Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure will come on. We recommend
that the flat tire be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
It is recommended that you do not
use a puncture-repairing agent not
approved by HYUNDAI dealer or the
equivalent specified for your vehicle to
repair and/or inflate a low pressure tire.
Tire sealant not approved by HYUNDAI
dealer or the equivalent specified
for your vehicle may damage 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 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 illuminate after a
few minutes because the TPMS sensor
mounted on the spare wheel is not
initiated.
Once the low pressure tire is reinflated to
the recommended pressure and installed
on the vehicle or we recommend that
the TPMS sensor mounted on the
replaced spare wheel be initiated by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer, the TPMS
malfunction indicator and the low tire
pressure telltale will extinguish within a
few minutes of driving.
If the indicator is not extinguished after a
few minutes of driving, We recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
If original mounted tire is replaced
with the spare tire, the TPMS sensor
on the replaced spare wheel should be
initiated and we recommend that the
TPMS sensor on the original mounted
wheel be deactivated by a HYUNDAI
dealer.
If the TPMS sensor on the original
mounted wheel located in the spare tire
carrier still activates, the tire pressure
monitoring system may not operate
properly. We recommend that the
system be serviced by 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.
A cold tire means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours and driven for less
than 1 mile (1.6 km) in 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.
