QR CODETire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)†24
The indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light
and TPMS Malfunction Indicator.
The TPMS indicator illuminates if it detects
one or more tires is significantly under
inflated, the vehicle has a spare tire installed
without TPMS or the outside temperature
becomes significantly lower.
• The LCD screen in the instrument cluster will display the Low Tire
Pressure indicator A showing which tire(s) is underinflated
• Inflate tire(s) to specifications using an accurate tire pressure gauge to
turn off Low Tire Pressure Light . See front driver’s door jamb for PSI
specification
•
When there is a problem with the TPMS, the TPMS Malfunction
Indicator will blink for approximately one minute and then illuminate
– See dealer for service
•Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month. Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires” that have been sitting for at least 20 minutes tires and are not hot in temperature from direct sunlight or heat
•For proper maintenance and optimal fuel economy, maintain recommended tire inflation pressures and stay within the load limits and weight distribution recommended for your vehicle
•In winter or cold weather, the TPMS light may illuminate if the tire pressure was adjusted to the recommended tire inflation pressure during warm weather
QUICK TIPS
Fuel Economy
There are several factors that contribute to your
vehicle’s fuel economy, such as maintenance
of your vehicle, driving style, environmental
conditions, vehicle weight and vehicle
aerodynamics. Below are some tips on how to
help improve fuel economy:
• Keep your vehicle in good condition with
regular maintenance
• Don’t let the engine idle longer than necessary
• Drive at a moderate speed, accelerating
smoothly and at a moderate rate
• Keep tires inflated to the recommended
pressure
• Travel lightly, without carrying unnecessary
weight in your vehicle
• Avoid placing large or heavy items on roof
racks
• Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads
Refer to section 4 in the Owner’s Manual for more information or snap the QR Code above to view a video.
Images are for illustrative purposes only. Actual image or feature may vary.
REMINDERS:
• Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of driver’s door jamb, visible when the door is opened
• Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)
• Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote start systems, etc.) may interfere with the TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate
Refer to section 6 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.

Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)*
Some Kia vehicles are equipped with Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT ) for both automatic and manual transmissions.
The following are unique driving tips of the Dual Clutch Transmission:
• To hold the vehicle stationary on an incline, the service brake or parking brake MUST be used or the gear shift MUST be in the (P) Park position.
If the vehicle is held stationary by applying the accelerator pedal on a slope, the clutch/transmission may overheat, resulting in damage
• Avoid aggressive launches on steep grades as this may result in an overheated clutch and transmission
• A slight time lag may be experienced at takeoff from standstill during aggressive acceleration maneuvers
If the clutch is overheating an amber-colored warning light will be displayed on the instrument cluster. Should this condition occur,
pull over and place the vehicle in Park and idle the engine.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information on DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.
