*IF EQUIPPED
Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that may lead to an accident, severe personal injury and death. The driver’s primary responsibility is in the safe and legal operation of a vehicle, and any handheld devices, other equipment or vehicle systems which take the driver’s eyes, attention and focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or that are not permissible by law should never be used during operation of the vehicle.

The TPMS indicator functions as both the Low Tire Pressure
Light and the TPMS Malfunction Indicator.
The TPMS indicator is designed to illuminate if it detects one or more
tires is significantly underinflated, the vehicle has a spare tire installed
without TPMS or the outside temperature becomes significantly lower.
The Low Tire Pressure Position
Indicator A is displayed on the LCD
screen in the Instrument Cluster when
the tire(s) is underinflated. Inflate
the tire(s) to specifications using an
accurate tire pressure gauge to turn
off the Low Tire Pressure Indicator .
See the front driver’s door jamb for
PSI specifications.
When there is a problem with the TPMS, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator
will blink for approximately one minute and then illuminate. See the
dealer for service.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)†2 6
REMINDERS:
• Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of the driver's door jamb, visible when the door is opened.
• Consult your dealer for service if the Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s).
• Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote start systems, etc.) may interfere with the TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate.
Fuel Economy
Several factors contribute to your vehicle’s fuel economy, such as maintenance of your vehicle, driving style, environmental
conditions, vehicle weight and vehicle aerodynamics. Below are some tips on how to help improve fuel economy:

•Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month. Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires” that have been sitting for approximately 20 minutes, and tires that are not hot in temperature from direct sunlight or heat
•For proper maintenance and optimal fuel economy, maintain the recommended tire inflation pressures and stay within the load limits and weight distribution recommended for your vehicle
•In winter or cold weather, the TPMS light may illuminate if the tire pressure was adjusted to the recommended tire inflation pressure during warm weather

* See the Owner’s Manual for complete maintenance schedule† And, if necessary, adjust, correct, clean or replace‡ If equipped1. If TOP TIER detergent gasoline is not available, one bottle of additive is recommended. Additives are available from your authorized Kia dealer along with information on how to use them. Do not mix other additives2. Both the fuel filter & fuel tank air filter are generally considered to be maintenance free, depending on fuel quality
being used. However, periodic inspection is recommended. If your vehicle is having issues like fuel flow restriction, power surging, loss of power, difficulty starting, etc., replace the fuel filter immediately and consult an authorized Kia dealer for service.3. Transfer case oil and rear axle oil should be changed anytime they have been submerged in water4. Inspect for excessive tappet noise and/or engine vibration and adjust if necessary5. The drive belt should be replaced when cracks occur or tension is reduced excessively
See your Owner’s Manual for more details and complete maintenance information, including severe maintenance schedule. Warranty may be voided if maintenance schedule is not followed.
