With Tire Mobility Kit
(TMK, if equipped)
For safe operation, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this
manual before use.
(1) Compressor
(2) Sealant bottle
The Tire Mobility Kit is a temporary
fix to the tire and the tire should be
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay
mobile even after experiencing a tire
puncture.
The system of compressor and seal-
ing compound effectively and com-
fortably seals most punctures in a
passenger car tire caused by nails
or similar objects and reinflates the
tire.
After you ensured that the tire is
properly sealed you can drive cau-
tiously on the tire (distance up to 120
miles (200 km)) at a max. speed of
(50mph (80 km/h)) in order to reach
a service station or tire dealer for the
tire replacement.
CAUTION - One sealant
for one tire
When two or more tires are flat,do not use the tire mobility kitbecause the supported onesealant of Tire Mobility Kit isonly used for one flat tire.
WARNING - Tire wall
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit
to repair punctures in the tire
walls. This can result in an acci-
dent due to tire failure.
WARNING - Temporary fix
Have your tire repaired as soon
as possible. The tire may lose
air pressure at any time after
inflating with the Tire Mobility
Kit.

What to do in an emergency
Using the Tire Mobility Kit
1.Detach the speed restriction label(0) from the sealant bottle (1), 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.
2.Screw connection hose (9) onto the connector of the sealant bottle.
3.Ensure that screw cap (8) is closed.
4.Unscrew the valve cap from the valve of the flat tire and screw fill-
ing hose (2) of the sealant bottle
onto the valve.
5.Insert the sealant bottle into the housing (4) of the compressor so
that the bottle is upright. 6.Ensure that the compressor is
switched off, position 0.
7.Plug the compressor power cord into the vehicle power outlet.
8.With the engine start/stop button position on or ignition switch posi-
tion on, switch on the compressor
and let it run for approximately 5~7
minutes to fill the sealant up to
proper pressure. (refer to the Tire
and Wheels, chapter 8). The infla-
tion 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. 9. Switch off the compressor.
10. Detach the hoses from the
sealant bottle connector and
from the tire valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor-
age location in the vehicle.

CAUTION - Tire pressure
Do not attempt to drive your vehicle if the tire pressure isbelow 29 psi (200kpa). Thiscould result in an accident dueto sudden tire failure.
WARNING - Carbon monoxide
Do not leave your vehicle run-
ning in a poorly ventilated area
for extended periods of time.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
and suffocation can occur.

Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
Check the engine oil level.
Check coolant level in the enginecoolant reservoir.
Check the windshield washer fluid level.
Check for low or under-inflated tires
While operating your vehicle:
Note any changes in the sound ofthe 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 loose-
ness in the steering wheel, or
change in its straight-ahead posi-
tion.
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 transaxle occurs,
check the transaxle fluid level.
Check the automatic transaxle P (Park) function.
Check the parking brake.
Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
At least monthly:
Check coolant level in the enginecoolant reservoir.
Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flash-
ers.
Check the inflation pressures of all tires including the spare for tires
that are worn, show uneven wear,
or are damaged.
Check for loose wheel lug nuts.

For mixing percentage, refer to the
following table:
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If in doubt about the mix ratio, a
50% water and 50% antifreeze mix
is the easiest to mix together as it
will be the same quantity of each. It
is suitable to use for most tempera-
ture ranges of -31°F and higher.
Changing engine coolant
Have coolant changed by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer according to
the Maintenance Schedule at the
beginning of this chapter.CAUTION
To prevent damage to engine
parts, put a thick towel aroundthe radiator cap before refillingthe coolant to prevent thecoolant from overflowing intoengine parts, such as the gener-ator.
WARNING
Do not use engine coolant or antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
Engine coolant can severely obscure visibility when
sprayed on the windshield
and may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an acci-
dent.
Engine coolant may also cause damage to paint and
body trim.

BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID
Checking the brake/clutchfluid
level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap
and adding brake/clutch fluid, clean
the area around the reservoir cap
thoroughly to prevent brake/clutch
fluid contamination. If the level is low, add the specified
brake/clutch fluid to the MAX level.
The level will fall with accumulated
mileage.
This is a normal condition associated
with the wear of the brake linings. If
the fluid level is excessively low, have
the brake/clutch system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Use only the specified brake/clutch
fluid (refer to “Recommended
Lubricants and Capacities” in chap-
ter 8).
WARNING
If the brake/clutch system
requires frequent additions of
fluid this could indicate a leak in
the brake/clutch system. Have
the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid
to come in contact with your
eyes. If brake/clutch fluid comes
in contact with your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get imme-
diate medical attention.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid
to contact the vehicle’s bodypaint, as paint damage willresult.
brake/clutch fluid, which has been exposed to open air foran extended time shouldNEVER be used as its qualitycannot be guaranteed. Itshould be disposed of proper-ly.
Do use the wrong kind of brake/clutch fluid. A few dropsof mineral based oil, such asengine oil, in your brake/clutch system can damagebrake/clutch system parts.
