僅 Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms) Malfunction; 僅 Changing A Tyre With Tpms - Kia Sportage Hybrid 2024 Owner's Manual

What to do in an emergency
to loss of vehicle control and increased
braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure tyres
can cause the tyres to overheat and fail.
CAUTION
僅 In winter or cold weather, the low tyre
pressure telltale may illuminate if the
tyre pressure was adjusted to the rec -
ommended 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.
僅 When you drive your vehicle from a
warm area to a cold area or from a
cold area to a warm area, or the out -
side temperature is higher or lower,
you should check the tyre inflation
pressure and adjust the tyres to the
recommended tyre inflation pressure.
僅 When filling tyres with more air, con -
ditions to turn off the low tyre pres -
sure 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 recom -
mended tyre inflation pressure.

mitter such as at police stations, gov -
ernment and public offices,
broadcasting stations, military instal -
lations, airports, or transmitting tow -
ers, etc. This can interfere with normal
operation of the Tyre Pressure Moni -
toring System (TPMS).
僅 The TPMS malfunction indicator may
blink for approximately 1 minute and

if snow chains are used or some sepa -
rate electronic devices such as note -
book computer, mobile charger,
