Kia Sorento 2023 Manual page 500

What to do in an emergency
measure the tyre's inflation pressure.
Please note that a tyre that is hot (from
being driven) will have a higher pressure
measurement than a tyre that is cold
(from sitting stationary for at least 3
hours and driven less than 1 mile (1.6
km) during that 3 hour period).
Allow the tyre to cool before measuring
the inflation pressure. Always be sure
the tyre is cold before inflating to the
recommended pressure.
A cold tyre means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours and driven for less
than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3 hour period.
CAUTION
We recommend that you use the sealant
approved by Kia if your vehicle is
equipped with a Tyre Pressure Monitor-
ing System. The liquid sealant can dam-
age the tyre pressure sensors.
WARNING
TPMS
僅 The TPMS cannot alert you to severe
and sudden tyre damage caused by
external factors such as nails or road
debris.
僅 If you feel any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off the
accelerator, apply the brakes gradu-
ally and with light force, and slowly
move to a safe position off the road.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
WARNING
Protecting TPMS
Tampering with, modifying, or disabling
the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) components may interfere with
the system's ability to warn the driver of
low tyre pressure conditions and/or
TPMS malfunctions. Tampering with,
modifying, or disabling the Tyre Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS) compo-
nents may void the warranty for that
portion of the vehicle.
WARNING
