Tire Replacement with TPMS

If a tire goes flat, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate. If you suspect a flat tire or feel the vehicle becoming unstable, release the accelerator pedal and allow the vehicle to slow down while driving straight. Do not brake immediately or try to move off the road, as this may cause loss of control and an accident. When the vehicle has slowed to a safe speed, brake carefully and move off the road. Drive as far as possible from the road and park on a firm, level surface. If you are on a divided highway, do not park in the median between the two traffic lanes. Replace the flat tire with the compact spare tire.

CAUTION

To avoid damaging the tire pressure monitoring sensor, never use tire puncture repair agents or tire sealants to repair and/or inflate a low-pressure tire. If they are used, you will have to replace the tire pressure monitoring sensor.

The compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure monitoring sensor. When a low-pressure or flat tire is replaced with the spare tire, the low tire pressure warning light will remain on. In addition, the TPMS malfunction indicator will illuminate after flashing for one minute if the vehicle is driven at speeds above 15.5 mph (25 km/h) for approximately 20 minutes.

After re-inflating the original tire equipped with the tire pressure monitoring sensor to the recommended pressure and reinstalling it on the vehicle, the low tire pressure warning light and TPMS malfunction indicator will turn off after a few minutes.

If the indicators do not turn off after a few minutes, contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Each wheel is equipped with a tire pressure sensor installed inside the tire on the valve stem (except the compact spare tire). You must use dedicated TPMS wheels. It is recommended that tire service always be performed at an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
