WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
7
Right, Rear Left, or Rear Right tire is
under-inflated, the low tire pressure tell-
tale may turn on at the same time as the
TPMS malfunction indicator.
Have the system checked by an autho-
rized Hyundai dealer as soon as pos-
sible to determine the cause of the
problem.
NOTE:
o The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if the vehicle
is moving around electric power
supply cable or radio transmitter
such as police stations, govern-
ment and public offices, broad-
casting stations, military installa-
tions, airports, or transmitting
tower, etc. which can interfere with
normal operation of the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS).
o The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if snow chains
or some electronic devices, such
as notebook computer, are used
in the vehicle. This can interfere
with normal operation of the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).
o If there is a failed tire sensor, it is
possible for the TPMS to tempo-
rarily learn a replacement sensor
if closely driven to another ve-
hicle that is also equipped with
TPMS. In rare cases, this may
temporarily delay the TPMS mal-
function indicator from turning
on.
Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will turn on. Have the
flat tire repaired by an authorized
Hyundai dealer as soon as possible or
replace the flat tire with the temporary
spare tire.
NOTE:
NEVER use a puncture-repairing
agent to repair and/or inflate a low
pressure tire. If used, you will have
to replace the tire pressure sensor.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the tire
behind the valve stem. You must use
TPMS specific wheels.
It is recommended that you always
have your tires serviced by an autho-
rized Hyundai dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
After you replace the low pressure tire
with the temporary spare tire, the TPMS
malfunction indicator may illuminate
after restarting and about 20 minutes of
continuous driving.
Once the low pressure tire is re-inflated
to the recommended pressure and in-
stalled on the vehicle, the TPMS mal-
function indicator and the low tire pres-
sure telltale will be soon extinguished.
If the low pressure and TPMS malfunc-
tion indicators are not extinguished af-
ter about 20 minutes of continuous
driving, please visit an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
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.
