WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
8
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 extinguish. If the low
pressure and TPMS malfunction indi-
cators are not extinguished after 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.
Please note that a tire that is hot (from
being driven) will have a higher pres-
sure measurement than a tire that is
cold (from sitting stationary for at least
3 hours and driven less than 1 mile
during 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.
A cold tire means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours and driven for less
than 1 mile in that 3 hour period.
NOTE:
o Do not use any tire sealant if your
vehicle is equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System. The
liquid sealant can damage the tire
pressure sensors.
o In order for the system to correctly
monitor tires for under-inflation,
there should be a total of exactly 4
sensors fitted to each of the four
driven wheel positions. There
should be no other sensors in the
vehicle since this could cause the
system to monitor the wrong sen-
sors.
!
WARNING - TPMS
o The TPMS cannot alert you to se-
vere and sudden tire damage
caused by external factors.
o If you feel any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off the
accelerator and slowly move to a
safe position off the road.
!
WARNING:
Tampering with, modifying, or dis-
abling 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 malfunc-
tions. Tampering with, modifying,
or disabling the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS) components
may void the warranty for that por-
tion of the vehicle.
