when:
1.The first stage alert is on
2.The turn signal is on to change alane When the second stage alert is acti-
vated, a warning light will blink on the
outside rearview mirror, the head up
display and an alarm will sound.
If you move the turn signal switch to
the original position, the second
stage alert will be deactivated.
- The second stage alarm may be
deactivated.
To activate the alarm: Go to the User Settings Mode
Sound and select "BSD" on the
LCD display.
To deactivate the alarm: Go to the User Settings Mode
Sound and deselect "BSD" on the

Warning type
If the vehicle detected by the sen-sors approaches your vehicle, the
warning chime will sound, the
warning light on the outside
rearview mirror will blink and a
message will appear on the LCD
display. If the detected vehicle is out of the
sensing range of your vehicle,
move the vehicle away from the
detected object slowly; the warning
will be cancelled.
The system may not operate prop- erly due to other factors or circum-
stances. Always pay attention to
your surrounding.
❈ If your vehicle's left or right side
bumper is blinded by barrier or
vehicles, the system sensing abili-
ty may be reduced.

The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) and Rear Cross

substitute for proper and safe
driving. Always drive safely and
use caution when changing
lanes or backing the vehicles
up. The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) may not detect
every object alongside the vehi-

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
(1) Low Tire Pressure Telltale/TPMSMalfunction Indicator
(2) Low Tire Pressure Position Telltale (shown on the LCD display)
Check tire pressure
You can check the tire pressure inthe Information Mode on the clus-
ter.
- Refer to "User Settings Mode" in chapter 4.
Tire pressure is displayed 1~2 min- utes after driving.
You can change the tire pressure unit in the User Settings Mode on
the cluster.
- psi, kpa, bar (Refer to "User Settings Mode" in chapter 4). Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-
ard or tire inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-
sure 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
telltale when one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pres-
sure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and
may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.

Low tire pressure telltale
Low tire pressure position tell-
tale
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated and warning message dis-
played on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. The low tire
pressure position telltale light will
indicate which tire is significantly
under-inflated by illuminating the cor-
responding position light.If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tires to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tire inflation pressure
label located on the driver’s side cen-
ter pillar outer panel.
If you cannot reach a service station
or if the tire cannot hold the newly
added air, replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire.
If you drive the vehicle for about 20
minutes at speeds above 15 mph (25
km/h) after replacing the low pres-
sure tire with the spare tire, the
below will happen:
The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illumi-
nated because the TPMS sensor is
not mounted on the spare wheel.
✽ NOTICE
The spare tire is not equipped with a
tire pressure sensor.
In winter or cold weather, the low
tire pressure telltale may be illumi-
nated if the tire pressure was
adjusted to the recommended tire
inflation pressure in warm weather.
It does not mean your TPMS is
malfunctioning because the
decreased temperature leads to a
proportional lowering of tire pres-
sure.
When you drive your vehicle from a warm area to a cold area or from a
cold area to a warm area, or the
outside temperature is greatly
higher or lower, you should check
the tire inflation pressure and
adjust the tires to the recommend-
ed tire inflation pressure.
When filling tires with more air, conditions to turn off the low tire
pressure telltale may not be met.
This is because a tire inflator has a
margin of error in performance.
The low tire pressure telltale will be
turned off if the tire pressure is
above the recommended tire infla-
tion pressure.

What to do in an emergency
The tire pressure may varydepending on various factors
including the temperature condi-
tions of parking area, driving condi-
tions and ambient temperature,
altitude above sea level.
The tire pressure displayed on the instrument panel may be different
from the tire pressure measured by
a tire pressure gauge.TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator will
illuminate after it blinks for approxi-
mately one minute when there is a
problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System.
Have the system checked by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer as soon
as possible to determine the cause
of the problem.
✽ NOTICE
If there is a malfunction with the
TPMS, the low tire pressure position
telltale will not be displayed even
though the vehicle has an under-
inflated tire.
The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated if the vehicle is
moving around electric power sup-
ply cables or radio transmitter such
as at police stations, government
and public offices, broadcasting
stations, military installations, air-
ports, or transmitting towers, etc.
This can interfere with normal
operation of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
The TPMS malfunction indicator may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated if the snow
chains are used or some separate
electronic devices such as note-
book computer, mobile charger,
remote starter or navigation etc.,
are used in the vehicle. This can
interfere with normal operation of
the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS).
Low pressure damage
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 can cause the tires to
overheat and fail.

Wheel size designation
Wheels are also marked with impor-
tant information that you need if you
ever have to replace one. The follow-
ing explains what the letters and
numbers in the wheel size designa-
tion mean.
Example wheel size designation:
8.0JX19
8.0 - Rim width in inches.
J - Rim contour designation.
19 - Rim diameter in inches. Tire speed ratings
The chart below lists many of the dif-
ferent speed ratings currently being
used for passenger car tires. The
speed rating is part of the tire size
designation on the sidewall of the
tire. This symbol corresponds to that
tire's designed maximum safe oper-
ating speed. 3. Checking tire life (TIN : Tire
Identification Number)
Any tires that are over 6 years old,
based on the manufacturing date,
(including the spare tire) should be
replaced by new ones. You can find
the manufacturing date on the tire
sidewall (possibly on the inside of the
wheel), displaying the DOT Code.
The DOT Code is a series of num-
bers on a tire consisting of numbers
and English letters. The manufactur-
ing date is designated by the last four
digits (characters) of the DOT code.
DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOO
The front part of the DOT means a
plant code number, tire size and
tread pattern and the last four num-
bers indicate week and year manu-
factured.
For example:
DOT XXXX XXXX 1617 represents
that the tire was produced in the 16th
week of 2017.
S 112 mph (180 km/h)
