Tire chains (Wire chains)
B6015201
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner than other types of tires, they may
be damaged by mounting some types of
tire chains on them. Therefore, the use of
snow tires is recommended instead of tire
chains. If tire chains must be used, use
genuine Hyundai parts and install the tire
chain after reviewing the instructions
provided with the tire chains. Damage to
your vehicle caused by improper tire
chain use is not covered by your vehicle
manufacturer’s warranty.
When using tire chains, install tire chains
only on the rear tires.
WARNING The use of tire chains may adversely
affect vehicle handling:
• Drive less than 20 mph (30 km/h) or the chain manufacturer’s recommended
speed limit, whichever is lower.
• Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes, sharp turns, and other road hazards,
which may cause the vehicle to
bounce.
• Avoid sharp turns or locked wheel braking.

Information • Install tire chains only in pairs and on the rear tires. It should be noted that installing
tire chains on the tires will provide a greater
driving force, but will not prevent side
skids.
• Do not install studded tires without first checking local and municipal regulations
for possible restrictions against their use.

Tire chains (Auto sock)
B6015202
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner, they can be damaged by
mounting some types of snow chains on
them. Therefore, the use of snow tires is
recommended instead of snow chains.
Do not mount tire chains on vehicle
equipped with aluminum wheels; snow
chains may cause damage to the wheels.
If snow chains must be used, use
AutoSock (fabric snow chain). Damage to
your vehicle caused by improper snow
chain use is not covered by your vehicle
manufacturer’s warranty.
When using tire chains, install tire chains
only on the rear tires.

Certification label
OBH059070
The certification label is located on
the driver's door sill at the center
pillar and shows the maximum
allowable weight of the fully loaded
vehicle. This is called the GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The
GVWR includes the weight of the
vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.
This label also tells you the maximum
weight that can be supported by the
front and rear axles, called Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR).
The total weight of the vehicle,
including all occupants, accessories,
cargo, and trailer tongue load must
not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out
the actual loads on your front and
rear axles, you need to go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle. Be
sure to spread out your load equally
on both sides of the centerline.
WARNING Overloading
• Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, the GAWR for either the
front or rear axle and vehicle
capacity weight. Exceeding these ratings can affect your vehicle's
handling and braking ability, and
cause an accident.

• Do not overload your vehicle. Overloading your vehicle can cause
heat buildup in your vehicle's tires and
possible tire failure, increased stopping
distances and poor vehicle handling-all
of which may result in a collision.

WARNING If you carry items inside your vehicle
(for example, suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else), they are
moving as fast as the vehicle. If you
have to stop or turn quickly, or if there
is a crash, the items will keep going
and can cause an injury if they strike
the driver or a passenger.
• Put items in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weight
evenly.
• Do not stack items, like suitcases, inside the vehicle above the tops of
the seats.
• Do not leave an unsecured child restraint in your vehicle.
• When you carry something inside the vehicle, secure it.

Trailer Towing
We do not recommend using this vehicle
for trailer towing.

Tire Pressure Monitoring
System
WARNING Over-inflation or under-inflation can
reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle
handling, and lead to sudden tire failure
that may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.

Each tire, 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
tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire 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 tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
about 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 tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.

Low Tire Pressure Warning
Light
Low Tire Pressure Position
and Tire Pressure Telltale
B8002102
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illuminated
and a warning message displayed on the
cluster 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 parking
light.
If either telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cornering
and anticipate increased stopping
distances. You should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible. Inflate the
tires to the proper pressure as indicated
on the vehicle’s placard or tire inflation
pressure label located on the driver’s side
center pillar outer panel.
If you cannot reach a service station or if
the tire cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tire with the
spare tire.The Low Tire Pressure Telltale will remain
on and the TPMS Malfunction Indicator
may blink for one minute and then remain
illuminated (when the vehicle is driven
about 10 minutes at speed above 15.5
mph (25 km/h)) until you have the low
pressure tire repaired and replaced on the
vehicle.
CAUTION In winter or cold weather, the Low Tire
Pressure Telltale may be illuminated if the
tire pressure was adjusted to the
recommended tire inflation pressure in
warm weather. It does not mean your
TPMS is malfunctioning because the
decreased temperature leads to a
proportional lowering of tire 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 tire inflation pressure and adjust the
tires to the recommended tire inflation
pressure.

WARNING Low pressure damage
Significantly low tire pressure makes the
vehicle unstable and can contribute to
loss of vehicle control and increased
braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure tires
can cause the tires to overheat and fail.

If You Have a Flat Tire
if equipped
(with Tire Mobility Kit)
B8002501
For safe operation, carefully read and
follow the instructions in this manual
before use.
1. Compressor
2. Sealant bottle
The tire mobility kit is a temporary fix to
the tire, have the tire inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or the sealant
provided with the Tire Mobility Kit must
be used for only one flat tire.
CAUTION When two or more tires are flat, do not
use the tire mobility kit because the
sealant provided with the Tire Mobility Kit
must be used for only one flat tire.

WARNING Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit to repair
punctures in the tire walls. This can result
in an accident due to tire failure.

WARNING Have your tire repaired as soon as
possible. The tire may lose air pressure at
any time after inflating with the Tire
Mobility Kit.

Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit you can stay
mobile even after experiencing a tire
puncture.
The compressor and sealing compound
system effectively and comfortably seals
most punctures in a passenger car tire
caused by nails or similar objects and
reinflates the tire.
After you ensure that the tire is properly
sealed you can drive cautiously on the tire
(distance up to 120 mi. (200 km)) at a max.
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) in order to
reach a service station or tire dealer for
the tire replacement.
It is possible that some tires, especially
with larger punctures or damage to the
sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may adversely
affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid abrupt
steering or other driving maneuvers,
especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded
or if a trailer is in use.
The Tire Mobility Kit is not designed or
intended as a permanent tire repair
method and is to be used for one tire only.
This instruction shows you step by step
how to temporarily seal the puncture
simply and reliably.
Read the section “Notes on the safe use
of the Tire Mobility Kit”.

Notes on the Safe Use of the
Tire Mobility Kit
• Park your vehicle at the side of the road so that you can work with the Tire
Mobility Kit away from moving traffic.
• To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you’re on fairly level ground,
always apply your parking brake.
• Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for sealing/inflation passenger car tires.
Only punctured areas located within
the tread region of the tire can be
sealed using the tire mobility kit.
• Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles or any other type of tires.
• When the tire and wheel are damaged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit for your
safety.
• Use of the Tire Mobility Kit may not be effective for tire damage larger than
about 0.24 in. (6 mm).
• If the tire cannot be made roadworthy with the Tire Mobility Kit, contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if a tire is severely damaged by driving run flat
or with insufficient air pressure. Only
punctured areas located within the
tread region of the tire can be sealed
using the Tire Mobility Kit.
• Do not remove any foreign objects such as nails or screws that have penetrated
the tire.
• Provided the vehicle is outdoors, leave the vehicle running. Otherwise
operating the compressor may
eventually drain the car battery.
• Never leave the Tire Mobility Kit unattended while it is being used.
• Do not leave the compressor running for more than 10 minutes at a time or it
may overheat.
• Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if the ambient temperature is below -22 °F
(-30 °C). • In case of skin contact with the sealant,
wash the area thoroughly with plenty of
water. If the irritation persists, seek
medical attention.
• In case of eye contact with the sealant, flush your eyes for at least 15 minutes. If
the irritation persists, seek medical
attention.
• In case of swallowing the sealant, rinse the mouth and drink plenty of water.
However, never give anything to an
unconscious person and seek medical
attention immediately.
• Long time exposure to the sealant may cause damage to bodily tissue such as
kidney, etc.

Towing
Towing Service
B8002701(1) Dollies
If emergency towing is necessary, have it
done by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or
a commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures are
necessary to prevent damage to the
vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or
flatbed is recommended.
2WD vehicle is acceptable to tow the
vehicle with the front wheels on the
ground (without dollies) and the rear
wheels off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged or the vehicle
is being towed with the rear wheels on the
ground, use a towing dolly under the rear
wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used, the
rear of the vehicle should always be lifted,
not the front.
