What to do in an emergency
Changing a tire with TPMS
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.
Even if you replace the low  pressure
tire with  the spare tire,  the Low Tire
Pressure Telltale will  blink or remain
on  until   the   low  pressure   tire   is
repaired and placed on the vehicle.
After  you  replace the  low  pressure
tire with  the spare tire,  the Low Tire
Pressure Telltale may  blink or illumi-
nate after a few minutes because the
TPMS sensor mounted on the  spare
wheel is not initiated.
Once the low pressure tire is reinflat-
ed  to   the  recommended  pressure
and  installed  on the  vehicle  or  the
TPMS   sensor    mounted    on   the
replaced spare  wheel is  initiated by
an authorized  HYUNDAI dealer,  the
TPMS malfunction  indicator and the
low  tire  pressure  telltale  will  extin-
guish within a few minutes of driving.
