Changing A Tire With Tpms - Hyundai BC3 Owner's Manual

Emergency situations

Changing a tire with TPMS

If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and Position telltales will come
on. We recommend that the flat tire
be repaired by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible or replace the
flat tire with the spare tire.
CAUTION
Never use a puncture-repairing agent
not approved by HYUNDAI dealer or
qualified repair shop for your vehicle
to repair and/or inflate a low pressure
tire.
You may not be able to identify a tire
with low pressure by simply looking at it.
Always use a good quality tire pressure
gauge to measure. Please note that a tire
that is hot (from being driven) will have a
higher pressure measurement than a tire
that is cold.
A cold tire means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours and driven for less
than 1.6 km (1 mile) in that 3 hour period.
Allow the tire to cool before measuring
the inflation pressure. Always be sure
the tire is cold before inflating to the
recommended pressure.
WARNING
• The TPMS cannot alert you to severe
and sudden tire damage caused by
external factors such as nails or road
debris.
• If you feel any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off
the accelerator, apply the brakes
gradually with light force, and slowly
move to a safe position off the road.

WARNING
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 conditions
and/or TPMS malfunctions. Tampering
with, modifying, or disabling the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may void the warranty for
that portion of the vehicle.
WARNING
For EUROPE
• Do not modify the vehicle; it may
interfere with the TPMS function.
• The wheels on the market do not
have a TPMS sensor. For your safety,
we recommend that you use parts

• If you use the wheels on the market,
use a TPMS sensor approved by a
HYUNDAI dealer or the equivalent
approved for your vehicle.
• If your vehicle is not equipped with a
TPMS sensor or TPMS does not work

vehicle inspection conducted in your
