2018 KIA CARENS Owners Manual

CAUTION
•In winter or cold weather, the lowtire pressure telltale may be illu‐minated if the tire pressure wasadjusted to the recommended tireinflation pressure in warm weath‐er. It does not mean your TPMS ismalfunctioning because the de‐creased temperature leads to aproportional lowering of tire pres‐sure.
•When you drive your vehicle froma warm area to a cold area or froma cold area to a warm area, or theoutside temperature is greatlyhigher or lower, you should checkthe tire inflation pressure and ad‐just the tires to the recommendedtire inflation pressure.
•When filling tires with more air,conditions to turn off the low tirepressure telltale may not be met.This is because a tire inflator has amargin of error in performance.The low tire pressure telltale willbe turned off if the tire pressure isabove the recommended tire infla‐tion pressure.
WARNING
nLow pressure damage
Significantly low tire pressure makesthe vehicle unstable and can contrib‐ute to loss of vehicle control and in‐creased braking distances.Continued driving on low pressuretires can cause the tires to overheatand fail.

We recommend that you use thesealant approved by Kia if your vehi‐cle is equipped with a Tire PressureMonitoring System. The liquid seal‐ant can damage the tire pressuresensors.
WARNING
nTPMS
•The TPMS cannot alert you to se‐vere and sudden tire damagecaused by external factors such asnails or road debris.
•If you feel any vehicle instability,immediately take your foot off theaccelerator, apply the brakes grad‐ually and with light force, andslowly move to a safe position offthe road.

Tampering with, modifying, or disa‐bling the Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS) components may in‐terfere with the system's ability towarn the driver of low tire pressureconditions and/or TPMS malfunc‐tions. Tampering with, modifying, ordisabling the Tire Pressure Monitor‐ing System (TPMS) components mayvoid the warranty for that portion ofthe vehicle.
WARNING
nFor EUROPE
•Do not modify the vehicle, it mayinterfere with the TPMS function.
•The wheels on the market do nothave a TPMS sensor.For your safety, use parts for re‐placement from a professionalworkshop. Kia recommends to visitan authorized Kia dealer/servicepartner.
