If any of these conditions occur, the 
system will turn off automatically.
When BCW canceled warning message 
is displayed in the cluster, check to make 
sure that the rear bumper is free from 
any dirt or snow in the areas where the 
sensor is located. Remove any dirt, snow, 
or foreign material that could interfere 
with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed, the 
system should operate normally after 
about 10 minutes of driving the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate 
normally have your vehicle inspected by 
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
 Information
Turn off BCW, BCA and RCCA system 
when a trailer or carrier is installed.
Deactivate BCW and BCA system 
by selecting “User Settings → Driver 
Assistance → Blind-Spot Safety → Off”
Deactivate RCCW and RCCA system 
by deselecting “User Settings → Driver 
Assistance → Parking Safety → Rear 
Cross-Traffic Safety”.

Check Blind-Spot Collision Warning 
(BCW) system
If there is a problem with BCW system, 
a warning message will appear. The 
system will turn off automatically. RCCW 
and RCCA will not operate also if BCW 
system turns off due to malfunction. 
Have the vehicle inspected by an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

•	When the vehicle is parked rearward
If the vehicle is parked rearward and 
the radar sensor detects the another 
vehicle in the rear area of the parking 
space, the system can warn or control 
braking. Always pay attention to the 
parking space while driving.

Low Tire Pressure Telltale
Low Tire Pressure LCD Display 
with Position Indicator
ODN8049019L
When the tire pressure monitoring 
system warning indicators are 
illuminated and the warning message 
is displayed on the cluster LCD 
display, one or more of your tires is 
significantly under-inflated. The LCD 
position indicator will indicate which 
tire is significantly under-inflated by 
illuminating the corresponding position 
light.
If any of your tire pressures are indicated 
as being low, 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. (if equipped)
The Low Tire Pressure LCD position 
indicator will remain on and the TPMS 
Malfunction Indicator may blink for one 
minute and then remain illuminated until 
you have the low pressure tire repaired 
and replaced on the vehicle.
NOTICE
The spare tire is not equipped with a 
tire pressure sensor.
 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.   

Emergency Situations
7-10
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 LCD position indicator 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. (if equipped)
 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.
The spare tire 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 LCD position indicator 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 20 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 LCD position indicator and 
TPMS Malfunction Indicator will go off 
within a few minutes of driving.
If the indicators do not disappear after a 
few minutes, please visit an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.    

07
7-11
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.
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 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.
 WARNING
•	The TPMS cannot alert you to severe 
and sudden tire damage caused by 
external factors such as nails or road 
debris.
•	 If you feel any vehicle instability, 
immediately take your foot off 
the accelerator, apply the brakes 
gradually with light force, and slowly 
move to a safe position off the road.
 WARNING
Tampering with, modifying, or disabling 
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System 
(TPMS) components may interfere 
with the system’s ability to warn the 
driver of low tire pressure conditions 
and/or TPMS malfunctions. Tampering 
with, modifying, or disabling the Tire 
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) 
components may void the warranty for 
that portion of the vehicle.

 WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with a 
rollover sensor, place the ignition 
switch in the LOCK/OFF or ACC position 
when the vehicle is being towed. 
The side impact and curtain air bag 
may deploy if the sensor detects the 
situation as a rollover.
When towing your vehicle in an 
emergency without wheel dollies:
1. 
Place the ignition s
 witch in the ACC 
position.
2.
 
Place the shift butt
 on in N (Neutral).
3.
 
R
 elease the parking brake.
 CAUTION
Failure to place the shift button in N 
(Neutral) when being towed with the 
front wheels on the ground can cause 
internal damage to the transmission.
Emergency Towing 
If towing is necessary, we recommend 
you have it done by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer or a commercial tow 
truck service.
