In case of an emergency
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.

In case of an emergency22
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 thesame 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 threadnut on a metric stud or vice-versawill not secure the wheel to the hubproperly and will damage the studso that it must be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do not havemetric threads. Be sure to use extreme care in checking for threadstyle before installing aftermarket lug nuts or wheels. If in doubt, con-sult an authorized Kia dealer.

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.
