Tire Pressure Monitoring System

WARNING

Over-inflation or under-inflation can reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle handling, and cause sudden tire failure, which may result in loss of vehicle control and an accident.

Check all tires, including the spare tire (if equipped), monthly when cold and inflate to the tire pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire pressure label, you must determine the correct tire pressure for those tires.)

As an additional safety measure, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure warning light when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure warning light illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.

Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure warning light.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure warning light. When the system detects a malfunction, the indicator will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue during subsequent vehicle starts until the malfunction is corrected.

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.

Always check the TPMS warning light after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to make sure the replacement or changed tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function normally.

NOTICE

If any of the following occurs, have the system checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

1. The Low Tire Pressure Warning Light does not come on for 3 seconds when the ignition switch is in the ON position or the engine is running.

2. The TPMS malfunction indicator remains illuminated after flashing for approximately 1 minute.

3. The Low Tire Pressure LCD display remains illuminated.
