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 you have the
system checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
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 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 25 km/h (15.5 mph) for
approximately 10 minutes.
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.
If the indicators do not extinguish after
a few minutes, we recommend that you
contact 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.

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 80
km/h (50 mph).
[ 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.
[ Do not suddenly accelerate or
decelerate 0 l 40 km/h (0 l 25
mph) in any driving mode. It may
cause leakage of transfer oil.
When driving with the compact spare tire
mounted to your vehicle: [ Check the tire pressure after installing
the compact spare tire. The compact
spare tire should be inflated to 420
kPa (60 psi).
[ Do not take this vehicle through
an automatic car wash while the
compact spare tire is installed.
[ Do not use the compact spare tire on
any other vehicle because this tire
has been designed especially for your
vehicle.
[ The compact spare tire’s tread life is
shorter than a regular tire. Inspect
your compact spare tire regularly and
replace worn compact spare tires with
the same size and design, mounted on the same wheel.
[ Do not use more than one compact
spare tire at a time.
[ Do not tow a trailer while the compact
spare tire is installed. Information
When the original tire and wheel are
repaired and reinstalled on the vehicle, the
lug nut torque must be set correctly. The
correct lug nut tightening torque is 11~13 kgf.m (79~94 lbf.ft).
NOTICE
To prevent damaging the compact
spare tire and your vehicle: [ Drive slowly enough for the road
conditions to avoid all hazards, such
as a potholes or debris.
[ Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately 25
mm (1 inch).
[ Do not use tire chains on the
compact spare tire. Because of the
smaller size, a tire chain will not fit
properly.
[ Do not use the compact spare tire
on any other wheels, nor should
standard tires, snow tires, wheel
covers or trim rings be used with the
compact spare wheel.
[ Do not suddenly accelerate or
decelerate 0 l 40 km/h (0 l 25
mph) in any driving mode. It may
cause leakage of transfer oil.
