What to do in an emergency
The spare tyre is not equipped
with a tyre pressure sensor.
TPMS (Tyre 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 Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
If there is a malfunction with the
TPMS, the low tyre pressure posi-
tion telltale will not be displayed
even though the vehicle has an
under-inflated tyre.
NOTICE
NOTICE
6
In winter or cold weather, the
low tyre pressure telltale may
illuminate if the tyre pressure
was adjusted to the recom-
mended tyre inflation pressure
in warm weather. It does not
mean your TPMS is malfunc-
tioning because the decreased
temperature leads to a lowering
of tyre 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 tyre inflation pres-
sure and adjust the tyres to the
recommended tyre inflation
pressure.
CAUTION
Low pressure damage
Significantly low tyre pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased braking
distances.
Continued driving on low pres-
sure tyres can cause the tyres
to overheat and fail.
WARNING

6-14
Changing a tyre with TPMS
If you have a flat tyre, the low Tyre
pressure and position telltales will
come on. We recommend that the
system be checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
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 an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 25 km/h
after replacing the low pressure tyre
with the spare tyre, the following will
happen:
The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated because the
TPMS sensor is not mounted on
the spare wheel.
What to do in an emergency
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 transmitters such as
at police stations, government
and public offices, broadcast-
ing stations, military installa-
tions, airports, or transmitting
towers, etc. This can interfere
with normal operation of the
Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System (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 a notebook
computer, mobile chargers,
remote starter or navigation
etc., are used in the vehicle.
This can interfere with normal
operation of the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
CAUTION
NEVER use a puncture-repair-
ing agent to repair and/or inflate
a low pressure tyre. The tyre
sealant can damage the tyre
pressure sensor. If used, you
will have to replace the tyre
pressure sensor.
CAUTION

6-15
What to do in an emergency
You may not be able identify a low
tyre by simply looking at it. Always
use a good quality tyre pressure
gauge to measure a 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.
Allow the tyre to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tyre is cold before inflating
to the recommended pressure.
A cold tyre means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven for
less than 1.6 km in that 3 hour peri-
od.

TPMS
The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tyre 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 and with
light force, and slowly move to
a safe position off the road.
WARNING
Protecting TPMS
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may interfere with
the system's ability to warn the
driver of low tyre pressure con-
ditions and/or TPMS malfunc-
tions. Tampering with, modify-
ing, or disabling the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) components may void
the warranty for that portion of
the vehicle.

If it is hard to loosen the tyre hold-
down wing bolt by hand, you can
loosen it easily using the jack handle.
1. Put the jack handle (1) inside of
the tyre hold-down wing bolt.
2. Turn the tyre hold-down wing bolt
anticlockwise with the jack handle.
Changing tyres
Never attempt vehicle repairs
in the traffic lanes of a public
road or highway.
Always move the vehicle com-
pletely off the road and onto
the shoulder before trying to
change a tyre. The jack should
be used on firm level ground.
If you cannot find a firm level
place off the road, call a tow-
ing service company for
assistance.
Be sure to use the correct
front and rear jacking posi-
tions on the vehicle; never
use the bumpers or any other
part of the vehicle for jacking
support.
The vehicle can easily roll off
the jack causing serious
injury or death.
WARNING
Do not get under a vehicle
that is supported by a jack.
No person should place any
portion of their body under a
vehicle that is supported by a
jack.
Chock the wheel diagonally
opposite the flat tyre.
Do not start or run the engine
whilst the vehicle is on the
jack.
Do not allow anyone to remain
in the vehicle whilst it is on
the jack.
Make sure any children pres-
ent are in a secure place away
from the road and from the
vehicle to be raised with the
jack.

13. Use the wheel nut wrench to
tighten the wheel nuts in the
order shown. Double-check each
wheel nut until they are tight.
After changing tyres, we recom-
mend that an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer tighten the
wheel nuts to their proper torque
as soon as possible.The wheel
nut should be tightened to
11~13 kgf.m (79~94 lbf.ft).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, secure
the flat tyre and return the jack and
tools to their proper storage loca-
tions.
Check the tyre pressure as soon
as possible after installing a spare
tyre. Adjust it to the recommend-
ed pressure.If any of the equipment such as the
jack, wheel nuts, studs, or other
equipment is damaged or in poor
condition, do not attempt to change
the tyre and call for assistance.
NOTICE
OTL065007
Your vehicle has metric threads
on the studs and wheel nuts.
Make certain during tyre chang-
ing that the same nuts that were
removed are reinstalled. If you
have to replace your wheel 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 an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer 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.When driving with the compact spare
tyre mounted to your vehicle:
Check the tyre pressure after
installing 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 com-
pact 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. To prevent compact spare tyre
failure and loss of control pos-
sibly resulting in an accident:
Only use the compact spare
tyre in an emergency.
NEVER operate your vehicle
over 80 km/h (50 mph).
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

6-22
What to do in an emergency
When the original tyre and wheel
are repaired and reinstalled on the
vehicle, the wheel nut torque must
be set correctly. The correct wheel
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.
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 tyre.
