2018 KIA STONIC warning light

(Continued)
•For safe driving, please note thatthe TPMS is not a substitute forproper tire maintenance. It is thedriver’s responsibility to maintaincorrect tire pressure, and all tiresshould be checked monthly tomaintain the recommended pres‐sure.
•The warning light may illuminate ifthe system is not set in requiredsituations.
•In cold weather, the low tire pres‐sure warning light may illuminateeven if the tire was adjusted tothe proper pressure. It does notmean your TPMS is malfunctioningbecause the decreased tempera‐ture leads to a lowering of tirepressure. Check the tires and ad‐just to the recommended pressure.
•System performance may reducein the following situations.-Improper system setting
-Using tires on the market (Origi‐nal tire recommended)
-Driving on snowy, slippery, orunpaved roads
(Continued)
(Continued)
-Hard cornering, rapid accelerat‐ing and braking repeatedly
-Driving too slow or fast
-If the vehicle is overloaded
-If a spare tire or snow chain isinstalled
•When filling tires with more air,conditions to turn off the low tirepressure telltale may not be met.This is because a tire inflator has amargin of error in performance.The low tire pressure telltale willbe turned off if the tire pressure isabove the recommended tire infla‐tion pressure.
WARNING
•Driving with an under-inflated tirecauses the tire to overheat andlead to tire failure. It also reducestire tread life, handling of the vehi‐cle, braking ability, and fuel effi‐ciency, causing instability of thevehicle. In this case, contact pro‐fessional workshop to maintainproper tire pressure. Kia recom‐mends to contact an authorizedKia dealer/service partner.
•Sudden damage to the tire causedby external factors may not be in‐dicated immediately. If the vehicleis unstable, immediately removeyour foot off the accelerator ped‐al, move the vehicle to a safe posi‐tion for inspection.
Tire Pressure Monitoring
System malfunction
The TPMS malfunction indicator will il‐
luminate () after it blinks for approx‐
imately 1 minute when there is a prob‐ lem with the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists.

If the indicator remains illuminated or
illuminates even after TPMS setting, have the system checked by a profes‐

visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
•If there is a malfunction with theTPMS, low tire pressure will not beindicated. In this case, have thesystem serviced by a professionalworkshop. Kia recommends to visitan authorized Kia dealer/servicepartner.
•If the system does not work dueto TPMS removal or installation ofrelated parts with different speci‐fication, it might be a problemwhen the vehicle is being regularlyinspected.

What to do in an emergency

removing the wheel lug nuts, make
sure the vehicle is stable and that
there is no chance for movement or slippage.
9. Loosen the wheel nuts and remove them with your fingers. Slide the
wheel off the studs and lay it flat
so it cannot roll away. To put the
wheel on the hub, pick up the spare
tire, line up the holes with the studs and slide the wheel onto
them.
If this is difficult, tip the wheel
slightly and get the top hole in the
wheel lined up with the top stud.
Then jiggle the wheel back and
forth until the wheel can be slid
over the other studs.
WARNING
Wheels may have sharp edges. Han‐dle them carefully to avoid possiblesevere injury. Before putting thewheel into place, be sure that thereis nothing on the hub or wheel (suchas mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that inter‐feres with the wheel from fittingsolidly against the hub.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If there is, remove it. If there is notgood contact on the mounting sur‐face between the wheel and hub,the wheel nuts could come loose andcause the loss of a wheel. Loss of awheel may result in loss of control ofthe vehicle. This may cause seriousinjury or death.
10. To reinstall the wheel, hold it on the studs, put the wheel nuts on the
studs and tighten them finger
tight. Jiggle the tire to be sure it is
completely seated, then tighten
the nuts as much as possible with
your fingers again.
11. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the wheel nut wrenchcounterclockwise.
Then position the wrench as shown in
the drawing and tighten the wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is seated com‐
pletely over the nut. Do not stand on
the wrench handle or use an extension pipe over the wrench handle. Go around
the wheel tightening every other nut
until they are all tight. Then double- check each nut for tightness. After
changing wheels, have the system
checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
