Effective Use Of The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms) - Kia Soul 2022 Owner's Manual

What to do in an emergency
Tire pressure is displayed 1~2
minutes later after driving.
If tire pressure is not displayed
when the vehicle is stopped,
"Drive to display" message dis -
plays. After driving, check the tire
pressure.
You can change the tire pressure
unit in the user settings mode on
the cluster.
- psi, kPa, bar (Refer to "User
settings mode" on page 4-56).
NOTICE
The tire pressure may change due
to factors such as parking condi -
tion, driving style, and altitude
above sea level.
The tire pressure shown on the
dashboard may differ from the
tire pressure measured by tire
pressure gauge.
Effective Use of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if pro -
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the infla -
tion pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure
label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a differ -
ent size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should deter -

mine the proper tire inflation pres -
sure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more
of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehi -
cle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte -
nance, and it is the driver's respon -
sibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger illu -
mination of the TPMS low tire pres -
sure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator
to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal -
function indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approxi -
mately one minute and then remain
