WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 3 7 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 moving around electric power supply cable or radio transmitter such as police stations, government and public offices, broadcasting stations, military installations, airports, or transmitting tower, etc. which can interfere with normal operation of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). o The TPMS malfunction indicator may be illuminated if some electronic devices, such as notebook computer, are used in the vehicle. This can interfere with normal operation of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Changing a tire with TPMS If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire Pressure telltale will come 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. NEVER use a puncturerepairing 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 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. After you replace the low pressure tire with the temporary spare tire, the TPMS malfunction indicator will illuminate after restarting and about 20 minutes of continuous driving because the temporary spare tire does not have a sensor. Once the low pressure tire is re-inflated to the recommended pressure and installed on the vehicle, the TPMS malfunction indicator and the low tire pressure telltale will be soon extinguished. If the low pressure and TPMS malfunction indicators are not extinguished after about 20 minutes of continuous driving, please visit an authorized Hyundai dealer. 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. Please note that a tire that is hot (from being driven) will have a higher pressure 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 inflation pressure. Always be sure the tire is cold before inflating to the recommended pressure. A cold tire means the vehicle has been sitting for 3 hours and driven for less than 1 mile in that 3 hour period.
