Low Tire Pressure Telltale - Kia CERATO 2018 Owner's Manual

NOTICE
If the TPMS indicator does not illu‐
minate for 3 seconds when the igni‐
tion switch is turned to the ON posi‐
tion or engine is running, or if it
comes on after blinking for approxi‐
mately one minute, have the system
checked by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an author‐
ized Kia dealer/service partner.
Low tire pressure
telltale
When the tire pressure
monitoring system warning
indicator is illuminated, one or more of
your tires is significantly under-infla‐
ted.
If the telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard corner‐
ing and anticipate increased stopping
distances. You should check your tires
as soon as possible. Inflate the tires to
the proper pressure as indicated on the
vehicle s placard or tire inflation pres‐
sure label located on the driver s side
center pillar outer panel. If you cannot
reach a service station or if the tire
cannot hold the newly added air, re‐
place the low pressure tire with the
spare tire.
Then the Low Tire Pressure telltale
may flash for approximately one mi‐
nute and then remain continuously illu‐
minated after restarting and about 20
minutes of continuous driving before
you have the low pressure tire repaired
and replaced on the vehicle.
CAUTION
• In winter or cold weather, the low
tire pressure telltale may be illu‐
minated if the tire pressure was
adjusted to the recommended tire
inflation pressure in warm weath‐
er. It does not mean your TPMS is
malfunctioning because the de‐
creased temperature leads to a
lowering of tire pressure.
• When you drive your vehicle from
a warm area to a cold area or from
a cold area to a warm area, or the
outside temperature is higher or
lower, you should check the tire in‐
flation pressure and adjust the
tires to the recommended cold tire
inflation pressure.
• When filling tires with more air,
conditions to turn off the low tire
pressure telltale may not be met.
This is because a tire inflator has a
margin of error in performance.
The low tire pressure telltale will
be turned off if the tire pressure is
above the recommended tire infla‐
tion pressure.
