Low Tire Pressure Light - Hyundai Kona Hybrid 2023 Owner's Manual

Emergency Situations

Low tire pressure light

2C_TPMSLowTirePressure
When the Low Tire Pressure warning light
( ) illuminates and a warning message
appears on the cluster for 10 seconds, one
or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated.
The position of the under-inflated tire also
appears. (if equipped)
If the warning light illuminates, reduce
your speed, and also avoid hard cornering
and sudden braking. We recommend that
your vehicle be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Check the condition and inflation
pressure of all four tires, then reset the
TPMS (For more information, refer to the
"Resetting TPMS" section in this chapter)
or take required counteractions such as
repairing or replacing the tires.
When an authorized HYUNDAI dealer is
not nearby, stop at a safe place and check
the condition and inflation pressure of all
four tires, then reset the TPMS.
If you cannot unable to adjust the
inflation pressure, use the Tire Mobility Kit
(TMK) to repair or replace the
under-inflated tire with a spare tire (if
equipped). We recommend that your
vehicle be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
8-18
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. Note that a tire that is
hot (from being driven) has 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 mi.) 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.
Information
• The warning light may remain on even
after replaced with a spare tire. Replace
your vehicle with original sized tires.
• Note that the TPMS is not a substitute
for proper tire maintenance. It is the
driver's responsibility to maintain the
appropriate recommended inflation
pressure, and the tires must be
inspected periodically to maintain the
recommended inflation pressure.
• The Low Tire Pressure warning light
may illuminate when the TPMS is not
reset when necessary.
• In winter or cold weather, the Low Tire
Pressure warning light may illuminate if
the tire pressure was adjusted to the
recommended tire inflation pressure in
warm weather. It does not mean your
TPMS is malfunctioning because the
decreased temperature leads to a
proportional lowering of tire pressure.
Check the tire inflation pressure and
adjust the tires to the recommended
tire inflation pressure.
• TPMS performance may reduce in the
following situations when:
- Reset is done incorrectly.
- Original sized tires are not installed.
- Driving on rough roads such as
snowy, slippery roads, or unpaved
roads.
