ommended tire inflation pressure in
warm weather. It does not mean your
TPMS is malfunctioning because the
decreased temperature leads to a pro

portional lowering of tire pressure.
You should check the tire inflation pres

TPMS malfunction indicator

TPMS malfunction indicator.)
Have the system checked by an autho

rized Kia dealer as soon as possible to
determine the cause of the problem.
僅 The TPMS malfunction indicator may
be appeared if the vehicle is moving
around electric power supply cables
or radios transmitters such as near
