•The warninþ liþht may illuminate iýthe system is not set in requiredsituations.
•In cold weather, the low tire pres‐sure warninþ liþht may illuminateeven iý the tire was adjusted tothe proper pressure. It does notmean your TPMS in malýunctioninþbecause the decreased tempera‐ture leads to a lowerinþ oý tirepressure. Check the tires and ad‐just to the recommended pressure.

•Drivinþ with an under-inýlated tirecauses the tire to overheat andlead to tire ýailure. It also reducestire tread liýe, handlinþ oý the vehi‐cle, brakinþ ability, and ýuel eýýi‐ciency, causinþ instability oý thevehicle. In this case, contact pro‐ýessional workshop to maintainproper tire pressure. Kia recom‐mends to contact an authorizedKia dealer/service partner.
