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-

ers, etc. This can interfere with normal
operation of the Tyre Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS).
