What to do in an emergency Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
tyre maintenance. It is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tyre
pressure, and all tyres should be
checked monthly to maintain the rec
-
ommended pressure.
僅 The warning light may illuminate if the
system is not set in required situa
-
tions.
僅 In cold weather, the low tyre pressure
warning light may illuminate even if
the tyre was adjusted to the proper
pressure. It does not mean your TPMS
in malfunctioning because the
decreased temperature leads to a
lowering of tyre pressure. Check the
tyres and adjust to the recommended
pressure.
僅 System performance may reduce in
the following situations.
- Improper system setting
- Using tyres on the market (Original
tyre recommended)
- Driving on snowy, slippery, or
unpaved roads
- Hard cornering, rapid accelerating
and braking repeatedly
- Driving too slow or fast
- If the vehicle is overloaded
- If a spare tyre or snow chain is
installed
僅 When filling tyres with more air, con
-
ditions to turn off the low tyre pres
-
sure 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 recom
-
mended tyre inflation pressure.
WARNING
僅 Driving with an under-inflated tyre
causes the tyre to overheat and lead
to tyre failure. It also reduces tyre
tread life, handling of the vehicle,
braking ability, and fuel efficiency,
causing instability of the vehicle. In
this case, contact professional work
-
shop to maintain proper tyre pres
-
sure. Kia recommends to contact an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
僅 Sudden damage to the tyre caused by
external factors may not be indicated
immediately. If the vehicle is unstable,
immediately remove your foot off the
accelerator pedal, move the vehicle to
a safe position for inspection.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
malfunction
The TPMS malfunction indicator will illu
-
minate ( ) after it blinks for approxi
-
mately 1 minute when there is a problem
with the Tyre Pressure Monitoring Sys
-
tem. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists.
If the indicator remains illuminated or
illuminates even after TPMS setting,
have the system checked by a profes
-
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
WARNING
僅 If there is a malfunction with the
TPMS, low tyre pressure will not be
indicated. In this case, have the sys
-
tem serviced by a professional work
-
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
僅 If the system does not work due to
TPMS removal or installation of
related parts with different specifica
-
tion, it might be a problem when the
vehicle is being regularly inspected.
