What to do in an emergency

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 new tire with TPMS, the

TPMS malfunction indicator may illu-

minate 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.

If a 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 sensor

on the original mounted wheel locat-

ed in the spare tire carrier still acti-

vates, the tire pressure monitoring

system may not operate properly.

Have the tire with TPMS serviced or

replaced by an authorized Kia deal-

er.

CAUTION

Never use a puncture-repairing

agent not approved by Kia to

repair and/or inflate a low pres-

sure tire. The tire sealant not

approved by Kia may damage

the tire pressure sensor. The

sealant on the tire pressure sen-

sor and wheel shall be eliminat-

ed when you replace the tire

with a new one.
