Changing A Tyre With Tpms - Kia Soul 2018 Owner's Manual

What to do in an emergency

Changing a tyre with TPMS

If you have a flat tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure telltale will come on. In this
case, have the system checked by a
professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
We recommend that you use the
sealant approved by Kia.
The sealant on the tyre pressure
sensor and wheel shall be elim-
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. Have
your tyres serviced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.

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 spare tyre, the TPMS
malfunction indicator may illuminate
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, have
the system checked by a profession-
al workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
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 orig-
inal mounted wheel should be
deactivated. If the TPMS sensor
on the original mounted wheel
located in the spare tyre carrier
still activates, the tyre pressure
monitoring system may not oper-
ate properly. Have your vehicle
serviced by a professional work-
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
You may not be able identify a low
tyre by simply looking at it. Always
use a good quality tyre pressure
gauge to measure the tyre's inflation
pressure. Please note that a tyre that
is hot (from being driven) will have a
higher pressure measurement than a
tyre that is cold (from sitting station-
ary for at least 3 hours and driven
less than 1.6 km (1 mile) during that
3 hour period).
