Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)† 27
The TPMS indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light and TPMS
Malfunction Indicator.
The TPMS indicator is designed to illuminate if it detects one or more tires
is significantly underinflated, if a spare tire has been installed that does not
have a TPMS device, or when the outside temperature drops considerably.
The LCD screen in the instrument cluster will display the Low Tire Pressure
indicator A showing which tire(s) are underinflated.
§ Inflate tire(s) to specifications using an
accurate digital tire pressure gauge.
See front driver’s door jamb for PSI
specification
§ When there is a problem with the
TPMS, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator
will blink for approximately one minute
then illuminate. See dealer for service.
REMINDERS:
§ Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of driver’s door jamb, visible when the door is open
§ 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

§ 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 20 minutes, and tires that are not hot in temperature from direct sunlight or heat
§
For proper maintenance, safety and optimal fuel economy, maintain recommended tire inflation pressure 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

AUTO Light – When the light switch is in the AUTO Light position, the tail lights and headlights will turn
ON/OFF automatically depending on the amount of light outside the vehicle.
Low Beam Assist-Dynamic (LBA-D) / Dynamic Bending Light (DBL)* – LBA can help improve visibility
during nighttime driving by aiming the low-beam headlights toward the direction the vehicle is moving. LBA
controls the aiming direction based on steering angle and speed.
When the light switch is in the AUTO light position, LBA will activate.
High Beam Assist (HBA)* – High Beam Assist is designed to automatically adjust the headlight range by
switching between high and low beams based on light detected from other vehicles and road conditions.
To enable HBA, toggle the light switch to the AUTO Light position and turn on the high beams by pushing
the lever away from you. The High Beam Assist indicator will illuminate.
REMINDERS:
§ High Beam Assist does not operate below certain speeds, or in some lighting and driving conditions. Please be aware of your surroundings and exercise proper road etiquette when operating a vehicle using the high beams.
§
HBA will operate when vehicle speed exceeds 25 mph
§
If the lever is pushed away from you while HBA is operational, HBA will turn off and the high beams will be on continuously. If the lever is pulled toward you while HBA is operational, HBA will turn off
§
If the light switch is switched to the headlight position, HBA will turn off and low beams will be on continuously
§ DRL only operates during the daytime
Daytime Running Lights (DRL) – DRL can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during
the day. The lights will be on automatically unless one of the following occurs:
§ Headlights are on
§ Parking brake is applied
§ Switch is in the DRL OFF position
§ Engine is turned off
Headlight / High Beam Lever Operation
§ Rotate lever switch to change the headlight function:
§ Press lever away from you to turn high beam headlights ON
§ Pull lever to flash headlights/high beams
REMINDER: When the LBA indicator illuminates on the instrument cluster, the LBA is not working properly. See authorized Kia dealer for service.
