Repair Agents
Never use a puncture-repairing agent
not approved by Kia to repair and/or
inflate a low pressure tire. Sealant that is
not approved by Kia may damage the
tire pressure sensor.
If the system is able to correctly detect
an underinflation warning at the same
time as system failure, it will appear both
the TPMS malfunction and the low tire
pressure position telltales. For example,
if the Front Left sensor fails, the TPMS
malfunction indicator appears, but if the
Front Right, Rear Left, or Rear Right tire
is underinflated, the low tire pressure
position telltales may appear together
with the TPMS malfunction indicator.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire pres
sure 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
telltale will remain on until the low pres
sure tire is repaired and placed on the
vehicle.
Have the system checked by an autho
rized Kia dealer as soon as possible to
determine the cause of the problem.
