damage
Significantly low tire pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased braking
distances.
• The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may be illuminated if the
vehicle is moving around elec-
tric power supply cables or

both the TPMS malfunction and the
low tire pressure telltale. If the Front
Left sensor fails, the TPMS malfunc-

Front Right, Rear Left, or Rear Right

Monitoring
•
The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may be illuminated if some
electronic devices, such as
notebook computers, are used
in the vehicle. This can inter-
fere with normal operation of
the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS).
Have the system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible to determine the cause
of the problem.
•
If there is a failed tire sensor, it
is possible for TPMS to tem-
porarily learn a replacement
sensor when you drive closely
to another vehicle equipped
with TPMS too. In rare cases,
this may temporarily delay the
TPMS malfunction turning on.
