Features of your vehicle

When the tire pressure monitoring sys‐
tem warning indicators are illuminated and warning massage displayed on the
cluster LCD display, one or more of
your tires is significantly under-infla‐ ted. The low tire pressure position tell‐
tale light will indicate which tire is sig‐
nificantly under-inflated by illuminating the corresponding position light.
If either telltale illuminates, immediate‐
ly reduce your speed, avoid hard cor‐
nering and anticipate increased stop‐ ping distances. You should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible. In‐
flate the tires to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle’s placard or tire inflation pressure label located on the
driver’s side center pillar outer panel. If
you cannot reach a service station or if the tire cannot hold the newly added
air, replace the low pressure tire with a
spare tire.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10 mi‐ nutes at speeds above 25 km/h after
replacing the low pressure tire with the
spare tire, one of the following will hap‐ pen: • The TPMS malfunction indicator may
blink for approximately 1 minute and
then remain continuously illuminated
because the TPMS sensor is not
mounted on the spare wheel. (changed tire equipped with a sensor
not in the vehicle)
• The TPMS malfunction indicator will remain continuously illuminated while
driving because the TPMS sensor is
not mounted on the spare wheel. (changed tire equipped with a sensor
in the vehicle)
CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the lowtire pressure telltale may illuminateif the tire pressure was adjusted tothe recommended tire inflation pres‐sure in warm weather. It does notmean your TPMS is malfunctioningbecause the decreased temperatureleads to a lowering of tire pressure.When you drive your vehicle from awarm area to a cold area or from acold area to a warm area, or theoutside temperature is higher orlower, you should check the tire in‐flation pressure and adjust the tires

to the recommended tire inflationpressure.
WARNING
nLow pressure damage
Significantly low tire pressure makesthe vehicle unstable and can contrib‐ute to loss of vehicle control and in‐creased braking distances.Continued driving on low pressuretires can cause the tires to overheatand fail.
TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indi‐ cator will illuminate after it blinks for
approximately one minute when there is a problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer to determine the cause of the problem.

•The TPMS malfunction indicatormay blink for approximately 1 mi‐nute and then remain continuouslyilluminated if snow chains are usedor some separate electronic devi‐ces such as notebook computer,mobile charger, remote starter ornavigation etc., are used in the ve‐hicle.This can interfere with normal op‐eration of the Tire Pressure Moni‐toring System (TPMS).
Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the low Tire
Pressure and Position telltales will come on. We recommend that the sys‐
tem be checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
CAUTION
We recommend that you use thesealant approved by Kia.The sealant on the tire pressuresensor and wheel shall be eliminatedwhen you replace the tire with a newone.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire pres‐
sure sensor mounted inside the tire be‐ hind the valve stem. You must use
TPMS specific wheels. It is recommen‐
ded that you have your tires serviced by an authorized Kia dealer.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10 mi‐
nutes at speeds above 25 km/h after
replacing the low pressure tire with the spare tire, one of the following will hap‐
pen: • The TPMS malfunction indicator may blink for approximately 1 minute and
then remain continuously illuminated because the TPMS sensor is not
mounted on the spare wheel.

CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not main‐tained, drive the vehicle a secondtime, refer to Distributing the seal‐ant. Then repeat steps 1 to 4.Use of the TMK may be ineffectualfor tire damage larger than approxi‐mately 4 mm (0.16 in).We recommend that you contact anauthorized Kia dealer if the tire can‐not be made roadworthy with theTire Mobility Kit.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must beat least 200 kPa (29 psi). If it is not,do not continue driving.Call for road side service or towing.
Notes on the safe use of the
Tire Mobility Kit
• Park your car at the side of the roadso that you can work with the TMK
away from moving traffic. Place your warning triangle in a prominent place
to make passing vehicles aware of
your location. • To be sure your vehicle will not move,
even when you're on fairly level
ground, always set your parking brake.
• Only use the TMK 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 TMK, read the pre‐ cautionary advice printed on the seal‐ ant bottle!
• Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise oper‐
ating the compressor may eventually
drain the car battery.
• Never leave the TMK unattended while it is being used.
• Do not leave the compressor running for more than 10 min. at a time or it
may overheat.
• Do not use the TMK if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).
• When the tire and wheel are dam‐ aged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit foryour safety.

TIRES AND WHEELS

Tire care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must al‐
ways maintain recommended tire infla‐ tion pressures and stay within the load
limits and weight distribution recom‐
mended for your vehicle.
Recommended cold tire inflation
pressures
All tire pressures (including the spare)
should be checked when the tires are cold. L

CAUTION
•Warm tires normally exceed rec‐ommended cold tire pressures by28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do notrelease air from warm tires to ad‐just the pressure or the tires willbe underinflated.
•Be sure to reinstall the tire infla‐tion valve caps. Without the valvecap, dirt or moisture could get intothe valve core and cause air leak‐age. If a valve cap is missing, in‐stall a new one as soon as possi‐ble.
WARNING
nTire inflation
Overinflation or underinflation canreduce tire life, adversely affect ve‐hicle handling, and lead to suddentire failure. This could result in lossof vehicle control and potential in‐jury.
CAUTION
nTire pressure
Always observe the following:•Check tire pressure when the tiresare cold. (After vehicle has beenparked for at least three hours orhasn't been driven more than1.6 km (one mile) since startup.)
•Check the pressure of your sparetire each time you check the pres‐sure of other tires.
•Never overload your vehicle. Becareful not to overload a vehicleluggage rack if your vehicle isequipped with one.
•Worn, old tires can cause acci‐dents. If your tread is badly worn,or if your tires have been dam‐aged, replace them.
Checking tire inflation pressure
Check your tires once a month or more.
Also, check the tire pressure of the
spare tire.
How to check
Use a good quality gauge to check tire
pressure. You can not tell if your tires are properly inflated simply by looking
at them. Radial tires may look properly
inflated even when they're underinfla‐ ted.
Check the tire's inflation pressure when
the tires are cold. - "Cold" means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least three hours or driven no more than
1.6 km (one mile).
Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve stem. Press the tire gauge firmly onto the valve to get a pressure meas‐
urement. If the cold tire inflation pres‐
sure matches the recommended pres‐ sure on the tire and loading information
label, no further adjustment is necessa‐
ry. If the pressure is low, add air until
you reach the recommended amount.
If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the cen‐
ter of the tire valve. Recheck the tire
pressure with the tire gauge. Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by
keeping out dirt and moisture.

WARNING
•Inspect your tires frequently forproper inflation as well as wearand damage. Always use a tirepressure gauge.
•Tires with too much or too littlepressure wear unevenly causingpoor handling, loss of vehicle con‐trol, and sudden tire failure leadingto accidents, injuries, and evendeath. The recommended cold tirepressure for your vehicle can befound in this manual and on thetire label located on the driver'sside center pillar.
•Worn tires can cause accidents.Replace tires that are worn, showuneven wear, or are damaged.
•Remember to check the pressureof your spare tire. Kia recom‐mends that you check the spareevery time you check the pressureof the other tires on your vehicle.
Tire rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is recommen‐
ded that the tires be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or sooner if ir‐
regular wear develops. During rotation, check the tires for cor‐
rect balance.
When rotating tires, check for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by incorrect tire pres‐
sure, improper wheel alignment, out- of-balance wheels, severe braking or
severe cornering. Look for bumps or
bulges in the tread or side of tire. Re‐ place the tire if you find either of these
conditions. Replace the tire if fabric or
cord is visible. After rotation, be sure to bring the front and rear tire pressures
to specification and check lug nut tight‐
ness.
Refer to L

NOTICE
Rotate radial tires that have an
asymmetric tread pattern only from
front to rear and not from right to
left.
WARNING
•Do not use the compact spare tire(if equipped) for tire rotation.
•Do not mix bias ply and radial plytires under any circumstances.This may cause unusual handlingcharacteristics that could result indeath, severe injury, or propertydamage.
Wheel alignment and tire
balance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the factory to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to have
your wheels aligned again. However, if
you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way or the other,
the alignment may need to be reset. If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need to be rebalanced.
CAUTION
Improper wheel weights can damageyour vehicle's aluminum wheels. Useonly approved wheel weights.
Tire replacement
06.-
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
Indicator (A) will appear as a solid band across the tread. This shows there is
less than 1.6 mm (1/16 in.) of tread left
on the tire. Replace the tire when this
happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear across the entire tread before replacing
the tire.
