Changing a tire with TPMS
After  you  replace the  low  pressure
tire with  the compact  spare tire, the
TPMS malfunction  indicator may  be
illuminated    after   a   few   minutes
because the compact spare tire does
not have a sensor.
Once  the  low   pressure  tire  is  re-
inflated  to  the  recommended  pres-
sure and installed on the vehicle, the
TPMS malfunction  indicator and the
low  tire  pressure  telltale  will  extin-
guish within a few minutes.
CAUTION
If you  have  a flat  tire,  the Low  Tire
Pressure  warning indicator  will  turn
on. Have the  flat tire  repaired by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as  possible  or  replace  the  flat  tire
with the compact spare tire.

vehicle is moving around elec-

use  a   good   quality  tire   pressure
gauge to  measure the tire's  inflation

is hot (from being  driven) will have a
higher pressure measurement than a
tire that  is cold  (from sitting  station-
ary  for at  least  3  hours and  driven
