2006 KIA Magnetis tire pressure

This can be found on the driver side
door.
The correct tire pressure is 210 kPa (30
psi). The compact spare should be at
420kPa (60 psi).

NOTICE
• Warm tires normally exceed
recommended cold tire
pressures by 28 to 41 kPa(4 to 6
psi). Do not release air from
warm tires to adjust the
pressure. The tires will become
underinflated when cold.
• Underinflation results in
excessive wear, poor handling,
reduced fuel economy, and the
possibility of blowouts from
overheated tires. Also, low tire
pressure can cause poor sealing
of the tire bead. If the tire
pressure is excessively low,
wheel deformation and/or tire
separation are possible.
Keep tire pressures at the
proper levels. If a tire frequently
needs refilling, have it checked
by an Authorized Kia Dealer or
a tire shop.
• Overinflation produces a harsh
ride, handling problems,
excessive wear at the center of
the tire tread, and a greater
possibility of damage from road
hazards.
WARNING -
Tire Inflation
Overinflation or underinflation
can reduce tire life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tire failure. This
could result in loss of vehicle
control.

TIRE ROTATIONTo equalize tread wear, it is
recommended that the tires be rotated
every 12,000km (7,500 miles) or sooner
if irregular wear develops.
During tire rotation, check the tires for
correct balance.
Check for uneven wear and damage.
Abnormal wear is usually caused by
incorrect tire pressure, improper wheel
alignment, an out-of-balance condition,
severe braking or severe cornering.Look for bumps or bulges in the tread or
side of tire. Replace the tire if you find
either of these conditions. Also, replace
the tire if you can see fabric or cord.
After rotation, be sure to bring the front
and rear tire pressures to specification
and check lug nut tightness.
Disc brake pads should be inspected for
wear whenever tires are rotated.
TIRE REPLACEMENTIf the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear as a solid band,
12.7mm wide (1/2 inch) across the
tread. This shows there is less than
1.6mm (1/16 inch) of tread remaining on
the tire. Replace the tire when this
happens.
Do not wait for this band to appear
across the entire tread before replacing
the tire.

NOTICE
Rotate radial tires that have an
asymmetric tread pattern from
front to rear only and not from
right to left.

7-42HEADLIGHT AIMING
ADJUSTMENTBefore performing aiming adjustment,
make sure of the following.
1. Keep all tires inflated to the correct
pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and
press the front bumper & rear
bumper down several times.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded
(except for full levels of coolant,
engine oil and fuel, and spare tire, jack,
and tools). Have the driver sit in the
driver’s seat or use equivalent weight.4. Clean the headlight lenses and turn
on the headlight (Low beam).
5. Open the hood.
6. Draw a vertical line (through the
center of each headlight) and the
horizontal line (through the center of
each headlight) on the aiming screen.
1) Horizontal line dimension from
ground: 628 mm (24.72 in)
2) Distance between each vertical
line : 1,306 mm (49.17 in)
And then, draw a parallel line at 30
mm (1.18 in) place under the
horizontal line.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low
beam to the parallel line with a
Phillips screwdriver.
ADJUSTMENT AFTER
HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY
REPLACEMENTIf the vehicle has had front body repair
and the headlight assembly has been
replaced, the headlight aiming should be
checked using the aiming screen as
shown in the illustration. Turn on the
headlight switch. (Low Beam Position)
1. Adjust headlights so that main axis of
light is parallel to center line of the
body and is aligned with point “P”
shown in the illustration.
