used in the vehicle.
This can interfere with normal
operation of the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
Changing a tyre with TPMS
If you have a flat tyre, the low Tyre
Pressure and Position telltales will
come on. In this case, have the sys

tem checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
CAUTION
We recommend that you use the
sealant approved by Kia.
The sealant on the tyre pressure
sensor and wheel shall be elemi

nated when you replace the tyre
with a new one.
Each wheel is equipped with a tyre
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tyre behind the valve stem. You
must use TPMS specific wheels.
Have your tyres serviced by a pro

If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 25 km/h
after replaceing the low pressure
tyre with the spare tyre, one of the
following will happen:
䳜 The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu
-
ously illuminated because the
TPMS sensor is not mounted on
the spare wheel. (changed tyre
equipped with a sensor not in the
vehicle)
䳜 The TPMS malfunction indicator
will remain continuously illumi

nated whilst driving because the
TPMS sensor is not mounted on
the spare wheel. (changed tyre
equipped with a sensor in the
vehicle)
You may not be able to identify a
low tyre by simply looking at it.
Always use a good quality tyre
pressure gauge to measure the
tyre's inflation pressure. Please
note that a tyre that is hot (from
being driven) will have a higher
pressure measurement than a tyre
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 tyre to cool before mea

suring the inflation pressure. Always
be sure the tyre is cold before
inflating to the recommended pres

sure.
A cold tyre means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven
