Features of your vehicle

Low tire pressure indi-

cator / TPMS malfunc-

tion indicator

The low tire pressure telltale comes

on for 3 seconds after the ignition

switch is turned to the "ON" position.

The low tire pressure telltale illumi-

nates when one or more of your tires

is significantly underinflated.

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 Pressure

Monitoring System.

If this occurs, have the system

checked by an authorized Kia dealer

as soon as possible.

If the warning light illuminates while

driving, reduce vehicle speed imme-

diately and stop the vehicle. Avoid

hard braking and overcorrecting the

steering wheel. Inflate the tires to the

proper pressure as indicated on the

vehicle’s tire information placard.

• The TPMS cannot alert you to

severe and sudden tire damage

caused by external factors.

• If you feel any vehicle instability,

immediately take your foot off the

accelerator, apply the brakes grad-

ually and with light force, and slow-

ly move to a safe position off the

road.

Charging system warn-

ing light

This warning light indicates a mal-

function of either the generator or

electrical charging system.

If the warning light illuminates while

the vehicle is in motion:

1. Drive to the nearest safe location.

2. With the engine off, check the gen-

erator drive belt for looseness or

breakage.

3. If the belt is adjusted properly, a

problem exists somewhere in the

electrical charging system. Have

an authorized Kia dealer correct

the problem as soon as possible.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System indicator (if equipped)

WARNING - Low tire

pressure

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 will cause the tires to

overheat and fail.
