Changing A Tire With Tpms - Kia Carens 2014 Manual

What to do in an emergency

Changing a tire with TPMS

If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will come on. We
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
We recommend that you use the
sealant approved by Kia.
The sealant on the tire pressure
sensor and wheel shall be elim-
inated when you replace the tire
with a new one.
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.

Even if you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will remain on until
the low pressure tire is repaired and
placed on the vehicle.
After you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, 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 tire is reinflat-
ed to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or the
TPMS sensor 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, we
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
If a 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. If the TPMS sen-
sor on the original mounted
wheel located in the spare tire
carrier still activates, the tire
pressure monitoring system
may not operate properly. We
recommend that the system be
serviced by an authorized Kia
dealer.
