Changing A Tire With Tpms - Kia Ceed Owner's Manual

✽ ✽ NOTICE
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if the vehicle is
moving around electric power
supply cable or radio transmitter
such as police stations, govern-
ment and public offices, broad-
casting stations, military installa-
tions, airports, or transmitting
tower, etc. this can interfere with
normal operation of the Tire
Pressure Monitoring
(TPMS).
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if some elec-
tronic devices, such as notebook
computers, are used in the vehicle.
This can interfere with normal
operation of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).

Changing a tire with TPMS

If you have a flat tire, the low tire
pressure and position telltales 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.
NEVER use a puncture-repairing
agent to repair and/or inflate a low
pressure tire. If used, you will have to
replace the tire pressure sensor.
System
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 as soon as possible.
The spare tire is not equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring sensor.
Therefore, when the low pressure
tire is replaced with the spare tire,
the low tire pressure and the low tire
pressure position telltales will extin-
guish and the TPMS malfunction
indicator will illuminate after a few
minutes.
In case of an emergency
This TPMS malfunction indicator
may remain light until the original tire
equipped with a tire pressure sensor
is re-inflated to the recommended
pressure and re-installed on the
vehicle.
Once the low pressure tire is re-
inflated to the recommended pres-
sure and installed on the vehicle, the
TPMS malfunction indicator and the
low tire pressure and position tell-
tales will extinguish within a few min-
utes.
If the indicators are not extinguished
after a few minutes, please visit 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 pressure
gauge to measure the tire's inflation
pressure. Please note that a tire that
is hot (from being driven) will have a
higher pressure measurement than a
tire that is cold (from sitting station-
ary for at least 3 hours and driven
less than 1 mile (1.6km) during that 3
hour period). Allow the tire to cool
before measuring the inflation pres-
sure.
