HYUNDAI TUCSON HYBRID 2023 Owners Manual

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

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).

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.

13. After driving approximately 4~6 miles (7~10 km or about 10 minutes), stop at
a safe location.
ONX4080011
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.
Checking the Tire Inflation
Pressure

Emergency Situations8-24
Information
The pressure gauge may show higher than
actual reading when the compressor is
running. To get an accurate tire pressure,
the compressor needs to be turned off.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not
maintained, drive the vehicle a second
time, refer to Distributing the sealant.
Then repeat steps 11 to 14.
Use of the TMK may be ineffectual for
tire damage larger than approximately
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
inflated to the proper pressure (Refer to
“Tire and Wheels” section in chapter 2).
If it is not, do not continue driving.
Call for road side service or towing.
CAUTION
Tire pressure sensor
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. Get
this done at an authorized dealer.
Information
When reinstalling the repaired or replaced
tire and wheel on the vehicle, tighten the
wheel nut to 11~13 kgf·m (79~94 lbf·ft).

A
ONX4080013[A] : 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.
For AWD vehicles, it must be towed
with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
ground.
CAUTION
ONX4080015

[Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.
ONX4080016

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

Emergency Towing
„Front
ONX4080019
„Rear
ONX4H080002
If towing is necessary, 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:

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

[ Place the shift button in N (Neutral).

[ Release the parking brake.

[ Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal as 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.
