Tire Pressure Monitoring System
WARNING
Over-inflation or under-inflation can
reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle
handling, and lead to sudden tire failure
that may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on
a significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating
properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists.
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 Telltale/ TPMS Malfunction Indicator does not
illuminate for 3 seconds when the
Engine Start/Stop button is pressed
to the ON position or when the
engine is running.
2. The TPMS Malfunction Indicator remains illuminated after blinking for
approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low Tire Pressure Position Telltale remains illuminated.

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 0.16 inch (4 mm) or in
the sidewall.
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
engine running. 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 -22°F
(30°C).

[ 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.

WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with a
rollover sensor, set the Engine Start/
Stop button in the OFF or ACC position
when the vehicle is being towed.
The side impact and curtain air bag
may deploy if the sensor detects the
situation as a rollover.
When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies:
1. Set the Engine Start/Stop button in the ACC position.
2. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
3. Release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Failure to place the shift lever in N
(Neutral) when being towed with the
front wheels on the ground can cause
internal damage to the transmission.

Emergency situations8-24
Emergency Towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you have it done by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer or a commercial tow
truck service.
If a 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:

[
Set the Engine Start/Stop button in
the ACC position so the steering
wheel is not locked. (if equipped)

[ 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.

When you stop for fuel:

[ Check the coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir or the water-cooled
intercooler coolant reservoir.

[ Check the windshield washer fluid
level.

[ Check for low or under-inflated tires.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your coolant
level when the engine is hot. This may
result in coolant being blown out of the
opening and cause serious burns and
other injuries.
While operating your vehicle:

[Note any changes in the sound of the
exhaust or any smell of exhaust fumes
in the vehicle.

[ Check for vibrations in the steering
wheel. Notice if there is any increased
steering effort or looseness in the
steering wheel, or change in its
straight-ahead position.

[ Notice if your vehicle constantly turns
slightly or “pulls” to one side when
traveling on smooth, level road.

[ When stopping, listen and check for
unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or “hard-
to-push” brake pedal.

[ If any slipping or changes in the
operation of your transmission occurs,
check the transmission fluid level.
