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.
Have the system checked by an 
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded 
products 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.
NOTICE
The TPMS Malfunction Indicator may 
illuminate after blinking for one minute 
if the vehicle is near electric power 
supply cables or radio transmitters 
such as police stations, government 
and public offices, broadcasting 
stations, military installations, airports, 
transmitting towers, etc.
Additionally, the TPMS Malfunction 
Indicator may illuminate if snow chains 
are used or electronic devices such as 
computers, chargers, remote starters, 
navigation, etc. This may interfere with 
normal operation of the TPMS.
Changing a Tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire 
Pressure and Position telltales will come 
on. Have the flat tire repaired by an 
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded 
products as soon as possible or replace 
the flat tire with the spare tire.
NOTICE
It is recommended that you do not use a 
puncture-repairing agent not approved 
by an authorized retailer of Genesis 
Branded products or the equivalent 
specified for your vehicle to repair 
and/or inflate a low pressure tire. Tire 
sealant not approved by an authorized 
retailer of Genesis Branded products or 
the equivalent specified for your vehicle 
may damage the tire pressure sensor.
The spare tire (if equipped) does not 
come with a tire pressure monitoring 
sensor. When the low pressure tire or 
the flat tire is replaced with the spare 
tire, the Low Tire Pressure Telltale will 
remain on. Also, the TPMS Malfunction 
Indicator will illuminate after blinking 
for one minute if the vehicle is driven 
at speed above 15.5 mph (25 km/h) for 
approximately 10 minutes.
Once the original wheel equipped with 
a tire pressure monitoring sensor is 
reinflated to the recommended pressure 
and reinstalled on the vehicle, the 
Low Tire Pressure Telltale and TPMS 
Malfunction Indicator will go off within a 
few minutes of driving.
If the indicators do not extinguish after 
a few minutes, consult an authorized 
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
