The hazard warning flasher serves as a warning to other drivers to exercise extreme caution when approaching, overtaking, or passing your vehicle. It should be used whenever emergency repairs are being made or when the vehicle is stopped near the edge of a roadway. To turn the hazard warning flasher on or off, press the hazard warning flasher button with the Engine Start/Stop button in any position. The hazard warning flasher button is located in the center fascia panel. All turn signal lights will flash simultaneously.

  • The hazard warning flasher operates regardless of whether your vehicle is running or not.
  • The turn signals do not work when the hazard flasher is on.

In case of an Emergency While Driving

If the Engine Stalls While Driving
Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place. Turn on your hazard warning flasher. Try to start the engine again. If your vehicle will not start, contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or seek other qualified assistance.

If the Engine Stalls at a Crossroad or Crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroads or crossing, if safe to do so, shift the gear to N (Neutral) and then push the vehicle to a safe location.

If You Have a Flat Tire While Driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:

  • Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and let the vehicle slow down while driving straight ahead. Do not apply the brakes immediately or attempt to pull off the road as this may cause loss of vehicle control resulting in an accident. When the vehicle has slowed to such a speed that it is safe to do so, brake carefully and pull off the road. Drive off the road as far as possible and park on firm, level ground. If you are on a divided highway, do not park in the median area between the two traffic lanes.
  • When the vehicle is stopped, press the hazard warning flasher button, move the shift lever into P (Park), apply the parking brake, and place the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF position.
  •  Have all passengers get out of the vehicle. Be sure they all get out on the side of the vehicle that is away from traffic.
  • When changing a flat tire, follow the instructions provided later in this chapter.

If the Engine Will Not Start

If the Engine Doesn’t Turn Over or Turns Over Slowly

  • Be sure the shift lever is in N (Neutral) or P (Park). The engine starts only when the shift lever is in N (Neutral) or P (Park).
  • Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
  •  Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate the starter, the battery is drained.

Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it. This could cause damage to your vehicle. See instructions for “Jump Starting” provided in this chapter.

CAUTION
Push or pull starting the vehicle may cause the catalytic converter to overload which can lead to damage to the emission control system.

If the Engine Turns Over Normally but Doesn’t Start
Check the fuel level and add fuel if necessary.
If the engine still does not start, have your vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Jump Starting

Jump starting can be dangerous if done incorrectly. Follow the jump-starting procedure in this section to avoid serious injury or damage to your vehicle. If in doubt about how to properly jump-start your vehicle, we strongly recommend that you have a service technician or towing service do it for you.

WARNING
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH to you or bystanders, always follow these precautions when working near or handling the battery:

  • Always read and follow instructions carefully when handling a battery.
  • Wear eye protection designed to protect the eyes from acid splashes.
  • Keep all flames, sparks, or smoking materials away from the battery.
  • Hydrogen is always present in battery cells, is highly combustible, and may explode if ignited.
  • Keep batteries out of reach of children.
  • Batteries contain sulfuric acid which is highly corrosive. Do not allow acid to contact your eyes, skin or clothing.

If acid gets into your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention. If acid gets on your skin, thoroughly wash the area. If you feel pain or a burning sensation, get medical attention immediately.

  • When lifting a plastic-cased battery,  excessive pressure on the case may cause battery acid to leak. Lift with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners.
  • Do not attempt to jump-start your vehicle if your battery is frozen.
  • NEVER attempt to recharge the battery when the vehicle’s battery cables are connected to the battery.
  • The electrical ignition system works with high voltage.
  • NEVER touch these components with the engine running or when the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position.
  • Do not allow the (+) and (-) jumper cables to touch. It may cause sparks.
  • The battery may rupture or explode when you jump start with a low or frozen battery.

Jump starting procedure

  1. Position the vehicles close enough that the jumper cables will reach, but do not allow the vehicles to touch.
  2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in the engine compartment at all times, even when the vehicles are turned off.
  3. Turn off all electrical devices such as radios, lights, air conditioning, etc. Put the vehicles in P (Park, for automatic transmission vehicles) or neutral (for manual transmission vehicles), and set the parking brakes. Turn both vehicles OFF.
  4. Open the engine hood.
    Hyundai-Kona-2023-Owners-Manual-Auto-User-Guide 2
  5. Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the illustration. First connect one jumper cable to the red, positive (+) jumper terminal of your vehicle (1).
    CAUTION Before jump-starting, make sure to correctly identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals to avoid reverse polarity connections.
  6.  Connect the other end of the jumper cable to the red, positive (+) battery/jumper terminal of the assisting vehicle (2).
  7. Connect the second jumper cable to the black, negative (-) battery/jumper terminal of the assisting vehicle (3).
  8. Connect the other end of the second jumper cable to the black, negative (-) chassis ground of your vehicle (4).
  9. Do not allow the jumper cables to contact anything except the correct battery or jumper terminals or the correct ground. Do not lean over the battery when making connections.
  10. Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and let it run at approximately 2,000 RPM for a few minutes. Then start your vehicle.
  11. Keep your vehicle operating for at least 30 minutes at idle or driving to ensure your battery receives enough charge to be able to start on its own after the vehicle is shut off. A completely discharged battery may require as long as 60 minutes runtime to fully recharge it. If the vehicle is run for less, the vehicle may not restart.

WARNING
Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative (-) jumper terminal of the discharged battery. A spark could cause the battery to explode and lead to personal injury or vehicle damage. If your vehicle will not start after a few attempts, it probably requires service. In this event please seek qualified assistance. If the cause of your battery discharging is not apparent, have your vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Disconnect the jumper cables in the exact reverse order you connected them:

  1. Disconnect the jumper cable from the black, negative (-) chassis ground of your vehicle (4).
  2. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the black, negative (-) battery/chassis ground of the assisting vehicle (3).
  3. Disconnect the second jumper cable from the red, positive (+) battery/jumper terminal of the assisting vehicle (2).
  4. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the red, positive (+) jumper terminal of your vehicle (1).

Information
An inappropriately disposed battery can be harmful to the environment and human health. Dispose of the battery according to your local law(s) or regulations.

NOTICE
To prevent damage to your vehicle: Only use a 12-volt power supply  (battery or jumper system) to jump-start your vehicle. Do not attempt to jump-start your vehicle by push-starting.

WARNING
While jump-starting your vehicle, avoid the positive (+) and negative (-) cables to come in contact. A spark could cause personal injury.

If the Engine Overheats

If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knocking, the engine may be overheating. If this happens, you should:

  1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
  2. Place the shift lever in P (Park) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is ON, turn it OFF.
  3. If engine coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is coming out from the hood, stop the engine. Do not open the hood until the coolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of engine coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
    WARNING
    While the engine is running, keep hands, clothing, and tools away from the moving parts such as the cooling fan and drive belt to prevent serious injury.
  4. Check for coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses, or under the vehicle. (If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to be draining from it when you stop.)
  5. If engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.
    WARNING
    Never remove the engine coolant cap and/or water-cooled intercooler coolant cap or the drain plug while the engine and radiator are hot. Hot coolant and steam may blow out under pressure, causing serious injury. Turn the engine off and wait until the engine cools down. Use extreme care when removing the coolant cap. Wrap a thick towel around it, and turn it counterclockwise slowly to the first stop. Step back while the pressure is released from the cooling system. When you are sure all the pressure has been released, press down on the cap, using a thick towel, and continue turning counterclockwise to remove it.
  6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheating, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully add coolant to the reservoir to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
  7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. If overheating happens again, call an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.

CAUTION
Serious loss of coolant indicates a leak in the cooling system and have the system be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. When the engine overheats from low engine coolant, suddenly adding engine coolant may cause cracks in the engine. To prevent damage, add engine coolant slowly in small quantities. It may require several refilling cycles to properly fill the engine cooling system. If necessary, an authorized HYUNDAI dealer should be consulted to perform this task.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (Type A)

Hyundai-Kona-2023-Owners-Manual-Auto-User-Guide 3

  1.  Low tire pressure telltale / TPMS malfunction indicator

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires. As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

NOTICE
If the TPMS indicator does not illuminate for 3 seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position or the engine is running, or if it comes on after blinking for approximately one minute, take your car to your nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have the system checked.

Low tire pressure telltale
When the tire pressure monitoring system warning indicator is illuminated and a warning message is displayed on the cluster LCD display, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. If the telltale illuminates, immediately reduce your speed, avoid hard cornering, and anticipate increased stopping distances. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible. Inflate the tires to the proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle’s placard or tire inflation pressure label located on the driver’s side center pillar outer panel. If you cannot reach a service station or if the tire cannot hold the newly added air, replace the low-pressure tire with the spare tire. Then the Low Tire Pressure telltale may flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated after restarting and about 10 minutes of continuous driving before you have the low-pressure tire repaired and replaced on the vehicle.

CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the low tire pressure may be illuminated if the tire pressure is adjusted to the recommended tire inflation pressure in warm weather. It does not mean your TPMS is malfunctioning because the decreased temperature leads to a proportional lowering of tire pressure. When you drive your vehicle from a warm area to a cold area or from a cold area to a warm area, or the outside temperature is greatly higher or lower, you should check the tire inflation pressure and adjust the tires to the recommended tire inflation pressure.

WARNING
Low-pressure damage
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 can cause the tires to overheat and fail.

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. If the system is able to correctly detect an under-inflation warning at the same time as system failure then it will illuminate the TPMS malfunction indicator. Have the system checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible to determine the cause of the problem.

CAUTION
The TPMS malfunction indicator may be illuminated if the vehicle is moving around electric power supply cables or radio transmitters such as at police stations, government and public offices, broadcasting stations, military installations, airports, or transmitting towers, etc. This can interfere with the normal operation of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The TPMS malfunction indicator may illuminate if snow chains or some separately purchased devices such as notebook computers, mobile chargers, remote starters, navigation, etc., are used in the vehicle. This can interfere with the normal operation of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire Pressure will come on. Have the flat tire repaired by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible or replace the flat tire with the spare tire.

CAUTION
Never use a puncture-repairing agent not approved by HYUNDAI to repair and/or inflate a low-pressure tire. The tire sealant not approved by HYUNDAI may damage the tire pressure sensor. The sealant on the tire pressure sensor and wheel shall be eliminated when you replace the tire with a new one. 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. 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 driving for about 20 minutes because the TPMS sensor mounted on the spare wheel is not initiated. Once the low-pressure tire is reflated to the recommended pressure and installed on the vehicle or the TPMS sensor mounted on the replaced spare wheel is 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, please visit an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

CAUTION
If the original mounted tire is replaced with the spare tire, the TPMS sensor on the replaced spare wheel should be initiated and the TPMS sensor on the original mounted wheel should be deactivated by an 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. Have the tires with TPMS serviced or replaced 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.

CAUTION
Do not use any tire sealant except the Tire Mobility Kit approved by HYUNDAI if your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System. The liquid sealant can damage the tire pressure sensors.

TPMS
The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and sudden tire damage caused by external factors such as nails or road debris. If you feel any vehicle instability, immediately take your foot off the accelerator, apply the brakes gradually and with light force, and slowly move to a safe position off the road.

Protecting TPMS
Tampering with, modifying, or disabling the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) components may interfere with the system’s ability to warn the driver of low tire pressure conditions and/or TPMS malfunctions. Tampering with, modifying, or disabling the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) components may void the warranty for that portion of the vehicle.

Information
