CAUTION - Low Fuel
Level
Driving with the Low Fuel Level
warning light on or with the fuellevel below “0 or E” can cause the engine to misfire and dam-age the catalytic converter (ifequipped).
WARNING - Safe Stopping
The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and sudden tyre dam-
age caused by external factors.
If you notice any vehicle insta- bility, immediately take your
foot off the accelerator pedal,
apply the brakes gradually with
light force, and slowly move to
a safe position off the road.

What to do in an emergency
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (IF EQUIPPED)
Low tyre pressure telltale / TPMS malfunction indicator Each tyre, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthlywhen cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-ard or tyre inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tyres of a differ-
ent size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tyre inflation
pressure label, you should determine
the proper tyre inflation pressure for
those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tyrepressure telltale when one or more
of your tyres is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tyre pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tyres as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-nificantly under-inflated tyre causes
the tyre to overheat and can lead to
tyre failure. Under-inflation alsoreduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling and stopping ability.Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-bility to maintain correct tyre pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tyre pressure
telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator toindicate when the system is not oper-
ating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low
tyre pressure telltale. When the sys-tem detects a malfunction, the telltale
will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle start-
ups as long as the malfunction exists.When the malfunction indicator is illu-
minated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tyre pressure
as intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, includ-ing the installation of replacement or
alternate tyres or wheels on the vehi-
cle that prevent the TPMS from func-
tioning properly. Always check theTPMS malfunction telltale afterreplacing one or more tyres or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tyres
and wheels allow the TPMS to con-
tinue to function properly.✽✽
NOTICE
If the TPMS, Low Tyre Pressure
indicator do not illuminate for 3 sec-
onds when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position or engine
is running, or if they remain illumi-
nated after coming on for approxi-
mately 3 seconds, have the system
checked by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.Low tyre pressure telltale
When the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated, one or more of your tyres issignificantly under-inflated.
If the telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cor-
nering and anticipate increased stop-
ping distances. You should stop and
check your tyres as soon as possi-
ble. Inflate the tyres to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label located on the driver’s side
centre pillar outer panel. If you can-
not reach a service station or if the
tyre cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tyre with
the spare tyre.

What to do in an emergency
Then the TPMS malfunction indicator
and the Low Tyre Pressure telltale
may turn on and illuminate after
restarting and about 20 minutes of
continuous driving before you have
the low pressure tyre repaired and
replaced on the vehicle.
CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, thelow tyre pressure telltale maybe illuminated if the tyre pres-sure was adjusted to the rec-ommended tyre inflation pres- sure in warm weather. It doesnot mean your TPMS is mal-functioning because thedecreased temperature leads to a proportional lowering oftyre pressure.
(Continued)
(Continued) When you drive your vehicle from a warm area to a cold areaor from a cold area to a warm area, or the outside tempera-ture is greatly higher or lower,you should check the tyre infla-tion pressure and adjust the tyres to the recommended tyreinflation pressure.
When filling tyres with more air, conditions to turn off thelow tyre pressure telltale may not be met. This is because atyre inflator has a margin oferror in performance. The low tyre pressure telltale will beturned off if the tyre pressureis above the recommended tyre inflation pressure.WARNING - Low pressure
damage
Significantly low tyre pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased brakingdistances.
Continued driving on low pres- sure tyres can cause the tyres
to overheat and fail.

TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)malfunction indicator
The low tyre pressure telltale will illu-
minate after it blinks for approximate-
ly one minute when there is a prob-
lem with the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System. If the system is
able to correctly detect an underinfla-
tion warning at the same time as sys-
tem failure then it will illuminate both
the TPMS malfunction and low tyre
pressure telltales e.g. if Front Left
sensor fails, the TPMS malfunction
indicator illuminates, but if the FrontRight, Rear Left, or Rear Right tyre is
under-inflated, the low tyre pressure
telltales may illuminate together with
the TPMS malfunction indicator.
In this case, have the system checked
by a professional workshop to deter-
mine the cause of the problem. Kia
recommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner. Changing a tyre with TPMS
If you have a flat tyre, the low tyre
Pressure and Position telltales willcome on.
In this case, have the system
checked by a professional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner. Each wheel is equipped with a tyre pressure sensor mounted inside the
tyre behind the valve system. You
must use TPMS specific wheels.
Have your tyres serviced by a pro-
fessional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.CAUTION
The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may be illuminated if thevehicle is moving around elec- tric power supply cables orradios transmitter such as atpolice stations, government and public offices, broadcast-ing stations, military installa-tions, airports, or transmitting towers, etc. This can interferewith normal operation of theTyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may be illuminated if snowchains are used or some sep-arate electronic devices such as notebook computer, mobilecharger, remote starter ornavigation etc., are used in the vehicle. This can interfere withnormal operation of the TyrePressure Monitoring System(TPMS).
CAUTION
We recommend that you use the sealant approved by Kia.
The sealant on the tyre pressuresensor and wheel shall be elim-inated when you replace the tyre with a new one.
