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.

Always use a good quality tire pressure
gauge to measure. Please note that a tire
that is hot (from being driven) will have a
higher pressure measurement than a tire
that is cold.
A cold tire means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours and driven for less than
1 mi. (1.6 km) in that 3 hour period.
Allow the tire to cool before measuring
the inflation pressure. Always be sure the
tire is cold before inflating to the
recommended pressure.
WARNING • The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and sudden tire damage caused by
external factors such as nails or road
debris.
• If you feel any vehicle instability, immediately take your foot off the
accelerator pedal, apply the brakes
gradually with light force, and slowly
move to a safe position off the road.

WARNING Tampering with, modifying, or disabling
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) components may interfere with
the system’s ability to warn the driver of
low tire pressure conditions and/or TPMS
malfunctions and may void the warranty.

WARNING This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following three
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including

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.
