Low Tire Pressure Telltale; Tpms (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) Malfunction Indicator - Hyundai 2010 ELANTRA TOURING Owner's Manual

D150331AFD
Low tire pressure
telltale (if equipped)
The low tire pressure telltale comes on
for 3 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position.
If the warning lights do not come on, or
continuously remains on after coming on
for about 3 seconds when you turned the
ignition switch to the ON position, the
Tire pressure Monitoring System may not
be working properly. To confirm this, first
check and adjust the tire pressure of
each wheel. If the low tire pressure tell-
tale light goes off, the system is working
properly. If the low tire pressure telltale
light still stays ON, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System is not working proper-
ly. If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
This warning lights will also illuminate if
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. You should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible. If
the warning lights illuminate while driv-
ing, reduce vehicle speed immediately
and stop the vehicle. Avoid hard braking
and overcorrecting at the steering wheel.
Inflate the tires to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle's tire information
placard.
WARNING
- Low tire pres-
sure
Significantly low tire pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and can
contribute to loss of vehicle control
and increased braking distances.
Continued driving on tires with low
pressure will cause the tires to
overheat and fail.
