Tpms (Tire Pressure Monitoring System); Malfunction Indicator - Kia Carens 2014 Manual

WARNING
- Low
pressure
damage
Significantly low tire pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased braking
distances.
Continued driving on low pres-
sure tires can cause the tires to
overheat and fail.
TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)

malfunction indicator

The low tire pressure telltale will illu-
minate after it blinks for approximate-
ly one minute when there is a prob-
lem with the Tire
Monitoring System. If the system is
able to correctly detect an underinfla-
tion warning at the same time as sys-
tem failure then it will illuminate both
the TPMS malfunction and low tire
pressure telltales e.g. if Front Left
sensor fails, the TPMS malfunction
indicator illuminates, but if the Front
Right, Rear Left, or Rear Right tire is
under-inflated, the low tire pressure
telltales may illuminate together with
the TPMS malfunction indicator.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer to
determine the cause of the problem.
What to do in an emergency
CAUTION
• The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may be illuminated if the
vehicle is moving around elec-
tric power supply cables or
radios transmitter such as at
police stations, government
Pressure and public offices, broadcast-
ing stations, military installa-
tions, airports, or transmitting
towers, etc. This can interfere
with normal operation of the
Tire Pressure
System (TPMS).
• The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may be illuminated if snow
chains are used or some sep-
arate electronic devices such
as notebook computer, mobile
charger, remote starter
navigation etc., are used in the
vehicle. This can interfere with
normal operation of the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).
