What to do in an emergency
F060200AHM
TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator
comes on and stays on when there is
a problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. If the system is
able to correctly detect an under-
inflation warning at the same time as
system failure then it will illuminate
both the TPMS malfunction and the
low tire pressure telltale e.g. if front
left sensor fails, the TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator turns on, but if front
right, rear left, or rear right tire is
under-inflated, the low tire pressure
telltale may turn on at the same time
as the TPMS malfunction indicator.
Have the system checked by an
authorized KIA dealer as soon as
possible to determine the cause of
the problem.
TPMS
CAUTION
• The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may be illuminated if the
vehicle is moving around elec-
tric power supply cables or
radio transmitter such as at
police stations, government
and public offices, broadcast-
ing stations, military installa-
tions, airports, or transmitting
towers, etc. This can interfere
with normal operation of the
Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS).

(Continued)
• If there is a failed tire sensor, it
is possible for the TPMS to
temporarily learn a replace-
ment sensor if closely driven
to another vehicle that is also
equipped with TPMS. In rare
cases, this may temporarily
delay the TPMS malfunction
indicator from turning on.
• The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may be illuminated if Snow
chains or some electronic
devices, such as notebook
computers, are used in the
vehicle. These can interfere
with normal operation of the
Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS).
