WARNING
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
is a supplemental function. The
operation of Reverse Parking
Distance Warning can be affected
by several factors (including
environmental conditions). It is the
responsibility of the driver to always
check the rear view before and while
parking.
Your new vehicle warranty does not
cover any accidents or damage to
the vehicle due to driver error.
Pay close attention when driving
near objects, pedestrians, and
especially children. Some objects
may not be detected by the
ultrasonic sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effectiveness of
the sensor.
Limitations of Reverse Parking
Distance Warning
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
may not operate normally when:
- Moisture is frozen to the sensor
- Sensor is covered with foreign
material, such as snow or water
(Reverse Parking Distance Warning
will operate normally when such
foreign material are removed.)
- The weather is extremely hot or cold
- The sensor or sensor assembly is
disassembled
- The surface of the sensor has been
subjected to a hard impact
- The surface of the sensor has been
scratched with a sharp object
- The sensors or its surrounding
area is directly sprayed with high
pressure washer
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
may malfunction when:
- Heavy rain or water spray is present
- Water flows on the surface of the
sensor
-
sensors
- The sensor is covered with snow
- Driving on uneven road, gravel
roads or bushes
- Objects that generates ultrasonic
waves are near the sensor
- Installing the license plate
differently from the original location
- The vehicle bumper height or
ultrasonic sensor installation has
been modified
- Attaching equipments or
accessories around the ultrasonic
sensors
The following objects may not be
detected:
- Sharp or slim objects, such as ropes,
chains or small poles.
- Objects, which tend to absorb
sensor frequency, such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
- Objects smaller than 40 in. (100 cm)
in length and narrower than 6 in. (14
cm) in diameter.
- Pedestrians, animals or objects
that are very close to the ultrasonic
sensors
Parking Distance Warning Indicators
may be displayed differently from
the actual detected location when
the obstacle is located between the
sensors.
Parking Distance Warning indicator
may not occur sequentially depending
on vehicle speed or obstacle shape.
If Reverse Parking Distance Warning
needs repair, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure will come on. Have the flat tire
repaired by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible or replace the
flat tire with the spare tire.
CAUTION
Never use a puncture-repairing agent
not approved by HYUNDAI to repair
and/or inflate a low pressure tire. The
tire sealant not approved by HYUNDAI
may damage the tire pressure sensor.
The sealant on the tire pressure sensor
and wheel shall be eliminated when you
replace the tire with a new one.
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 always have your
tires serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Even if you replace the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the Low Tire Pressure
Telltale will blink or remain on until the
low pressure tire is repaired and placed
on the vehicle.
After you replace the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the Low Tire Pressure
Telltale may blink or illuminate after
driving about 20 minutes because the
TPMS sensor mounted on the spare
wheel is not initiated.
Once the low pressure tire is reinflated to
the recommended pressure and installed
on the vehicle or the TPMS sensor
mounted on the replaced spare wheel
is initiated by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer, the TPMS malfunction indicator
and the low tire pressure telltale will
extinguish within a few minutes of
driving.
If the indicator is not extinguished after
a few minutes of driving, please visit an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
If original mounted tire is replaced
with the spare tire, the TPMS sensor
on the replaced spare wheel should
be initiated and the TPMS sensor on
the original mounted wheel should
be deactivated by a HYUNDAI dealer.
If the TPMS sensor on the original
mounted wheel located in the spare tire
carrier still activates, the tire pressure
monitoring system may not operate
properly. Have the tire with TPMS
serviced or replaced by an authorized
hyundai dealer.
You may not be able to identify a low tire
by simply looking at it. Always use a good
quality tire pressure gauge to measure
the tire's inflation pressure. 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.
CAUTION
Do not use any tire sealant except the
Tire Mobility Kit approved by HYUNDAI
if your vehicle is equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System. The liquid
sealant can damage the tire pressure
sensors.

Emergency situations

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.
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. 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.
