Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem

Each tire, including the spare (if pro-vided), should be checked monthlywhen cold and inflated to the inflationpressure recommended by the vehi-cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-ard or tire inflation pressure label. (Ifyour vehicle has tires of a differentsize than the size indicated on thevehicle placard or tire inflation pres-sure label, you should determine theproper tire inflation pressure forthose tires.)

As an added safety feature, yourvehicle has been equipped with a tirepressure monitoring system (TPMS)that illuminates a low tire pressuretelltale when one or more of yourtires is significantly under-inflated.Accordingly, when the low tire pres-sure telltale illuminates, you shouldstop and check your tires as soon aspossible, and inflate them to theproper pressure. Driving on a signifi-cantly under-inflated tire causes thetire to overheat and can lead to tirefailure.Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-ciency and tire tread life, and mayaffect the vehicle’s handling andstopping ability.Please note that the TPMS is not asubstitute for proper tire mainte-nance, and it is the driver's responsi-bility to maintain correct tire pres-sure, even if under-inflation has notreached the level to trigger illumina-tion of the TPMS low tire pressuretelltale.

Your vehicle has also been equippedwith a TPMS malfunction indicator toindicate when the system is notoperating properly. The TPMS mal-function indicator is combined withthe 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 sequencewill continue upon subsequent vehi-cle start-ups as long as the malfunc-tion exists.When the malfunction indicator isilluminated, the system may not beable to detect or signal low tire pres-sure as intended. TPMS malfunc-tions may occur for a variety of rea-sons, including the installation ofreplacement or alternate tires orwheels on the vehicle that preventthe TPMS from functioning properly.Always check the TPMS malfunctiontelltale after replacing one or moretires or wheels on your vehicle toensure that the replacement or alter-nate tires and wheels allow the TPMSto continue to function properly.

Over-inflation or under-inflationcan reduce tire life, adverselyaffect vehicle handling, andlead to sudden tire failure thatmay cause loss of vehicle con-trol resulting in an accident.

WARNING

If any of the below happens, havethe system checked by an author-ized HYUNDAI dealer.1.The Low Tire Pressure TPMS

Malfunction Indicator does notilluminate for 3 seconds whenthe ignition switch is placed tothe ON position or engine is run-ning.

2.The TPMS Malfunction Indicatorremains illuminated after blink-ing for approximately 1 minute.

When the tire pressure monitoringsystem warning indicators are illumi-nated and the warning message isdisplayed on the cluster LCD display,one or more of your tires is signifi-cantly under-inflated. The LCD posi-tion indicator will indicate which tireis significantly under-inflated by illu-minating the corresponding positionlight.

If any of your tire pressures are indi-cated as being low, immediatelyreduce your speed, avoid hard cor-nering, and anticipate increasedstopping distances. You should stopand check your tires as soon as pos-sible. Inflate the tires to the properpressure as indicated on the vehi-cle’s placard or tire inflation pressurelabel located on the driver's side cen-ter pillar outer panel.If you cannot reach a service stationor if the tire cannot hold the newlyadded air, replace the low pressuretire with the spare tire.The Low Tire Pressure LCD positionindicator will remain on and theTPMS Malfunction Indicator mayblink for one minute and then remainilluminated until you have the lowpressure tire repaired and replacedon the vehicle.

TPMS MalfunctionIndicator

The TPMS Malfunction Indicator willilluminate after it blinks for approxi-mately one minute when there is aproblem with the Tire PressureMonitoring System.Have the system checked by anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer as soonas possible.

If there is a malfunction with theTPMS, the individual tire pres-sures in the cluster LCD displaywill not be available. Have the sys-tem checked by an authorizedHYUNDAI dealer as soon as possi-ble.

NOTICE

In winter or cold weather, theLow Tire Pressure Telltale maybe illuminated if the tire pres-sure was adjusted to the recom-mended tire inflation pressurein warm weather. It does notmean your TPMS is malfunc-tioning because the decreasedtemperature leads to a propor-tional lowering of tire pressure.When you drive your vehiclefrom a warm area to a cold areaor from a cold area to a warmarea, or the outside temperatureis greatly higher or lower, youshould check the tire inflationpressure and adjust the tires tothe recommended tire inflationpressure.

CAUTION

Low pressure damage

Significantly low tire pressuremakes the vehicle unstable andcan contribute to loss of vehiclecontrol and increased brakingdistances.Continued driving on low pres-sure tires can cause the tires tooverheat and fail.

WARNING

6-12


The TPMS Malfunction Indicatormay illuminate after blinking forone minute if the vehicle is nearelectric power supply cables orradio transmitters such as policestations, government and publicoffices, broadcasting stations,military installations, airports,transmitting towers, etc.Additionally, the TPMS MalfunctionIndicator may illuminate if snowchains are used or electronicdevices such as computers, charg-ers, remote starters, navigation,etc. This may interfere with normaloperation of the TPMS.

Changing a Tire with TPMSIf you have a flat tire, the Low TirePressure and LCD position indicatorwill come on. Have the flat tirerepaired by an authorized HYUNDAIdealer as soon as possible orreplace the flat tire with the sparetire.

The spare tire does not come with atire pressure monitoring sensor.When the low pressure tire or the flattire is replaced with the spare tire,the Low Tire Pressure LCD positionindicator will remain on. Also, theTPMS Malfunction Indicator will illu-minate after blinking for one minute ifthe vehicle is driven at speed above25 km/h (15.5 mph) for approximate-ly 20 minutes.

Once the original tire equipped witha tire pressure monitoring sensor isreinflated to the recommended pres-sure and reinstalled on the vehicle,the Low Tire Pressure LCD positionindicator and TPMS MalfunctionIndicator will go off within a few min-utes of driving.If the indicators do not disappearafter a few minutes, please visit anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer.Each wheel is equipped with a tirepressure sensor mounted inside thetire behind the valve stem (except forthe spare tire). You must use TPMSspecific wheels. It is recommendedthat you always have your tires serv-iced by an authorized HYUNDAIdealer.

NOTICE

Never use a puncture-repairingagent not approved by HYUNDAIdealer to repair and/or inflate alow pressure tire. Tire sealantnot approved by HYUNDAI deal-er may damage the tire pressuresensor.

You may not be able identify a tirewith low pressure by simply lookingat it. Always use a good quality tirepressure gauge to measure the tire'sinflation pressure. Please note that atire that is hot (from being driven) willhave a higher pressure measure-ment than a tire that is cold.A cold tire means the vehicle hasbeen sitting for 3 hours and driven forless than 1.6 km (1 mile) in that 3hour period.Allow the tire to cool before measur-ing the inflation pressure. Always besure the tire is cold before inflating tothe recommended pressure.

[A] : Dollies

If emergency towing is necessary,we recommend having it done by anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer or acommercial tow-truck service.Proper lifting and towing proceduresare necessary to prevent damage tothe vehicle. The use of wheel dolliesor flatbed is recommended.

On 2WD vehicles, it is acceptable totow the vehicle with the rear wheelson the ground (without dollies) andthe front wheels off the ground. If anyof the loaded wheels or suspensioncomponents are damaged or thevehicle is being towed with the frontwheels on the ground, use a towingdolly under the front wheels.When being towed by a commercialtow truck and wheel dollies are notused, the front of the vehicle shouldalways be lifted, not the rear.If your vehicle is an AWD vehicle, itmust be towed with a wheel lift anddollies or flatbed equipment with allthe wheels off the ground.

An AWD vehicle should never betowed with the wheels on theground. This can cause seriousdamage to the transaxle or theAWD system.

• Do not tow the vehicle with thefront wheels on the ground asthis may cause damage to thevehicle.

• Do not tow with sling-typeequipment. Use a wheel lift orflatbed equipment.

Emergency Towing

If towing is necessary, we recom-mend you have it done by an author-ized HYUNDAI dealer or a commer-cial tow truck service.

If towing service is not available in anemergency, your vehicle may betemporarily towed using a cable orchain secured to the emergency tow-ing hook at the front (or rear) of thevehicle.Use extreme caution when towingthe vehicle with a cable or chain. Adriver must be in the vehicle to steerit and operate the brakes.Towing in this manner may be doneonly on hard-surfaced roads for ashort distance and at low speeds.Also, the wheels, axles, power train,steering and brakes must all be ingood condition.

Always follow these emergency tow-ing precautions:• While depressing the brake pedal

shift to the N (Neutral) position andturn the vehicle off. The POWERbutton will be in the ACC position.

• Release the parking brake.• Depress the brake pedal with more

force than normal since you willhave reduced braking perform-ance.

• More steering effort will berequired because the power steer-ing system will be disabled.

• Use a vehicle heavier than yourown to tow your vehicle.

• The drivers of both vehicles shouldcommunicate with each other fre-quently.

• Before emergency towing, checkthat the hook is not broken or dam-aged.

• Fasten the towing cable or chainsecurely to the hook.

• Do not jerk the hook. Apply steadyand even force.

• Use a towing cable or chain lessthan 5 m (16 feet) long. Attach awhite or red cloth (about 30 cm (12inch) wide) in the middle of thecable or chain for easy visibility.

• Drive carefully so the towing cableor chain remains tight during tow-ing.

• Before towing, check the reductiongear for fluid leaks under your vehi-cle. If the reduction gear is leaking,flatbed equipment or a towing dollymust be used.

Accelerate or decelerate the vehi-cle in a slow and gradual mannerwhile maintaining tension on thetow rope or chain to start or drivethe vehicle, otherwise tow hooksand the vehicle may be damaged.

To avoid damage to your vehicleand vehicle components whentowing:• Always pull straight ahead when

using the towing hooks. Do notpull from the side or at a verticalangle.
