TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator
will illuminate after it blinks for
approximately one minute when there
is a problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System.
We recommend that you have the
system checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
NOTICE
If there is a malfunction with the TPMS,
the low tire pressure position telltale
will not be displayed even though the
vehicle has an under-inflated tire.
CAUTION
• The TPMS malfunction indicator may
blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously
illuminated if the vehicle is moving
around electric power supply cables
or radios transmitter such as at
police stations, government and
public offices, broadcasting stations,
military installations, airports, or
transmitting towers, etc. This can
interfere with normal operation of
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).
• The TPMS malfunction indicator may
blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously
illuminated if snow chains are used
or some separate electronic devices
such as notebook computer, mobile
charger, remote starter or navigation
etc., are used in the vehicle.
This can interfere with normal
operation of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
• After you repair a flat tire with a tire
sealant, we recommend that the
tire be inspected and serviced by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer in
order to prevent damage to the tire
pressure sensor.
Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the low Tire
Pressure and Position telltales will come
on.
We recommend that you have the flat
tire repaired by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible or replace the
flat tire with the spare tire.
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.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 25 km/h after
replacing the low pressure tire with the
spare tire, the following will happen:
• The TPMS malfunction indicator may
blink for approximately 1 minute and
then remain continuously illuminated
because the TPMS sensor is not
mounted on the spare wheel.
