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 driven
wheel positions. There should
be no other sensors in the
vehicle since this could cause
the system to monitor the
wrong sensors

to replace the tire pressure sensor.
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 as soon as possible.
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 higher
pressure measurement than a tire
that is cold (from sitting stationary for
at least 3 hours and driven less than
1.6
km (1 mile) during that 3 hour
period). Allow the tire to cool before
measuring the inflation pressure.
