What to do in an emergency
If the Engine Doesn't Turn
Over or Turns Over Slowly
Be sure the shift lever is in N (Neutral)or P (Park). The engine starts only
when the shift lever is in N (Neutral) or
P (Park).
Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate the
starter, the battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it.
This could cause damage to your vehi-
cle. See instructions for "Jump Starting"
provided in this chapter.
If the Engine Turns Over
Normally but Doesn't Start
Check the fuel level and add fuel if nec-
essary.
If the engine still does not start, have
your vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Jump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Follow the jump starting pro-
cedure in this section to avoid serious
injury or damage to your vehicle. If in
doubt about how to properly jump start
your vehicle, we strongly recommend
that you have a service technician or tow-
ing service do it for you.

The TPMS Malfunction Indicator
may illuminate after blinking for
one minute if the vehicle is near
electric power supply cables or
radio transmitters such as police
stations, government and public
offices, broadcasting stations,
military installations, airports,
transmitting towers, etc.
Additionally, the TPMS
Malfunction Indicator may illumi-
nate if snow chains are used or
electronic devices such as com-
puters, chargers, remote starters,
navigation, etc. This may interfere
with normal operation of the
TPMS.
Changing a Tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and LCD position indicator
will come on. Have the flat tire
repaired by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible or
replace the flat tire with the spare
tire.
The spare tire does not come with a
tire pressure monitoring sensor.
When the low pressure tire or the flat
tire is replaced with the spare tire,
the Low Tire Pressure LCD position
indicator will remain on. Also, the
TPMS Malfunction Indicator will illu-
minate after blinking for one minute if
the vehicle is driven at speed above
15.5 mph (25 km/h) for approximate-
ly 20 minutes.Once the original tire equipped with
a tire pressure monitoring sensor is
reinflated to the recommended pres-
sure and reinstalled on the vehicle,
the Low Tire Pressure LCD position
indicator and TPMS Malfunction
Indicator will go off within a few min-
utes of driving.
If the indicators do not disappear
after a few minutes, please visit an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem (except for
the spare tire). You must use TPMS
specific wheels. It is recommended
that you always have your tires serv-
iced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
NOTICE
It is recommended that you do
not use a puncture-repairing
agent not approved by
HYUNDAI dealer to repair
and/or inflate a low pressure
tire. Tire sealant not approved
by HYUNDAI dealer may dam-
age the tire pressure sensor.
