TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) Malfunction Indicator

The low tire pressure warning light will illuminate after flashing for approximately one minute when there is a problem with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). If the system is able to detect a low tire pressure warning and a system malfunction at the same time, it will illuminate both the TPMS malfunction indicator and the low tire pressure warning light. For example, if the front left sensor is malfunctioning, only the TPMS malfunction indicator illuminates. However, if the front right, rear left, or rear right tire is under-inflated, the low tire pressure warning light may illuminate together with the TPMS malfunction indicator.

We recommend having the system checked by an authorized Kia dealer to determine the cause of the problem.

CAUTION

• The TPMS malfunction indicator may illuminate while driving near power cables or radio transmitters, such as police stations, government and public facilities, broadcasting stations, military facilities, airports, or transmission towers, etc. This may interfere with normal operation of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
• The TPMS malfunction indicator may illuminate if snow chains are used or if certain electronic devices, such as a laptop computer, mobile phone charger, remote starter, or navigation system, are used in the vehicle. This may interfere with normal operation of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
