What to do in an emergency
F060200AHM-U1
TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
(if equipped)
The TPMS malfunction indicator
comes on and stays on when there is
a problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. If the system is
able to correctly detect an under-
inflation warning at the same time as
system failure then it will illuminate
both the TPMS malfunction and the
low tire pressure telltale e.g. if front
left sensor fails, the TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator turns on, but if front
right, rear left, or rear right tire is
under-inflated, the low tire pressure
telltale may turn on at the same time
as the TPMS malfunction indicator.
Have the system checked by an
authorized KIA dealer as soon as
possible to determine the cause of
the problem.
TPMS
CAUTION
The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may be illuminated if thevehicle is moving around elec-tric power supply cables orradio transmitter such as atpolice stations, governmentand public offices, broadcast-ing stations, military installa-tions, airports, or transmittingtowers, etc. This can interferewith normal operation of theTire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS).
(Continued)
(Continued) If there is a failed tire sensor, it is possible for the TPMS totemporarily learn a replace-ment sensor if closely drivento another vehicle that is alsoequipped with TPMS. In rarecases, this may temporarilydelay the TPMS malfunctionindicator from turning on.
The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may be illuminated if snowchains are used or some sep-arate electronic devices, suchas notebook computer, mobilecharger, remote starter or nav-igation etc., are used in thevehicle. This can interfere withnormal operation of the TyrePressure Monitoring System(TPMS).
