What to do in an emergency
CAUTION
Repair Agents
Never use a puncture-repairing
agent not approved by Kia to repair
and/or inflate a low pressure tire.
Sealant that is not approved by Kia
may damage the tire pressure sen -
sor.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You
must use TPMS specific wheels.
Have always 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 illumi -
nate after a few minutes. This is
because the TPMS sensor mounted
on the spare wheel is not yet acti -
vated.
Once the low pressure tire is inflated
again to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or the
TPMS sensor mounted on the
replaced spare wheel is initiated by
a professional workshop, the TPMS
malfunction indicator and the low
6 14
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
tire pressure telltale will turn off
within a few minutes of driving.
If the indicator has not disappeared
after a few minutes of driving,
please visit an authorized Kia dealer.
If an 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 deacti -
vated. If the TPMS sensor on the
original mounted wheel located in
the spare tire carrier still activates,
the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys -
tem may not operate properly. Have
the tire with TPMS serviced or
replaced by 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 pres -
sure gauge to measure the tire's
inflation pressure. Please note that
a tire that is hot (from being driven)
will have a higher pressure mea -
surement 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 period).
Allow the tire to cool before mea -
suring the inflation pressure. Always
be sure the tire is cold before inflat -
ing to the recommended pressure.
A cold tire means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven
