What to do in an emergency
Type B
OJA060040R
Check the pressure of all tyre and inflate
to the proper pressure according to pro-
cedures, and if required, replace or
repair the tyre.
If you cannot reach a close service sta-
tion, stop the vehicle at a safe place,
check all tyre and operate the TPMS set-
ting procedure. If you are unable to
adjust the tyre pressure, use the repair
tools to repair or change to spare tyre
and contact a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to call an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
You may not be able to identify low tyre
pressure visually. Use precise tools to
measure and adjust tyre pressure.
Please note that a tyre that is hot due to
prolonged driving, therefore will have
high pressure. We recommend you to
measure and adjust the tyre pressure
after the vehicle has driven for less than
1.6km (1mile) within 3 hours.
CAUTION
僅 The indicator may remain illuminated
after changing to a spare tyre,
because radius of spare tyre is differ-
ent. Be sure to change to a regular
tyre.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
僅 For safe driving, please note that the
TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tyre maintenance. It is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tyre
pressure, and all tyres should be
checked monthly to maintain the rec-
ommended pressure.
僅 The warning light may illuminate if the
system is not set in required situa-
tions.
僅 In cold weather, the low tyre pressure
warning light may illuminate even if
the tyre was adjusted to the proper
pressure. It does not mean your TPMS
in malfunctioning because the
decreased temperature leads to a
lowering of tyre pressure. Check the
tyres and adjust to the recommended
pressure.
僅 System performance may reduce in
the following situations.
- Improper system setting
- Using tyres on the market (Original
tyre recommended)
- Driving on snowy, slippery, or
unpaved roads
- Hard cornering, rapid accelerating
and braking repeatedly
- Driving too slow or fast
- If the vehicle is overloaded
- If a spare tyre or snow chain is
installed
WARNING
僅 Driving with an under-inflated tyre
causes the tyre to overheat and lead
to tyre failure. It also reduces tyre
tread life, handling of the vehicle,
braking ability, and fuel efficiency,
causing instability of the vehicle. In
this case, contact professional work-
shop to maintain proper tyre pres-
