Kia CERATO 2018 Owner's Manual page 443

Once the low pressure tire is reinflated
to the recommended pressure and in‐
stalled on the vehicle or the TPMS sen‐
sor 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, have the sys‐
tem checked by a professional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
If 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 by a Kia dealer. If the
TPMS sensor on the original moun‐
ted wheel located in the spare tire
carrier still activates, the tire pres‐
sure monitoring system may not op‐
erate properly. Have the tire with
TPMS serviced or replaced by an au‐
thorized Kia dealer.
You may not be able identify a low tire
by simply looking at it. Always use a
good quality tire pressure gauge to
measure the tire's inflation pressure.
Please note that a tire that is hot (from
being driven) will have a higher pres‐
sure measurement 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 peri‐
od).
Allow the tire to cool before measuring
the inflation pressure. Always be sure
the tire is cold before inflating to the
recommended pressure.
A cold tire means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours and driven for less
than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3 hour peri‐
od.
