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.

Driving your vehicle

Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where you
drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how many
miles (kilometers) you can get from a gal-
lon (litre) of fuel. To operate your vehicle
as economically as possible, use the fol-
lowing driving suggestions to help save
money in both fuel and repairs:
• Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moder-
ate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts
or full-throttle shifts and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Do not race
between stoplights. Try to adjust your
speed to that of the other traffic so you
don't have to change speeds unneces-
sarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever
possible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you can
avoid unnecessary braking. This also
reduces brake wear.
• Drive at a moderate speed. The faster
you drive, the more fuel your car uses.
Driving at a moderate speed, especial-
ly on the highway, is one of the most
effective ways to reduce fuel consump-
tion.• Do not "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.
This can increase fuel consumption
and also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In addition, driving with your
foot resting on the brake pedal may
cause the brakes to overheat, which
reduces their effectiveness and may
lead to more serious consequences.
• Take care of your tyres. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pressure.
Incorrect inflation, either too much or
too little, results in unnecessary tyre
wear. Check the tyre pressures at least
once a month.
• Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper alignment can
result from hitting kerbs or driving too
fast over irregular surfaces. Poor align-
ment causes faster tyre wear and may
also result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption.
• Keep your car in good condition. For
better fuel economy and reduced
maintenance costs, maintain your car
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule. If you drive your car in
severe conditions, more frequent main-
tenance is required.• Keep your car clean. For maximum
service, your vehicle should be kept
clean and free of corrosive materials. It
is especially important that mud, dirt,
ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate
on the underside of the car. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel con-
sumption and also contribute to corro-
sion.
• Travel lightly. Do not carry unnecessary
weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel
economy.
• Do not let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (and not
in traffic), turn off your engine and
restart only when you're ready to go.
• Remember, your vehicle does not
require extended warm-up. After the
engine has started, allow the engine to
run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to plac-
ing the vehicle in gear. In very cold
weather, however, give your engine a
slightly longer warm-up period.
• Do not "labour" or "over-rev" the
engine. Labouring is driving too slowly
in too high a gear resulting in the vehi-
cle kangarooing. If this happens, shift
to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing
the engine beyond its safe limit. This
can be avoided by shifting at the rec-
ommended speeds.

Driving your vehicle
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no high-
er than the bottom of the wheel hub.
Drive through any water slowly. Allow
adequate stopping distance because
brake performance may be affected.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times whilst the vehicle is moving slowly.
Driving off-road
Drive carefully off-road because your
vehicle may be damaged by rocks or
roots of trees. Become familiar with the
off-road conditions where you are going
to drive before you begin driving.Dual carrigeway/Motorway driving
Tyres:
Adjust the tyre inflation pressures to
specification. Low tyre inflation pressures
will result in overheating and possible
failure of the tyres.
Avoid using worn or damaged tyres
which may result in reduced traction or
tyre failure.
✽NOTICE
Never exceed the maximum tyre infla-
tion pressure shown on the tyres.
WARNING
• Underinflated or overinflated
tyres can cause poor handling,
loss of vehicle control, and sud-
den tyre failure leading to acci-
dents, injuries, and even death.
Always check the tyres for proper
inflation before driving. For prop-
er tyre pressures, refer to “Tyres
and wheels” in section 9.
• Driving on tyres with no or insuf-
ficient tread is dangerous. Worn-
out tyres can result in loss of
vehicle control, collisions, injury,
and even death. Worn-out tyres
should be replaced as soon as
possible and should never be
used for driving. Always check
the tyre tread before driving your
car. For further information and
tread limits, refer to “Tyres and
wheels” in section 7.

Driving your vehicle
If you are considering towing with your
car, you should first check with your
Local Laws to determine their legal
requirements.
Since laws vary from country to country,
the requirements for towing trailers, cars,
or other types of vehicles or apparatus
may differ. We recommend that you ask a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.✽NOTICE - For Europe
• The technically permissible maximum
load on the rear axle(s) may be
exceeded by not more than 15 % and
the technically permissible maximum
laden mass of the vehicle may be
exceeded by not more than 10 % or
100 kg (220.4 lbs), whichever value is
lower. In this case, do not exceed 100
km/h (62.1 mph) for vehicle of catego-
ry M1 or 80 km/h (49.7 mph) for vehi-
cle of category N1.
• When towing a trailer, the additional
load imposed at the trailer coupling
device may cause the rear tyre maxi-
mum load ratings to be exceeded, but
not by more than 15%. In such a case,
do not exceed 100 Km/h, and the rear
tyre pressure should be at least 20
kPa(0.2 bar) above the tyre pres-
sure(s) as recommended for normal
use (i.e. without a trailer attached).
Your vehicle can tow a trailer. To identify
what the vehicle trailering capacity is for
your vehicle, you should read the infor-
mation in “Weight of the trailer” that
appears later in this section.
Remember that trailering is different than
just driving your vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes in handling,
durability, and fuel economy. Successful,
safe trailering requires correct equip-
ment, and it has to be used properly.
This section contains many time-tested,
important trailering tips and safety rules.
Many of these are important for your
safety and that of your passengers.
Please read this section carefully before
you pull a trailer.
Load-pulling components such as the
engine, transmission, wheel assemblies,
and tyres are forced to work harder
against the load of the added weight. The
engine is required to operate at relatively
higher speeds and under greater loads.
This additional burden generates extra
heat. The trailer also adds considerably
to wind resistance, increasing the pulling
requirements.
TRAILER TOWING
CAUTION
Pulling a trailer improperly can
damage your vehicle and result in
costly repairs not covered by your
warranty. To pull a trailer correctly,
follow the advice in this section.
WARNING- Towing a trail-
er
If you don't use the correct equip-
ment and drive improperly, you can
lose control when you pull a trailer.
For example, if the trailer is too
heavy, the brakes may not work
well - or even at all. You and your
passengers could be seriously or
fatally injured. Pull a trailer only if
you have followed all the steps in
this section.
WARNING- Weight limits
Before towing, make sure the total
trailer weight, gross combination
weight, gross vehicle weight, gross
axle weight and trailer nose weight
are all within the limits.

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.

10. To reinstall the wheel, hold it on
the studs, put the wheel nuts on
the studs and tighten them finger
tight. The nuts should be installed
with their tapered small diameter
ends directed inward. Jiggle the
tyre to be sure it is completely
seated, then tighten the nuts as
much as possible with your fin-
gers again.
11. Lower the car to the ground by
turning the wheel nut wrench
counterclockwise.
Then position the wrench as shown
in the drawing and tighten the wheel
nuts. Be sure the socket is seated
completely over the nut. Do not stand
on the wrench handle or use an
extension pipe over the wrench han-
dle. Go around the wheel tightening
every other nut until they are all tight.
Then double-check each nut for
tightness. After changing wheels, we
recommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
65~79 lb·ft (9~11 kg·m)If you have a tyre gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure.
If the pressure is lower than recom-
mended, drive slowly to the nearest
service station and inflate to the cor-
rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust
it until it is correct. Always reinstall
the valve cap after checking or
adjusting tyre pressure. If the cap is
not replaced, air may leak from the
tyre. If you lose a valve cap, buy
another and install it as soon as pos-
sible.
After you have changed wheels,
always secure the flat tyre in its place
and return the jack and tools to their
proper storage locations.
