10. Mount the spare tire into position
and install the wheel lug nuts
with the beveled edge inward.11. Gradually loosen the valve of the
jack with the groove on the jack
handle to lower the vehicle.12. 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 “star”
pattern.
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 9~12 kg•m (88-118
N•m, 65-87 ft•Ib).

CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads
on the wheel studs and nuts.
Make certain during wheel
removal that the same nuts
removed are reinstalled - or, if
replaced, that nuts with metric
threads and the same chamfer
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.
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, consult an
Authorized Kia Dealer.
WARNING- Wheel Studs
If the studs are damaged, they
may lose their ability to retain
the wheel. This could lead to the
loss of the wheel and a colli-
sion.
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.
