2005 KIA Rio lock

In Case Of An Emergency6-206. For models with alloy wheels, remove the center
cap.
WARNING - Changing a Front
Tire
When one front wheel is lifted off the ground,
neither the automatic transaxle P (Park)
position nor the manual transaxle R (Reverse)
position will prevent the vehicle from moving
and possibly slipping off the jack, even if these
positions are properly engaged. To prevent
vehicle movements while changing a tire,
always set the parking brake fully, and always
block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel
being changed.
7. Loosen the four lug nuts counterclockwise one turn
each, but do not remove any nut until the tire has
been raised off the ground.

8. Place the jack at the front or rear jacking position
closest to the tire you are changing. Place the jack
under the side sill at the designated location.
9. Insert the jack handle into the jack and turn it
clockwise, raising the vehicle until the tire just
clears the ground, approximately 30 mm (1.2 in.).
Before removing the lug nuts, make sure the
vehicle is stable and that there is no chance for it to
slip or move.
WARNING -Jack Location
To reduce the possibility of injury, be sure to
use only the jack provided with the vehicle and
in the correct jack position; never use any
other part of the vehicle for jack support.

In Case Of An Emergency6-22
Once the lug nuts have been tightened, lower the
vehicle fully to the ground and continue to tighten the
lug nuts until they are completely secured.
If you are unsure of the tightness of the wheel lug nuts,
have them checked at the nearest service station. The
specified tightening torque is 103 N.
m (76 ft. lb.).
CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on the wheel studs
and nuts. During wheel removal, make certain
that the same nuts removed are reinstalled - or, if
replaced, that nuts with metric threads and the
same configuration are used. Installation of a non-
metric thread nut on a metric stud or vice-versa
will not secure the wheel to the hub properly and
will damage the stud so that it must be replaced.
Be sure to use extreme care in checking for thread
style before installing aftermarket lug nuts or
wheels. If in doubt, consult an Authorized Kia
Dealer. Damaged studs may result in wheel loss
and personal injury.
10. Remove the lug nuts by turning them
counterclockwise, then remove the wheel.
11. Mount the spare tire into position and tighten the
nuts by hand. Install the lug nuts with the beveled
edge inward.
12. Turn the jack handle counterclockwise and lower
the vehicle until it touches the ground. Tighten the
lug nuts firmly in an “X’’ pattern.

Checking the Coolant Level
Check the condition and connections of all cooling
system hoses and heater hoses. Replace any swollen or
deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be full in the radiator
and between F (Full) and L (Low) on the coolant
reservoir dipstick when the engine is cool.
Check the coolant level using the dipstick attached to
the reservoir cap.
7-17
WARNING -Removing
Radiator Cap
 Never attempt to remove the radiator cap
while the engine is operating. Doing so
might lead to cooling system and/or engine
damage and could result in serious personal
injury from escaping hot coolant or steam.
Turn the engine off and wait until it has
cooled. Even then, use extreme care when
removing the radiator cap. Wrap a thick
towel around it, and turn it
counterclockwise slowly to the first stop.
Step back while the pressure is released
from the cooling system. When you are sure
all the pressure has been released, press
down on the cap, using a thick towel, and
continue turning counterclockwise to
remove it.
 Even if the engine is not operating, do not
remove the radiator cap or the drain plug
while the engine and radiator are hot. Hot
coolant and steam may still blow out under
pressure, causing serious injury.

1. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise and remove
it.
2. Loosen the radiator drain plug and drain the coolant
into a suitable container.
3. With the drain plug loose, flush the system with
running water.
4. Drain the system completely and retighten the drain
plug. Add the necessary amount of ethylene glycol-
based coolant and water to provide the required
protection against freezing and corrosion.
In extremely cold climates, add the necessary
amount of ethylene glycol-based coolant in
accordance with the instructions of the coolant
manufacturer.
5. Run the engine at idle with the radiator cap off.
Slowly add additional coolant if necessary.
6. At this point, wait until the engine reaches normal
operating temperature. Depress the accelerator two
or three times; then add coolant if required. Be
careful not to burn yourself.
7. Install the radiator cap. Inspect all connections for
leaks and recheck the coolant level in the reservoir.
Recheck again after a few days of driving and add
coolant as necessary.

Body LubricationAll moving points of the body, such as doors, hood
hinges and locks, should be lubricated each time the
engine oil is changed.
Use a non-freezing lubricant on locks during cold
weather.
Make sure the engine hood secondary latch keeps the
hood from opening when the primary latch is released.
Lubricants and FluidsChecking the Washer Fluid LevelCheck the fluid level in the washer fluid reservoir and
add fluid if necessary.
Plain water may be used if washer fluid is not
available. However, use windshield washer solvent
with antifreeze characteristics in cold climates to
prevent freezing.Maintenance7-26
CAUTION
 Do not use radiator coolant or antifreeze in the
washer fluid reservoir.
 Radiator coolant can severely obscure visibility
when sprayed on the windshield and may
cause loss of vehicle control or damage to
paint and body trim.
