2023 HYUNDAI TUCSON HYBRID Owners Manual

Emergency Situations8-16
You may not be able to identify a tire
with low pressure by simply looking at it.
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 mile (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, 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. Tampering
with, modifying, or disabling the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may void the warranty for
that portion of the vehicle.
Information
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, and
2. This device must accept any
interference received, including

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.

Components of the Tire Mobility Kit
OTM080022
1. Speed restriction label
2. Sealant and sealant bottle
3. Connection hose of compressor and tire
4. Connector and cable for connection of power outlet
5. Holder for the sealant bottle
6. Compressor
7. ON/OFF switch
8. Pressure gauge for displaying the tire inflation pressure
9. Valve for reducing tire inflation pressure
Connectors, cable and connection hose are stored in the compressor housing.
Strictly follow the specified sequence, otherwise the sealant may escape under high
pressure.

Emergency Situations8-20
WARNING
Do not use the tire sealant after the
sealant has expired (for example, past
the expiration date on the sealant
container). This can increase the risk of
tire failure.
WARNING

[ Keep out of reach of children.

[ Avoid contact with eyes.

[ Do not swallow.
Using the Tire Mobility Kit
WARNING
ONX4080010
Detach the speed restriction label (1)
from the sealant bottle (2), and place
it in a highly visible place inside the
vehicle such as on the steering wheel to
remind the driver not to drive too fast.
OTM080025
1. Shake the sealant bottle (2).

OTM080023
2. Remove the cover (A) of the sealant bottle (2) and compressor (6).
OTM080024
3. Connect the sealant bottle (2) and compressor (6).
4. Make sure that the valve (9) for reducing tire inflation pressure is
closed.
ONX4080011
5. Unscrew the valve cap from the valve of the defective and screw
the connection hose (3) of the
compressor and tire.
NOTICE
Securely install the sealant filling hose
to the valve. If not, sealant may flow
backward, possibly clogging the filling
hose.
6. Make sure the compressor turns off by pressing [O] of the main switch (7).
ONX4080012
7. Connect the cable and connector (4) to the power outlet in the vehicle.
8. Start the vehicle.

Emergency Situations8-22
9. With the vehicle ON ( indicator ON), switch on
the compressor and let it run for
approximately 5~7 minutes to fill
the sealant up to proper pressure.
(Refer to “Tire and Wheels” section
in chapter2). The inflation pressure of
the tire after filling is unimportant and
will be checked/corrected later.
Be careful not to overinflate the tire
and stay away from the tire when
filling it.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to drive your vehicle if
the tire pressure is below 200 kpa (29
psi). This could result in an accident due
to sudden tire failure.
10. Switch off the compressor.
11. Detach the hoses from the sealant bottle connector and from the tire
valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its storage
location in the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not leave your vehicle running in
a poorly ventilated area for extended
periods of time. Carbon monoxide
poisoning and suffocation can occur.
Distributing the sealant
OOSH079022L
12. Immediately drive approximately 4~6 miles (7~10 km or about 10 minutes)
to evenly distribute the sealant in the
tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80
km/h). If possible, do not fall below a
speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).
While driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive with
caution until you can safely pull off of the
side of the road.
Call for road side service or towing.

14. Connect the connection hose (3) of the compressor and tire into the tire
valve.
15. Connect cables (4) to the power outlet.
16. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the recommended tire inflation.
With the vehicle in the ready (
)
mode, proceed as follows.
- To increase the inflation pressure:
Switch on the compressor.
T
o check the current inflation
pressure setting, briefly switch off
the compressor.
- To reduce the inflation pressure:
Press the button (9) on the
compr
essor.
NOTICE
Do not let the compressor run for more
than 10 minutes, otherwise the device
will overheat and may be damaged.
