highly visible place inside the vehicle
such as on the steering wheel to remind
the driver not to drive too fast.

CAUTION If only the tire pressure needs to be
adjusted, refer to the “How to Adjust Tire
Pressure” in this chapter.
Before using the Tire Mobility Kit, be fully
aware of the explanation on the sealant.

5. Make sure the compressor is turned off and plug the compressor power cord
(4) into the vehicle power outlet.
6. With the vehicle on ( indicator on), switch on the compressor and let it run
for about 5-7 minutes to on sealant up
on proper pressure (For more
information, refer to the "Tires and
Wheels" section in chapter 2).
Be careful not to overinflate the tire and
stay away from the tire when filling it.
CAUTION Tire pressure
Do not attempt to drive your vehicle if
the tire pressure is below 29 psi (200
kPa). This could result in an accident
due to sudden tire failure.

7. Switch off the compressor.
8. Detach the hoses from the sealant bottle connector and from the tire
valve.
9. Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its storage location in the vehicle.
B8002508
10.Immediately drive about 4-6 mi. (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.
B8002509
11.After driving about 4-6 mi. (7-10 km or about 10 minutes), stop at a safety
location.
12.Connect the filling hose (3) of the compressor directly to the tire valve.
13.Plug the compressor power cord into the vehicle power outlet.
14.Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the recommended tire inflation.
With the vehicle on ( indicator on)
proceed as follows.

• To increase the inflation pressure: Switch on the compressor. To check
the current tire inflation pressure
setting, briefly switch off the
compressor.
• To reduce the tire inflation pressure: Press the button (9) on the
compressor.
Information The pressure gauge may show higher than
actual reading when the compressor is
running. To get an accurate tire reading, the
compressor needs to be turned off.

CAUTION If the tire inflation pressure is not
maintained, drive the vehicle a second
time, refer to step 9.
Then repeat steps 10 to 13.
Use of the TMK may be ineffectual for tire
damage larger than about 0.16 in. (4 mm).
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer if
the tire cannot be made roadworthy with
the Tire Mobility Kit.

WARNING The tire inflation pressure must be at least
32 psi (220 kPa). If it is not, do not
continue driving.
Call for road side service or towing.

CAUTION Tire pressure sensor (if equipped with
TPMS)
The sealant on the tire pressure sensor
and wheel should be removed when you
replace the tire with a new one and
inspect the tire pressure sensors. Have this done at an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

Information When reinstalling the repaired or replaced tire
and wheel on the vehicle, tighten the wheel
lug nut to 79-94 lbf·ft (11-13 kgf·m).

How to Adjust Tire Pressure

wheel lug nut to 79-94 lbf·ft (11-13 kgf·m).

CAUTION Do not use the sealant when the tire
pressure only needs to be adjusted.

WARNING The tire inflation pressure must be
Inflated to the proper pressure (For more
information, refer to the “Tires and
Wheels” section in chapter 2). If it is not,
do not continue driving.
Call for road side service or towing.

Towing
Towing Service
B8002701(1) Dollies
If emergency towing is necessary, have it
done by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer 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.
2WD vehicle is acceptable to tow the
vehicle with the front wheels on the
ground (without dollies) and the rear
wheels off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged or the vehicle
is being towed with the rear wheels on the
ground, use a towing dolly under the rear
wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used, the
rear of the vehicle should always be lifted,
not the front.

lift and dollies or flatbed equipment with
all the wheels off the ground.
Precautions when moving a short
distance before towing a vehicle
Move short distances within 33 ft. (10 m)
at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less only
when loading on a tow truck or if the
vehicle needs to be repositioned.
At this time, the gear must be in the N
(Neutral) position and the parking brake
must be released. If it is impossible to
operate the gear and parking brake, move
the vehicle with the rear wheel lifted.
