What to do in an emergency
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)malfunction indicator
The TPMS Malfunction Indicator will 
illuminate after it blinks for approxi-
mately one minute when there is a
problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. 
Have the system checked by an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible. If there is a malfunction with the 
TPMS, the Low Tire Pressure
Position Telltale will not be dis-
played even though the vehicle
has an under-inflated tire.
NOTICE
In winter or cold weather, the 
Low Tire  Pressure Telltale  maybe illuminated if the tire pres-sure was adjusted to the recom-mended tire inflation pressure
in warm weather. It does not
mean your TPMS is malfunc-tioning because the decreased
temperature leads to a propor-
tional lowering of tire pressure. 
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 tire inflationpressure and adjust the tires tothe recommended tire inflation
pressure.
CAUTION
Low pressure damage 
Significantly low tire pressure 
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased brakingdistances. 
Continued driving on low pres- sure tires can cause the tires to
overheat and fail.

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 illuminate if snow
chains are used or electronic
devices such as computers, charg-
ers, 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 Position telltales 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. 
Once the original tire equipped with 
a tire pressure monitoring sensor isreinflated to the recommended pres-
sure and reinstalled on the vehicle,
the Low Tire Pressure Telltale andTPMS Malfunction Indicator will go
off within a few minutes of driving. 
If the indicators do not extinguish 
after a few minutes, please visit an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.Each wheel is equipped with a tirepressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you always have
your tires serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. 
You may not be able to identify a tire 
with low pressure by simply looking
at it. Always use a good quality tire
pressure gauge to measure. Pleasenote that a tire that is hot (from being
driven) will have a higher pressuremeasurement than a tire that is cold. 
A cold tire means the vehicle has 
been sitting for 3 hours and driven forless than 1.6 km (1 mile) in that 3
hour period. 
Allow the tire to cool before measur- 
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tire is cold before inflating to
the recommended pressure.
NOTICE
Never use a puncture-repairing 
agent not approved by HYUNDAIdealer to repair and/or inflate a
low pressure tire. Tire sealant
not approved by HYUNDAI deal-
er may damage the tire pressure
sensor.

With Tire Mobility Kit (TMK)
For safe operation, carefully read 
and follow the instructions in this
manual before use. Tire Mobility Kit is placed under the 
luggage tray. (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 possible.
Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay 
mobile even after experiencing a tire
puncture. The compressor and sealing com- 
pound system effectively and com-
fortably seals most punctures in a
passenger car tire caused by nails  or
similar objects and reinflates the tire. 
After you ensure that the tire is  prop- 
erly sealed you can drive cautiouslyon the tire (distance up to 200 km
(120 miles)) at a max. speed of (80km/h (50mph)) in order to reach a
service station or tire dealer for thetire replacement.

When two or more tires are flat, do not use the tire mobility kit
because the supported one
sealant of Tire Mobility Kit is
only used for one flat tire.
CAUTION
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  
Have your tire repaired as soon 
as possible. The tire may lose
air pressure at any time after
inflating with the Tire MobilityKit.

What to do in an emergency
It is possible that some tires, espe- cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed
completely. 
Air pressure loss in the tire may 
adversely affect tire performance. 
For this reason, you should avoid 
abrupt steering or other driving
maneuvers, especially if the vehicle is
heavily loaded or if a trailer is in use. 
The Tire Mobility Kit is not designed 
or intended as a permanent tire
repair method and is to be used for
one tire only. 
This instruction shows you step by 
step how to temporarily seal the
puncture simply and reliably. 
Read the section "Notes on the safe 
use of the Tire Mobility Kit".Notes on the safe use of theTire 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 park-
ing brake.
 Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for sealing/inflation passenger car
tires. Only punctured areas locatedwithin the tread region of the tirecan be sealed using the tire mobil-ity kit.
 Do not use on motorcycles, bicy- cles or any other type of tires.
 When the tire and wheel are dam- aged, 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 6 mm (0.24 inch). Please contact the nearest 
HYUNDAI dealership 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 pres-
sure.
 Do not remove any foreign objects such as nails or screws that have
penetrated the tire.
 Provided the car is outdoors, leave the vehicle ON. Otherwise operat-
ing 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 run- ning 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).

7. Plug the compressor power cord(3) into the vehicle power outlet.
8. With the POWER button in the ON position, switch on the compres- 
sor 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
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 tirewhen 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.
Distributing the sealant
11. Immediately drive approximately 7~10 km (4~6 miles or about 10 
minutes) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph). If possible, do not fall
below a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph). 
While driving, if you experience any 
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive
with caution until you can safely pulloff of the side of the road. 
Call for road side service or towing.
When you use the Tire Mobility Kit, the tire pressure sensors and wheel
may be damaged by sealant, have it
inspected at an  authorized dealer.
Do not attempt to drive your 
vehicle if the tire pressure is
below 200 kpa (29 psi). Thiscould result in an accident due
to sudden tire failure.

Checking the tire inflation pressure 
1. After driving approximately 7~10 km(4~6 miles or about 10 minutes), 
stop at a safe location.
2. Connect the filling hose (2) of the compressor directly to the tire
valve.
3. Plug the compressor power cord into the vehicle power outlet. 4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to
the recommended tire inflation.
With the POWER button ON, pro- ceed as follows.
- To increase the inflation pres- sure: 
Switch on the compressor, posi-
tion to "I". To check the current 
inflation pressure setting, briefly
switch off the compressor.
- To reduce the inflation pres- sure: 
Press the button (8) on the com-
pressor.
Information
The pressure gauge may show higher 
than actual reading when the com-
pressor is running. To get an accurate
tire pressure, the compressor needs to
be turned off.
