Jump Starting
In the event vehicle still does not have a
functional 12V battery (check if interior
lights will not turn on) then you can try
a jump start to the engine compartment
jumper terminals using a 12V booster
pack or jumper cables from another
vehicle’s 12V battery according to the
following instructions.
CAUTION
Jump starting can be dangerous if
done incorrectly. Follow the jump
starting procedure in this section to
avoid serious injury or damage to
your vehicle. If in doubt about how to
properly jump start your vehicle, we
strongly recommend that you have a
service technician or towing service do
it for you.
1. Position the vehicles close enough that the jumper cables will reach, but
do not allow the vehicles to touch.
Avoid fans or any moving parts in the
engine compartment at all times, even
when the vehicles are turned off.
2. Turn off all electrical devices such as radios, lights, air conditioning, etc.
Put the vehicles in P (Park) and set the
parking brake. Turn both vehicles OFF.

NOTICE
If any of the below happens, have
the system checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
1. The Low Tire Pressure Telltale/ TPMS Malfunction Indicator does not
illuminate for 3 seconds when the
ignition switch is placed to the ON
position or engine is running.
2. The TPMS Malfunction Indicator remains illuminated after blinking for

3. The Low Tire Pressure Position Telltale remains illuminated.
Low Tire Pressure Telltale
Low Tire Pressure Position and
Tire Pressure Telltale
OCN7080057L
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.

Emergency Situations8-14
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.
Information

conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference.
2. This device must accept any
interference received, including

CAUTION

[It is not easy to recognize tire
damage with your own eyes. But
if there is the slightest hint of tire
damage, have the tire checked
or replaced because the tire
damage may cause air leakage
from the tire.

[ If the tire is damaged by driving
on a rough road, off road,
pothole, manhole, or curb stone,
it will not be covered by the
warranty.
Low Aspect Ratio Tires
The aspect ratio is lower than 50 on
low aspect ratio tires.
Because low aspect ratio tires are
optimized for handling and braking,
their sidewall is a little stiffer than
a standard tire. Also low aspect
ratio tires tend to be wider and
consequently have a greater contact
patch with the road surface. In some
instances they may generate more
road noise compared with standard
tires.
CAUTION
Because the sidewall of a low
aspect ratio tire is shorter than
a standard tire, the rim of the
wheel and the tire itself is more
easily susceptible to damage. Use
caution when driving and follow the
guidelines below to help minimize
damage to the wheel and tire:

[When driving on a rough road
or off road, drive cautiously
because tires and wheels may
be damaged. And after driving,
inspect tires and wheels.

[ When passing over a pothole,
speed bump, manhole, or curb
stone, drive slowly so that
the tires and wheels are not
damaged.

[ If the tire is subjected to a severe
impact, have the tire and wheel
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

[ Inspect the tire condition and
pressure every 1,800 miles
(3,000km).

Normal Blown
Normal Blown
OTM078035
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by
fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bolster,
the other in the engine compartment
near the battery.
If any of your vehicle’s lights,
accessories, or controls do not work,
check the appropriate circuit fuse. If a
fuse has blown, the element inside the
fuse will be melted or broken.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
Before replacing a blown fuse, turn the
engine and all switches off, and then
disconnect the battery connector. Always
replace a blown fuse with one of the
same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem.
Avoid using the system involved and
immediately consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
NEVER replace a fuse with anything but
another fuse of the same rating.

[A higher capacity fuse could cause
damage and possibly cause a fire.

[ Do not install a wire or aluminum
foil instead of the proper fuse -
even as a temporary repair. It may
cause extensive wiring damage and
possibly a fire.
NOTICE
Do not use a screwdriver or any other
metal object to remove fuses because
it may cause a short circuit and damage
the system.
