What to do in an emergency

126

Changing a tire with TPMS

If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire

Pressure telltale will come on. Have

the flat tire repaired by an authorized

Kia dealer as soon as possible or

replace the flat tire with the spare

tire.

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 rec-

ommended 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 illuminate

after a few minutes because the

TPMS sensor mounted on the spare

wheel is not initiated.

Once the low pressure tire is reinflat-

ed 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 extinguish within

a few minutes of driving.

If the indicator is not extinguished

after a few minutes of driving, please

visit an authorized Kia dealer.

CAUTION

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 deactivated. If the TPMS sen-

sor 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.

CAUTION

NEVER use a puncture-repair-

ing agent to repair and/or inflate

a low pressure tire. The tire

sealant can damage the tire

pressure sensor. If used, you

will have to replace the tire pres-

sure sensor.
