What to do in an emergency

The Low Tire Pressure and Position
telltale will remain on until you have
the low pressure tire repaired and
replaced on the vehicle.

NOTICE
The compact spare tire is not
equipped with a tire pressure sensor.

F060200ABH

TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator

The TPMS malfunction indicator
comes on and stays on when there is
a problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. The system is
able to correctly detect an under-
inflation warning at the same time as
system failure and then it will illumi-
nate both the TPMS malfunction and
the low tire pressure telltale. If the
Front Left sensor fails, the TPMS
malfunction indicator illuminates, but
if the Front Right, Rear Left, or Rear
Right tire is under-inflated, the low
tire pressure and position telltales
may illuminate together with the
TPMS malfunction indicator.
Have the system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible to determine the cause
of the problem.

WARNING

- Low pressure

damage

Significantly low tire pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased braking
distances.
Continued driving on low pres-
sure tires can cause the tires to
overheat and fail.

CAUTION

In winter or cold weather, the
low tire pressure telltale may be
illuminated if the tire pressure
was adjusted to the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure
in warm weather. It does not
mean your TPMS is malfunction-
ing because the decreased tem-
perature leads to a proportional
lowering of tire pressure.
When you drive your vehicle
from a warm area to a cold area
or from a cold area to a warm
area, or the outside temperature
is greatly higher or lower, you
should check the tire inflation
pressure and adjust the tires to
the recommended tire inflation
pressure.
