What to do in an emergency
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximate-
ly one minute and then remain con-
tinuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intend-
ed. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from function-
ing properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels
on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue
to function properly.
If the TPMS indicator does not illu-
minate for 3 seconds when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
position or engine is running, or if
it comes on after blinking for
approximately one minute, we rec-
ommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Low tire pressure telltale
When the tire pressure
monitoring system warn-
ing indicator is illuminated
and warning message
displayed on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated.
If the telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cor-
nering and anticipate increased stop-
ping distances. You should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible.
Inflate the tires to the proper pres-
sure as indicated on the vehicle's
placard or tire inflation pressure label
located on the driver's side center
pillar outer panel. If you cannot reach
a service station or if the tire cannot
hold the newly added air, replace the
low pressure tire with the spare tire.
Then the Low Tire Pressure telltale
may flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated after restarting and about
10 minutes of continuous driving
before you have the low pressure tire
repaired and replaced on the vehicle.
