What to do in an emergency
cator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately 1 minute and
then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the TPMS mal-
function indicator remains illuminated
after blinking for approximately 1 min-
ute, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a vari-
ety of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
NOTICE
If the TPMS, Low Tire Pressure indicator
does not illuminate for 3 seconds when
the ignition switch or ENGINE START/
STOP button is turned to the ON posi-
tion, or if it they remain illuminated after
coming on for approximately 3 seconds,
take your vehicle to your nearest autho-
rized Kia dealer and have the system
checked.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (Type B)
Low tire pressure telltale
WBH-11
Low tire pressure position information
OCD061055L
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.
