What to do in an emergency65TIRES PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)(1) Low Tire Pressure Indicator
(2) Low Tire Pressure PositionIndicator
(3) TPMS Malfunction Indicator
Each tire, including the spare, should
be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure rec-
ommended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. (If your vehi-
cle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure
label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.) As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure indicator and a low tire
pressure position indicator when one
or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the
low tire pressure indicator and a low
tire pressure indicator position indi-
cator illuminate, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to over-
heat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure
and position indicators.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is provided by a
separate indicator, which displays
the symbol "TPMS" when illuminat-
ed. When the malfunction indicator
is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pres-
sure as intended. TPMS malfunc-
tions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of
replacement or alternative tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
indicator after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function proper-
ly.

What to do in an emergency85TPMS (Tire pressure
monitoring system)
malfunction indicatorThe TPMS malfunction indicator
comes on and stays on when there is
a problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. If Front Left sen-
sor fails, the TPMS malfunction indica-
tor comes on, but if Front Right, Rear
Left, or Rear Right tire is under-inflat-
ed, the low tire pressure and position
indicators may come on together with
the TPMS malfunction indicator.
Have the system checked by an
authorized Kia dealer as soon as
possible to determine the cause of
the problem.
✽ ✽NOTICE• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if the vehicle is
moving around electric power
supply cable or radio transmitter
such as police stations, govern-
ment and public offices, broad-
casting stations, military installa-
tions, airports, or transmitting
tower, etc. this can interfere with
normal operation of the Tire
Monitoring System (TPMS).
• The TPMS malfunction indicator may be illuminated if some elec-
tronic devices, such as notebook
computer, are used in the vehicle.
This can interfere with normal
operation of the Tire Monitoring
System (TPMS).Changing a tire with TPMSIf you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and Position indicators will
come on. Have the flat tire repaired
by an authorized Kia dealer as soon
as possible or replace the flat tire
with the compact spare tire. NEVER
use a puncture-repairing agent to
repair and/or inflate a low pressure
tire. If used, you will have to replace
the tire pressure sensor. Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you always have
your tires serviced by an authorized
Kia dealer as soon as possible.
Even if you replace the low pressure
tire with the compact tire, the Low
Tire Pressure and Position indicators
will remain on when the low pressure
tire is in the vehicle. However, if the
low pressure tire is not in the vehicle,
the Low Tire Pressure and Position
indicators will go off and the TPMS
malfunction indicator will go on after
a few minutes because the compact
spare tire does not have a sensor.
Once the low pressure tire is re-
inflated to the recommended pres-
sure and installed on the vehicle, the
TPMS malfunction indicator and the
low tire pressure and position indica-
tors will extinguish within a few min-
utes.
If the indicators are not extinguished
after a few minutes, please visit an
authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING
- Low tire
pressure
Significantly low tire pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased braking
distances.
Continued driving on low pres-
sure tires will cause the tires to
overheat and fail.

4. Turn the wrench counterclockwiseuntil the spare tire reaches the
ground. After the spare tire reach-
es the ground, continue to turn the
wrench counterclockwise, and
draw the spare tire outside. Never
rotate the wrench excessively, oth-
erwise the spare tire carrier may
be damaged.
5. Remove the retainer from the cen- ter of the spare tire.
Storing the spare tire 1. Lay the tire on the ground with thevalve stem facing down.
2. Place the wheel under the vehicle and install the retainer through the
wheel center.
3. Turn the wrench clockwise until it clicks.
WARNING
Ensure the spare tire retainer is
properly aligned with the center
of the spare tire to prevent the
spare tire “rattling”. Otherwise, it
may cause the spare tire to fall
off the carrier and lead to an
accident.

What to do in an emergency
 Do not take this vehicle through anautomatic car wash while the com-
pact spare tire is installed.
 Do not use tire chains on the com- pact spare tire. Because of the
smaller size, a tire chain will not fit
properly. This could damage the
vehicle and result in loss of the
chain.
 The compact spare tire should not be installed on the front axle if the
vehicle must be driven in snow or
on ice.
 Do not use the compact spare tire on any other vehicle because this
tire has been designed especially
for your vehicle.
 The compact spare tire’s tread life is shorter than a regular tire.
Inspect your compact spare tire
regularly and replace worn com-
pact spare tires with the same size
and design, mounted on the same
wheel.
Changing tires Jacking instructions The jack is provided for emergency
tire changing only.
To prevent the jack from “rattling”
while the vehicle is in motion, lower
the jack to the lowest position, place
the jack in the luggage side trim and
turn the wing bolt (1) clockwise firmly.
Make sure the jack is secured firmly
by trying to move the jack forward
and backward. Follow jacking instructions to reduce
the possibility of personal injury.
WARNING
- Changing
tires
 Never attempt vehicle repairs in the traffic lanes of a public
road or highway.
 Always move the vehicle com- pletely off the road and onto
the shoulder before trying to
change a tire. The jack should
be used on level firm ground.
If you cannot find a firm, level
place off the road, call a tow-
ing service company for
assistance.
 Be sure to use the correct front and rear jacking posi-
tions on the vehicle; never use
the bumpers or any other part
of the vehicle for jack support.

58. Insert the jack handle into the jack
and turn it clockwise, raising the
vehicle until the tire just clears the
ground. This measurement is
approximately 30 mm (1.2 in).
Before removing the wheel lug
nuts, make sure the vehicle is sta-
ble and that there is no chance for
movement or slippage.
9. Remove the wheel lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise,
then remove the wheel.
10. Mount the spare tire into position and install the wheel lug nuts
with the beveled edge inward. 11. Once the wheel lug nuts have
been tightened, lower the vehicle
fully to the ground and continue to
tighten the lug nuts until they are
fully secured. Tighten the wheel
lug nuts firmly in a “ ” pattern.
If you are unsure of the tightness
of the wheel lug nuts, have them
checked at the nearest service
station. The specified tightening
torque is 9~11 kgm (65-79 lbft,
88-107 Nm). Improperly tight-
ened wheel lug nuts could cause
brake pedal vibration while brak-
ing.
CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on the wheel studs and nuts.Make certain during wheelremoval that the same nutsremoved are reinstalled - or, ifreplaced, that nuts with metricthreads and the same chamferconfiguration are used.Installation of a non-metricthread nut on a metric stud orvice-versa will not secure thewheel to the hub properly andwill damage the stud so that itmust be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do nothave metric threads. Be sure touse extreme care in checkingfor thread style before installingaftermarket lug nuts or wheels.If in doubt, consult anAuthorized Kia Dealer.
