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 LCD position indicator
will come on. Have the flat tire
repaired by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.Once the original tire equipped with
a tire pressure monitoring sensor is
reinflated to the recommended pres-
sure and reinstalled on the vehicle,
the Low Tire Pressure LCD position
indicator and TPMS Malfunction
Indicator will go off within a few min-
utes of driving.
If the indicators do not disappear
after a few minutes, please visit 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 always have
your tires serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
Never use a puncture-repairing
agent not approved by a
HYUNDAI dealer to repair and/or
inflate a low pressure tire. Tire
sealant not approved by a
HYUNDAI dealer may damage
the tire pressure sensor.
CAUTION

6-12
What to do in an emergency
A cold tire 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 tire to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tire is cold before inflating to
the recommended pressure.
Information
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following
three conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
2. This device must accept any inter-
ference received, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired
operation.
3. Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
i
The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tire dam-
age caused by external fac-
tors such as nails or road
debris.
If you feel any vehicle instabil-
ity, immediately take your foot
off the accelerator, apply the
brakes gradually with light
force, and slowly move to a
safe position off the road.
WARNING
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may interfere with
the system's ability to warn the
driver of low tire pressure con-
ditions and/or TPMS malfunc-
tions. Tampering with, modify-
ing, or disabling the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) components may void
the warranty for that portion of
the vehicle.
WARNING

6-13
What to do in an emergency

For safe operation, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this
manual before use.
(1) Compressor
(2) Sealant bottle
The Tire Mobility Kit is placed under
the luggage tray. 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 cautiously
on the tire (distance up to 120 miles
(200 km)) at a max. speed of (50
mph (80 km/h)) in order to reach a
service station or tire dealer for the
tire replacement.
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.

One sealant bottle for one tire
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
Tire side wall
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit
to repair punctures in the tire
side walls. This can result in an
accident due to tire failure.
WARNING
Temporary fix
Have your tire repaired as soon
as possible. The tire may lose
air pressure at any time after
inflating with the Tire Mobility
Kit.

Securely install the sealant filling
hose to the valve. If not, sealant
may flow backward, possibly clog-
ging the filling hose.
5. Plug the compressor power cord
(4) into the vehicle power outlet.
6. With the vehicle ON ( indica-
tor ON), switch on the compressor
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 tire
when filling it.7. Switch off the compressor.
8. 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.
NOTICE
OOSEV068008
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tire pressure is
below 29 psi (200 kpa). This
could result in an accident due
to sudden tire failure.
CAUTION

What to do in an emergency
Distributing the sealant
9. Immediately drive approximately
4~6 miles (7~10 km or about 10
minutes) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h). If possible, do not fall
below a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).
While driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive
with caution until you can safely pull
off of the side of the road.
Checking the Tire Inflation
Pressure
1. After driving approximately 4~6
miles (7~10 km or about
10 minutes), stop at a safe loca-
tion.
2. Connect the filling hose (3) direct-
ly into the compressor.3. Connect the other end of the filling
hose (3) directly into the tire valve.
4. Plug the compressor power cord
(4) into the vehicle power outlet.

5. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to
the recommended tire inflation.
With the vehicle ON ( indica-
tor ON), proceed as follows.
- To increase the inflation pres-
sure :Switch on the compressor.
To check the current inflation
pressure setting, briefly switch off
the compressor.
- To reduce the inflation pres-
sure:Press the button (9) on the
compressor.
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.
Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes, otherwise
the device will overheat and may
be damaged.
Information
When reinstalling the repaired or
replaced tire and wheel on the vehicle,
tighten the wheel lug nut to 79~94
lbf·ft (11~13kgf·m).
i
NOTICE
i
When you use the Tire Mobility Kit
including sealant not approved by
HYUNDAI, the tire pressure sen-
sors may be damaged by sealant.
The sealant on the tire pressure
sensor and wheel should be
removed when you replace the
tire with a new one and inspect
the tire pressure sensors at an
authorized dealer.
CAUTION
The tire inflation pressure must
be at least 32 psi (220 kPa). If it
is not, do not continue driving.
Call for road side service or

Maintenance
While operating your vehicle:
Check for vibrations in the steering
wheel. Notice if there is any
increased steering effort or loose-
ness in the steering wheel, or
change in its straight-ahead posi-
tion.
Notice if your vehicle constantly
turns slightly or "pulls" to one side
when traveling on smooth, level
road.
When decelerating with your vehi-
cle, listen and check for unusual
sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or
"hard-to-push" brake pedal.
After driving your vehicle on a
regular basis check the follow-
ing:
Verify that the electronic parking
brake is engaging properly.
After you exit the vehicle check for
any signs of fluid leaks under your
vehicle (note that water dripping
from the air conditioning system is
normal).
At least monthly:
Check coolant level in the coolant
reservoir.
Check the operation of all exterior
lights, including the brake lights,
turn signals and hazard warning
flashers.

four tires and check to see the tire
tread condition and if there are any
signs of abnormal wear or dam-
age.
Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
At least twice a year:
Check radiator, heater and air con-
ditioning hoses for leaks or dam-
age.
Check windshield washer spray
and wiper operation. Clean wiper
blades with clean cloth dampened
with washer fluid.
