Emergency situations
• The wheels of spare tires are not
equipped with tire pressure sensors.
When replacing the disabled tire with
a spare tire due to such problems
including tire puncture or low
pressure, the TPMS malfunction
indicator may blink or illuminate.
It is recommended that the tire be
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and replace it with the original
tire wheel equipped with a tire
pressure sensor.
You may not be able identify a tire with
low pressure 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
pressure measurement than a tire that is
cold (from sitting stationary for at least 3
hour and driven less than 1.6 km (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 1.6 km (1 mile) in that 3 hour period.
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 and with light force, and
slowly move to a safe position off the
road.
