Changing a tyre with TPMS
If you have a flat tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure telltale will come on. Have
the flat tyre repaired by an autho-
rised Kia dealer as soon as possible
or replace the flat tyre with the spare
tyre.
CAUTION
Never use a puncture-repairing
agent not approved by Kia to
repair and/or inflate a low pres-
sure tyre. The tyre sealant not
approved by Kia may damage
the tyre pressure sensor.
The sealant on the tyre pressure
sensor and wheel shall be elem-
inated when you replace the
tyre with a new one.
Each wheel is equipped with a tyre
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tyre behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you always have
your tyres serviced by an authorised
Kia dealer.
Even if you replace the low pressure
tyre with the spare tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure telltale will remain on until
the low pressure tyre is repaired and
placed on the vehicle.
After you replace the low pressure
tyre with the new tyre 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 tyre is rein-
flated to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or the
TPMS sensor mounted on the
replaced spare wheel is initiated by
an authorised Kia dealer, the TPMS
malfunction indicator and the low
tyre 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 authorised Kia dealer.
What to do in an emergency
CAUTION
If a original mounted tyre is
replaced with the spare tyre, 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 tyre
carrier still activates, the tyre
pressure monitoring system
may not operate properly. Have
the tyre with TPMS serviced or
replaced by an authorised Kia
dealer.
