What to do in an emergency
12 7
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
䳜 The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if the vehicle is
moving around electric power
supply cables or radios transmit
-
ters such as at police stations,
government and public offices,
broadcasting stations, military
installations, airports, or trans
-
mitting towers, etc. This can
interfere with normal operation
of the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS).
䳜 The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if snow chains
are used or some separate elec
-
tronic devices such as notebook
computer, mobile charger, remote
starter or navigation etc., are
used in the vehicle. This can inter
-
fere with normal operation of the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).
Tire replacement with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will come on. Have
the flat tire repaired by an autho
-
rized Kia dealer as soon as possible
or replace the flat tire with the
spare tire.
CAUTION
Repair Agents
Never use a puncture-repairing
agent not approved by Kia to repair
and/or inflate a low pressure tire.
The sealant not approved by Kia
may damage the tire pressure sen
-
sor.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You
must use TPMS specific wheels. It is
recommended that you always have
your tires serviced by an authorized
Kia dealer.
Even if you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will remain on until
the low pressure tire is repaired and
placed on the vehicle.
After you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the TPMS
malfunction indicator may illumi
-
nate after a few minutes because
the TPMS sensor mounted on the
spare wheel is not initiated.
