Tpms (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) Malfunction Indicator; Changing A Tire With Tpms - Hyundai i20 Owner's Manual

Emergency situations
TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator
will illuminate after it blinks for
approximately one minute when there
is a problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. If the system is able
to correctly detect an under inflation
warning at the same time as system
failure then it will illuminate the TPMS
malfunction indicator.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
NOTICE
If there is a malfunction with the TPMS,
the low tire pressure position telltale
will not be displayed even though the
vehicle has an under-inflated tire.
CAUTION
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
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, broadcasting stations,
military installations, airports, or
transmitting towers, etc. This can
interfere with normal operation of
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).
• The TPMS malfunction indicator may
illuminate if snow chains or some
separately purchased devices such
as notebook computers, mobile
charger, remote starter, navigation
etc. are used in the vehicle. This can
interfere with normal operation of
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).

Changing a tire with TPMS

If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure will come on. We recommend
that the flat tire be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
We recommend that you use a
puncture-repairing agent approved by
HYUNDAI.
The sealant on the tire pressure sensor
and wheel shall be eleminated when
you replace the tire with a new one.
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 have your tires
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
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.
After you replace the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the Low Tire Pressure
Telltale may blink or illuminate after a
few minutes because the TPMS sensor
mounted on the spare wheel is not
initiated.
Once the low pressure tire is re-inflated
to the recommended pressure and
installed on the vehicle or the new TPMS
sensor mounted on the wheel, the TPMS
malfunction indicator and the low tire
pressure and position telltales will turn
off within a few minutes of driving.
If the indicator does not turn off after a
few minutes of driving, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
