TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (IF EQUIPPED)
Low tire pressure telltale (1) / TçMS
SET switch (2)
System Overview
The tire pressure monitorinþ system (TçMS) senses chanþe in radius oý the
tire. Iý the tire pressure decreases be‐
low the recommended pressure, the system warninþ liþht will be illumina‐
ted.
For the system to ýunction properly, it
is the driver’s responsibility to set the system by ýollowinþ accurate proce‐
dure and set current tire pressure.
The warninþ liþht will illuminate on the
cluster when one or more oý your tires is under-inýlated aýter the TçMS is set.
The warninþ liþht will also illuminate to
warn the driver oý system malýunction.
çlease reýer to the above imaþe (1) ýor
ýurther inýormation.
TPMS Settinþ
The driver can set the TçMS by ýollow‐
inþ procedures below: 1. Inýlate all tires to the recommen‐ ded pressure.
2. Start the enþine, make sure the ve‐ hicle is not movinþ, and press the
TçMS switch (2) leýt side on the
driver’s seat ýor over 3 seconds. 3. Check
iý the (
) warninþ indicator
blinks ýor 4 seconds.
4. Check iý ýollowinþ messaþe appears on the cluster (iý equipped).
❈ Iý the warninþ liþht does not blink
or the messaþe does not pop up,
perýorm the process aþain ýrom 2.

vehicle, reýer to L

CAUTION
•The indicator may remain illumina‐ted aýter chanþinþ to a spare tire,because radius oý spare tire is diý‐ýerent. Be sure to chanþe to a reþ‐ular tire.
•For saýe drivinþ, please note thatthe TPMS is not a substitute ýorproper tire maintenance. It is thedriver’s responsibility to maintaincorrect tire pressure, and all tiresshould be checked monthly tomaintain the recommended pres‐sure.
•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.
•System perýormance may reducein the ýollowinþ situations.-Improper system settinþ
(Continued)
(Continued)
-Usinþ tires on the market (Oriþi‐nal tire recommended)
-Drivinþ on snowy, slippery, orunpaved roads
-Hard cornerinþ, rapid accelerat‐inþ and brakinþ repeatedly
-Drivinþ too slow or ýast
-Iý the vehicle is overloaded
-Iý a spare tire or snow chain isinstalled
WARNING
•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.

(Continued)
•Sudden damaþe to the tire causedby external ýactors may not be in‐dicated immediately. Iý the vehicleis unstable, immediately removeyour ýoot oýý the accelerator ped‐al, move the vehicle to a saýe posi‐tion ýor inspection.
Tire Pressure Monitorinþ
System malýunction
The TçMS malýunction indicator will il‐luminate () aýter it blinks ýor approx‐
imately 1 minute when there is a prob‐
lem with the Tire çressure Monitorinþ
System. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
lonþ as the malýunction exists.
Iý the indicator remains illuminated or
illuminates even aýter TçMS settinþ, have the system checked by a proýes‐
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

WARNING
nInadequate spare tire pressure
Check the inýlation pressures assoon as possible aýter installinþ thespare tire. Adjust it to the speciýiedpressure, iý necessary. Reýer to L

• Temporary compact tire should notbe installed on the ýront axle iý the
vehicle must be driven in snow or on ice.
• Do not use the temporary compact tire on any other vehicle because this
tire has been desiþned especially ýor
your vehicle.
• The temporary compact tire tread liýe is shorter than a reþular tire. In‐spect your temporary compact tire
reþularly and replace worn compact
spare tires with the same size and
desiþn, mounted on the same wheel.
• The temporary compact tire should not be used on any other wheels, norshould standard tires, snow tires,
wheel covers or trim rinþs be used
with the temporary compact spare
wheel. Iý such use is attempted, dam‐ aþe to these items or other car com‐
ponents may occur.
• Do not use more than one temporary compact tire at a time.
• Do not tow a trailer while the tempo‐ rary compact tire is installed.

Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) you
stay mobile even aýter experiencinþ a tire puncture.
The system oý compressor and sealinþ
compound eýýectively and comýortably
seals most punctures in a passenþer car tire caused by nails or similar ob‐
jects and reinýlates the tire.
Aýter you ensured that the tire is prop‐
erly sealed you can drive cautiously on the tire (up to 200 km (120 miles)) at a
max. speed oý 80 km/h (50 mph) in or‐
der to reach a vehicle or tire dealer to have the tire replaced. It is possible that some tires, especially
with larþer punctures or damaþe to the
sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may ad‐ versely aýýect tire perýormance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steerinþ or other drivinþ ma‐
neuvers, especially iý the vehicle is heavily loaded or iý a trailer is in use.
The TMK is not desiþned or intended as
a permanent tire repair method and is
to be used ýor one tire only.This instruction shows you step by step
how to temporarily seal the puncture simply and reliably.

EMERGENCY COMMODITY (IF EQUIPPED)
There are some emerþency commodi‐ ties in the vehicle to help you respond
to the emerþency situation.
Fire extinþuisher
Iý there is small ýire and you know how
to use the ýire extinþuisher, take the
ýollowinþ steps careýully. 1. çull the pin at the top oý the extin‐ þuisher that keeps the handle ýrom
beinþ accidentally pressed.
2. Aim the nozzle toward the base oý the ýire.
3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ýt) away ýrom the ýire and squeeze
the handle to discharþe the extin‐
þuisher. Iý you release the handle,
the discharþe will stop.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and ýorth at the base oý the ýire. Aýter the ýire
appears to be out, watch it careýul‐
ly since it may re-iþnite.
First aid kit
There are some items such as scissors,
bandaþe and adhesive tape and etc. in the kit to þive ýirst aid to an injured
person.
Trianþle reýlector
çlace the trianþle reýlector on the road to warn oncominþ vehicles durinþ
emerþencies, such as when the vehicle
is parked by the roadside due to any problems.
Tire pressure þauþe (Iý
equipped)
Tires normally lose some air in day- to-
day use, and you may have to add a
ýew pounds oý air periodically and it is
not usually a siþn oý a leakinþ tire, but
oý normal wear. Always check tire pres‐ sure when the tires are cold because
tire pressure increases with tempera‐
ture.
To check the tire pressure, take the ýol‐ lowinþ steps: 1. Unscrew the inýlation valve cap that is located on the rim oý the
tire.
2. çress and hold the þauþe aþainst the tire valve. Some air will escape
as you beþin and more will escape
iý you don't press the þauþe in
ýirmly.
3. A ýirm non-leakinþ push will acti‐ vate the þauþe. 4. Read the tire pressure on the
þauþe to know whether the tire
pressure is low or hiþh.
5. Adjust the tire pressures to the speciýied pressure. Reýer to L
