Kia XCEED PHEV MY21 - Changing a Tire with TPMS

What to do in an emergency
147
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
This can interfere with normal
operation of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the low Tire
Pressure and Position telltales will
come on. In this case, have the sys
-
tem checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
CAUTION
We recommend that you use the
sealant approved by Kia.
The sealant on the tire pressure
sensor and wheel shall be elemi
-
nated when you replace the tire
with a new one.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You
must use TPMS specific wheels.
Have your tires serviced by a pro
-
fessional workshop. Kia recom -
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 25 km/h
after replaceing the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, 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 tire
equipped with a sensor not in the
vehicle)
䳜 The TPMS malfunction indicator
will remain continuously illumi
-
nated while driving because the
TPMS sensor is not mounted on
the spare wheel. (changed tire
equipped with a sensor in the
vehicle)
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
for less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that
3 hour period.
