air condition KIA CARENS 2018 Service Manual

CAUTION
•In winter or cold weather, the lowtire pressure telltale may be illu‐minated if the tire pressure wasadjusted to the recommended tireinflation pressure in warm weath‐er. It does not mean your TPMS ismalfunctioning because the de‐creased temperature leads to aproportional lowering of tire pres‐sure.
•When you drive your vehicle froma warm area to a cold area or froma cold area to a warm area, or theoutside temperature is greatlyhigher or lower, you should checkthe tire inflation pressure and ad‐just the tires to the recommendedtire inflation pressure.
•When filling tires with more air,conditions to turn off the low tirepressure telltale may not be met.This is because a tire inflator has amargin of error in performance.The low tire pressure telltale willbe turned off if the tire pressure isabove the recommended tire infla‐tion pressure.
WARNING
nLow pressure damage
Significantly low tire pressure makesthe vehicle unstable and can contrib‐ute to loss of vehicle control and in‐creased braking distances.Continued driving on low pressuretires can cause the tires to overheatand fail.

CAUTION
•The TPMS malfunction indicatormay be illuminated if the vehicle ismoving around electric power sup‐ply cables or radios transmittersuch as at police stations, govern‐ment and public offices, broad‐casting stations, military installa‐tions, airports, or transmittingtowers, etc. This can interferewith normal operation of the TirePressure Monitoring System(TPMS).
•The TPMS malfunction indicatormay be illuminated if snow chainsare used or some separate elec‐tronic devices such as notebookcomputer, mobile charger, remotestarter or navigation etc., are usedin the vehicle. This can interferewith normal operation of the TirePressure Monitoring System(TPMS).
