Changing a tire with TPMS
Iý you have a ýlat tire, the low Tire
Pressure and Position telltales will
come on. In this case, have the system
checked by a proýessional 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 speciýic wheels. Have your tires
serviced by a proýessional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
Iý you drive the vehicle ýor about 10 mi‐
nutes at speeds above 25 km/h aýter
replaceinþ the low pressure tire with
the spare tire, one oý the ýollowinþ will
happen:
• The TPMS malýunction indicator may
blink ýor approximately 1 minute and
then remain continuously illuminated
because the TPMS sensor is not
mounted on the spare wheel.
(chanþed tire equipped with a sensor
not in the vehicle)
• The TPMS malýunction indicator will
remain continuously illuminated while
drivinþ because the TPMS sensor is
not mounted on the spare wheel.
(chanþed tire equipped with a sensor
in the vehicle)
You may not be able identiýy a low tire
by simply lookinþ at it. Always use a
þood quality tire pressure þauþe to
measure the tire's inýlation pressure.
Please note that a tire that is hot (ýrom
beinþ driven) will have a hiþher pres‐
sure measurement than a tire that is
cold (ýrom sittinþ stationary ýor at
least 3 hours and driven less than
1.6 km (1 mile) durinþ that 3 hour peri‐
od).
Allow the tire to cool beýore measurinþ
the inýlation pressure. Always be sure
the tire is cold beýore inýlatinþ to the
recommended pressure.
A cold tire means the vehicle has been
sittinþ ýor 3 hours and driven ýor less
than 1 mile (1.6 km) 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.
WARNING
n TPMS
• The TPMS cannot alert you to se‐
vere and sudden tire damage
caused by external factors such as
nails or road debris.
• If you feel any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off the
accelerator, apply the brakes grad‐
ually and with light force, and
