What to do in an emergency
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)malfunction indicator
The low tire pressure telltale will illu-
minate after it blinks for approximate-
ly one minute when there is a prob-
lem with the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System. If the system is able to cor-
rectly detect an under inflation warn-
ing at the same time as system fail-ure then it will illuminate both the
TPMS malfunction and low tire pres-
sure position telltales e.g. if Front Left
sensor fails, the TPMS malfunction
indicator illuminates, but if the FrontRight, Rear Left, or Rear Right tire is
under-inflated, the low tire pressure
position telltales may illuminatetogether with the TPMS malfunction
indicator.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the
low tire pressure telltale may beilluminated if the tire pressure was adjusted to the recom-mended tire inflation pressurein warm weather. It does not mean your TPMS is malfunction-ing because the decreased tem-perature leads to a proportional lowering of tire pressure.
When you drive your vehiclefrom a warm area to a cold areaor from a cold area to a warmarea, or the outside temperature is greatly higher or lower, youshould check the tire inflationpressure and adjust the tires to the recommended tire inflationpressure.
WARNING - 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.

Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and Position telltales will
come on. We recommend that the
system be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Each wheel is equipped with a tire pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you have your tires
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer. Even if you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and Position telltales will
remain on until the low pressure tire
is repaired and placed on the vehi-
cle.
After you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the TPMS
malfunction indicator may illuminate
after a few minutes because theTPMS sensor is not mounted on thespare wheel.
Once the low pressure tire is reinflat- ed to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or the
new TPMS sensor mounted on the
wheel, the TPMS malfunction indica-
tor and the low tire pressure and
position telltales will extinguish within
a few minutes of driving.
If the indicator is not extinguished
after a few minutes of driving, werecommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.CAUTION
 The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may be illuminated if thevehicle is moving around elec-tric power supply cables orradios transmitter such as at police stations, governmentand public offices, broadcast-ing stations, military installa- tions, airports, or transmittingtowers, etc. This can interferewith normal operation of the Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS).
 The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may be illuminated if snowchains are used or some sep- arate electronic devices suchas notebook computers,mobile charger, remote starter or navigation etc., are used inthe vehicle. This can interferewith normal operation of the Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS).
CAUTION
We recommend that you use thesealant approved by HYUNDAI.The sealant on the tire pressure sensor and wheel shall be elim-inated when you replace the tirewith a new one.

If you have a tire 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 tire pressure. If the cap is
not replaced, air may leak from the
tire. If you lose a valve cap, buyanother and install it as soon as pos-
sible.
After you have changed wheels,
always secure the flat tire in its place
and return the jack and tools to their
proper storage locations. To prevent the jack, jack handle,
wheel lug nut wrench and spare tire
from rattling while the vehicle is in
motion, store them properly.CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads
on the wheel studs and nuts.Make certain during wheel removal that the same nuts thatwere removed are reinstalled -or, if replaced, that nuts with metric threads and the samechamfer configuration are used.Installation of a non-metric thread nut on a metric stud orvice-versa will not secure thewheel to the hub properly andwill damage the stud so that it must be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do nothave metric threads. Be sure touse extreme care in checking for thread style before installingaftermarket lug nuts or wheels.If in doubt, we recommend thatyou consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING - Wheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they
may lose their ability to retain
the wheel. This could lead to theloss of the wheel and a collisionresulting in serious injuries.
WARNING - Inadequate
spare tire pressure
Check the inflation pressures as
soon as possible after installing
the spare tire. Adjust it to the
specified pressure, if necessary.
Refer to “Tires and wheels” insection 8.

What to do in an emergency
IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE (WITH TIRE MOBILITY KIT, 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 we recommend that
the system be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. 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 nailsor 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 200
km (120 miles)) at a max. speed of80 km/h (50 mph) in order to reach a
service station or tire dealer to havethe tire replaced.
OEL069019OEL069018
CAUTION
- One sealant for
one tire
When two or more tires are flat,
do not use the tire mobility kitbecause the supported one sealant 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 loose
air pressure at any time after
inflating with the Tire MobilityKit.

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 the TireMobility 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 in).
If the tire cannot be made roadwor-
thy with the Tire Mobility Kit, we
recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.  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 engine running. Otherwise
operating 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 min. at a time
or it may overheat.
 Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if the ambient temperature is below --30°C (22°F).
WARNING
Do not use the TMK if a tire is
severely damaged by drivingrun flat or with insufficient air
pressure.
Only punctured areas located within the tread region of thetire can be sealed using theTMK.

What to do in an emergency
EMERGENCY COMMODITY (IF EQUIPPED)
There are some emergency commodities
in the vehicle to help you respond to theemergency situation.
Fire extinguisher
If there is small fire and you know how to
use the fire extinguisher, take the follow-
ing steps carefully.
1. Pull the pin at the top of the extin- guisher that keeps the handle from being accidentally pressed.
2. Aim the nozzle toward the base of the fire.
3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft) away from the fire and squeeze the handle
to discharge the extinguisher. If you
release the handle, the discharge will
stop.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at the base of the fire. After the fire appears
to be out, watch it carefully since it
may re-ignite. First aid kit
There are some items such as scissors,
bandage and adhesive tape and etc. in
the kit to give first aid to an injured per-son.
Triangle reflector
Place the triangle reflector on the road to
warn oncoming vehicles during emer-
gencies, such as when the vehicle is
parked by the roadside due to any prob-
lems.
Tire pressure gauge (If equipped)
Tires normally lose some air in day-to-
day use, and you may have to add a few
pounds of air periodically and it is not
usually a sign of a leaking tire, but of nor-
mal wear. Always check tire pressurewhen the tires are cold because tire pres-
sure increases with temperature. To check the tire pressure, take the fol-
lowing steps;
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap that is
located on the rim of the tire.
2. Press and hold the gauge against the tire valve. Some air will escape as you
begin and more will escape if you don't
press the gauge in firmly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will activate the gauge.
4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge to know whether the tire pressure is lowor high.
5. Adjust the tire pressures to the speci- fied pressure. Refer to “Tires and
wheels” in section 8.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.

Maintenance
OWNER MAINTENANCE
The following lists are vehicle checks and
inspections that should be performed atthe frequencies indicated to help ensure
safe, dependable operation of your vehi-
cle. If you have any question, we recom-
mend that you consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
These Owner Maintenance Checks are
generally not covered by warranties and
you may be charged for labor, parts and
lubricants used. Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
 Check the engine oil level.
 Check coolant level in coolant reser-
voir.
 Check the windshield washer fluid level.
 Look for low or under-inflated tires.
While operating your vehicle:
 Note any changes in the sound of the exhaust or any smell of exhaust fumes
in the vehicle.
 Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steering
effort or looseness in the steering
wheel, or change in its straight-aheadposition.
 Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side when trav-
eling 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 oper- ation of your transaxle occurs, check
the transaxle fluid level.
 Check manual transaxle operation, including clutch operation.
 Check automatic transaxle P (Park) function.
 Check parking brake.
 Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air condition-
ing system during or after use is nor-mal).
WARNING
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. Scalding hot coolant
and steam may blow out under
pressure. This could cause burns
or other serious injury.
