Tpms (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) Malfunction Indicator - Hyundai SantaFe Owner's Manual

What to do in an emergency
WARNING
- Low pressure
damage
Significantly low tyre pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased braking
distances.
Continued driving on low pres-
sure tyres can cause the tyres
to overheat and fail.

TPMS (Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The low tyre pressure telltale will illu-
minate after it blinks for approximate-
ly one minute when there is a prob-
lem with the Tyre
Monitoring System. If the system is
able to correctly detect an under infla-
tion warning at the same time as sys-
tem failure then it will illuminate both
the TPMS malfunction and low tyre
pressure position telltales e.g. if Front
Left sensor fails, the TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator illuminates, but if the
Front Right, Rear Left, or Rear Right
tyre is under-inflated, the low tyre
pressure position telltales may illumi-
nate together with the TPMS mal-
function indicator.
Have the system checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer as
soon as possible to determine the
cause of the problem.
CAUTION
• The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may be illuminated if the
vehicle is moving around elec-
tric power supply cables or
radios transmitter such as at
police stations, government
Pressure
and public offices, broadcast-
ing stations, military installa-
tions, airports, or transmitting
towers, etc. This can interfere
with normal operation of the
Tyre Pressure
System (TPMS).
• The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may be illuminated if snow
chains are used or some sep-
arate electronic devices such
as notebook
mobile charger, remote starter
or navigation etc., are used in
the vehicle. This can interfere
with normal operation of the
Tire Pressure
System (TPMS).
