WARNING
- Low
pressure
damage
Significantly low tyre pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased braking
distances.
Continued driving on low pres-
sure tyres can cause the tyres
to overheat and fail.
TPMS (Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The low tyre pressure telltale will illu-
minate after it blinks for approximate-
ly one minute when there is a prob-
lem
with
the
Tyre
Monitoring System. If the system is
able to correctly detect an underinfla-
tion warning at the same time as sys-
tem failure then it will illuminate both
the TPMS malfunction and low tyre
pressure telltales e.g. if Front Left
sensor fails, the TPMS malfunction
indicator illuminates, but if the Front
Right, Rear Left, or Rear Right tyre is
under-inflated, the low tyre pressure
telltales may illuminate together with
the TPMS malfunction indicator.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorised Kia dealer
to determine the cause of the prob-
lem.
What to do in an emergency
CAUTION
• The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may be illuminated if the
vehicle is moving around elec-
tric power supply cables or
radios transmitter such as at
police stations, government
Pressure
and public offices, broadcast-
ing stations, military installa-
tions, airports, or transmitting
towers, etc. This can interfere
with normal operation of the
Tyre
Pressure
System (TPMS).
• The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may be illuminated if snow
chains are used or some sep-
arate electronic devices such
as notebook computer, mobile
charger, remote starter
navigation etc., are used in the
vehicle. This can interfere with
normal operation of the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).
