What to do in an emergency
Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure indicator will come on.
Have the flat tire repaired by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible or replace the flat tire
with the compact spare tire.
CAUTION
NEVER use a puncture-repair-
ing agent to repair and/or inflate
a low pressure tire. The tire
sealant can damage the tire
pressure sensor. If used, you
will have to replace the tire pres-
sure 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 rec-
ommended that you always have
your tires serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

After you replace the low pressure
tire with the compact spare tire, the
TPMS malfunction indicator may
illuminate after restarting and about
20 minutes of continuous driving
because the compact spare tire does
not have a sensor.
Once the low pressure tire is re-
inflated to the recommended pres-
sure and installed on the vehicle, the
TPMS malfunction and the low tire
pressure indicators will extinguish
within a few minutes.
If the indicators are not extinguished
after a few minutes, please visit an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
You may not be able 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 pressure measurement than a
tire that is cold (from sitting station-
ary for at least 3 hours and driven
less than 1 mile (1.6km) during that 3
hour period).
Allow the tire to cool before measur-
ing 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 (1.6km) in that 3
hour period.
CAUTION
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 sen-
sors.
