TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS Malfunction Indicator
will illuminate after it blinks for
approximately one minute when there
is a problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System.
Have the system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.
NOTICE
If there is a malfunction with the TPMS,
the Low Tire Pressure Position Indicator
will not be displayed even though the
vehicle has an under-inflated tire.
NOTICE
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, chargers, remote starters,
navigation, etc. This may interfere with
normal operation of the TPMS.
Changing a Tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and Position indicators will
come on. Have the flat tire repaired by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible or replace the flat tire with the
spare tire.
NOTICE
It is recommended that you do not
use a puncture-repairing agent not
approved by HYUNDAI dealer or the
equivalent specified for your vehicle to
repair and/or inflate a low pressure tire.
Tire sealant not approved by HYUNDAI
dealer or the equivalent specified for
your vehicle may damage the tire
pressure sensor.
The spare tire (if equipped) does not
come with a tire pressure monitoring
sensor. When the low pressure tire or
the flat tire is replaced with the spare
tire, the Low Tire Pressure Indicator will
remain on. Also, the TPMS Malfunction
Indicator will illuminate after blinking
for one minute if the vehicle is driven
at speed above 15.5 mph (25 km/h) for
approximately 10 minutes.
Once the original tire equipped with
a tire pressure monitoring sensor is
reinflated to the recommended pressure
and reinstalled on the vehicle, the
Low Tire Pressure Indicator and TPMS
Malfunction Indicator will go off within a
few minutes of driving.
If the indicators do not extinguish after
a few minutes, contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the tire
behind the valve stem (except for the
spare tire). You must use TPMS specific
wheels. It is recommended that you
always have your tires serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Emergency Situations8-18
Notes on the safe use of the Tire
Mobility Kit

[ Park your car 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 set 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
approximately 4 mm (16 inch).
Please contact the nearest HYUNDAI
dealer if the tire cannot be made
roadworthy with the Tire Mobility Kit.
[
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if a tire
is severely damaged by driving run flat
or with insufficient air pressure.

[ Do not remove any foreign objects
such as nails or screws that have
penetrated the tire.

[ Provided the car is outdoors, leave
the vehicle in the ready (
) mode.
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 -30°C
(-22°F).

[ 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.

Your HYUNDAI vehicle may come
equipped with certain additional
emergency or roadside assistance
accessories that may be useful if a
problem occurs.
Fire Extinguisher
If there is small fire and you know how
to use the fire extinguisher, follow these
steps carefully.
1. Pull out the safety pin at the top of the extinguisher that keeps the handle
from being accidentally pressed.
2. Aim the nozzle towards the base of the fire.
3. Stand approximately 8 ft (2.5 m) away from the fire and squeeze the handle
to discharge the extinguisher. If you
release the handle, the discharge will
stop.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at the base of the fire. After the fire
appears to be out, watch carefully
since it may re-ignite.
First Aid Kit
Supplies for use in giving first aid such as
scissors, bandages and adhesive tape,
etc. are provided.
Triangle Reflector
Place the triangle reflector on the road
to warn oncoming vehicles during
emergencies, such as when the vehicle is
parked by the roadside due to problems.
Tire Pressure Gauge
Tires normally lose some air in day-to-
day use, and you may have to add a air
periodically and usually it is not a sign of
a leaking tire, but of normal wear. Always
check tire pressure when the tires are
cold because tire pressure increases with
temperature.
To check the tire pressure, take the
following steps:
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap that is located on the rim of the tire.
2. Press and hold the gauge against the tire valve. Some air will leak as you
begin and more will leak if you don’t
press the gauge in firmly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will activate the gauge.
4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge to see whether the tire pressure is low
or high.
5. Adjust the tire pressure to the specified pressure. Refer to “Tires and
Wheels” section in chapter 2.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.

TIRES AND WHEELS
WARNING
Tire failure may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an
accident. To reduce risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, take the
following precautions:
• Inspect your tires monthly for
proper inflation as well as wear
and damage.
• The recommended cold tire
pressure for your vehicle can be
found in this manual and on the
tire label located on the driver’s
side center pillar. Always use a
tire pressure gauge to measure
tire pressure. Tires with too
much or too little pressure wear
unevenly causing poor handling.
• Check the pressure of the spare
tire every time you check the
pressure of the other tires on
your vehicle.
• Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of
braking effectiveness, steering
control, or traction.
• ALWAYS replace tires with the
same size, type, construction and
tread pattern as each tire that
was originally supplied with this
vehicle. Using tires and wheels
other than the recommended
sizes could cause unusual
handling characteristics, poor
vehicle control, or negatively
affect your vehicle’s Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) resulting in a
serious accident.
Tire Care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended
tire inflation pressures and stay
within the load limits and weight
distribution recommended for your
vehicle.
OTM010024L OTM010024L
All specifications (sizes and
pressures) can be found on a label
attached to the driver’s side center
pillar.
Recommended Cold Tire
Inflation Pressures
All tire pressures (including the
spare) should be checked when the
tires are cold. “Cold tires” means the
vehicle has not been driven for at
least three hours or driven less than 1
mile (1.6 km).
Warm tires normally exceed
recommended cold tire pressures
by 4 to 6 psi (28 to 41 kPa). Do not
release air from warm tires to adjust
the pressure or the tires will be
under-inflated. For recommended
inflation pressure, refer to “Tire and
Wheels” section in chapter 2.
