In case of an emergency
✽
✽NOTICETo prevent internal damage to the
transaxle, never tow your vehicle from
the rear (backwards) with all four tires
in contact with the surface. Tips for towing a stuck vehicleThe following methods are effective
when your vehicle is stuck in mud, sand
or similar substances that prevent the
vehicle from being driven out under its
own power.
 Remove the soil and sand, etc. from
the front and the back of the tires.
 Place a stone or wood under the tires. The spare tire, jack, jack handle, front
towing hook, wheel lug nut wrench are
stored in the luggage compartment.
Move the carpeting out of the way to
reach this equipment.
Removing the spare tire Turn the tire hold-down wing bolt coun-
terclockwise.
Store the tire in the reverse order of
removal.
To prevent the spare tire and tools from
“rattling” while the vehicle is in motion,
store them properly.

6Important - use of compact spare
tireyour vehicle is equipped with a compact
spare tire. This compact spare tire takes
up less space than a regular-size tire.
This tire is smaller than a conventional
tire and is designed for temporary use
only.
The compact spare should be inflated to
60 psi (420 kPa).
✽ ✽
NOTICECheck the inflation pressure after
installing the spare tire. Adjust it to the
specified pressure, as necessary.When using a compact spare tire,
observe the following precautions:
 Under no circumstances should you
exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a higher
speed could damage the tire.
 Ensure that you drive slowly enough for the road conditions to avoid all haz-
ards. Any road hazard, such as a pot-
hole or debris, could seriously damage
the compact spare.
 Any continuous road use of this tire could result in tire failure, loss of vehi-
cle control, and possible personal
injury.
 Do not exceed the vehicle’s maximum load rating or the load-carrying capaci-
ty shown on the sidewall of the com-
pact spare tire.
 Avoid driving over obstacles. The com- pact spare tire diameter is smaller than
the diameter of a conventional tire and
reduces the ground clearance approxi-
mately 25 mm (1 inch), which could
result in damage to the vehicle.  Do not take this vehicle through an
automatic car wash.
 Do not use tire chains on this tire. Because of the smaller size, a tire
chain will not fit properly. This could
damage the vehicle and result in loss
of the chain.
 This tire should not be installed on the front axle if the vehicle must be driven
in snow or on ice.
 Do not use the compact spare tire on any other vehicle because this tire has
been designed especially for your vehi-
cle.
 The compact spare tire’s tread life is shorter than a regular tire. Inspect your
compact spare tire regularly and
replace worn compact spare tires with
the same size and design, mounted on
the same wheel.
CAUTION
 You should drive carefully whenthe compact spare is in use. The
compact spare should be
replaced by the proper conven-
tional tire and rim at the first
opportunity.
 The operation of this vehicle is not recommended with more than
one compact spare tire in use at
the same time.
CAUTION
This spare tire should be used only
for VERY short distances. Compact
spares should NEVER be used for
long drives or extended distances.

64. Remove the wheel lug nut wrench,
jack, jack handle, and spare tire from
the vehicle.
5. Block both the front and rear of the wheel that is diagonally opposite the
jack position. 6. Wrap a piece of cloth around the tip of
the screwdriver to avoid scratching.
Insert a screwdriver into the notch of
the wheel cover and pry gently to
remove the wheel cover (if equipped).
WARNING
- Changing a tire
 To prevent vehicle movement while changing a tire, always set
the parking brake fully, and
always block the wheel diagonal-
ly opposite the wheel being
changed.
 It is recommended that the wheels of the vehicle be chocked,
and that no person should remain
in a vehicle that is being jacked.

7. Loosen the wheel lug nuts counter-clockwise 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 jack-
ing position closest to the tire you are
changing. Place the jack at the desig-
nated locations under the frame. The
jacking positions are plates welded to
the frame with two tabs and a raised
dot to index with the jack. 9. Insert the jack handle into the jack and
turn it clockwise, raising the vehicle
until the tire just clears the ground.
This measurement is approximately
30 mm (1.2 in). Before removing the
wheel lug nuts, make sure the vehicle
is stable and that there is no chance
for movement or slippage.
10. Remove the wheel lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise, then remove
the wheel.
11. Mount the spare tire into position and install the wheel lug nuts with the
beveled edge inward.

WARNING
- Jack location
To reduce the possibility of injury,
be sure to use only the jack provid-
ed with the vehicle and in the cor-
rect jack position; never use any
other part of the vehicle for jack
support.

612. Once the wheel lug nuts have been
tightened, lower the vehicle fully to the
ground and continue to tighten the lug
nuts until they are fully secured.
Tighten the wheel lug nuts firmly in a
“X” pattern.
If you are unsure of the tightness of
the wheel lug nuts, have them
checked at the nearest service sta-
tion. The specified tightening torque is
9~11 kgm (65-79 lbft, 88-107 Nm).
Improperly tightened wheel lug nuts
could cause brake pedal vibration
while braking. To prevent the jack, jack handle, wheel
lug nut wrench and spare tire from rat-
tling while the vehicle is in motion, store
them properly.
CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on
the wheel studs and nuts. Make cer-
tain during wheel removal that the
same nuts removed are reinstalled -
or, if replaced, that nuts with metric
threads and the same chamfer con-
figuration 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.
Note that most lug nuts do not have
metric threads. Be sure to use
extreme care in checking for thread
style before installing aftermarket
lug nuts or wheels. If in doubt, con-
sult an authorized Kia dealer.
1JBA6027
WARNING
- Wheel studs
If the studs are damaged or if non-
metric nut is used on a metric stud
or vice versa, they may lose their
ability to retain the wheel. This
could lead to the loss of the wheel
in a collision resulting in severe
injury or death.
WARNING
Check the inflation pressures as
soon as possible after installing the
spare tire. Adjust it to the specified
pressure, if necessary. Refer to
Section 8, Specifications.

Maintenance
OWNER MAINTENANCE Owner maintenance schedule The following lists are vehicle checks and
inspections that should be performed by
the owner or an authorized Kia dealer at
the frequencies indicated to help ensure
safe, dependable operation of your vehi-
cle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your dealer as
soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance Checks are
generally not covered by warranties and
you may be charged for labor, parts and
lubricants used.
When you stop for fuel:
 Check the engine oil level.
 Check coolant level in coolant reser-voir.
 Check the windshield washer fluid level.
 Look for low or under-inflated tires. While operating your vehicle:
 Note any changes in the sound of the
exhaust or any smell of exhaust fumes
in the vehicle.
 Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steering
effort or looseness in the steering
wheel, or change in its straight-ahead
position.
 Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side when trav-
eling on smooth, level road.
 When stopping, listen and check for strange sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or “hard-
to-push” brake pedal.
 If any slipping or changes in the oper- ation of your transaxle occurs, check
the transaxle fluid level.
 Check automatic transaxle P (Park) function.
 Check parking brake.
 Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air condition-
ing system during or after use is nor-
mal). At least monthly:
 Check coolant level in the coolant
recovery reservoir.
 Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the stoplights, turn sig-
nals and hazard warning flashers.
 Check the inflation pressures of all tires including the spare.
At least twice a year
(i.e., every Spring and Fall) :
 Check radiator, heater and air condi- tioning hoses for leaks or damage.
 Check windshield washer spray and wiper operation. Clean wiper blades
with clean cloth dampened with wash-
er fluid.
 Check headlight alignment.
 Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields and clamps.
 Check the lap/shoulder belts for wear and function.
 Check for worn tires and loose wheel lug nuts.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. Scalding hot coolant
and steam may blow out under
pressure. This could cause burns or
other serious injury.

Maintenance
TIRES AND WHEELS Tire care For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tire
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.Recommended cold tire infla-
tion pressures All tire pressures (including the
spare) should be checked every day
when the tires are cold. “Cold Tires”
means the vehicle has not been driv-
en for at least three hours or driven
less than 1.6 km (one mile).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, top vehi-
cle handling, and minimum tire wear.All specifications (sizes and pres-
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the vehicle.
✽ ✽
NOTICE Underinflation also results in
excessive wear, poor handling and
reduced fuel economy. Wheel
deformation also is possible. Keep
your tire pressures at the proper
levels. If a tire frequently needs
refilling, have it checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.
 Overinflation produces a harsh ride, excessive wear at the center
of the tire tread, and a greater pos-
sibility of damage from road haz-
ards.
WARNING -
Tire underin-
flation
Severe underinflation (10 psi (70
kPa) or more) can lead to severe
heat build-up, causing blowouts,
tread separation and other tire
failures that can result in the
loss of vehicle control leading to
severe injury or death. This risk
is much higher on hot days and
when driving for protracted peri-
ods at high speeds.
