If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tyres as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tyres to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label located on the driver’s side
centre pillar outer panel. If you can-
not reach a service station or if the
tyre cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tyre with a
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 25 km/h)
until you have the low pressure tyre
repaired and replaced on the vehicle.Information
The spare tyre is not equipped with a
tyre pressure sensor.
i
In winter or cold weather, the low
tyre pressure telltale may illumi-
nate 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 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 higher or lower, you should
check the tyre inflation pressure
and adjust the tyres to the rec-
ommended tyre inflation pres-
sure.
CAUTION
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 pres-
sure tyres can cause the tyres
to overheat and fail.

TPMS (Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator will
illuminate after it blinks for approxi-
mately one minute when there is a
problem with the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
If there is a malfunction with the
TPMS, the low tyre pressure posi-
tion telltale will not be displayed
even though the vehicle has an
under-inflated tyre.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, charg-
ers, 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 the
flat tyre be repaired by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possi-
ble or replace the flat tyre with the
spare tire.
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.
NOTICE
NOTICE
NEVER use a puncture-repair-
ing agent to repair and/or inflate
a low pressure tyre. The tyre
sealant can damage the tyre
pressure sensor. If used, you
will have to replace the tyre
pressure sensor.

Also, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator
will illuminate after blinking for one
minute if the vehicle is driven at
speed above 25 km/h for approxi-
mately 10 minutes.
Once the original tyre equipped with
a tyre pressure monitoring sensor is
reinflated to the recommended pres-
sure and reinstalled on the vehicle,
the Low Tyre Pressure Telltale and
TPMS Malfunction Indicator will go
off within a few minutes of driving.
If the indicators do not extinguish
after a few minutes, please visit an
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 recom-
mended that you have your tyres
serviced by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.You may not be able identify a tyre
with low pressure by simply looking
at it. Always use a good quality tyre
pressure gauge to measure the
tyre's inflation pressure. 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 1.6 km in that 3 hour peri-
od.
Allow the tyre to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tyre is cold before inflating
to the recommended pressure.
The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tyre dam-
age caused by external factors
such as nails or road debris.
If you feel any vehicle instabil-
ity, immediately take your foot
off the accelerator, apply the
brakes gradually and with
light force, and slowly move to
a safe position off the road.

What to do in an emergency
Protecting TPMS
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) com-
ponents may interfere with the
system's ability to warn the driv-
er of low tyre pressure condi-
tions and/or TPMS malfunctions.
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) com-
ponents 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 recom-
mend that you use parts for
replacement from an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer.
If you use the wheels on the
market, use a TPMS sensor
approved by a HYUNDAI deal-
er. If your vehicle is not
equipped with a TPMS sensor
or TPMS does not work prop-
erly, you may fail the periodic
vehicle inspection conducted
in your country.
