Kia Picanto: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) / Indication of Low Tire Pressure
The () warning light will
illuminate
when an under-inflated tire is indicated.
In certain types, the above message
might be displayed on the cluster.
If the warning light illuminates, reduce
your speed, avoid hard cornering and
rapid braking. Have your vehicle inspected
by a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
Check the pressure of all tires and inflate
to the proper pressure according
to procedures, and if required, replace
or repair the tires.
If you cannot reach a close service station,
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 illuminated
after changing to a spare tire,
because radius of spare tire is different.
Be sure to change to a regular
tire.
- For safe driving, please note that
the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance. It is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, and all tires
should be checked monthly to
maintain the recommended pressure.
- The warning light may illuminate if
the system is not set in required
situations.
- In cold weather, the low tire pressure
warning light may illuminate
even if the tire was adjusted to
the proper pressure. It does not
mean your TPMS in malfunctioning
because the decreased temperature
leads to a lowering of tire
pressure. Check the tires and adjust
to the recommended pressure.
- System performance may reduce
in the following situations.
- Improper system setting
- Using tires on the market (Original
tire recommended)
- Driving on snowy, slippery, or
unpaved roads
- Hard cornering, rapid accelerating
and braking repeatedly
- Driving too slow or fast
- If the vehicle is overloaded
- If a spare tire or snow chain is
installed
WARNING
- Driving with an under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and
lead to tire failure. It also reduces
tire tread life, handling of the vehicle,
braking ability, and fuel efficiency,
causing instability of the
vehicle. In this case, contact professional
workshop to maintain
proper tire pressure. Kia recommends
to contact an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
- Sudden damage to the tire caused
by external factors may not be indicated
immediately. If the vehicle
is unstable, immediately remove
your foot off the accelerator pedal,
move the vehicle to a safe position
for inspection.
The driver can set the TPMS by following
procedures below:
1. Inflate all tires to the recommended
pressure.
2. Start the engine, make sure the vehicle
is not moving, and press the
