Refer to the "User Settings
Mode" section in chapter 3.
Tire pressure is displayed after a few minutes of driving after initial
engine start up.
If tire pressure is not displayed when the vehicle is stopped, “Drive
to display” message will appear.
After driving, check the tire pres-
sure. The displayed tire pressure values
may differ from those measured
with a tire pressure gauge.
You can change the tire pressure unit in the User Settings Mode on
the cluster. - psi, kpa, bar (Refer to the "User

What to do in an emergency
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
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 is equipped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) with
LCD display that monitors continu-ously the individual tire pressures ofeach tire and illuminates when one
or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. When the LCD dis-
play indicates that one of your tires is
under-inflated, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible,and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to over-
heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency 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
LCD display.Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicatorthat will illuminate when the system
is not operating properly. The TPMSmalfunction indicator is combined
with the low tire pressure LCD dis-
play. When the system detects a mal-function, the indicator lamp will flash
for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminat-
ed. 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 tire pres-
sure as intended. TPMS malfunc-
tions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
LCD display after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicleto ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function proper-
ly.
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.
WARNING

If any of the below happens, have
the system checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
1. The Low Tire Pressure TPMSMalfunction Indicator does not
illuminate for 3 seconds when
the ignition switch is placed tothe ON position or engine isrunning.
2. The TPMS Malfunction Indicator remains illuminated after blink-
ing for approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low Tire Pressure LCD dis- play remains illuminated
Low tire pressure indicator
Low tire pressure LCD displaywith position indicator
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated and the warning message is
displayed on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. The LCD posi-tion indicator will indicate which tire
is significantly under-inflated by illu-minating the corresponding positionlight. If any of your tire pressures are indi-
cated as being low, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cor-
nering, 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 the spare tire.
The Low Tire Pressure LCD position indicator will remain on and the
TPMS Malfunction Indicator may
blink for one minute and then remain
illuminated until you have the lowpressure tire repaired and replaced
on the vehicle. The spare tire is not equipped with
a tire pressure sensor.

What to do in an emergency
TPMS Malfunction Indicator
The TPMS Malfunction
Indicator will illuminate after it blinks
for approximately one minute when
there is a problem with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System.
Have the system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible. If there is a malfunction with the
TPMS, the individual tire pres-
sures in the cluster LCD display
will not be available. Have the sys-
tem checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
NOTICE
During winter or cold weather,
the TPMS indicator may illumi-nate if the tire pressures wereset when the outside tempera-
ture was warm. As the outside
air becomes colder, the pres-
sure in the tires will decrease.
Similarly, if the outside air
becomes warmer, the pressure
in the tires will increase. As you
drive your vehicle, the tempera-ture of the tires will heat up,
therefore the tire pressures will
increase. Check and adjust your
tire pressures regularly before
driving to make sure your vehi-
cle is operating at the correctpressures as designed.
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.
WARNING

6-13
What to do in an emergency
6
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 orreplace the flat tire with the spare
tire. The spare tire does not come with a
tire pressure monitoring sensor.
When the low pressure tire or the flat
tire is replaced with the spare tire,
the Low Tire Pressure LCD position
indicator will remain on. Also, theTPMS Malfunction Indicator will illu-
minate after blinking for one minute if
the vehicle is driven at speed above
15.5 mph (25 km/h) for approximate-
ly 20 minutes.Once the original tire equipped with
a tire pressure monitoring sensor isreinflated 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 (except for
the spare tire). You must use TPMS
specific wheels. It is recommended
that you always have your tires serv-
iced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
NOTICE
Never use a puncture-repairing
agent not approved by HYUNDAIdealer to repair and/or inflate a
low pressure tire. Tire sealant
not approved by HYUNDAI deal-
er may damage the tire pressure
sensor.
