Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Indication of Low Tyre Pressure
Thetyre ( ) warning light will illu
-
minate when an under-inflated tyre
is indicated. In certain types, the
above message might be displayed
on the cluster.
If the warning light illuminates,
reduce your speed, avoid hard cor
-
nering and rapid braking. Have your
vehicle inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
Check the pressure of all tyres and
inflate to the proper pressure
according to procedures, and if
required, replace or repair the tyres.
If you cannot reach a close service
station, stop the vehicle at a safe
place, check all tyres and operate
the TPMS setting procedure. If you
are unable to adjust the tyre pres
-
sure, use the repair tools to repair
or change to spare tyre and contact
a professional workshop.

You may not be able to identify low
tyre pressure visually. Use precise
tools to measure and adjust tyre
pressure. Please note that a tyre
that is hot due to prolonged driving,
therefore will have high pressure.
We recommend you to measure and
adjust the tyre pressure after the
vehicle has driven for less than
1.6km (1 mile) within 3 hours.
䳜 The indicator may remain illumi
-
nated after changing to a spare
tyre, because radius of spare tyre
is different. Be sure to change to
a regular tyre.
䳜 For safe driving, please note that
the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tyre maintenance. It is the
driver䳓s responsibility to maintain
correct tyre pressure, and all
tyres should be checked monthly
to maintain the recommended
pressure.
䳜 The warning light may illuminate
if the system is not set in required
situations.
䳜 In cold weather, the low tyre
pressure warning light may illumi
-
nate even if the tyre was adjusted
to the proper pressure. It does
not mean your TPMS in malfunc

tioning because the decreased
temperature leads to a lowering
