What to do in an emergency
14 7
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.
Once the low pressure tire is inflated
again to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or the
TPMS sensor mounted on the
replaced spare wheel is initiated by
an authorized Kia dealer, the TPMS
malfunction indicator and the low
tire pressure telltale will turn off
within a few minutes of driving.
If the indicator has not disappeared
after a few minutes of driving,
please visit an authorized Kia dealer.
If an original mounted tire is
replaced with the spare tire, the
TPMS sensor on the replaced spare
wheel should be initiated and the
TPMS sensor on the original
mounted wheel should be deacti
-
vated. If the TPMS sensor on the
original mounted wheel located in
the spare tire carrier still activates,
the tire pressure monitoring system
may not operate properly. Have the
tire with TPMS serviced or replaced
by an authorized Kia dealer.
You may not be able to identify a
low tire by simply looking at it.
Always use a good quality tire pres
-
sure gauge to measure the tire's
inflation pressure. Please note that
a tire that is hot (from being driven)
will have a higher pressure mea
-
surement than a tire that is cold
(from sitting stationary for at least
3 hours and driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km) during that 3 hour period).
