What to do in an emergency
僅 The TPMS malfunction indicator may
blink for approximately 1 minute and
then remain continuously appeared
because the TPMS sensor is not
mounted on the spare wheel.
(changed tyre equipped with a sensor
not in the vehicle)
僅 The TPMS malfunction indicator will
remain continuously appeared whilst
driving because the TPMS sensor is
not mounted on the spare wheel.

in the vehicle)
CAUTION
僅 In winter or cold weather, the low tyre
pressure telltale may appear if the
tyre pressure was adjusted to the rec-
ommended tyre inflation pressure in
warm weather. It does not mean your
TPMS is malfunctioning because the
decreased temperature leads to a
lowering of tyre pressure.
僅 When you drive your vehicle from a
warm area to a cold area or from a
cold area to a warm area, or the out-
side temperature is higher or lower,
you should check the tyre inflation
pressure and adjust the tyres to the
recommended tyre inflation pressure.
僅 When filling tyres with more air, con-
ditions to turn off the low tyre pres-
sure telltale may not be met. This is
because a tyre inflator has a margin
of error in performance. The low tyre
pressure telltale will be turned off if
the tyre pressure is above the recom-
mended tyre inflation pressure.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
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 pressure tyres
can cause the tyres to overheat and fail.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator will
appear after it blinks for approximately
one minute when there is a problem with
the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.
In this case, have the system checked by
a professional workshop to determine
the cause of the problem. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/
service partner.
NOTICE
If there is a malfunction with the TPMS,
the low tyre pressure position telltale will
not be displayed even though the vehi-
cle has an underinflated tyre.
CAUTION
僅 The TPMS malfunction indicator may
blink for approximately 1 minute and
then remain continuously appeared if
the vehicle is moving around electric
power supply cables or radios trans-
mitter such as at police stations, gov-
ernment and public offices,
broadcasting stations, military instal-
lations, airports, or transmitting tow-
ers, etc. This can interfere with normal
operation of the Tyre Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS).
