Removing and storing the spare tyre
Your spare tyre is stored underneath
your vehicle, directly below the cargoarea.
To remove the spare tyre:
1.Open the tailgate and luggage
under tray cover.
2.Find the plastic hex bolt cover (1) and remove the cover. 3.Connect the socket and wheel lug
nut wrench.
4.Use the wheel lug nut wrench to loosen the bolt enough to lower the
spare tyre.
Turn the wrench counterclockwise until the spare tyre reaches the
ground. 5.After the spare tyre reaches the
ground, continue to turn the
wrench counterclockwise, and
draw the spare tyre outside. Never
rotate the wrench excessively, oth-
erwise the spare tyre carrier maybe damaged.
6.Remove the retainer (1) from the centre of the spare tyre.

What to do in an emergency
To store the spare tyre:
1.Lay the tyre on the ground with thevalve stem facing up.
2.Place the wheel under the vehicle and install the retainer (1) through
the wheel centre.
3.Turn the wrench clockwise until it clicks. Changing tyres
1.Park on a level surface and apply
the parking brake firmly.
2.Shift the shift lever into R (Reverse) with manual transaxle or
P (Park) with automatic transaxle /
dual clutch transmission.
3.Activate the hazard warning flasher.

WARNING
Ensure the spare tyre retainer is
properly aligned with the centre
of the spare tyre to prevent the
spare tyre “rattling”. Otherwise,
it may cause the spare tyre tofall off the carrier and lead to anaccident.

4.Remove the wheel lug nut wrench,
jack, jack handle, and spare tyre
from the vehicle.
5.Block both the front and rear of the wheel that is diagonally opposite
the jack position. 6.Loosen the wheel lug nuts counter-
clockwise one turn each, but do
not remove any nut until the tyre
has been raised off the ground.

WARNING - Changing a
tyre
To prevent vehicle movement whilst changing a tyre, always
set the parking brake fully,
and always block the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel
being changed.
We recommend that the wheels of the vehicle be
blocked, and that no person
remain in a vehicle that is
being jacked.

What to do in an emergency
7.Place the jack at the front (1) orrear (2) jacking position closest to
the tyre you are changing. Place
the jack at the designated locations
under the frame. The jacking posi-
tions are plates welded to the
frame with two tabs and a raised
dot to index with the jack. 8.Insert the jack handle into the jack
and turn it clockwise, raising the
vehicle until the tyre just clears the
ground. This measurement is
approximately 30 mm (1.2 in).
Before removing the wheel lug
nuts, make sure the vehicle is sta-
ble and that there is no chance for
movement or slippage.
9.Loosen the wheel nuts and remove them with your fingers. Slide the
wheel off the studs and lay it flat so
it cannot roll away. To put the wheel
on the hub, pick up the spare tyre,line up the holes with the studs andslide the wheel onto them.

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

If this is difficult, tip the wheel slight- ly and get the top hole in the wheel
lined up with the top stud. Then jig-
gle the wheel back and forth until
the wheel can be slid over the other
studs. 10. To reinstall the wheel, hold it on
the studs, put the wheel nuts onthe studs and tighten them finger
tight. Jiggle the tyre to be sure itis completely seated, then tight-
en the nuts as much as possible
with your fingers again.
11. Lower the car to the ground by turning the wheel nut wrench
counterclockwise.
Then position the wrench as shown
in the drawing and tighten the wheel
nuts. Be sure the socket is seated
completely over the nut. Do not standon the wrench handle or use an
extension pipe over the wrench han-
dle. Go around the wheel tightening
every other nut until they are all tight.
Then double-check each nut for
tightness. After changing wheels, werecommend that the system be
checked by an authorised Kia dealer.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
Steel wheel & aluminum alloy wheel:11~13 kgf·m (79~94 lbf·ft)
WARNING
Wheels and wheel covers may
have sharp edges. Handle them
carefully to avoid possible
severe injury. Before putting the
wheel into place, be sure thatthere is nothing on the hub or
wheel (such as mud, tar, gravel,
etc.) that prevents with the
wheel from fitting solidly
against the hub.
If there is, remove it. If there is not good contact on the mount-ing surface between the wheel
and hub, the wheel nuts couldcome loose and cause the loss
of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may
result in loss of control of the
vehicle. This may cause serious
injury or death.

What to do in an emergency
If you have a tyre 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 tyre pressure. If the cap is
not replaced, air may leak from the
tyre. If you lose a valve cap, buyanother and install it as soon as pos-
sible.
After you have changed wheels,
always secure the flat tyre in its place
and return the jack and tools to their
proper storage locations.To prevent the jack, jack handle,
wheel lug nut wrench, socket and
spare tyre from rattling whilst the
vehicle is in motion, store them prop-
erly.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-metricthread nut on a metric stud or vice-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 checkingfor thread style before installing aftermarket lug nuts or wheels.If in doubt, we recommend thatyou consult an authorised 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 tyre pressure
Check the inflation pressures
as soon as possible after
installing the spare tyre. Adjust
it to the specified pressure, if
necessary. Refer to “Tyres and
wheels” chapter 9.

723
What to do in an emergency
Do not take this vehicle through anautomatic car wash whilst the com- pact spare tyre is installed.
Do not use tyre chains on the com- pact spare tyre. Because of the
smaller size, a tyre chain will not fit
properly. This could damage the
vehicle and result in loss of thechain.
The compact spare tyre 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 tyre on any other vehicle because thistyre has been designed especially
for your vehicle.
The compact spare tyre’s tread life is shorter than a regular tyre.
Inspect your compact spare tyre
regularly and replace worn com-
pact spare tyres with the same sizeand design, mounted on the samewheel. The compact spare tyre should not
be used on any other wheels, nor
should standard tyres, snow tyres,
wheel covers or trim rings be used
with the compact spare wheel. Ifsuch use is attempted, damage tothese items or other car compo-
nents may occur.
Do not use more than one compact spare tyre at a time.
Do not tow a trailer whilst the com- pact spare tyre is installed.

727
What to do in an emergency
It is possible that some tyres, espe- cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed
completely.
Air pressure loss in the tyre may
adversely affect tyre performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
manoeuvres, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in use.
The TMK is not designed or intended
as a permanent tyre repair method
and is to be used for one tyre only.
This instruction shows you step by
step how to temporarily seal the
puncture simply and reliably.

use of the TMK".0.Speed restriction label

OAM060015LWARNING
Do not use the TMK if a tyre is
severely damaged by drivingrun flat or with insufficient air
pressure. Only punctured areaslocated within the tread regionof the tyre can be sealed usingthe TMK.
