3 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
8
o  If there is a failed tire sensor, it is
possible for the TPMS to tempo-
rarily learn a replacement sensor
if  closely driven  to another  ve-
hicle that  is also equipped  with
TPMS.   In  rare cases,  this may
temporarily delay the TPMS mal-
function  indicator from  turning
on.
Each  wheel is  equipped  with  a  tire
pressure sensor  mounted inside  the
tire behind the valve  stem. You must
use TPMS  specific wheels. It  is rec-
ommended that you always have your
tires serviced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer as soon as possible.
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 about  20 minutes  of continuous
driving.
Once  the low  pressure  tire is  re-in-
flated to  the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle, the TPMS
malfunction indicator and the low  tire
pressure telltale will be extinguished.
If  the low  pressure and  TPMS  mal-
function indicators are not extinguished
after about 20 minutes  of continuous
driving,  please   visit  an   authorized
Hyundai dealer.
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
during that  3 hour period).  Allow the
tire to cool before measuring the infla-
tion pressure.
Always be sure the tire is cold before
inflating  to  the  recommended pres-
sure.
A cold tire means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours  and driven for less
than 1 mile in that 3  hour period.
Changing a tire with TPMS
If  you have  a flat  tire,  the Low  Tire
Pressure telltale will turn on. Have the
flat  tire   repaired  by  an  authorized
Hyundai dealer as soon as possible or
replace the flat tire with the temporary
spare tire.
NOTE:
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.
You may not be able to identify a low
tire by simply looking at it. Always use
a good quality tire pressure gauge  to
measure the  tire's inflation pressure.
