Low Tyre Pressure Warning
Light (if equipped)
This warning light illuminates:
• Once you set the ignition switch or
Engine Start/Stop Button to the ON
position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3 sec-
onds and then goes off.
• When one or more of your tyres are
significantly underinflated.
For more details, refer to “Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)”
in chapter 6.This warning light remains on after
blinking for approximately 60 seconds or
repeats blinking and off at the intervals
of approximately 3 seconds:
• When there is a malfunction with the
TPMS.
In this case, we recommend that you
have the vehicle inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer as soon
as possible.
For more details, refer to “Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)”
in chapter 6.
WARNING - Safe Stopping
• The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tyre damage
caused by external factors.
• If you notice any vehicle instabili-
ty, immediately take your foot off
the accelerator pedal, apply the
brakes gradually with light force,
and slowly move to a safe posi-
tion off the road.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (IF EQUIPPED)
Low Tyre Pressure Telltale/
TPMS Malfunction IndicatorEach tyre, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-
ard or tyre inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tyres of a different
size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label, you should determine the
proper tyre inflation pressure for
those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tyre
pressure telltale when one or more
of your tyres is significantly under-
inflated.Accordingly, when the low tyre pres-
sure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tyres as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tyre causes the
tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre
failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and
may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tyre pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tyre pressure
telltale.
WARNING
Over-inflation or under-inflation
can reduce tyre life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tyre failure that
may cause loss of vehicle con-
trol resulting in an accident.

What to do in an emergency
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with
the low tyre pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximate-
ly one minute and then remain con-
tinuously illuminated. This sequence
will continue upon subsequent vehi-
cle start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal
low tyre pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alter-
nate tyres or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from function-
ing properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing
one or more tyres or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replace-
ment or alternate tyres and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to func-
tion properly.✽NOTICE
If the TPMS Low Tyre Pressure
Telltale does not illuminate for three
seconds when the ignition switch is
in the ON position or when the
engine starts, or if it remains illumi-
nated after coming on for approxi-
mately three seconds, we recom-
mend that you contact a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
Low Tyre Pressure
Telltale
The TPMS is not a substitute for
manually checking tyre pressure with
a tyre pressure gauge. Changes in
temperature affect tyre pressure.
See “Tyres and Wheels” in chapter 9
for proper tyre inflating and tyre pres-
sure measurement procedures.
If the telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cor-
nering and anticipate increased stop-
ping distances. You should stop and
check your tyres as soon as possi-
ble. Inflate the tyres to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label located on the driver’s side
door jamb. If you cannot reach a
service station or if the tyre cannot
hold the newly added air, replace the
low pressure tyre with the spare tyre.

The Low Tyre Pressure Telltale will
remain on and the TPMS Malfunction
Indicator may blink for one minute
and then remain illuminated (when
the vehicle is driven approximately
10 minutes at speed above 25 km/h
(15.5 mph)) until you have the low
pressure tyre repaired and replaced
on the vehicle.
✽NOTICE
The spare tyre is not equipped with
a tyre pressure sensor.
TPMS Malfunction
Indicator
The TPMS Malfunction Indicator
comes on after it blinks for approxi-
mately one minute when there is a
problem with the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System.
We recommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
✽NOTICE
The TPMS Malfunction Indicator
may illuminate after blinking for one
minute if the vehicle is near electric
power supply cables or radio trans-
mitters such as police stations, gov-
ernment and public offices, broad-
casting stations, military installations,
airports, transmitting towers, etc.
Additionally, the TPMS Malfunction
Indicator may illuminate if snow
chains are used or electronic devices
such as computers, chargers, remote
starters, navigation, etc. This may
interfere with normal operation of
the TPMS.
(Continued)
When you drive your vehicle
from a warm area to a cold area
or from a cold area to a warm
area, or the outside temperature
is greatly higher or lower, you
should check the tyre inflation
pressure and adjust the tyres to
the recommended tyre inflation
pressure.
CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the
Low Tyre Pressure Telltale may
be illuminated if the tyre pres-
sure was adjusted to the recom-
mended tyre inflation pressure
in warm weather. It does not
mean your TPMS is malfunction-
ing because the decreased tem-
perature leads to a proportional
lowering of tyre pressure.
(Continued)
WARNING
• Significantly low tyre pres-
sure makes the vehicle unsta-
ble and can contribute to loss
of vehicle control and
increased braking distances.
• Continued driving on low
pressure tyres can cause the
tyres to overheat and fail.

What to do in an emergency
Changing a Tyre with TPMS
If you have a flat tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure Telltale will illuminate. If you
believe you have a flat tyre or feel
any vehicle instability, take your foot
off the accelerator pedal and let the
vehicle slow down whilst driving
straight ahead. Do not apply the
brakes immediately or attempt to pull
off the road as this may cause a loss
of control resulting in an accident.
When the vehicle has slowed to such
a speed that it is safe to do so, brake
carefully and pull off the road. Drive
off the road as far as possible and
park on firm, level ground. If you are
on a divided highway, do not park in
the median area between the two
traffic lanes. Replace the flat tyre
with the compact spare tyre.The spare tyre is not equipped with a
tyre pressure monitoring sensor.
When the low pressure tyre or the flat
tyre is replaced with the spare tyre,
the Low Tyre Pressure Telltale will
remain on. Also, the TPMS
Malfunction Indicator will illuminate
after blinking for one minute if the
vehicle is driven at speed above 25
km/h (15.5 mph) for approximately 10
minutes.
Once the original tyre equipped with
a tyre pressure monitoring sensor is
reinflated to the recommended pres-
sure and reinstalled on the vehicle,
the Low Tyre Pressure Telltale and
TPMS Malfunction Indicator will go
off within a few minutes.
If the indicator is not extinguished
after a few minutes of driving, We rec-
ommend that the system be checked
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Each wheel is equipped with a tyre
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tyre behind the valve stem (except for
the spare tyre). You must use TPMS
specific wheels. It is recommended
that you always have your tyres serv-
iced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer as soon as possible.
CAUTION
To prevent damaging your tyre
pressure sensor, never use a
puncture-repairing agents or
tyre sealants to repair and/or
inflate a low pressure tyre. If
used, you will have to replace
the tyre pressure sensor.
WARNING - For EUROPE
• Do not modify the vehicle, it
may interfere with the TPMS
function.
• The wheels on the market do
not have a TPMS sensor.
For your safety, we recom-
mend that you use parts for
replacement from a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
• If you use the wheels on the
market, use a TPMS sensor
approved by a HYUNDAI dealer.
If your vehicle is not equipped
with a TPMS sensor or TPMS
does not work properly, you
may fail the periodic vehicle
inspection conducted in your
country.
❈All vehicles sold in the
EUROPE market during below
period must be equipped with
TPMS.
