Incompetent TPMS system

I think Kia should work on its tpms. After you've inflated the tires, the first step is to find a reset button, which can be either physical or electronic.
The ridiculous automatic reset after 5 kilometres of driving is usually ineffective. It is laborious, but over pumping and deflating work.
The front left is displaying the latest low pressure alert. Find the cold pressure reading at 34 psi. Every other tire had a pressure of 34 to 35 psi. Ignored it for two or three days, and the warning disappeared. After returning three days later, they departed once more. The warning for back left was issued a few days ago. The pressure was 35 psi.
Get the front and rear tyre pressures up to 38 psi, man.
Front and rear left pressures were 35 psi today, but a warning light indicates that front right is low at 33 psi, despite being 35 psi yesterday. A new caution label reading 33 psi has also been added to the back right.
It's almost as if it has found the difference between the two pressure readings, established a new baseline of 35 psi for the greatest reading, and then, to find the lowest value, it subtracts the difference.
