What to do in an emergency
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 Sys-
tem 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).
Allow the tire to cool before mea-
suring the inflation pressure. Always
be sure the tire is cold before inflat-
ing to the recommended pressure.
A cold tire means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven
6 14
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
for less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that
3 hour period.
Never use tire sealant if your vehicle
is equipped with a TPMS. The liquid
sealant can damage the tire pres-
sure sensors.
The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe 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
gradually and with light force, and
slowly move to a safe position off
the road.
NOTICE
Protecting TPMS
Tampering with, modifying, or dis-
abling the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) components may
interfere with the system's ability
to warn the driver of low tire pres-
sure conditions and/or TPMS mal-
functions. Tampering with,
modifying, or disabling the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may void the warranty
for that portion of the vehicle.
