What to do in an emergency
This can interfere with normal operation of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
NOTE
If there is a malfunction with the TPMS, the low tire pressure position telltale will not be
displayed even though the vehicle has an underinflated tire.
Changing a tire equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
Contact a professional workshop or seek other qualified assistance. Kia recommends to
call an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
TIP
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. Note that a tire that is hot
(from being driven) will have a higher pressure measurement 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 measuring the inflation pressure. Always be sure the tire is
cold before inflating to the recommended pressure.
A cold tire means the vehicle has been sitting for 3 hours and driven for less than 1 mile
(1.6 km) in that 3 hour period.
WARNING
僅 The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and sudden tire damage caused by external fac-
tors such as nails or road debris.
僅 If you feel any vehicle instability, immediately take your foot off the accelerator, apply
the brakes gradually and with light force, and slowly move to a safe position off the
road.
僅 Tampering with, modifying, or disabling the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may interfere with the system's ability to warn the driver of low tire pres-
sure conditions and/or TPMS malfunctions. Tampering with, modifying, or disabling the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) components may void the warranty for that
portion of the vehicle.
WARNING
For Europe
僅 Do not modify the vehicle, it may interfere with the TPMS function.
僅 The wheels on the market do not have a TPMS sensor. For your safety, use parts for
replacement from a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
僅 If you use the wheels on the market, use a TPMS sensor approved by an authorized Kia
dealer.
If your vehicle is not equipped with a TPMS sensor or TPMS does not work properly, you
may fail the periodic vehicle inspection conducted in your country.
僅 All vehicles sold in the EUROPE market during below period must be equipped with
TPMS.
