6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to normal.
Then, if coolant has been lost,
carefully add coolant to the reservoir
to bring the fluid level in the reservoir
up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert
for further signs of overheating. If
overheating happens again, call
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
CAUTION
Serious loss of coolant indicates
a leak in the cooling system and
have the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
When the engine overheats from
low engine coolant, suddenly adding
engine coolant may cause cracks
in the engine. To prevent damage,
add engine coolant slowly in small
quantities. It may require several
refilling cycles to properly fill the
engine cooling system. If necessary,
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
should be consulted to perform this
task.

Emergency situations
8-10
Low tire pressure telltale
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicator is illuminated
and warning message displayed on the
cluster LCD display, one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated.
If the 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.
Then the Low Tire Pressure telltale may
flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated
after restarting and about 10 minutes of
continuous driving before 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.
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.
Have the system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible to determine the cause of the
problem.
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).

Low tire pressure
warning light
Low tire pressure position and
tire pressure telltale
OOS047115L
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.

Notes on the safe use of the Tire
Mobility Kit
Park your car at the side of the road
so that you can work with the Tire
Mobility Kit away from moving traffic.
To be sure your vehicle will not move,
even when you’re on fairly level
ground, always set your parking brake.
Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for
sealing/inflation passenger car tires.
Only punctured areas located within
the tread region of the tire can be
sealed using the tire mobility kit.
Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles
or any other type of tires.
When the tire and wheel are
damaged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit
for your safety.
Use of the Tire Mobility Kit may not be
effective for tire damage larger than
approximately 16 inch (4 mm).
Please contact the nearest HYUNDAI
dealer if the tire cannot be made
roadworthy with the Tire Mobility Kit.
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if a tire
is severely damaged by driving run flat
or with insufficient air pressure.
Do not remove any foreign objects
such as nails or screws that have
penetrated the tire.
Provided the car is outdoors, leave the
engine running. Otherwise operating
the compressor may eventually drain
the car battery.
Never leave the Tire Mobility Kit
unattended while it is being used.
Do not leave the compressor running
for more than 10 minutes at a time or
it may overheat.
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if the
ambient temperature is below -22°F
(30°C).
In case of skin contact with the
sealant, wash the area thoroughly
with plenty of water. If the irritation
persists, seek medical attention.
In case of eye contact with the
sealant, flush your eyes for at least 15
minutes. If the irritation persists, seek
medical attention.
In case of swallowing the sealant,
rinse the mouth and drink plenty of
water. However, never give anything
to an unconscious person and seek
medical attention immediately.

Maintenance
9-20
Recommended coolant
When adding coolant, use only
deionized water, distilled water or soft
water for your vehicle and never mix
hard water in the coolant filled at the
factory.
An incorrect coolant mixture can
result in severe malfunction or engine
damage.
The engine in your vehicle has
aluminum engine parts and must be
protected by an phosphate-based
ethylene glycol coolant to prevent
corrosion and freezing.
Do not use alcohol or methanol
coolant or mix them with the specified
coolant.
Do not use a solution that contains
more than 60% antifreeze or less than
35% antifreeze, which would reduce
the effectiveness of the solution.
For mixing percentage, refer to the
following table:
Ambient
Temperature
Mixture Percentage
(volume)
Antifreeze Water
5°F (-15°C) 35 65
-13°F (-25°C) 40 60
-31°F (-35°C) 50 50
-49°F (-45°C) 60 40
Information
Changing coolant
We recommend that coolant be changed
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
according to the Maintenance Schedule
at the beginning of this chapter.
WARNING
Do not use engine coolant or antifreeze
in the washer fluid reservoir.
Engine coolant can severely obscure
visibility when sprayed on the
windshield and may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an accident.
Engine coolant may also cause damage
to paint and body trim.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to engine parts, put
a thick towel around the engine coolant
cap and/or inverter coolant cap before
refilling the coolant to prevent the
coolant from overflowing into engine
parts, such as the alternator.
