Changing a tire with TPMS
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 telltale will turn off.
If the low pressure and TPMS mal-
function indicators do not turn off
after about 20 minutes of continuous
driving, 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
CAUTION
• Do not use any tire sealant if
your vehicle is equipped with
a Tire Pressure Monitoring
System.The liquid sealant can
damage the tire pressure sen-
sors.
In order for the system to cor-
rectly monitor tires for under-
inflation, there should be a
total of exactly 4 sensors fit-
ted to each of the four wheels.
There should be no other sen-
sors in the vehicle including
the spare tire since this could
cause the system to monitor
the wrong sensors.
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will turn on. Have
the flat tire repaired by an authorized
KIA dealer as soon as possible or
replace the flat tire with the tempo-
rary spare tire.

NOTICE
NEVER use a puncture-repairing
agent to repair and/or inflate a low

to replace the tire pressure sensor.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire higher pressure measurement than a
pressure sensor mounted inside the tire that is cold (from sitting station-
tire behind the valve stem. You must ary for at least 3 hours and driven
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec- less than 1 mile during that 3 hour
ommended that you always have period). Allow the tire to cool before
your tires serviced by an authorized measuring the inflation pressure.
KIA dealer as soon as possible.
After you replace the low pressure inflating to the recommended pres-
tire with the spare tire, the TPMS
malfunction indicator or the Low Tire
Pressure telltale may illuminate after
restarting and about 20 minutes of
continuous driving.
Always be sure the tire is cold before
sure.
A cold tire means the vehicle has
