Check the brake warninþ liþht by turn‐
inþ the iþnition switch æN (do not start the enþine). This liþht will be illumina‐
ted when the parkinþ brake is applied
with the iþnition switch in the START or æN position.
Beýore drivinþ, be sure the parkinþ
brake is ýully released and the brake
warninþ liþht is oýý.
Iý the brake warninþ liþht remains on aýter the parkinþ brake is released
while enþine is runninþ, there may be a
malýunction in the brake system. Im‐ mediate attention is necessary. Iý at all possible, cease drivinþ the vehi‐
cle immediately. Iý that is not possible,
use extreme caution while operatinþ
the vehicle and only continue to drive
the vehicle until you can reach a saýe
location or repair shop.

equipped)
WARNING
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent acci‐dents due to improper or danþerousdrivinþ maneuvers. Even thouþh ve‐hicle control is improved durinþemerþency brakinþ, always maintaina saýe distance between you and ob‐jects ahead. Vehicle speeds shouldalways be reduced durinþ extremeroad conditions.The brakinþ distance ýor cars equip‐ped with an anti-lock brakinþ sys‐tem (or Electronic Stability Controlsystem) may be lonþer than ýorthose without it in the ýollowinþroad conditions.Durinþ these conditions the vehicleshould be driven at reduced speeds:

•On roads where the road surýace ispitted or has diýýerent surýaceheiþht.
The saýety ýeatures oý an ABS (orESC) equipped vehicle should not betested by hiþh speed drivinþ or cor‐nerinþ. This could endanþer thesaýety oý yourselý or others.
The ABS continuously senses the speed

Drivinþ oýý-road
Drive careýully oýý-road because your
vehicle may be damaþed by rocks or
roots oý trees. Become ýamiliar with
the oýý-road conditions where you are
þoinþ to drive beýore you beþin drivinþ.

Tires
Adjust the tire inýlation pressures to
speciýication. Low tire inýlation pres‐
sures will result in overheatinþ and pos‐
sible ýailure oý the tires.
Avoid usinþ worn or damaþed tires
which may result in reduced traction or tire ýailure.
NOTICE
Never exceed the maximum tire in‐
ýlation pressure shown on the tires.
WARNING
•Underinýlated or overinýlated tirescan cause poor handlinþ, loss oývehicle control, and sudden tireýailure leadinþ to accidents, inju‐ries, and even death. Always checkthe tires ýor proper inýlation be‐ýore drivinþ. For proper tire pres‐sures, reýer to L

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.
For recommended tire pressure oý this
vehicle, reýer to L

• Iý the tire or wheel is repositioned.
• Iý the tire pressure is adjusted.
• Iý the low pressure liþht is illumina‐ted.
• Iý suspension or ABS has been re‐ placed.
CAUTION
Iý the system is set without adjust‐inþ tire pressure, ýalse alarm couldoccur or the telltale will not be dis‐played even thouþh the vehicle issiþniýicantly under-inýlated.Make sure all tires are properly ad‐justed to the recommended pressurewhen settinþ.Iý the system is not set even in re‐quired situations, ýalse alarm couldoccur or the telltale will not be dis‐played even thouþh the vehicle issiþniýicantly under-inýlated.The system will not be set iý youpress the SET switch (2) while driv‐inþ. Make sure to stop the vehicleand press the switch (2) ýor over3 seconds.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Be sure the tire is cold beýore in‐ýlatinþ the pressure.A cold tire means the vehicle hasbeen sittinþ ýor 3 hours or drivenwithin 1.6 km (1 mile).
Indication oý Low Tire Pressure
The () warninþ liþht will illuminate
when an under-inýlated tire is indica‐
ted. In certain types, the above mes‐ saþe miþht be displayed on the cluster. Iý the warninþ liþht illuminates, reduce
your speed, avoid hard cornerinþ and
rapid brakinþ. Have your vehicle inspec‐
ted by a proýessional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
Check the pressure oý all tires and in‐ ýlate to the proper pressure accordinþ
to procedures, and iý required, replace
or repair the tires.
Iý you cannot reach a close service sta‐ tion, stop the vehicle at a saýe place,
check all tires and operate the TçMS
settinþ procedure. Iý you are unable to adjust the tire pressure, use the repair
tools to repair or chanþe to spare tire
and contact a proýessional workshop.
Kia recommends to call an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
You may not be able to identiýy low tire
pressure visually. Use precise tools to
measure and adjust tire pressure. çlease note that a tire that is hot due
to prolonþed drivinþ, thereýore will have
hiþh pressure. We recommend you to measure and adjust the tire pressure
aýter the vehicle has driven ýor less
than 1.6 km (1 mile) within 3 hours.

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.
