Wheel nut tightening torque:
Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel:
9~11 kg.m (65~79 lb.ft)
If you have a tire gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure.
If the pressure is lower than recom-
mended, drive slowly to the nearest
service station and inflate to the cor-
rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust it
until it is correct. Always reinstall the
valve cap after checking or adjusting
tire pressure. If the cap is not
replaced, air may leak from the tire. If
you lose a valve cap, buy another and
install it as soon as possible.
After you have changed wheels,
always secure the flat tire in its place
and return the jack and tools to their
proper storage locations. To prevent the jack, jack handle,
wheel lug nut wrench and spare tire
from rattling while the vehicle is in
motion, store them properly.CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads
on the wheel studs and nuts.Make certain during wheel removal that the same nuts thatwere removed are reinstalled -or, if replaced, that nuts with metric threads and the samechamfer configuration are used.Installation of a non-metric thread nut on a metric stud orvice-versa will not secure thewheel to the hub properly andwill damage the stud so that it must be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do nothave metric threads. Be sure touse extreme care in checking for thread style before installingaftermarket lug nuts or wheels.If in doubt, we recommend thatyou 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 theloss of the wheel and a collisionresulting in serious injuries.
WARNING - Inadequate
spare tire pressure
Check the inflation pressures as
soon as possible after installing
the spare tire. Adjust it to the
specified pressure, if necessary.
Refer to “Tires and wheels” in
chapter 8.

Important - use of compact spare tire(if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a com-
pact spare tire. This compact spare
tire takes up less space than a regu-
lar-size tire. This tire is smaller than a
conventional tire and is designed for
temporary use only.
The compact spare should be inflat-
ed to 420 kPa (60 psi).
✽✽NOTICE
Check 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 to avoid all hazards. Anyroad hazard, such as a pothole or
debris, could seriously damage the
compact spare.
 Any continuous road use of this tire could result in tire failure, loss of
vehicle control, and possible per-
sonal injury.
 Do not exceed the vehicle’s maxi- mum load rating or the load-carry-
ing capacity shown on the sidewall
of the compact spare tire.
 Avoid driving over obstacles. The compact spare tire diameter issmaller than the diameter of a con-
ventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately25 mm (1 inch), which could result
in damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION
 You should drive carefully
when the compact spare is inuse. The compact spareshould be replaced by theproper conventional tire and rim at the first opportunity.
 The operation of this vehicle is not recommended withmore than one compact spare tire in use at the same time.
WARNING
The compact spare tire is for
emergency use only. Do not
operate your vehicle on thiscompact spare at the speed
over 80 km/h (50 mph). Theoriginal tire should be repaired
or replaced as soon as possible
to avoid failure of the spare
possibly leading to personal
injury or death.

What to do in an emergency
IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE (WITH TIRE MOBILITY KIT, IF EQUIPPED)
Please read the instructions before
using the Tire Mobility Kit. (1) Compressor(2) Sealant bottle Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay
mobile even after experiencing a tire
puncture. The system of compressor and seal-
ing compound effectively and com-
fortably seals most punctures in a
passenger car tire caused by nailsor similar objects and reinflates the
tire. After you ensure that the tire is
properly sealed you can drive cau-tiously on the tire (up to 200 km (120
miles)) at a max. speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph) in order to reach a vehicle
or tire dealer to have the tirereplaced.It is possible that some tires, espe-cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed
completely. Air pressure loss in the
tire may adversely affect tire per-
formance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
maneuvers, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in
use. The Tire Mobility Kit is not
designed or intended as a perma-nent tire repair method and is to be
used for one tire only.
This instruction shows you step by
step how to temporarily seal the
puncture simply and reliably. Read
the chapter "Notes on the safe use of
the Tire Mobility Kit".

1) After driving approximately 3 km
(2 miles), stop at a suitable loca- tion.
2) Connect connection hose 9 of the compressor directly to the tire
valve.
3) Connect between compressor and the vehicle power outlet using
the cable and connectors.
4) Adjust the tire inflation pressure to 220 kPa (32 psi). With the ignition
switched on, proceed as follows.
- To increase the inflation pres- sure: Switch on the compressor,
position I. To check the current
inflation pressure setting, briefly
switch off the compressor.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide poisoning
and suffocation is possible if the
engine is left running in a poorly
ventilated or unventilated loca-
tion (such as inside a building).
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes, otherwise
the device will overheat and may
be damaged.
CAUTION
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). If possible, donot fall below a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph).
While driving, if you experienceany unusual vibration, ride dis-turbance or noise, reduce yourspeed and drive with caution until you can safely pull off ofthe side of the road.
Call for road side service or tow-ing.

What to do in an emergency
- To reduce the inflation pres-sure: Press the button 8 on the
compressor. Notes on the safe use of the Tire Mobility Kit
 Park your car at the side of the
road so that you can work with the
Tire Mobility Kit away from moving
traffic. Place your warning triangle
in a prominent place to make pass-
ing vehicles aware of your location.
 To be sure your vehicle won't move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your park-
ing brake.
 Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for sealing/inflation passenger car
tires. Do not use on motorcycles,
bicycles or any other type of tires.
 Do not remove any foreign objects- such as nails or screws -that have
penetrated the tire.
 Before using the Tire Mobility Kit, read the precautionary advice
printed on the sealant bottle!
 Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise
operating the compressor may
eventually drain the car battery.  Never leave the Tire Mobility Kit
unattended while it is being used.
 Do not leave the compressor run- ning for more than 10 min. at a time
or it may overheat.
 Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).
 Do not use the sealing compound after its expiration date which can
be found on the label of the bottle.
 Keep away from children.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must
be at least 220 kPa (32 psi). If it
is not, do not continue driving.
Call for road side service or
towing.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not maintained, drive the vehicle asecond time, refer to Distributing the sealant. Thenrepeat steps 1 to 4.
Use of the Tire Mobility Kit maybe ineffectual for tire damagelarger than approximately 4 mm (0.16 in). We recommend thatyou contact an authorized Kiadealer if the tire cannot be made roadworthy with the TireMobility Kit.
WARNING
Have your tire repaired as soon
as possible. The tire may loose
air pressure at any time after
inflating with the TMK.
CAUTION
The Tire Mobility Kit is a tempo- rary fix to the tire and we rec-ommend that the tire be inspect-ed by an authorized Kia dealer as soon as possible.

What to do in an emergency
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (IF EQUIPPED)
(1) Low tire pressure telltale / TPMS malfunction indicator
(2) Low tire pressure position telltale (Shown on the instrument panel
display) Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthlywhen cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-
ard or tire inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-
sure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of yourtires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pres-
sure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-cantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and
may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-bility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator toindicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal-function indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. Whenthe system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximate-
ly 1 minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction
exists. When the TPMS malfunctionindicator remains illuminated after
blinking for approximately 1 minute,
the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intend-ed.
