Get What to Do in an Emergency -> Tire Pressure Monitoring System Guide for Hyundai Tucson SUV 2020

What to do in an emergency

If any of your tire pressures are indi-

cated as being low, immediately

reduce your speed, avoid hard cor-

nering, and anticipate increased

stopping distances. You should stop

and check your tires as soon as pos-

sible. Inflate the tires to the proper

pressure as indicated on the vehi-

cle’s placard or tire inflation pressure

label located on the driver’s side cen-

ter pillar outer panel.

Low Tire Pressure

If any of the below happens, have

the system checked by an author-

ized HYUNDAI dealer.

1. The Low Tire Pressure TPMS

Malfunction Indicator does not

illuminate for 3 seconds when

the ignition switch is placed to

the ON position or engine is

running.

Low Tire Pressure LCD

Display with Position Indicator

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.

The Low Tire Pressure LCD position

indicator will remain on and the

TPMS Malfunction Indicator may

blink for one minute and then remain

illuminated until you have the low

pressure tire repaired and replaced

on the vehicle.

2. The TPMS Malfunction Indicator

remains illuminated after blink-

ing for approximately 1 minute.

3. The Low Tire Pressure LCD dis-

play remains illuminated

When the tire pressure monitoring

system warning indicators are illumi-

nated and the warning message is

displayed on the cluster LCD display,

one or more of your tires is signifi-

cantly under-inflated. The LCD posi-

tion indicator will indicate which tire

is significantly under-inflated by illu-

minating the corresponding position

light.

NOTICE

The spare tire is not equipped with

a tire pressure sensor.

TPMS Malfunction

Indicator

WARNING

CAUTION

During winter or cold weather,

the TPMS indicator may illumi-

nate if the tire pressures were

set when the outside tempera-

ture was warm. As the outside

air becomes colder, the pres-

sure in the tires will decrease.

Similarly, if the outside air

becomes warmer, the pressure

in the tires will increase. As you

drive your vehicle, the tempera-

ture of the tires will heat up,

therefore the tire pressures will

increase. Check and adjust your

tire pressures regularly before

driving to make sure your vehi-

cle is operating at the correct

pressures as designed.

Low pressure damage

The TPMS Malfunction Indicator will

illuminate after it blinks for approxi-

mately 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.

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.

NOTICE

If there is a malfunction with the

TPMS, the individual tire pres-

sures in the cluster LCD display

will not be available. Have the sys-

tem checked by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possi-

ble.

What to do in an emergency

Once the original tire equipped with

a tire pressure monitoring sensor is

reinflated to the recommended pres-

sure and reinstalled on the vehicle,

the Low Tire Pressure LCD position

indicator and TPMS Malfunction

Indicator will go off within a few min-

utes of driving.

Changing a Tire with TPMS

NOTICE

If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire

Pressure and LCD position indicator

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

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.

If the indicators do not disappear

after a few minutes, please visit an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

CAUTION

Additionally, theTPMS Malfunction

Indicator may illuminate if snow

chains are used or electronic

devices such as computers, charg-

ers, remote starters, navigation,

etc. This may interfere with normal

operation of the TPMS.

Never use a puncture-repairing

agent not approved by HYUNDAI

dealer to repair and/or inflate a

low pressure tire. Tire sealant

not approved by HYUNDAI deal-

er may damage the tire pressure

sensor.

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 serv-

iced by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

The spare tire 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 LCD position

indicator will remain on. Also, the

TPMS Malfunction Indicator will illu-

minate after blinking for one minute if

the vehicle is driven at speed above

15.5 mph (25 km/h) for approximate-

ly 20 minutes.

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.

Allow the tire to cool before measur-

ing the inflation pressure. Always be

sure the tire is cold before inflating to

the recommended pressure.
