śꢀ Be sure to shift the gear to N (Neutral)

or P (Park). The engine starts only

when the gear is in N (Neutral) or P

(Park).

śꢀ Turn on the interior light. If the light

dims or goes out when you operate

the starter, the battery is drained.

If you have a flat tire while

driving

If a tire goes flat while you are driving:

śꢀ Take your foot off the accelerator

pedal and let the vehicle slow down

while driving straight ahead. Do not

apply the brakes immediately or

attempt to pull off the road as this

may cause loss of vehicle control

resulting in an accident. When the

vehicle has slowed to such a speed

that it is safe to do so, brake carefully

and pull off the road. Drive off the

road as far as possible and park on

firm, level ground. If you are on a

divided highway, do not park in the

median area between the two traffic

lanes.

See instructions for “Jump Starting”

Emergency situations

JUMP STARTING

Jump starting can be dangerous if done

incorrectly. Follow the jump starting

procedure in this section to avoid serious

injury or damage to your vehicle. If in

doubt about how to properly jump start

your vehicle, we strongly recommend

that you have a service technician or

towing service do it for you.

If acid gets into your eyes, flush your

eyes with clean water for at least 15

minutes and get immediate medical

attention. If acid gets on your skin,

thoroughly wash the area. If you feel

pain or a burning sensation, get medical

attention immediately.

śꢀ When lifting a plastic-cased battery,

excessive pressure on the case may

cause battery acid to leak. Lift with a

battery carrier or with your hands on

opposite corners.

WARNING

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH

to you or bystanders, always follow

these precautions when working near

or handling the battery:

śꢀ Do not attempt to jump start your

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

If your temperature gauge indicates

overheating, you experience a loss of

power, or hear loud pinging or knocking,

the engine may be overheating. If this

happens, you should:

4. Check for coolant leaking from the

radiator, hoses or under the vehicle. (If

the air conditioning had been in use, it

is normal for cold water to be draining

from it when you stop.)

1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it

is safe to do so.

2. Shift the gear to P (Park) and set the

parking brake. If the air conditioning is

ON, turn it OFF.

5. If engine coolant is leaking out, stop

the engine immediately and call the

nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer

for assistance.

3. If engine coolant is running out under

the vehicle or steam is coming out

from the hood, stop the engine. Do

not open the hood until the coolant

has stopped running or the steaming

has stopped. If there is no visible

loss of engine coolant and no steam,

leave the engine running and check

to be sure the engine cooling fan is

operating. If the fan is not running,

turn the engine off.

WARNING

Never remove the engine

coolant cap and/or water-

cooled intercooler coolant

cap or the drain plug while the

engine and radiator are hot.

Hot coolant and steam may blow out

under pressure, causing serious injury.

Turn the engine off and wait until the

engine cools down. Use extreme care

when removing the coolant cap. Wrap

a thick towel around it, and turn it

counterclockwise slowly to the first

stop. Step back while the pressure is

released from the cooling system. When

you are sure all the pressure has been

released, press down on the cap, using

a thick towel, and continue turning

counterclockwise to remove it.

WARNING

While the engine is running,

keep hands, clothing and tools

away from the moving parts

such as the cooling fan and

drive belt to prevent serious

injury.

Emergency situations

6. If you cannot find the cause of the

overheating, wait until the engine

temperature has returned to normal.

Then, if coolant has been lost,

CAUTION

śꢀ Serious loss of coolant indicates

a leak in the cooling system and

have the system be checked by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

carefully add coolant to the reservoir

to bring the fluid level in the reservoir

up to the halfway mark.

śꢀ When the engine overheats from

low engine coolant, suddenly adding

engine coolant may cause cracks

in the engine. To prevent damage,

add engine coolant slowly in small

quantities. It may require several

refilling cycles to properly fill the

engine cooling system. If necessary,

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer

should be consulted to perform this

task.

7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert

for further signs of overheating. If

overheating happens again, call

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for

assistance.

8-9

Emergency situations

Your vehicle has also been equipped with

a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate

when the system is not operating

properly. The TPMS malfunction

Tire pressure monitoring system

WARNING

indicator is combined with the low

tire pressure telltale. When the system

detects a malfunction, the telltale will

flash for approximately one minute and

then remain continuously 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

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.

Over-inflation or under-inflation can

reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle

handling, and lead to sudden tire failure

that may cause loss of vehicle control

resulting in an accident.

Each tire, including the spare (if

provided), should be checked monthly

when cold and inflated to the inflation

pressure recommended by the vehicle

manufacturer on the vehicle placard

or tire inflation pressure label. (If your

vehicle has tires of a different size than

the size indicated on the vehicle placard

or tire inflation pressure label, you should

determine the proper tire inflation

pressure for those tires.)

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.

As an added safety feature, your

vehicle has been equipped with a tire

pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

that illuminates a low tire pressure

telltale when one or more of your tires is

significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,

when the low tire pressure telltale

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 telltale.

NOTICE

If any of the below happens, have

the system checked by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

1. The Low Tire Pressure Telltale/ TPMS

Malfunction Indicator does not

illuminate for 3 seconds when the

Engine Start/Stop button is pressed

to the ON position or when the

engine is running.

2. The TPMS Malfunction Indicator

remains illuminated after blinking for

approximately 1 minute.

3. The Low Tire Pressure Position

Telltale remains illuminated.

08

If you cannot reach a service station or

Low tire pressure

warning light

if the tire cannot hold the newly added

air, replace the low pressure tire with the

spare tire.

Low tire pressure position and

tire pressure telltale

The Low Tire Pressure Telltale will remain

on and the TPMS Malfunction Indicator

may blink for one minute and then

remain illuminated (when the vehicle

is driven approximately 10 minutes at

speed above 15.5 mph (25 km/h)) until

you have the low pressure tire repaired

and replaced on the vehicle.

CAUTION

In winter or cold weather, the Low Tire

Pressure Telltale may be illuminated if

the tire pressure was adjusted to the

recommended tire inflation pressure

in warm weather. It does not mean

your TPMS is malfunctioning because

the decreased temperature 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.

OTM080028L

When the tire pressure monitoring

system warning indicators are

illuminated and a warning message

displayed on the cluster LCD display,

one or more of your tires is significantly

under-inflated. The Low Tire Pressure

Position Telltale will indicate which

tire is significantly underinflated by

illuminating the corresponding position

light.

If either telltale illuminates, immediately

reduce your speed, avoid hard cornering

and anticipate increased stopping

distances. You should stop and check

your tires as soon as possible. Inflate the

tires to the proper pressure as indicated

on the vehicle’s placard or tire inflation

pressure label located on the driver’s

side center pillar outer panel.

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 pressure tires

can cause the tires to overheat and fail.

8-11

Emergency situations

TPMS malfunction

Changing a tire with TPMS

indicator

If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire

Pressure and Position telltales will come

on. Have the flat tire repaired by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as

possible or replace the flat tire with the

spare tire.

The TPMS Malfunction Indicator

will illuminate after it blinks for

approximately one minute when there

is a problem with the Tire Pressure

Monitoring System.

Have the system checked by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as

possible.

NOTICE

It is recommended that you do not

use a puncture-repairing agent not

approved by HYUNDAI dealer or the

equivalent specified for your vehicle to

repair and/or inflate a low pressure tire.

Tire sealant not approved by HYUNDAI

dealer or the equivalent specified for

your vehicle may damage the tire

pressure sensor.

NOTICE

If there is a malfunction with the

TPMS, the individual tire pressures

in the cluster LCD display will not be

available. Have the system checked by

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon

as possible.

The spare tire (if equipped) does not

come with a tire pressure monitoring

sensor. When the low pressure tire or

the flat tire is replaced with the spare

tire, the Low Tire Pressure Telltale will

remain on. Also, the TPMS Malfunction

Indicator will illuminate after blinking

for one minute if the vehicle is driven

at speed above 15.5 mph (25 km/h) for

approximately 10 minutes.

Once the original wheel equipped with

a tire pressure monitoring sensor is

reinflated to the recommended pressure

and reinstalled on the vehicle, the

Low Tire Pressure Telltale and TPMS

Malfunction Indicator will go off within a

few minutes of driving.

NOTICE

The TPMS Malfunction Indicator may

illuminate after blinking for one minute

if the vehicle is near electric power

supply cables or radio transmitters

such as police stations, government

and public offices, broadcasting

stations, military installations, airports,

transmitting towers, etc.

Additionally, the TPMS Malfunction

Indicator may illuminate if snow chains

are used or electronic devices such as

computers, chargers, remote starters,

navigation, etc. This may interfere with

normal operation of the TPMS.

8-12

08

If the indicators do not extinguish after a

few minutes, please visit an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

Each wheel is equipped with a tire

pressure sensor mounted inside the tire

behind the valve stem (except for the

spare tire). You must use TPMS specific

wheels. It is recommended that you

always have your tires serviced by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

You may not be able to identify a tire

with low pressure by simply looking at it.

Always use a good quality tire pressure

gauge to measure. Please note that a tire

that is hot (from being driven) will have a

higher pressure measurement than a tire

that is cold.

A cold tire means the vehicle has been

sitting for 3 hours and driven for less

than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3 hour period.

WARNING

Tampering with, modifying, or disabling

the Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) components may interfere

with the system’s ability to warn the

driver of low tire pressure conditions

and/or TPMS malfunctions. Tampering

with, modifying, or disabling the Tire

Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

components may void the warranty for

that portion of the vehicle.

Information

This device complies with Part 15 of the

FCC rules.

Operation is subject to the following three

conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful

interference.

Allow the tire to cool before measuring

the inflation pressure. Always be sure

the tire is cold before inflating to the

recommended pressure.

2. This device must accept any

interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired

operation.

3. Changes or modifications not expressly

approved by the party responsible

for compliance could void the user’s

authority to operate the equipment.

WARNING

śꢀ The TPMS cannot alert you to severe

and sudden tire damage caused by

external factors such as nails or road

debris.

śꢀ If you feel any vehicle instability,

immediately take your foot off

the accelerator, apply the brakes

gradually with light force, and slowly

move to a safe position off the road.

Emergency situations

WARNING

Wheels may have sharp edges. Handle

them carefully to avoid possible severe

injury. Before putting the wheel into

place, be sure that there is nothing on

the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar,

gravel, etc.) that interferes with the

wheel from fitting solidly against the

hub.

If there is, remove it. If there is not

good contact on the mounting surface

between the wheel and hub, the wheel

nuts could come loose and cause the

loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may

result in loss of control of the vehicle.

This may cause serious injury or death.

OTM080045L

12. Use the wheel lug wrench to tighten

the wheel bolts in the order shown.

Double-check each wheel bolts until

they are tight. After changing tires,

have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer

tighten the wheel bolts to their proper

torque as soon as possible. The wheel

bolt should be tightened to 79~94

lbf.ft (11~13 kgf.m).

10. To reinstall the wheel, hold it on the

studs, put the wheel nuts on the studs

and tighten them finger tight. The

nuts should be installed with their

tapered small diameter ends directed

inward. Jiggle the tire to be sure it is

completely seated, then tighten the

nuts as much as possible with your

fingers again.

If you have a tire gauge, check the

tire pressure (see “Tires and Wheels”

section in chapter 2 for tire pressure

instructions.). If the pressure is lower or

higher than recommended, drive slowly

to the nearest service station and adjust

it to the recommended pressure. Always

reinstall the valve cap after checking

or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap

is not replaced, air may leak from the

tire. If you lose a valve cap, buy another

and install it as soon as possible. After

changing tires, secure the flat tire and

return the jack and tools to their proper

storage locations.

11. Lower the vehicle to the ground

by turning the wheel lug wrench

counterclockwise.

Introduction

With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay mobile

even after experiencing a tire puncture.

The compressor and sealing compound

system effectively and comfortably seals

most punctures in a passenger car tire

caused by nails or similar objects and

reinflates the tire.

After you ensure that the tire is properly

sealed you can drive cautiously on the

tire (distance up to 120 miles (200 km))

at a max. speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) in

order to reach a service station or tire

dealer for the tire replacement.

It is possible that some tires, especially

with larger punctures or damage to the

sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.

Air pressure loss in the tire may adversely

affect tire performance.

For this reason, you should avoid abrupt

steering or other driving maneuvers,

especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded

or if a trailer is in use.

OTM080007

For safe operation, carefully read and

follow the instructions in this manual

before use.

(1) Compressor

(2) Sealant bottle

The Tire Mobility Kit is a temporary fix to

the tire and the tire should be inspected

by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as

soon as possible.

CAUTION

The Tire Mobility Kit is not designed

or intended as a permanent tire repair

method and is to be used for one tire

only.

When two or more tires are flat, do not

use the tire mobility kit because the

sealant provided with the Tire Mobility

Kit must be used for only one flat tire.

This instruction shows you step by step

how to temporarily seal the puncture

simply and reliably.

Read the section “Notes on the safe use

of the Tire Mobility Kit”.

WARNING

Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit to repair

punctures in the tire walls. This can

result in an accident due to tire failure.

WARNING

Have your tire repaired as soon as

possible. The tire may lose air pressure

at any time after inflating with the Tire

Mobility Kit.

to an unconscious person and seek

medical attention immediately.

śꢀ Long time exposure to the sealant

may cause damage to bodily tissue

such as kidney, etc.

śꢀ To be sure your vehicle will not move,

even when you’re on fairly level

ground, always set your parking brake.

śꢀ Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for

sealing/inflation passenger car tires.

Only punctured areas located within

the tread region of the tire can be

sealed using the tire mobility kit.

śꢀ Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles

or any other type of tires.

śꢀ When the tire and wheel are

damaged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit

for your safety.
