What to do in an emergency
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)
You may not be able to identify a
low tyre by simply looking at it.
Always use a good quality tyre
pressure gauge to measure the
tyre's inflation pressure. Please
note that a tyre that is hot (from
being driven) will have a higher
pressure measurement than a tyre
that is cold (from sitting stationary
for at least 3 hours and driven less
than 1 mile (1.6 km) during that 3
hour period).
Allow the tyre to cool before mea-
suring the inflation pressure. Always
be sure the tyre is cold before
inflating to the recommended pres-
sure.
A cold tyre means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven
for less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that
3 hour period.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
CAUTION
We recommend that you use the
sealant approved by Kia if your
vehicle is equipped with a Tyre Pres-
sure Monitoring System. The liquid
sealant can damage the tyre pres-
sure sensors.
WARNING
TPMS
The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tyre damage
caused by external factors such
as nails or road debris.
If you feel any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off
the accelerator, apply the brakes
gradually and with light force, and
slowly move to a safe position off
the road.
WARNING
Protecting TPMS
Tampering with, modifying, or dis-
abling the Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) components may
interfere with the system's ability
to warn the driver of low tyre pres-
sure conditions and/or TPMS mal-
functions. Tampering with,
modifying, or disabling the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may void the warranty
for that portion of the vehicle.
