• If the low pressure light is illumina‐ted.
• If the suspension or ABS has been re‐ placed.
CAUTION
If the system is set without adjust‐ing tire pressure, false alarm couldoccur or the telltale will not be dis‐played even though the vehicle issignificantly under-inflated.Make sure all tires are properly ad‐justed to the recommended pressurewhen setting.If the system is not set even in re‐quired situations, false alarm couldoccur or the telltale will not be dis‐played even though the vehicle issignificantly under-inflated.The system will not be set if youpress the SET switch (2) while driv‐ing. Make sure to stop the vehicleand press the switch (2) for over 3seconds.•Be sure the tire is cold before in‐flating the pressure.A cold tire means the vehicle hasbeen sitting for 3 hours or drivenwithin 1.6km (1mile).
Indication of Low Tire Pressure
0:#-
The () warning light will illuminate
when an under-inflated tire is indica‐ ted. In certain types, the above mes‐
sage might be displayed on the cluster.
If the warning light illuminates, reduce
your speed, avoid hard cornering and rapid braking. Have your vehicle inspec‐
ted by a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Check the pressure of all tires and in‐
flate to the proper pressure according
to procedures, and if required, replace or repair the tires. If you cannot reach a close service sta‐
tion, stop the vehicle at a safe place,
check all tires and operate the TPMS setting procedure. If you are unable to
adjust the tire pressure, use the repair
tools to repair or change to spare tire and contact a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to call an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
You may not be able to identify low tire
pressure visually. Use precise tools to measure and adjust tire pressure.
Please note that a tire that is hot due
to prolonged driving, therefore will have high pressure. We recommend you to
measure and adjust the tire pressure
after the vehicle has driven for less than 1.6 km (1 mile) within 3 hours.
CAUTION
•The indicator may remain illumina‐ted after changing to a spare tire,because radius of spare tire is dif‐ferent. Be sure to change to a reg‐ular tire.

•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.
What to do in an emergency
7-10

If the indicator remains illuminated or
illuminates even after TPMS setting, have the system checked by a profes‐
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
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.
•When repairing TPMS relatedparts, be sure to replace them toparts with original specification orthose which satisfy the TPMS reg‐ulation.-TPMS related parts : tire, wheel,ABS unit, suspension

What to do in an emergency

Compact spare tire replacement (if
equipped)
A compact spare tire has a shortertread life than a regular size tire. Re‐
place it when you can see the tread
wear indicator bars on the tire. The re‐ placement compact spare tire should be
the same size and design tire as the
one provided with your new vehicle and
should be mounted on the same com‐ pact spare tire wheel. The compact
spare tire is not designed to be moun‐
ted on a regular size wheel, and the compact spare tire wheel is not de‐
signed for mounting a regular size tire.
Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for
any reason, make sure the new wheels are equivalent to the original factory
units in diameter, rim width and offset.
WARNING
A wheel that is not the correct sizemay adversely affect wheel andbearing life, braking and stoppingabilities, handling characteristics,ground clearance, body-to-tire
(Continued)
(Continued)
clearance, snow chain clearance,speedometer and odometer calibra‐tion, headlight aim and bumperheight.
Tire traction
Tire traction can be reduced if you drive
on worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated or on slippery road surfaces.
Tires should be replaced when tread
wear indicators appear. Slow down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on
the road to reduce the possibility of
losing control of the vehicle.
Tire maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease tire wear. If you find a tire is worn uneven‐
ly, have a professional workshop check
the wheel alignment. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This will increase vehicle ride comfort and tire
life. Additionally, a tire should always
be rebalanced if it is removed from the wheel.
Tire sidewall labeling
This information identifies and de‐
scribes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides the tire
identification number (TIN) for safety
standard certification. The TIN can be used to identify the tire in case of a re‐
call.
1. Manufacturer or brand name

• Do not misuse or abuse the engine.Examples of misuse are coasting with
the ignition off and descending steep grades in gear with the ignition off.
• Do not operate the engine at high idle speed for extended periods (5 mi‐
nutes or more).
• Do not modify or tamper with any part of the engine or emission control
system. All inspections and adjust‐ ments must be made by a professio‐
nal workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorized Kia dealer/service
center.
• Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel couldcause the engine to misfire, damag‐
ing the catalytic converter.
Failure to observe these precautions
could result in damage to the catalytic converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void
your warranties.
Diesel particulate filter (if
equipped)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) sys‐
tem removes the soot in the exhaust gas. Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxidizes)
and removes the accumulated soot ac‐ cording to the driving condition. In other
words, the active burning by engine
control system and high exhaust gas temperature caused by normal/high
driving condition burns and removes
the accumulated soot.
However, if the vehicle continues to be driven at repeated short distance or
driven at low speed for a long time, the
accumulated soot may not be auto‐ matically removed because of low ex‐
haust gas temperature. More than a
certain amount of soot deposited, the malfunction indicator light (
) illumi‐
nates.
When the malfunction indicator light
blinks, it may stop blinking by driving
the vehicle at more than 60 km/h (37 mph) or at more than second gear
with 1500 ~ 2500 engine rpm for a cer‐
tain time (for about 25 minutes).
If the malfunction indicator light (
)
continues to be blinked or the warning
massage "Check exhaust system" illu‐ minates in spite of the procedure, visit
a professional workshop and check the
DPF system. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner. If you continue to drive with the mal‐
function indicator light blinking for a long time, the DPF system can be dam‐
aged and fuel consumption can be wor‐
sen.
CAUTION
Diesel Fuel (if equipped with DPF)It is recommended to use the regula‐ted automotive diesel fuel for dieselvehicle equipped with the DPF sys‐tem.If you use diesel fuel including highsulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur)and unspecified additives, it cancause the DPF system to be dam‐aged and white smoke can be emit‐ted.
Lean NOx trap (if equipped)
The Lean NOx Trap (LNT) system re‐
moves the nitrogen oxide in the ex‐ haust gas. The smell can occur in the
exhaust gas depending on the quality
of the fuel and it can degrade NOx re‐ duction performance, please use the
regulated automotive diesel fuel.
