Remove the valve cap from the tyre
valve stem. Press the tyre gage firm-
ly onto the valve to get a pressure
measurement. If the cold tyre infla-tion pressure matches the recom-mended pressure on the tyre and
loading information label, no further
adjustment is necessary. If the pres-
sure is low, add air until you reachthe recommended amount.
If you overfill the tyre, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the
centre of the tyre valve. Recheck the
tyre pressure with the tyre gage. Be
sure to put the valve caps back on
the valve stems. They help prevent
leaks by keeping out dirt and mois-
ture. Tyre rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is recom- mended that the tyres be rotated
every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
During rotation, check the tyres for
correct balance.
When rotating tyres, check for
uneven wear and damage. Abnormal
wear is usually caused by incorrect
tyre pressure, improper wheel align-
ment, out-of-balance wheels, severe
braking or severe cornering. Look for
bumps or bulges in the tread or side
of tyre. Replace the tyre if you find
either of these conditions. Replace
the tyre if fabric or cord is visible.
After rotation, be sure to bring thefront and rear tyre pressures to spec-
ification and check lug nut tightness.
Refer to “Tyre and wheels” in section 8.
WARNING
 Inspect your tyres frequently for proper inflation as well as
wear and damage. Always use
a tyre pressure gauge.
 Tyres with too much or too lit- tle pressure wear unevenly
causing poor handling, loss of
vehicle control, and suddentyre failure leading to acci-
dents, injuries, and even death.The recommended cold tyre
pressure for your vehicle can
be found in this manual and onthe tyre label located on the
driver's side centre pillar.
 Worn tyres can cause acci- dents. Replace tyres that are
worn, show uneven wear, or
are damaged.
 Remember to check the pres- sure of your spare tyre. Kia
recommends that you check
the spare every time you
check the pressure of the
other tyres on your vehicle.

Tyre replacement
If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread
wear indicator will appear as a solid
band across the tread. This showsthere is less than 1.6 mm (1/16 inch)
of tread left on the tyre. Replace the
tyre when this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tyre.
✽✽
NOTICE
We recommend that when replacing
tyres, use the same originally sup-
plied with the vehicles.
If not, that affects driving perform-
ance.
OEN076053
Tread wear indicatorWARNING - Replacing
tyres
To reduce the chance or serious
or fatal injuries from an acci-
dent caused by tyre failure or
loss of vehicle control:
 Replace tyres that are worn, show uneven wear, or are
damaged. Worn tyres can
cause loss of braking effec-
tiveness, steering control, andtraction.
 Do not drive your vehicle with too little or too much pressure
in your tyres. This can lead to
uneven wear and tyre failure.
 When replacing tyres, never mix radial and bias-ply tyres
on the same car. You must
replace all tyres (including the
spare) if moving from radial to
bias-ply tyres.
(Continued)(Continued)
 Using tyres and wheel otherthan the recommended sizes
could cause unusual handling
characteristics and poor vehi-
cle control, resulting in a seri-ous accident.
 Wheels that do not meet rec- ommended Kia’s specifica-
tions may fit poorly and result
in damage to the vehicle or
unusual handling and poor
vehicle control.
 The ABS works by comparing the speed of the wheels. Tyre
size can affect wheel speed.
When replacing tyres, all 4
tyres must use the same size
originally supplied with the
vehicle. Using tyres of a dif-
ferent size can cause the ABS
(Anti-lock Brake System) and
ESP (Electronic Stability
Program) to work irregularly.(if equipped)

5. Maximum permissible inflation
pressure
This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should be put in
the tyre. Do not exceed the maximum
permissible inflation pressure. Refer
to the Tyre and Loading Information
label for recommended inflation
pressure.
6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds that
can be carried by the tyre. When
replacing the tyres on the vehicle,
always use a tyre that has the same
load rating as the factory installed
tyre.
7. Uniform tyre quality grading
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tyre sidewall
between tread shoulder and maxi-
mum section width.
For example:
TREAD wear 200
TRACTION AA
TEMPERATURE A
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a compara-
tive rating based on the wear rate ofthe tyre when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified govern-
ment test course. For example, a tyre
graded 150 would wear one-and-a-
half times (1½) as well on the gov-
ernment course as a tyre graded100.
The relative performance of tyres depends upon the actual conditions
of their use, however, and may
depart significantly from the norm
due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate. These grades are molded on the
side-walls of passenger vehicle
tyres. The tyres available as standard
or optional equipment on your vehi-
cle may vary with respect to grade.
Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those
grades represent the tyre’s ability to
stop on wet pavement measuredunder controlled conditions on spec-
ified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tyre marked
C may have poor traction perform-
ance.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tyre is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests,
and does not include accelera-
tion, cornering, hydroplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.

Temperature -A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B, and C, representing the
tyre’s resistance to the generation ofheat and its ability to dissipate heatwhen tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratorytest wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tyre to
degenerate and reduce tyre life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tyre failure. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of perform-
ance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.Low aspect ratio tyre (if equipped)
Low aspect ratio tyres, whose aspect
ratio is lower than 50, are provided
for sporty looks.
Because the low aspect ratio tyres
are optimized for handling and brak-
ing, it may be more uncomfortable to
ride in and there is more noise com-
pare with normal tyres.
WARNING
- Tyre
temperature
The temperature grade for this
tyre is established for a tyre that
is properly inflated and not over-
loaded. Excessive speed, under-
inflation, or excessive loading,
either separately or in combina-
tion, can cause heat build-up
and sudden tyre failure. This can
cause loss of vehicle control
and serious injury or death.
CAUTION
Because the sidewall of the low aspect ratio tyre is shorter thanthe normal, the wheel and tyre of the low aspect ratio tyre iseasier to be damaged. So, followthe instructions below.
- When driving on a rough road or off road, drive cautiouslybecause tyres and wheels maybe damaged. And after driving, inspect tyres and wheels.
- When passing over a pothole, speed bump, manhole, or kerbstone, drive slowly so that thetyres and wheels are not dam- aged.
(Continued)
(Continued)- If the tyre is impacted, we rec- ommend that you inspect thetyre condition or contact an authorised Kia dealer.
- To prevent damage to the tyre, inspect the tyre condition andpressure every 3,000km.
CAUTION
 It is not easy to recognize the tyre damage with your owneyes. But if there is the slight- est hint of tyre damage, eventhough you cannot see thetyre damage with your own eyes, have the tyre checked orreplaced because the tyredamage may cause air leak- age from the tyre.
 If the tyre is damaged by driv- ing on a rough road, off road,pothole, manhole, or kerbstone, it will not be covered by the warranty.
 You can find out the tyre infor- mation on the tyre sidewall.
