What to do in an emergency
coming on for approximately 3 seconds,
take your vehicle to your nearest autho-
rized Kia dealer and have the system
checked.
Low tire pressure telltale
WBH-11
When the tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem warning indicators are illuminated
and warning message displayed on the
cluster LCD display, one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated.
If the telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cornering
and anticipate increased stopping dis-
tances. You should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible.
Inflate the tires to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle's placard or tire
inflation pressure 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,
replace the low pressure tire with the
spare tire.
Then the TPMS malfunction indicator
and the Low Tire Pressure telltale may
turn on and illuminate after restarting
and about 20 minutes of continuous
driving before you have the low pres-
sure tire repaired and replaced on the
vehicle.
In winter or cold weather, the low tire
pressure telltale may be illuminated if
the tire pressure was adjusted to the rec-
ommended tire inflation pressure in
warm weather. It does not mean your
TPMS is malfunctioning because the
decreased temperature leads to a pro-
portional lowering of tire pressure.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (Type A)
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 tem-
perature is greatly higher or lower, you
should check the tire inflation pressure
and adjust the tires to the recommended
tire inflation pressure.
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.
