6. If you cannot find the cause of theoverheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has beenlost, carefully add coolant to the
reservoir to bring the fluid level in
the reservoir up to the halfway
mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again,
we recommend that you call an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance. (1) Low tire pressure telltale /
TPMS malfunction indicator
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthlywhen cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-
ard or tire inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-
sure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.) As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of yourtires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pres-
sure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-cantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and
may affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-bility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Serious loss of coolant indi- cates a leak in the coolingsystem and we recommend
the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
When the engine overheats
from low engine coolant, sud-
denly adding engine coolant
may cause cracks in the
engine. To prevent damage,
add engine coolant slowly insmall quantities.

What to do in an emergency
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator toindicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal-function indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. Whenthe 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 themalfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intend-
ed. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including theinstallation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from function-
ing properly. Always check theTPMS malfunction telltale afterreplacing one or more tires or wheels
on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue
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 an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.Low tire pressure telltale
When the tire pressure
monitoring system warn-ing indicator is illuminated
and warning message
displayed on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tires 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 tires as soon as possible.Inflate the tires to the proper pres-
sure as indicated on the vehicle'splacard or tire inflation pressure label
located on the driver's side center
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 the spare tire.
Then the Low Tire 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 tire
repaired and replaced on the vehicle.

What to do in an emergency
Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure will come on. We recom-
mend that the flat tire 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 Telltale will blink or remain
on until the low pressure tire is
repaired and placed on the vehicle.After you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the Low Tire
Pressure Telltale may blink or illumi-
nate after a few minutes because theTPMS sensor mounted on the sparewheel is not initiated.
Once the low pressure tire is reinflat- ed to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or we
recommend that the TPMS sensormounted on the replaced spare
wheel be initiated by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer, the TPMS mal-
function indicator and the low tire
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 an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
You may not be able to identify a low
tire by simply looking at it. Alwaysuse a good quality tire pressuregauge to measure the tire's inflation
pressure. Please note that a tire that
is hot (from being driven) will have ahigher pressure measurement than atire that is cold.
A cold tire means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven forless than 1 mile (1.6 km) 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.
We recommend that you use the
sealant approved by HYUNDAI. The sealant on the tire pressure sensor and wheel shall be elem-
inated when you replace the tire
with a new one.
CAUTION
If original mounted tire is
replaced with the spare tire, theTPMS sensor on the replacedspare wheel should be initiatedand we recommend that theTPMS sensor on the original
mounted wheel be deactivated
by a HYUNDAI dealer.
If the TPMS sensor on the origi- nal mounted wheel located inthe spare tire carrier still acti-
vates, the tire pressure monitor-
ing system may not operate
properly. We recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Tire pressure monitoring sys- tem
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthlywhen cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-
ard or tire inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tires of a different

proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-cantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and
may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-bility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.Your vehicle has also been equipped

tinuously illuminated. This sequence
will continue upon subsequent vehi-
cle start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunctionindicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including theinstallation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from function-
ing properly. Always check the TPMSmalfunction telltale after replacing
one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replace-
ment or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to func-
tion properly.
Over-inflation or under-inflation
can reduce tire life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tire failure that
may cause loss of vehicle con-
trol resulting in an accident.

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.

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.

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.

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.

counterclockwise with the wheel nutwrench.
Changing tires
Follow these steps to change your
vehicle's tire:
1. Park on a level, firm surface.
2. Move the shift lever into P (Park,for dual clutch transmission vehi-
cle) or neutral (for manual trans-
mission vehicle), apply the park-
ing brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF position.
3. Press the hazard warning flasher button.
4. Remove the wheel lug nut wrench, jack, jack handle, and spare tire
from the vehicle.
A vehicle can slip or roll off of a
jack causing serious injury or
death to you or those nearby.
Take the following safety pre-cautions:
Do not get under a vehicle
that is supported by a jack.
NEVER attempt to change a tire 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 tire. 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.
WARNING
Do not start or run the engine
while the vehicle is on the
jack.
Do not allow anyone to remain
in the vehicle while it is on the
jack.
