Kia recommends not performing initialization or reprogramming if the vehicle is parked on a metal floor, roof, or even on an alignment rack or lift.

When did Kia start using tire pressure sensor?

Most 2007-’10 models use clamp-on tire pressure monitoring sensors. After 2010, most models were equipped with rubber valve stems that snap into the wheel. The majority of base Kia TPMS systems do not require a relearn for tire rotation.
