What to do in an emergency

106

TPMS (Tire Pressure

Monitoring System)

malfunction indicator

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 the system is able to cor-

rectly detect an underinflation warn-

ing at the same time as system fail-

ure then it will illuminate both the

TPMS malfunction and low tire pres-

sure telltales e.g. if Front Left sensor

fails, the TPMS malfunction indicator

illuminates, but if the Front Right,

Rear Left, or Rear Right tire is under-

inflated, the low tire pressure telltales

may illuminate together with the

TPMS malfunction indicator.

Have the system checked by an

authorized Kia dealer as soon as

possible to determine the cause of

the problem.

• The TPMS malfunction indicator

may be illuminated if the vehicle is

moving around electric power sup-

ply cables or radios transmitter

such as at police stations, govern-

ment and public offices, broadcast-

ing stations, military installations,

airports, or transmitting towers,

etc. This can interfere with normal

operation of the Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS).

• The TPMS malfunction indicator

may be illuminated if snow chains

are used or some separate elec-

tronic devices such as notebook

computer, mobile charger, remote

starter or navigation etc., are used

in the vehicle. This can interfere

with normal operation of the Tire

Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS).

WARNING

- Low pressure damage

Do not drive on low pressure

tires. Significantly low tire pres-

sure can cause the tires to over-

heat and fail making the vehicle

unstable resulting in increased

braking distances and a loss of

vehicle control.
