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.
