Have the system checked by an autho-
rized Hyundai dealer as soon as pos-
sible to determine the cause of the
problem.
NOTE:
o The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if the vehicle
is moving around electric power
supply cables or radio transmit-
ters such as police stations, gov-
ernment and public offices, broad-
casting stations, military installa-
tions, airports, or transmitting tow-
ers, etc. which can interfere with
normal operation of the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS).
o The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if snow chains
or some electronic devices, such
as notebook computers, 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 telltale will turn on. Have the
flat tire repaired by an authorized Hyundai
dealer as soon as possible or replace
the flat tire with the temporary spare
tire.
NOTE:
NEVER use a puncture-repairing
agent to repair and/or inflate a low
pressure tire. If used, you will have
to replace the tire pressure sensor.
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 recom-
mended that you always have your tires
serviced by an authorized Hyundai dealer
as soon as possible.
After you replace the low pressure tire
with the temporary spare tire, the TPMS
malfunction indicator may illuminate
and the low tire pressure telltale still
illuminate after restarting and about 20
minutes of continuous driving.
WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
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 be extinguished. If the
low pressure and TPMS malfunction
indicators 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.
