What to do in an emergency
107
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tyre pressure,
even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tyre pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not oper-
ating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low
tyre pressure telltale. When the sys-
tem detects a malfunction, the telltale
will flash for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists. When
the TPMS malfunction indicator
remains illuminated after blinking for
approximately 1 minute, the system
may not be able to detect or signal
low tyre pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alter-
nate tyres or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from function-
ing properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing
one or more tyres or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replace-
ment or alternate tyres and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to func-
tion properly.

al workshop. Kia recommends to
