
battery discharging is not apparent, we
recommend that you have your vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer. Disconnect the jumper cables in the
exact reverse order you connected them:
1. Disconnect the jumper cable from the black, negative (-) chassis ground of
your vehicle (4).
2. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the black, negative
(-) battery/chassis ground of the
assisting vehicle (3).
3. Disconnect the second jumper cable from the red, positive (+) battery/
jumper terminal of the assisting

TIRE PRESSURE MoNIToRING SYSTEM (TPMS)

08
8 -7
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
electric energy 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 the system be checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. 1. The low tire pressure telltale/TPMS
malfunction indicator does not
illuminate for 3 seconds when the
START/STOP button is turned to the
ON position or the Vehicle is ON (
indicator ON).
2. The TPMS malfunction indicator
remains illuminated after blinking for
approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low tire pressure position
telltale remains illuminated.

Emergency situations
8-8
Low tire pressure telltale
OOSEV048111L
Low tire pressure
position telltale and
tire pressure telltale
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.
CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the low
tire pressure telltale may illuminate 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
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 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.

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.
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.
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 the flat tire be
repaired by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible or replace the
flat tire with the spare tire.
CAUTION
It is recommended that you do not use a
puncture-repairing agent not approved
by HYUNDAI dealer to repair and/or
inflate a low pressure tire. Tire sealant
not approved by HYUNDAI dealer may
damage the tire pressure sensor.
Once the original tire 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.
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.
If the indicators do not extinguish after
a few minutes, we recommend that you
visit 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 1.6 km (1 mile) 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.
