If You Have A Flat Tire While Driving; Confirm The Ev Battery Is Not Low On The Charge Gauge - Hyundai IONIQ ELECTRIC 2019 Manual

If you Have a Flat Tire While
Driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
• Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow down
while driving straight ahead. Do not
apply the brakes immediately to
slow down the vehicle, but use the
paddle shifter (left side lever) to
increase regenerative braking con-
trol. Also, do not or attempt to pull
off the road as this may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident. When the vehicle has
slowed to such a speed that it is
safe to do so, brake carefully and
pull off the road. Drive off the road
as far as possible and park on firm,
level ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes.
• When the vehicle is stopped, press
the hazard warning flasher button,
shift to P(Park), apply the parking
brake, and place the POWER but-
ton in the OFF position.
• Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
• When changing a flat tire, follow
the instructions provided later in
this chapter.

• Be sure the gear is in P (Park). The
vehicle starts only when the gear is
in P (Park).
• Check the 12-volt battery connec-
tions to be sure they are clean and
tight.
• Turn on the interior light. If the light
dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. This could cause damage to
your vehicle. See instructions for
"Jump Starting" provided in this
chapter.
