• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continuous-
ly illuminated if the vehicle is moving
around electric power supply cables
or radios transmitters such as at
police stations, government and
public offices, broadcasting sta-
tions, military installations, airports,
or transmitting towers, etc.This can
interfere with normal operation of
the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS).
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continuous-
ly illuminated if snow chains are
used or some separate electronic
devices such as notebook comput-
er, mobile charger, remote starter or
navigation etc., are used in the vehi-
cle. 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 telltale will come on. 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. It is rec-
ommended that you 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 telltale will remain on until
the low pressure tire is repaired and
placed on the vehicle.
After you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the TPMS
malfunction indicator may illuminate
after a few minutes because the
TPMS sensor mounted on the spare
wheel is not initiated.
Once the low pressure tire is reinflat-
ed to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or the
TPMS sensor mounted on the
replaced spare wheel is initiated by
an authorized Kia dealer, the TPMS
malfunction indicator and the low tire
pressure telltale will extinguish within
a few minutes of driving.
If the indicator is not extinguished
after a few minutes of driving, please
visit an authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION - Repair Agents
Never use a puncture-repairing
agent not approved by Kia to
repair and/or inflate a low pres-
sure tire. The tire sealant not
approved by Kia may damage
the tire pressure sensor.
