• 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.

What to do in an emergency

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
WARNING
nFOR EUROPE
Do not modify the vehicle. It may in‐terfere with the TPMS function.❈ All vehicles sold in the EUROPEmarket during below period must beequipped with TPMS.-New model vehicle : Nov. 1, 2012 ~
