If you have a flat tire, the low tire pressure indicator light appears. Have the flat tire repaired by an authorized Kia dealer as soon as possible, or replace the flat tire with the spare tire.

Each wheel is equipped with a tire pressure sensor mounted inside the tire behind the valve stem. You must use TPMS-specific wheels. Always have your tires serviced by an authorized Kia dealer.

Even if you replace the low pressure tire with the spare tire, the low tire pressure indicator light remains illuminated until you repair or replace the low pressure tire.

The TPMS malfunction indicator light may appear a few minutes after you replace the low pressure tire with the spare tire. This is because the TPMS sensor mounted on the spare wheel is not activated.

Once you inflate the low pressure tire to the recommended pressure and install it on the vehicle, or mount the TPMS sensor on the replaced spare wheel and have it activated by an authorized Kia dealer, the TPMS malfunction and low tire pressure indicator light turns OFF within a few minutes of driving.

If the indicator light does not turn OFF after a few minutes of driving, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

If you replace an original tire with the spare tire, the TPMS sensor on the replaced spare wheel should be activated, and the TPMS sensor on the original wheel should be deactivated. If the TPMS sensor on the original wheel located in the spare tire carrier is still active, the TPMS may not operate properly. Have the tire with the TPMS serviced or replaced by an authorized Kia dealer.

You may not be able to identify a low pressure tire simply by looking at it. Always use a good quality tire pressure gauge to measure the tire’s inflation pressure. A tire that is hot (after being driven) will have a higher pressure measurement than a tire that is cold (after sitting stationary for at least 3 hours or being 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 it to the recommended pressure.

Never use tire sealant if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS. A liquid sealant can damage the tire pressure sensors, causing the following issues:

• The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and sudden tire damage caused by external factors, such as nails or road debris.

• If you feel any vehicle instability, immediately take your foot off the accelerator pedal, engage the brakes lightly and gradually, and slowly move to a safe position off the road.
