WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 3 7 WARNING: Significantly low tire pressure makes the vehicle unstable and can contribute to loss of vehicle control and increased braking distances. Continued driving on low pressure tires will cause the tires to overheat and fail. ! tale may turn on at the same time as the TPMS malfunction indicator. Have the system checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as possible to determine the cause of the problem. NOTE: o The TPMS malfunction indicator may be illuminated if the vehicle is operated in areas close to electric power supply cables or radio transmitters such as near police stations, government and public offices, broadcasting stations, military installations, airports, or transmitting towers, etc. which can interfere with normal operation of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). o The TPMS malfunction indicator may be illuminated if snow chains some electronic devices, such as notebook computers, are used in the vehicle. This can interfere with normal operation of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). o If there is a failed tire sensor, it is possible for the TPMS to temporarily learn a replacement sensor if closely driven to another vehicle that is also equipped 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 recommended that you always have your tires serviced by an authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
