You may not be able to identify a tyre
with low pressure by simply looking at
it. Always use a good quality tyre pres-
sure gauge to measure. Note that a tyre
that is hot (from being driven) has a
higher pressure measurement than a
tyre that is cold.
A cold tyre means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours and driven for less
than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3 hour peri-
od. Allow the tyre to cool before mea-
suring the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tyre is cold before inflating to
the recommended pressure.
• TPMS performance may reduce in
the following situations when:
- Reset is done incorrectly.
- Original sized tyres are not
installed.
- Driving on rough roads such as
snowy, slippery roads, or unpaved
roads.
- Repeating hard cornering, sudden
acceleration, or sudden braking.
- Driving too slow or too fast.
- The vehicle is overloaded.
- Spare tyre or snow chains are
installed.
Information
i
• The warning light may remain on
even after replaced with a spare tyre.
CAUTION
Replace your vehicle with original
sized tyres.
• Continued driving on low pressure
tyres can cause the tyres to over-
heat and fail. Under-inflation may
cause the vehicle to be unstable
and reduce tyre life and fuel econ-
omy, increase braking distance,
and other tyre failures that result
in loss of vehicle control. We rec-
ommend that your vehicle be
inspected by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer and maintain the
recommended inflation pressure.
• Note that the TPMS is not a substi-
tute for proper tyre maintenance. It
is the driver’s responsibility to main-
tain the appropriate recommended
inflation pressure, and the tyres must
be inspected periodically to maintain
the recommended inflation pressure.
• The Low Tyre Pressure warning light
may illuminate when the TPMS is
not reset when necessary.
• In winter or cold weather, the Low
Tyre Pressure warning light may illu-
minate if the tyre pressure was
adjusted to the recommended tyre
inflation pressure in warm weather.
It does not mean your TPMS is mal-
functioning because the decreased
temperature leads to a proportional
lowering of tyre pressure. Check the
tyre inflation pressure and adjust the
tyres to the recommended tyre infla-
tion pressure.
• The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tyre damage
caused by external factors. If you
notice any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off the
accelerator pedal, apply the brakes
gradually with light force, and
slowly move to a safe position off
the road.
