Low tire pressure telltale /

Each tire, including the spare (if pro-

vided), should be checked monthly

when 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.)

malfunctions may occur for a variety

of reasons, 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

telltale after replacing one or more

tires or wheels on your vehicle to

ensure that the replacement or alter-

nate tires and wheels allow the

TPMS to continue to function proper-

ly.

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

telltale.

In winter or cold weather, the

low tire pressure telltale may be

illuminated if the tire pressure

was adjusted to the recom-

mended tire inflation pressure

in warm weather. It does not

mean your TPMS is malfunc-

tioning because the decreased

temperature leads to a propor-

tional lowering of tire 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 greatly higher or lower, you

should check the tire inflation

pressure and adjust the tires to

the recommended tire inflation

pressure.

WARNING

CAUTION

Low pressure damage

• The TPMS malfunction indica-

tor may be illuminated if the

vehicle is moving around

electric power supply cables

or radios transmitter 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

Tire Pressure Monitoring

System (TPMS).

Significantly low tire pressure

makes the vehicle unstable and

can contribute to loss of vehicle

control and increased braking

distances.

The TPMS malfunction indicator will

illuminate after it blinks for approxi-

mately one minute when there is a

problem with the Tire Pressure

Monitoring System. If the system is

able to correctly detect an under infla-

tion warning at the same time as sys-

tem failure then it will illuminate the

TPMS malfunction indicator.

Continued driving on low pres-

sure tires can cause the tires to

overheat and fail.

We recommend that the system be

checked by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

• The TPMS malfunction indica-

tor may illuminate if snow

chains or some separately

purchased devices such as

notebook computers, mobile

charger, remote starter, navi-

gation etc. are used in the

serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

CAUTION

Even if you replace the low pressure

tire with the spare tire, the Low Tire

Pressure Telltale will blink or remain

on until the low pressure tire is

repaired and placed on the vehicle.

If original mounted tire is

replaced with the spare tire, the

TPMS sensor on the replaced

spare wheel should be initiated

and we recommend that the

TPMS sensor on the original

mounted wheel be deactivated

by a HYUNDAI dealer. If the

TPMS sensor on the original

mounted wheel located in the

spare tire carrier still activates,

the tire pressure monitoring

system may not operate proper-

ly. We recommend that the sys-

tem be serviced by an author-

ized HYUNDAI dealer.

We recommend that you use a

sensor and wheel shall be elem-

inated when you replace the tire

with a new one.

After you replace the low pressure

tire with the spare tire, the Low Tire

Pressure Telltale may blink or illumi-

nate after a few minutes because the

TPMS sensor mounted on the spare

wheel is not initiated.

Once the low pressure tire is reinflat-

ed to the recommended pressure

and installed on the vehicle or we

recommend that the TPMS sensor

mounted on the replaced spare

wheel be initiated by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer, the TPMS mal-

function indicator and the low tire

pressure telltale will extinguish within

a few minutes of driving.

What to do in an emergency

You may not be able to identify a low

tire by simply looking at it. Always

use a good quality tire pressure

gauge to measure the tire's inflation

pressure. Please note that a tire that

is hot (from being driven) will have a

higher pressure measurement than a

tire that is cold.

WARNING

TPMS

Protecting TPMS

• The TPMS cannot alert you to

severe and sudden tire dam-

age caused by external fac-

tors such as nails or road

debris.

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.

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.

• 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.

Allow the tire to cool before measur-

ing the inflation pressure. Always be

sure the tire is cold before inflating to

the recommended pressure.

CAUTION

We recommend that you use the

tire sealant approved by

HYUNDAI if your vehicle is

equipped with a Tire Pressure

Monitoring System. The liquid

sealant can damage the tire

pressure sensors.

WARNING

❈All vehicles sold in the

EUROPE market during below

period must be equipped with

TPMS.

For Europe

• Do not modify the vehicle, it

may interfere with the TPMS

function.

- New model vehicle : Nov. 1,

2012 ~

• The wheels on the market do

not have a TPMS sensor.

- Current model vehicle : Nov.

1, 2014~ (Based on vehicle

registrations)

For your safety, we recom-

mend that you use parts for

replacement from an author-

ized HYUNDAI dealer.

• If you use the wheels on the

market, use a TPMS sensor

approved by a HYUNDAI deal-

er. If your vehicle is not

equipped with a TPMS sensor

or TPMS does not work prop-

erly, you may fail the periodic

vehicle inspection conducted

in your country.
