o If there is a failed tire sensor, it is
possible for the TPMS to tempo-
rarily learn a replacement sensor
ifcloselydriventoanothervehicle
that is also equipped with TPMS.
In rare cases, this may tempo-

indicator from turning on.
After you replace the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator or the Low Tire Pressure
telltale may illuminate after restarting
and driving for about 20 minutes.

by simply looking at it. Always use a
good quality tire pressure gauge to
measure the tire's inflation pressure.
Please note that a tire that is hot (from
being driven) will have a higher pres-
sure measurement than a tire that is
cold (from sitting stationary for at least
3 hours and driven less than 1 mile
duringthat3hourperiod).Allowthetire
to cool before measuring the inflation
pressure.
o The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if the vehicle

Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will turn on. Have the
flattirerepairedbyanauthorizedHyundai
dealer as soon as possible or replace
the flat tire with the temporary spare
tire. NEVER use a puncture-repairing
agent to repair and/or inflate a low
pressure tire. If used, you will have to
replace the tire pressure sensor.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
