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”.

Coolant
B9001901
Check the condition and connections of
all cooling system hoses and heater
hoses. Replace any swollen or
deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled between
the MAX or F and the MIN or L marks on
the side of the coolant reservoir when the
parts in the motor compartment is cool.
If the coolant level is low, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
WARNING
Keep hands, clothing, and tools away
from the rotating fan blades of the
cooling fan. The cooling fan may continue
to operate even though the vehicle is
turned off and can cause serious injury.
The electric motor for the cooling fan is
controlled by vehicle coolant
temperature, refrigerant pressure and
vehicle speed. As the vehicle coolant
temperature decreases, the electric
motor will automatically shut off.
Recommended coolant
• When adding coolant, use only deionized water, distilled water, or soft
water for your vehicle and never mix
hard water in the coolant filled at the
factory.
• An incorrect coolant mixture may result in severe malfunction or motor
damage.
• Do not use alcohol or methanol coolant or mix them with the specified coolant.
• Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze or less than
35% antifreeze, which could reduce the
effectiveness of the solution.
For mixing percentage, refer to the
following table:
Information If in doubt about the mix ratio, a 50 % water
and 50 % antifreeze mix is the easiest to mix
together because it is the same quantity for
each.
