Just as your tyres can be deflated, you can also over-inflate them, causing them to overheat and eventually blow out, which could cause a dangerous accident on the road. That’s why becoming familiar with the correct tyre pressure for your car is essential.
What is the correct tyre pressure for a Hyundai Tucson?
The Hyundai Tucson has 235/50/R19 V 103 size tyres, and requires a front and rear tyre pressure of 32 PSI (2.2 BAR). However, the required pressure varies between different generations and depends on how much weight the vehicle is carrying - that's why you should always consult your owner's manual for accurate information.
You can also check the correct tyre pressure for your Hyundai Tucson by looking around the door trim. Most vehicles have a tyre pressure chart somewhere near the driver's door.
What to do if your Hyundai Tucson tyre pressure warning light comes on
The tyre pressure warning light indicates that your tyre pressure is low. It could be due to a puncture, or your car's tyres may naturally have lost air over time. The image below shows what it looks like.
How to check your Hyundai Tucson tyre pressure
You can view each tyre's pressure within a few minutes of driving on your Hyundai Tucson. Your tyre pressure will automatically appear on your LCD display in front of your steering wheel once detected by sensors.
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System allows you to see the correct tyre pressure and warns you when the tyre pressure drops too low. This is shown from the tyre pressure indicator and your LCD screen highlighting which tyre needs more air.
How to reset your tyre pressure light on a Hyundai Tucson
Once you have inflated your tyres to the correct level, start your engine and begin driving. After driving for a few minutes, the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System sensors will detect the pressure change in your tyres, automatically resetting the warning light for you.
If you’ve tried this and think that you may need to reset your tyre pressure light, you can follow the steps below.
What to do if your Hyundai Tyre Pressure Monitoring System does not automatically reset
If your Tyre Pressure Monitoring System does not automatically reset after 10-15 miles of driving, you can manually reset the system yourself.
The Tyre Pressure Monitor System reset button is below most Hyundai models' steering wheel. Hold the reset button until the tyre pressure monitor light blinks three times, then restart the car, and the sensors should shortly reset.
If you’re still having problems after trying this, there may be a fault with the system, and it’s recommended that you take your car to a garage for a diagnosis.
