Tire pressure gauge

Tires normally lose some air in day-to-day use, and you may have to add a air periodically and usually it is not a sign of a leaking tire, but of normal wear. Always check tire pressure when the tires are cold because tire pressure increases with temperature.

To check the tire pressure, take the following steps:

  1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap that is located on the rim of the tire.

  2. Press and hold the gauge against the tire valve. Some air will leak as you begin and more will leak if you don't press the gauge in firmly.

  3. A firm non-leaking push will activate the gauge.

  4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge to see whether the tire pressure is low or high.

  5. Adjust the tire pressure to the specified pressure. Refer to the "Tires and wheels" section in chapter 2.

  6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.

  • When an accident occur, park the vehicle to a safe place. To avoid the leak of electricity in high voltage battery, turn the vehicle off and pull the yellow label in the high voltage battery switch to shut down the high voltage battery. Also, disconnect the auxiliary battery(12 V) cable to shut down. Be sure to disconnect both (+) cable and (-) cable.

  • Do not touch the exposed electric wires. Do not touch high voltage wires (orange), connectors and other electric components.

  • When an accident occur, the lethal gas and fluid from damaged high voltage battery can be leaked. Be aware not to touch or exposed to the gas and fluid. When flammable or poison gas leak inside the vehicle, open windows and evacuate to a safe place. When leaked fluid comes in contact with your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water. When the fluid contacts with your skin, wash it with salt water. Get immediate medical attention afterward.

  • When the vehicle is flooded, immediately turn the vehicle off and evacuate to a safe place. For your safety we recommend to call the fire station and or contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

  • When the fire spread to the high voltage battery, the additional fire may occur. In this situation, be sure to accompany a fire truck when the vehicle is being towed.
