Notes on the safe use of the
Tyre Mobility Kit

[Park your car at the side of the road
so that you can work with the Tyre
Mobility Kit away from moving traffic.

[To be sure your vehicle does not
move, even when you're on fairly level
ground, always set your parking brake.

[Only use the Tyre Mobility Kit for
sealing/inflation passenger car tyres.
Only punctured areas located within
the tread region of the tyre can be
sealed using the tyre mobility kit.

[Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles or
any other type of tyres.

[When the tyre and wheel are
damaged, do not use Tyre Mobility Kit
for your safety.

[Use of the Tyre Mobility Kit may not be
effective for tyre damage larger than
approximately 0.24 in (6 mm).
We recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
[Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit
if a tyre 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 tyre.

[Provided the car is outdoors, leave the
engine running. Otherwise operating
the compressor may eventually drain
the car battery.

[Never leave the Tyre Mobility Kit
unattended whilst it is being used.

[Do not leave the compressor running
for more than 10 min. at a time or it
may overheat.

[Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit if the
ambient temperature is below -22°F
(-30°C).

WARNING
Carbon monoxide
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
11. Immediately drive approximately
4~6miles (7~10km or, about 10 mins)
to evenly distribute the sealant in the
tyre.
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).
Whilst driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive with
caution until you can safely pull off the
vehicle on the side of the road.
Call for road side service or towing.
When you use the Tyre Mobility Kit, the
tyre pressure valve and wheel may be
damaged by sealant, remove the sealant
stained. We recommend that the tyre
pressure valve and wheel be inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Checking the tyre inflation
pressure
1. After driving approximately 4 ~6miles
(7~10km or about 10min), stop at a
safety location.
2. Connect connection hose (10) of the
compressor directly to the tyre valve.
3. Plug the compressor power cord into
the vehicle power outlet.
4. Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to
the recommended tyre inflation.
With the ignition switched on, proceed
as follows.
- To increase the inflation pressure :
Switch on the compressor, position
I. To check the current inflation
pressure setting, briefly switch off
the compressor.
i Information
The pressure gauge may show higher than
actual reading when the compressor is
running. To get an accurate tyre pressure,
the compressor needs to be turned off.
NOTICE
- Tyre pressure valve
We recommend that you use the
sealant of tyre mobility kit from a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer. The
sealant on the tyre pressure valve and
wheel should be removed when you
replace the tyre with a new one and
we recommend that the tyre pressure
valve be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Emergency situations
Towing service
OBC3080014
[A] : Dolly
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or
flatbed is recommended.
It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with
the rear wheels on the ground (without
dollies) and the front wheels off the
ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or
suspension components are damaged or
the vehicle is being towed with the front
wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly
under the front wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used, the
front of the vehicle should always be
lifted, not the rear.
CAUTION

[Do not tow the vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle.
OBC3080015

[Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.

OBC3080020
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you have it done by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer or a commercial tow
truck service.
If towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing hook
at the front (or rear) of the vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing the
vehicle with a cable or chain. A driver
must be in the vehicle to steer it and
operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a short
distance and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
CAUTION
The driver must be in the vehicle for
steering and braking operations when
the vehicle is being towed. Passengers
other than the driver must not be in the
vehicle.
Always follow these emergency towing
precautions:

[Place the ignition switch in the ACC
position so the steering wheel is not
locked.

[Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).

[Release the parking brake.

[Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will have
reduced braking performance.

[More steering effort will be required
because the power steering system
will be disabled.

[Use a vehicle heavier than your own to
tow your vehicle.

[The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other
frequently.

[Before emergency towing, check that
the hook is not broken or damaged.

[Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.

[Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and
even force.

OBC3080021

[Use a towing cable or chain less than 5
m (16 feet) long. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 30cm (12 inches) in width)
in the middle of the cable or chain for
easy visibility.

[Drive carefully so the towing cable or
chain remains tight during towing.

[Before towing, check the automatic
transmission/dual clutch transmission
for fluid leaks under your vehicle.
If the automatic transmission fluid is
leaking, flatbed equipment or a towing
dolly must be used.
NOTICE
Accelerate or decelerate the vehicle
in a slow and gradual manner whilst
maintaining tension on the tow rope
or chain to start or drive the vehicle,
otherwise tow hooks and the vehicle
may be damaged.
