Low tyre pressure
warning light
Low tyre pressure position and
tyre pressure telltale
ONX4E040019
When the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are
illuminated and a warning message
displayed on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tyres is significantly
under-inflated. The Low Tyre Pressure
Position Telltale will indicate which
tyre is significantly underinflated by
illuminating the corresponding position
light.
If either telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cornering
and anticipate increased stopping
distances. You should stop and check
your tyres as soon as possible. Inflate the
tyres to the proper pressure as indicated
on the vehicle’s placard or tyre inflation
pressure label located on the driver’s
side centre pillar outer panel.If you cannot reach a service station or
if the tyre cannot hold the newly added
air, replace the low pressure tyre with
the spare tyre.
The Low Tyre Pressure Telltale will
remain on and the TPMS Malfunction
Indicator may blink for one minute
and then remain illuminated (when
the vehicle is driven approximately 10
minutes at speed above 15.5 mph (25
km/h)) until you have the low pressure
tyre repaired and replaced on the
vehicle.
CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the Low Tyre
Pressure Telltale may be illuminated if
the tyre pressure was adjusted to the
recommended tyre inflation pressure
in warm weather. It does not mean
your TPMS is malfunctioning because
the decreased temperature leads to a
proportional lowering of tyre 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 tyre inflation
pressure and adjust the tyres to the
recommended tyre inflation pressure.
WARNING
Low pressure damage
Significantly low tyre pressure makes
the vehicle unstable and can contribute
to loss of vehicle control and increased
braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure
tyres can cause the tyres to overheat
and fail.

Emergency situations
TPMS (Tyre 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 Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System.
We recommend that you have the
system checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer as soon as possible.
NOTICE
If there is a malfunction with the TPMS,
the Low Tyre Pressure Position Telltale
will not be displayed even though the
vehicle has an under-inflated tyre.
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 tyre with TPMS
If you have a flat tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure and Position telltales will come
on. We recommend that you have
the flat tyre repaired by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer as soon as possible
or replace the flat tyre with the spare
tyre.
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
tyre. Tyre sealant not approved by
HYUNDAI dealer or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle may damage
the tyre pressure sensor.
The spare tyre (if equipped) does not
come with a tyre pressure monitoring
sensor. When the low pressure tyre or
the flat tyre is replaced with the spare
tyre, the Low Tyre 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 tyre pressure monitoring sensor is
reinflated to the recommended pressure
and reinstalled on the vehicle, the
Low Tyre Pressure Telltale and TPMS
Malfunction Indicator will go off within a
few minutes of driving.
❈ All vehicles sold in the EUROPE
market during below period must be
equipped with TPMS.
- New model vehicle : Nov. 1, 2012 ~
- Current model vehicle : Nov. 1, 2014~
(Based on vehicle registrations)

If the indicators do not extinguish after
a few minutes, it is recommended to
contact the nearest authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
Each wheel is equipped with a tyre
pressure sensor mounted inside the tyre
behind the valve stem (except for the
spare tyre). You must use TPMS specific
wheels. It is recommended that you
always have your tyres serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
You may not be able to identify a tyre
with low pressure by simply looking at it.
Always use a good quality tyre pressure
gauge to measure. Please note that a
tyre that is hot (from being driven) will
have a higher pressure measurement
than a tyre that is cold.
A cold tyre 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 tyre to cool before measuring
the inflation pressure. Always be sure
the tyre is cold before inflating to the
recommended pressure.
WARNING

[The TPMS cannot alert you to severe
and sudden tyre 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 Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) components may interfere
with the system’s ability to warn the
driver of low tyre pressure conditions
and/or TPMS malfunctions. Tampering
with, modifying, or disabling the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may void the warranty for
that portion of the vehicle.
WARNING

[Do not modify the vehicle; it may
interfere with the TPMS function.

[The wheels on the market do not
have a TPMS sensor.

[For your safety, we recommend that
you use parts for replacement from a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

[If you use the wheels on the market,
use a TPMS sensor approved by a
HYUNDAI dealer or the equivalent
approved for your vehicle. If your
vehicle is not equipped with a TPMS
sensor or TPMS does not work
properly, you may fail the periodic
vehicle inspection conducted in your
country.
