CAUTION
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1 mi‐
nute and then remain continuously
illuminated if the vehicle is moving
around electric power supply ca‐
bles or radios transmitter such as
at police stations, government and
public offices, broadcasting sta‐
tions, military installations, air‐
ports, or transmitting towers, etc.
This can interfere with normal op‐
eration of the Tire Pressure Moni‐
toring System (TPMS).
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1 mi‐
nute and then remain continuously
illuminated if snow chains are used
or some separate electronic devi‐
ces such as notebook computer,
mobile charger, remote starter or
navigation etc., are used in the ve‐
hicle.
This can interfere with normal op‐
eration of the Tire Pressure Moni‐
toring System (TPMS).
Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the low Tire
Pressure and Position telltales will
come on. In this case, have the system
checked by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
We recommend that you use the
sealant approved by Kia.
The sealant on the tire pressure
sensor and wheel shall be elemina‐
ted when you replace the tire with a
new one.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire pres‐
sure sensor mounted inside the tire be‐
hind the valve stem. You must use
TPMS specific wheels. Have your tires
serviced by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
You may not be able to identify a low
tire by simply looking at it. Always use
a good quality tire pressure gauge to
measure the tire's inflation pressure.
Please note that a tire that is hot (from
being driven) will have a higher pres‐
sure measurement than a tire that is
cold (from sitting stationary for at
least 3 hours and driven less
than1.6 km (1 mile) during that 3 hour
period).
Allow the tire to cool before measuring
the inflation pressure. Always be sure
the tire is cold before inflating to the
recommended pressure.
A cold tire means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours and driven for less
than 1.6 km (1 mile) in that 3 hour peri‐
od.
CAUTION
We recommend that you use the
sealant approved by Kia if your vehi‐
cle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. The liquid seal‐
ant can damage the tire pressure
sensors.
