What to do in an emergency
If any of the below happens, we rec- ommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
1. The low tire pressure telltale/TPMS malfunction indicator
does not illuminate for 3 sec-
onds when the ignition switchis turned to the ON position orthe engine is running.
2. The TPMS malfunction indicator remains illuminated after blink-
ing for approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low tire pressure position telltale remains illuminated.
Low tire pressure telltale
Low tire pressure position telltaleand tire pressuretelltale
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated and a warning message dis-
played on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. The low tirepressure position telltale light willindicate which tire is significantly
under-inflated by illuminating the cor-responding 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 tires as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tires to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tire inflation pressure
label located on the driver's side cen-
ter pillar outer panel. If you cannot
reach a service station or if the tire
cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tire with a
spare tire.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 25 km/h
after replacing the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the below willhappen:
The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illumi-
nated because the TPMS sensor isnot mounted on the spare wheel.

The spare tire is not equipped with
a tire pressure sensor.
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.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer. If there is a malfunction with the
TPMS, the low tire pressure posi-
tion telltale will not be displayed
even though the vehicle has an
under-inflated tire.
NOTICE
NOTICE
In winter or cold weather, the
low tire pressure telltale mayilluminate if the tire pressurewas 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 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 higher or lower, you should
check the tire inflation pressureand adjust the tires to the rec-ommended tire inflation pres-
sure.
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.

What to do in an emergency
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.If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 25 km/h
after replacing the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the below willhappen:
The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illumi-
nated because the TPMS sensor isnot mounted on the spare wheel.
You may not be able identify a tire
with low pressure by simply looking
at it. Always use a good quality tirepressure gauge to measure the tire's
inflation pressure. Please note that a
tire that is hot (from being driven) will
have a higher pressure measure-ment than a tire that is cold (from sit-
ting stationary for at least 3 hour and
driven less than 1.6 km (1 mile) dur-
ing 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.
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.
The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may blink for approximate-
ly 1 minute and then remain
continuously illuminated if
the vehicle is moving around
electric power supply cables
or radios transmitter such as
at police stations, government
and public offices, broadcast-
ing stations, military installa-
tions, airports, or transmitting
towers, etc. This can interferewith normal operation of theTire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS).
The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may blink for approximate-
ly
1 minute and then remain
continuously illuminated if
snow chains are used or
some separate electronic
devices such as notebook
computer, mobile charger,
remote starter or navigation
etc., are used in the vehicle.
This can interfere with normal
operation of the Tire PressureMonitoring System (TPMS).
CAUTION
NEVER use a puncture-repair-
ing agent to repair and/or inflate
a low pressure tire. The tire
sealant can damage the tire
pressure sensor. If used, you
will have to replace the tire
pressure sensor.

Notes on the safe use of the Tire Mobility Kit
Park your car at the side of theroad 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).
In case of skin contact with the sealant, wash the area thoroughly
with plenty of water. If the irritation
persists, seek medical attention.
In case of eye contact with the sealant, flush your eyes for at least
15 minutes. If the irritation persists,seek medical attention.
In case of swallowing the sealant, rinse the mouth and drink plenty of
water. However, never give any-thing to an unconscious personand seek medical attention imme-
diately.
Long time exposure to the sealant may cause damage to bodily tissue
such as kidney, etc.
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.

5. Insert the sealant bottle into thehousing of the compressor (4) so
that the bottle is upright.
6. Ensure that the compressor is switched off, position 0. 7. Plug the compressor power cord
(3) into the vehicle power outlet.
Only use the front passenger side
power outlet when connecting the
power cord. 8. With the ignition switch 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). Theinflation 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.
