2017 KIA OPTIMA PLUG-IN HYBRID ignition

Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not oper‐
ating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system de‐
tects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately 1 minute and then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon sub‐
sequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the TPMS
malfunction indicator remains illumina‐
ted after blinking for approximately 1 minute, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as in‐
tended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a va‐
riety of reasons, including the installa‐
tion of replacement or alternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to en‐
sure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTICE
If any of the below happens, we rec‐
ommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
1.The low tire pressure telltale/
TPMS malfunction indicator do
not illuminate for 3 seconds
when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position or en‐
gine is running.
2.The TPMS malfunction indicator
remains illuminated after blink‐
ing for approximately 1 minute.
3.The Low tire pressure position
telltale remains illuminated.

4. Unscrew the valve cap from thevalve of the flat tire and screw fill‐
ing hose (3) of the sealant bottle
onto the valve.
5. Insert the sealant bottle into the housing (5) of the compressor so
that the bottle is upright.
6. Ensure that the compressor is switched off, position 0.
WARNING
If sealant is dispersed when the in‐jection hose and tire air injectionvalve have not been fully connected,the sealant may overflow and clogthe valve.

7. Connect between compressor andthe vehicle power outlet using the
cable and connectors (4).
8. With the engine start/stop button position on or ignition switch posi‐
tion on, switch on the compressor
and let it run for approximately 5~7
minutes to fill the sealant up to
proper pressure. (refer to L

WARNING
nCarbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide poisoning and suf‐focation is possible if the engine isleft running in a poorly ventilated orunventilated location (such as insidea building).
Distributing the sealant
11. Immediately drive approximately7~10 km (4~6 miles or, about 10
min) to evenly distribute the seal‐
ant in the tire.
CAUTION
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h(50 mph). If possible, do not fall be‐low a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph).While driving, if you experience anyunusual vibration, ride disturbanceor noise, reduce your speed anddrive with caution until you cansafely pull off of the side of theroad. Call for road side service ortowing.

When you use the Tire Mobility Kit,the tire pressure sensors and wheelmay be stained by sealant. There‐fore, remove the tire pressure sen‐sors and wheel stained by sealantand we recommend to have it in‐spected by an authorized Kia dealer.
Checking the tire inflation
pressure
0+')
1. After driving approximately 7~10 km (4~6 miles, or about 10
minutes), stop at a suitable loca‐
tion. 2. Connect connection hose (10) of
the compressor directly to the tire
valve.
3. Connect between compressor and the vehicle battery using the cable
and connectors.
4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to 200 kPa (29 psi). With the ignition
switched on, proceed as follows. -
To increase the inflation pres‐sure: Switch on the compressor,
position I. To check the current
inflation pressure setting, briefly switch off the compressor.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run formore than 10 minutes, otherwisethe device will overheat and may bedamaged.
-To reduce the inflation pressure:
Press the button (9) on the com‐
pressor.

What to do in an emergency

TOWING
Towing service
0+'-
If emergency towing is necessary, we
recommend having it done by an au‐ thorized Kia dealer or a commercial
tow-truck service. Proper lifting and
towing procedures are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. The use
of wheel dollies (1) or flatbed is recom‐
mended. It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with
the rear wheels on the ground (without
dollies) and the front wheels off the
ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspen‐ sion components are damaged or the
vehicle is being towed with the front
wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly under the front wheels.
When being towed by a commercial
tow truck and wheel dollies are not
used, the front of the vehicle should al‐ ways be lifted, not the rear.
NOTICE
If the EPB does not release normally,
we recommend that you contact an
authorized Kia dealer.

CAUTION
•Do not tow the vehicle backwardswith the front wheels on theground as this may cause damageto the vehicle.
•Do not tow with sling-type equip‐ment. Use wheel lift or flatbedequipment.
When towing your vehicle in an emer‐
gency without wheel dollies: 1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC position.

What to do in an emergency

• Use a towing strap less than 5 m(16 feet) long. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches) wide) in the middle of the strap for easy
visibility.
• Drive carefully so that the towing strap is not loosened during towing.
Emergency towing precautions
• Turn the ignition switch to ACC so thesteering wheel isn’t locked.
• Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral).
• Release the parking bake. • Press the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.
• More steering effort will be required because the power steering system
will be disabled.
• If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake per‐formance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off.
CAUTION
nAutomatic transaxle
•If the car is being towed with allfour wheels on the ground, it canbe towed only from the front. Besure that the transaxle is in neu‐tral. Be sure the steering is un‐locked by placing the ignitionswitch in the ACC position. A drivermust be in the towed vehicle tooperate the steering and brakes.
•To avoid serious damage to theautomatic transaxle, limit the ve‐hicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph)and drive less than 1.5 km (1 mile)when towing.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Before towing, check the auto‐matic transaxle for fluid leaks un‐der your vehicle. If the automatictransaxle fluid is leaking, flatbedequipment or a towing dolly mustbe used.
