Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator toindicate when the system is not oper-
ating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low
tyre pressure telltale. When the sys-tem detects a malfunction, the telltale
will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle start-
ups as long as the malfunction exists.When the malfunction indicator is illu-
minated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tyre pressure
as intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, includ-ing the installation of replacement or
alternate tyres or wheels on the vehi-
cle that prevent the TPMS from func-
tioning properly. Always check theTPMS malfunction telltale afterreplacing one or more tyres or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tyres
and wheels allow the TPMS to con-
tinue to function properly.✽✽
NOTICE
If the TPMS, Low Tyre Pressure
indicator do not illuminate for 3 sec-
onds when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position or engine
is running, or if they remain illumi-
nated after coming on for approxi-
mately 3 seconds, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorised Kia dealer.Low tyre pressure telltale
When the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated, one or more of your tyres issignificantly under-inflated.
If the telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cor-
nering and anticipate increased stop-
ping distances. You should stop and
check your tyres as soon as possi-
ble. Inflate the tyres to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label located on the driver’s side
centre pillar outer panel. If you can-
not reach a service station or if the
tyre cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tyre with
the spare tyre.

713
What to do in an emergency
Even if you replace the low pressure
tyre with the spare tyre, the Low TyrePressure telltale will remain on until
the low pressure tyre is repaired and
placed on the vehicle.
After you replace the low pressure
tyre with the spare tyre, the TPMS
malfunction indicator may illuminate
after a few minutes because theTPMS sensor mounted on the sparewheel is not initiated.
Once the low pressure tyre is rein- flated to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or theTPMS sensor mounted on the
replaced spare wheel is initiated by
an authorised Kia dealer, the TPMS
malfunction indicator and the low
tyre pressure telltale will extinguish
within a few minutes of driving.
If the indicator is not extinguished
after a few minutes of driving, werecommend that the system be
checked by an authorised Kia dealer.You may not be able identify a low
tyre by simply looking at it. Alwaysuse a good quality tyre pressuregauge to measure the tyre's inflation
pressure. Please note that a tyre that
is hot (from being driven) will have ahigher pressure measurement than atyre that is cold (from sitting station-
ary for at least 3 hours and driven
less than 1.6 km (1 mile) during that
3 hour period).
Allow the tyre to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tyre is cold before inflating
to the recommended pressure.
A cold tyre means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven forless than 1.6 km (1 mile) in that 3
hour period.CAUTION
If a original mounted tyre is
replaced with the spare tyre, theTPMS sensor on the replaced spare wheel should be initiatedand the TPMS sensor on theoriginal mounted wheel shouldbe deactivated. If the TPMS sen- sor on the original mountedwheel located in the spare tyrecarrier still activates, the tyre pressure monitoring systemmay not operate properly. Werecommend that the system be serviced by an authorised Kiadealer.
CAUTION
We recommend that you use the sealant approved by Kia if yourvehicle is equipped with a TyrePressure Monitoring System. The liquid sealant can damagethe tyre pressure sensors.

your vehicle, directly below the cargoarea.
To remove the spare tyre:
1.Open the tailgate and luggage
under tray cover.
2.Find the plastic hex bolt cover (1) and remove the cover. 3.Connect the socket and wheel lug
nut wrench.
4.Use the wheel lug nut wrench to loosen the bolt enough to lower the
spare tyre.
Turn the wrench counterclockwise until the spare tyre reaches the
ground. 5.After the spare tyre reaches the
ground, continue to turn the
wrench counterclockwise, and
draw the spare tyre outside. Never
rotate the wrench excessively, oth-
erwise the spare tyre carrier maybe damaged.

What to do in an emergency
7.Place the jack at the front (1) orrear (2) jacking position closest to
the tyre you are changing. Place
the jack at the designated locations
under the frame. The jacking posi-
tions are plates welded to the
frame with two tabs and a raised
dot to index with the jack. 8.Insert the jack handle into the jack
and turn it clockwise, raising the
vehicle until the tyre just clears the
ground. This measurement is
approximately 30 mm (1.2 in).
Before removing the wheel lug
nuts, make sure the vehicle is sta-
ble and that there is no chance for
movement or slippage.
9.Loosen the wheel nuts and remove them with your fingers. Slide the
wheel off the studs and lay it flat so
it cannot roll away. To put the wheel
on the hub, pick up the spare tyre,line up the holes with the studs andslide the wheel onto them.

What to do in an emergency
If you have a tyre gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure.
If the pressure is lower than recom-
mended, drive slowly to the nearest
service station and inflate to the cor-
rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust
it until it is correct. Always reinstall
the valve cap after checking or
adjusting tyre pressure. If the cap is
not replaced, air may leak from the
tyre. If you lose a valve cap, buyanother and install it as soon as pos-
sible.
After you have changed wheels,
always secure the flat tyre in its place
and return the jack and tools to their
proper storage locations.To prevent the jack, jack handle,
wheel lug nut wrench, socket and
spare tyre from rattling whilst the
vehicle is in motion, store them prop-
erly.CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads
on the wheel studs and nuts.Make certain during wheel removal that the same nuts thatwere removed are reinstalled -or, if replaced, that nuts with metric threads and the samechamfer configuration are used.Installation of a non-metricthread nut on a metric stud or vice-versa will not secure thewheel to the hub properly andwill damage the stud so that it must be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do nothave metric threads. Be sure touse extreme care in checkingfor thread style before installing aftermarket lug nuts or wheels.If in doubt, we recommend thatyou consult an authorised Kia dealer.
WARNING - Wheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they
may lose their ability to retain
the wheel. This could lead to theloss of the wheel and a collisionresulting in serious injuries.
WARNING - Inadequate
spare tyre pressure
Check the inflation pressures
as soon as possible after
installing the spare tyre. Adjust
it to the specified pressure, if
necessary. Refer to “Tyres and
wheels” chapter 9.

What to do in an emergency
Do not take this vehicle through anautomatic car wash whilst the com- pact spare tyre is installed.
Do not use tyre chains on the com- pact spare tyre. Because of the
smaller size, a tyre chain will not fit
properly. This could damage the
vehicle and result in loss of thechain.
The compact spare tyre should not be installed on the front axle if the
vehicle must be driven in snow or
on ice.
Do not use the compact spare tyre on any other vehicle because thistyre has been designed especially
for your vehicle.
The compact spare tyre’s tread life is shorter than a regular tyre.
Inspect your compact spare tyre
regularly and replace worn com-
pact spare tyres with the same sizeand design, mounted on the samewheel. The compact spare tyre should not
be used on any other wheels, nor
should standard tyres, snow tyres,
wheel covers or trim rings be used
with the compact spare wheel. Ifsuch use is attempted, damage tothese items or other car compo-
nents may occur.
Do not use more than one compact spare tyre at a time.
Do not tow a trailer whilst the com- pact spare tyre is installed.
