What to do in an emergency
127
TPMS (Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator will
illuminate after it blinks for approxi-
mately one minute when there is a
problem with the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System.
In this case, have the system checked
by a professional workshop to deter-
mine the cause of the problem. Kia
recommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
NOTICE
If there is a malfunction with the
TPMS, the low tyre pressure posi-
tion telltale will not be displayed
even though the vehicle has an
under-inflated tyre.
CAUTION
• In winter or cold weather, the
low tyre pressure telltale may
illuminate if the tyre pressure
was adjusted to the recom-
mended tyre inflation pres-
sure in warm weather. It does
not mean your TPMS is mal-
functioning because the
decreased temperature leads
to a lowering of tyre pressure.
• When you drive your vehicle
from a warm area to a cold
area or from a cold area to a
warm area, or the outside tem-
perature is higher or lower,
you should check the tyre
inflation pressure and adjust
the tyres to the recommended
tyre inflation pressure.

• When filling tyres with more
air, conditions to turn off the
low tyre pressure 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 recommended
tyre inflation pressure.
WARNING - Low pressure
damage
Significantly low tyre pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased braking
distances.
Continued driving on low pres-
sure tyres can cause the tyres
to overheat and fail.
