Emergency Situations7-8
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.
NOTICE
If any of the below happens, have 
the system checked by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
1.  The Low Tire Pressure TPMS  Malfunction Indicator does not 
illuminate for 3 seconds when the 
ignition switch is placed to the ON 
position or engine is running.
2.  The TPMS Malfunction Indicator  remains illuminated after blinking for 
approximately 1 minute.
3.  The Low Tire Pressure LCD display  remains illuminated
 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.
TPMS 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
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 indicator 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.

 CAUTION
It is recommended that you do not use a 
puncture-repairing agent not approved 
by HYUNDAI dealer to repair and/or 
inflate a low pressure tire. Tire sealant 
not approved by HYUNDAI dealer may 
damage the tire pressure sensor.
The spare tire 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 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 20 minutes.
Once the original tire equipped with 
a tire pressure monitoring sensor is 
reinflated to the recommended pressure 
and reinstalled on the vehicle, the TPMS 
Malfunction Indicator will go off within a 
few minutes of driving.
If the indicators do not disappear after a 
few minutes, please visit 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.
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 the tire’s inflation 
pressure. 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.
