僅 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms) Malfunction Indicator - Kia Sportage 2024 Owner's Manual

What to do in an emergency
before you have the low pressure tire
repaired and replaced on the vehicle.
In winter or cold weather, the low tire
pressure telltale may appear if the tire
pressure was adjusted to the recom -
mended tire inflation pressure in warm
weather. It does not mean your TPMS is
malfunctioning because the decreased
temperature leads to a proportional low -
ering of tire pressure.
You should check the tire inflation pres -
sure and adjust the tires to the recom -
mended tire inflation pressure when
driving your vehicle in the following con -
ditions.
僅 from a warm area to a cold area
僅 from a cold area to a warm area
僅 the outside temperature is extremely
high or low
When filling tires with more air, condi -
tions to turn off the low tire pressure tell -
tale may not be met. This is because a
tire inflator has a margin of error in per -
formance. The low tire pressure telltale
will be turned off if the tire pressure is
above the recommended tire inflation
pressure.
WARNING
Low pressure damage
Do not drive on low pressure tires. Sig -
nificantly low tire pressure can cause the
tires to overheat and fail, making the
vehicle unstable, resulting in increased
braking distances and a loss of vehicle
control.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) malfunction indicator
The low tire pressure telltale will appear
after it blinks for approximately one min -
ute when there is a problem with the
TPMS.
If the system is able to correctly detect
an underinflation warning at the same
time as system failure, it will appear both
the TPMS malfunction and the low tire
pressure position telltales. For example,
if the Front Left sensor fails, the TPMS
malfunction indicator appears, but if the
Front Right, Rear Left, or Rear Right tire
is underinflated, the low tire pressure
position telltales may appear together
with the TPMS malfunction indicator.
Have the system checked by an autho -
rized Kia dealer as soon as possible to
determine the cause of the problem.
僅 The TPMS malfunction indicator may
appear if the vehicle is moving around
electric power supply cables or radios
transmitters such as at police stations,
government and public offices, broad -
casting stations, military installations,
airports, or transmitting towers, etc.
This can interfere with normal opera -
tion of the TPMS.
僅 The TPMS malfunction indicator may
appear if the vehicle is equipped with
snow chains or some personal elec -
tronic devices (such as a laptop com -
puter, mobile charger, remote starter
or navigation) are being used in the
vehicle. This can interfere with normal
operation of the TPMS.
