What is the tyre pressure for Hyundai Tucson?
You’ll find the recommended tyre pressures on a sticker in the driver’s door entrance, with the different wheel sizes listed.
This picture shows that the tyre pressure should be 35psi front and rear in normal conditions, and 40psi for the rear tyres when the car is fully loaded. This is the same whether you have 17-inch, 18-inch or 19-inch alloy wheels on your Tucson.
The spare wheel, if fitted, should be pumped up to 60psi.
How to reset Hyundai Tucson tyre pressure
Once you’ve topped your tyres up to the right pressures, your tyre pressure sensors should reset and calibrate themselves automatically after a short-to-medium drive.
How to adjust Hyundai Tucson headlights
To adjust the level of your headlights, look for the dial on the panel to the right of the steering wheel. You might have to adjust them to a higher number when you’re carrying a heavy load in the boot, because it’ll push the front end of the car up and point your headlights higher up – potentially dazzling other drivers.
Where are fog lights on Hyundai Tucson?
The fog lights are on the indicator stalk. While you twist the end to turn the headlights on and off, you’ll need to look for the switch in the middle of the stalk for the fog lights. Push the switch down to engage the fog lights. You’ll get a fog light icon on the driver’s screen so you know that the lights are on.

If fitted, the button with the car and three lines beneath it is the following distance for the adaptive cruise control system – meaning you can change how close you can get to the car in front before the car will start to slow down.
