Emergency situations
Tyre pressure monitoring
system
WARNING
Over-inflation or under-inflation can
reduce tyre life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to sudden
tyre failure that may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an accident.
Each tyre, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tyre inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tyres of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tyre inflation pressure label,
you should determine the proper tyre
inflation pressure for those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tyre
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tyre pressure
telltale when one or more of your
tyres is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tyre pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tyres as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can
lead to tyre failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tyre tread life, and
may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tyre pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tyre pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator
to indicate when the system is
not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tyre pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tyres or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tyres
or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tyres and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
NOTICE
If any of the below happens, we
recommend that you have the system
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
1. The Low Tyre Pressure Telltale/
TPMS Malfunction Indicator does not
illuminate for 3 seconds when the
Engine Start/Stop button is pressed
to the ON position or when the
engine is running.
2. The TPMS Malfunction Indicator
remains illuminated after blinking for
approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low Tyre Pressure Position
Telltale remains illuminated.

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.

If you have a tyre gauge, check the tyre
pressure (see “Tyres and Wheels” in
chapter 2 for tyre pressure instructions.).
If the pressure is lower or higher than
recommended, drive slowly to the
nearest service station and adjust it to
the recommended pressure. Always
reinstall the valve cap after checking
or adjusting tyre pressure. If the cap
is not replaced, air may leak from the
tyre. If you lose a valve cap, buy another
and install it as soon as possible. After
changing tyres, secure the flat tyre and
return the jack and tools to their proper
storage locations.

tyre. Adjust it to the recommended
pressure.

[ &KHFNDQGWLJKWHQWKHZKHHOOXJQXWV
after driving over 50 km if tyres are
replaced. Re-check the tyre wheel
lug nuts after driving over 1,000 km.
CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on
the studs and lug nuts. Make certain
during tyre changing that the same
nuts that were removed are reinstalled.
If you have to replace your lug nuts
make sure they have metric threads to
avoid damaging the studs and ensure
the wheel is properly secured to the
hub. We recommend that you consult
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer for
assistance.
If any of the equipment such as the jack,
lug nuts, studs, or other equipment is
damaged or in poor condition, do not
attempt to change the tyre and call for
assistance.
Use of compact spare tyres
(if equipped)
Compact spare tyres are designed for
emergency use only. Drive carefully
on the compact spare tyre and always
follow the safety precautions.
WARNING

NOTICE
When the original tyre and wheel
are repaired and reinstalled on the
vehicle, the lug nut torque must be
set correctly. The correct lug nut
tightening torque is 11~13kgf.m (79~94
lbf.ft, 107~127N.m).
CAUTION
To prevent damaging the compact
spare tyre 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 tyre diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tyre and reduces the
ground clearance approximately 25
mm (1 inch).

[Do not use tyre chains on the
compact spare tyre. Because of the
smaller size, a tyre chain will not fit
properly.

[Do not use the compact spare tyre
on any other wheels, nor should
standard tyres, snow tyres, wheel
covers or trim rings be used with the
compact spare wheel.

Emergency situations
Your vehicle is equipped with
emergency commodities to help you
respond to emergency situation.
Fire extinguisher
If there is small fire and you know how
to use the fire extinguisher, follow these
steps carefully.
1. Pull out the safety pin at the top of
the extinguisher that keeps the handle
from being accidentally pressed.
2. Aim the nozzle towards the base of
the fire.
3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft) away
from the fire and squeeze the handle
to discharge the extinguisher. If you
release the handle, the discharge will
stop.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at
the base of the fire. After the fire
appears to be out, watch carefully
since it may re-ignite.
First aid kit
Supplies for use in giving first aid such
as scissors, bandage and adhesive tape,
etc. are provided.
Triangle reflector
Place the triangle reflector on the road
to warn oncoming vehicles during
emergencies, when the vehicle is parked
by the roadside due to problems.
Tyre pressure gauge
Tyres normally lose some air in day-to-
day use, and you may have to add a air
periodically and usually it is not a sign
of a leaking tyre, but of normal wear.
Always check tyre pressure when the
tyres are cold because tyre pressure
increases with temperature.
To check the tyre pressure, take the
following steps:
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap that is
located on the rim of the tyre.
2. Press and hold the gauge against the
tyre valve. Some air will leak as you
begin and more will leak if you don’t
press the gauge firmly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will activate
the gauge.
4. Read the tyre pressure on the gauge
to see whether the tyre pressure is
low or high.
5. Adjust the tyre pressure to the
specified pressure. Refer to “Tyres and
Wheels” in chapter 2.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.

Maintenance
Recommended cold tyre
inflation pressures
All tyre pressures (including the spare)
should be checked when the tyres are
cold. “Cold tyres” means the vehicle has
not been driven for at least three hours
or driven less than one mile (1.6 km).
Warm tyres normally exceed
recommended cold tyre pressures by 28
to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do not release air
from warm tyres to adjust the pressure
or the tyres will be under-inflated. For
recommended inflation pressure, refer
to “Tyre and Wheels” in chapter 2.
WARNING
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, vehicle
handling, and minimum tyre wear.
Over-inflation or under-inflation can
reduce tyre life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to sudden
tyre failure that could result in loss of
vehicle control resulting in an accident.
Severe under-inflation can lead
to severe heat build-up, causing
blowouts, tread separation and other
tyre failures that can result in the
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident. This risk is much higher on
hot days and when driving for long
periods at high speeds.
NOTICE

[ 8QGHULQIODWLRQDOVRUHVXOWVLQ
excessive wear, poor handling
and reduced fuel economy. Wheel
deformation also is possible. Keep
your tyre pressures at the proper
levels. If a tyre frequently needs
refilling, we recommend that the
system be checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.

[ 2YHULQIODWLRQSURGXFHVDKDUVKULGH
excessive wear at the centre of the
tyre tread, and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.
Check tyre inflation pressure
Check your tyres including the spare tyre
once a month or more.
How to check
Use a good quality tyre pressure gauge
to check tyre pressure. You cannot tell if
your tyres are properly inflated simply by
looking at them. Radial tyres may look
properly inflated even when they are
under-inflated.
Remove the valve cap from the tyre
valve stem. Press the tyre gauge
firmly onto the valve to get a pressure
measurement. If the cold tyre inflation
pressure matches the recommended
pressure on the tyre and loading
information label, no further adjustment
is necessary. If the pressure is low, add
air until you reach the recommended
pressure. Make sure to put the valve
caps back on the valve stems. Without
the valve cap, dirt or moisture could
get into the valve core and cause air
leakage. If a valve cap is missing, install
a new one as soon as possible.
