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 vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tyre pressure as intend-
ed. 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 replacement or alternate tyres
and wheels allow the TPMS to con-
tinue to function properly. If the TPMS indicator does not illu-
minate for 3 seconds when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
position or engine is running, or if
it comes on after blinking for
approximately one minute, we rec-
ommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Low tyre pressure telltale
When the tyre pressure
monitoring system warn-
ing indicator is illuminated
and warning message
displayed on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tyres is signifi-
cantly under-inflated.
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
centre pillar outer panel. If you can-
not reach a service station or if the
tyre cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tyre with
the spare tyre.
Then the Low Tyre Pressure telltale
may flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated after restarting and about
10 minutes of continuous driving
before you have the low pressure
tyre repaired and replaced on the
vehicle.

What to do in an emergency
Changing a tyre with TPMS
If you have a flat tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure will come on. We recom-
mend that the flat tyre be checked by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Each wheel is equipped with a tyre
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tyre behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you have your tyres
serviced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Even if you replace the low pressure
tyre with the spare tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure Telltale will blink or remain
on until the low pressure tyre is
repaired and placed on the vehicle.After you replace the low pressure
tyre with the spare tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure Telltale may blink or illumi-
nate after a few minutes because the
TPMS sensor mounted on the spare
wheel is not initiated.
Once the low pressure tyre is rein-
flated to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or we
recommend that the TPMS sensor
mounted on the replaced spare
wheel be initiated by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer, the TPMS mal-
function indicator and the low tyre
pressure telltale will extinguish within
a few minutes of driving.
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.
You may not be able to identify a low
tyre by simply looking at it. Always
use a good quality tyre pressure
gauge to measure the tyre's inflation
pressure. Please note that a tyre that
is hot (from being driven) will have a
higher pressure measurement than a
tyre that is cold.
A cold tyre means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven for
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3
hour period.
Allow the tyre to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tyre is cold before inflating
to the recommended pressure.
We recommend that you use the
sealant approved by HYUNDAI.
The sealant on the tyre pres-
sure sensor and wheel shall be
eleminated when you replace
the tyre with a new one.
CAUTION
If original mounted tyre is
replaced with the spare tyre, the
TPMS sensor on the replaced
spare wheel should be initiated
and we recommend that the
TPMS sensor on the original
mounted wheel be deactivated
by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
If the TPMS sensor on the origi-
nal mounted wheel located in
the spare tyre carrier still acti-
vates, the tyre pressure moni-
toring system may not operate
properly. We recommend that
the system be serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

Tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem
Each 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 pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tyres as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-
nificantly 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 han-
dling 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.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.
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.
WARNING

What to do in an emergency
If any of the below happens, we
recommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
1. The low tyre pressure telltale/ TPMS malfunction indicator
does not illuminate for 3 sec-
onds when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position or
the engine is running.
2. The TPMS malfunction indicator remains illuminated after blink-
ing for approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low tyre pressure position telltale remains illuminated.

When the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated and a warning message dis-
played on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tyres is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. The low tyre
pressure position telltale will indicate
which tyre is significantly under-
inflated by illuminating the corre-
sponding position light. If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tyres as soon as pos-
sible. 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
centre pillar outer panel. If you can-
not reach a service station or if the
tyre cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tyre with a
spare tyre.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 15.5 mph
(25 km/h) after replacing the low
pressure tyre with the spare tyre, the
below will happen:
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illumi-
nated because the TPMS sensor is
not mounted on the spare wheel.

cautions:
•Do not get under a vehicle
that is supported by a jack.
•NEVER attempt to change a
tyre in the lane of traffic.
ALWAYS move the vehicle
completely off the road on
level, firm ground away from
traffic before trying to change
a tyre. If you cannot find a
level, firm place off the road,
call a towing service for assis-
tance.
•Be sure to use the jack pro-
vided with the vehicle.
•ALWAYS place the jack on the
designated jacking positions
on the vehicle and NEVER on
the bumpers or any other part
of the vehicle for jacking sup-
port.

What to do in an emergency
If you have a tyre gauge, check the
tyre pressure (see "Tyres and
Wheels" in chapter 8 for tyre pres-
sure instructions.). If the pressure is
lower or higher than recommended,
drive slowly to the nearest service
station and adjust it to the recom-
mended pressure. 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 changing tyres, put the
flat tyre in its place and return the
jack and tools to their proper storage
locations.
• Check the tyre pressure as soon as possible after installing a
spare tyre. Adjust it to the rec-
ommended pressure.
• Check and tighten the wheel lug nuts after driving over 30 mph
(50 km) if tyres are replaced. Re-
check the tyre wheel lug nuts
after driving over 620 mph (1,000
km). If any of the equipment such as the
jack, lug nuts, studs, or other equip-
ment is damaged or in poor condi-
tion, do not attempt to change the
tyre and call for assistance.
Use of compact spare tyres
(if equipped)
Compact spare tyres are designed
for emergency use only. Drive care-
fully on the compact spare tyre and
always follow the safety precautions.
NOTICE
Your vehicle has metric threads
on the studs and lug nuts. Make
certain during tyre changing
that the same nuts that were
removed are reinstalled. If you
have to replace your lug nuts
make sure they have metric
threads to avoid damaging the
studs and ensure the wheel is
properly secured to the hub. We
recommend that you consult a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer
for assistance.
CAUTION
To prevent compact spare tyre
failure and loss of control pos-
sibly resulting in an accident:
•Use the compact spare tyre
only in an emergency.
•NEVER operate your vehicle
over 50 mph (80 km/h).
•Do not exceed the vehicle’s
maximum load rating or the
load carrying capacity shown
on the sidewall of the com-
pact spare tyre.
•Do not use the compact spare
tyre continuously. Repair or
replace the original tyre as
soon as possible to avoid fail-
ure of the compact spare tyre.
WARNING

6-25
What to do in an emergency
6
When driving with the compact spare
tyre mounted to your vehicle:
• Check the tyre pressure afterinstalling the compact spare tyre.
The compact spare tyre should be
inflated to 420 kPa (60 psi).
• Do not take this vehicle through an automatic car wash whilst the com-
pact spare tyre is installed.
• Do not use the compact spare tyre on any other vehicle because this
tyre has been designed especially
for your vehicle.
• The compact spare tyre’s tread life is shorter than a regular tyre.
Inspect your compact spare tyre
regularly and replace worn compact
spare tyres with the same size and
design, mounted on the same
wheel.
• Do not use more than one compact spare tyre at a time.
• Do not tow a trailer whilst the com- pact spare tyre is installed. When the original tyre and wheel
are repaired and reinstalled on the
vehicle, the lug nut torque must be
set correctly. The correct lug nut
tightening torque is 11~13 kgf·m
(79~94 lbf·ft).NOTICE
To prevent damaging the com-
pact spare tyre and your vehi-
cle:
•Drive slowly enough for the
road conditions to avoid all
hazards, such as a potholes
or debris.
•Avoid driving over obstacles.
The compact spare tyre diam-
eter is smaller than the diame-
ter of a conventional tyre and
reduces the ground clearance
approximately 25 mm (1 inch).
•Do not use tyre chains on the
compact spare tyre. Because
of the smaller size, a tyre
chain will not fit properly.
•Do not use the compact spare
tyre on any other wheels, nor
should standard tyres, snow
tyres, wheel covers or trim
rings be used with the com-
pact spare wheel.
CAUTION
