Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms) Malfunction Indicator - Kia Sorento 2022 Manual

What to do in an emergency
added air, replace the low pressure
tyre with a spare tyre.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 25 km/h
after replacing the low pressure
tyre with the spare tyre, one of the
following will happen:
The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated because the
TPMS sensor is not mounted on
the spare wheel. (changed tyre
equipped with a sensor not in the
vehicle)
The TPMS malfunction indicator
will remain continuously illumi-
nated whilst driving because the
TPMS sensor is not mounted on
the spare wheel. (changed tyre
equipped with a sensor in the
vehicle)
CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the low
tyre pressure telltale may illumi-
nate if the tyre pressure was
adjusted to the recommended
tyre inflation pressure in warm
weather. It does not mean your
TPMS is malfunctioning because
the decreased temperature leads
to a lowering of tyre 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
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
higher or lower, you should check
the tyre inflation pressure and
adjust the tyres to the recom-
mended tyre inflation pressure.
When filling tyres with more air,
conditions to turn off the low tyre
pressure telltale may not be met.
This is because a tyre inflator has
a margin of error in performance.
The low tyre pressure telltale will
be turned off if the tyre pressure
is above the recommended tyre
inflation pressure.
WARNING
Low pressure damage
Significantly low tyre pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and can
contribute to loss of vehicle control
and increased braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure
tyres can cause the tyres to over-
heat and fail.

The TPMS malfunction indicator will
illuminate after it blinks for approxi-

problem with the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System.
In this case, have the system
