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.

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.
