5. Plug the compressor power cord (4)
into the vehicle power outlet.
6. With the vehicle ON
( indicator ON), switch on
the compressor and let it run for
approximately 5~7 minutes to fill
the sealant up to proper pressure.
(Refer to “Tire and Wheels” section
in chapter2). The inflation pressure of
the tire after filling is unimportant and
will be checked/corrected later.
Be careful not to overinflate the tire
and stay away from the tire when
filling it.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to drive your vehicle if
the tire pressure is below 29 psi (200
kPa). This could result in an accident
due to sudden tire failure.
7. Switch off the compressor.
8. Detach the hoses from the sealant
bottle connector and from the tire
valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its storage
location in the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not leave your vehicle running in
a poorly ventilated area for extended
periods of time. Carbon monoxide
poisoning and suffocation can occur.
OOSH079022L
Distributing the sealant
9. Immediately drive approximately 4~6
miles (7~10 km) or about 10 minutes)
to evenly distribute the sealant in the
tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80
km/h). If possible, do not fall below a
speed of 20 mph (12 km/h).
While driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive with
caution until you can safely pull off of the
side of the road.
Call for road side service or towing.

Checking the Tire Inflation
Pressure
ODN8H070009N
1. After driving approximately 4~6 miles
(7~10 km or about 10 min), stop at a
safety location.
2. Connect the filling hose (10) of the
compressor directly to the tire valve.
3. Connect between compressor and the
vehicle power outlet using the cable
and connectors.
4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the
recommended tire inflation.
With the vehicle in the ready (
)
mode, proceed as follows.
- To increase the inflation pressure:
Switch on the compressor.
To check the current inflation
pressure setting, briefly switch off
the compressor.
- To reduce the inflation pressure:
Press the button (9) on the
compressor.
NOTICE
Do not let the compressor run for more
than 10 minutes, otherwise the device
will overheat and may be damaged.
Information
The pressure gauge may show higher than
actual reading when the compressor is
running. To get an accurate tire pressure,
the compressor needs to be turned off.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not
maintained, drive the vehicle a second
time, refer to Distributing the sealant.
Then repeat steps 1 to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffectual for
tire damage larger than approximately
4 mm (0.16 in).
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
if the tire cannot be made roadworthy
with the Tire Mobility Kit.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must be at
least 220 kPa (32 psi). If it is not, do not
continue driving.
Call for road side service or towing.
CAUTION
Tire pressure sensor
The sealant on the tire pressure sensor
and wheel should be removed when
you replace the tire with a new one and
inspect the tire pressure sensors at an
authorized dealer.
Information
When reinstalling the repaired or replaced
tire and wheel on the vehicle, tighten
the wheel lug nut to 79~94 lbf·ft (11~13
kgf·m).

Towing Service
ODN8H079010L[A] : Dollies
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or
flatbed is recommended.
It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with
the rear wheels on the ground (without
dollies) and the front wheels off the
ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged or the vehicle
is being towed with the front wheels on
the ground, use a towing dolly under the
front wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used,
the front of the vehicle should always be
lifted, not the rear.
CAUTION
ODN8H079012
• Do not tow the vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle.
ODN8H079011
• Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.
When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies:
1. Release EPB before turning off the
engine.
2. Press the Engine Start/Stop button to
the OFF position.
3. Shift the gear to N (Neutral).
For more details, refer to “Automatic
Transmission” section in chapter 6.
CAUTION
Failure to shift the gear to N (Neutral)
may cause internal damage to the
transmission.

Emergency Towing
Front
ODN8H070016N
Rear
ODN8079017
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you have it done by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer or a commercial tow
truck service.
If a towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing hook
at the front (or rear) of the vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing the
vehicle with a cable or chain. A driver
must be in the vehicle to steer it and
operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a short
distance and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
CAUTION
The driver must be in the vehicle for
steering and braking operations when
the vehicle is being towed. Passengers
other than the driver must not be in the
vehicle.
Always follow these emergency towing
precautions:
• Shift the gear to N (Neutral).
• Release the parking brake.
• Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal as you will have
reduced braking performance.
• More steering effort will be required
because the power steering system
will be disabled.
• Use a vehicle heavier than your own to
tow your vehicle.
• The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other
frequently.
• Before emergency towing, check that
the hook is not broken or damaged.
• Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
• Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady
and even force.
