WINTER DRIVING
Severe weather conditions in the winter result in greater wear and other prob‐
lems. To minimize the problems of win‐
ter driving, you should follow these suggestions: ❈ Snow tires and tire chains for the
national language (Icelandic, Bul‐
garian) see Chapter 11, Appendix.
Snowy or icy conditions
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tires or to install tire chains on your tires. If
snow tires are needed, it is necessary
to select tires equivalent in size and type of the original equipment tires.
Failure to do so may adversely affect
the safety and handling of your vehicle. Furthermore, speeding, rapid accelera‐
tion, sudden brake applications, and
sharp turns are potentially very haz‐ ardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine braking
to the fullest extent. Sudden brake ap‐
plications on snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur. You need to keep
sufficient distance between the vehicle
in operation in front and your vehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should
be noted that installing tire chains on
the tire will provide a greater driving force, but will not prevent side skids.
NOTICE
Tire chains are not legal in all coun‐
tries. Check the country laws before
fitting tire chains.
Snow tires
If you mount snow tires on your vehi‐
cle, make sure they are radial tires of the same size and load range as the
original tires. Mount snow tires on all
four wheels to balance your vehicle’s handling in all weather conditions. Keep
in mind that the traction provided by
snow tires on dry roads may not be as high as your vehicle's original equip‐
ment tires. You should drive cautiously
even when the roads are clear. Check with the tire dealer for maximum
speed recommendations.
Do not install studded tires without
first checking local, state and municipal regulations for possible restrictions
against their use.
WARNING
nSnow tire size
Snow tires should be equivalent insize and type to the vehicle's stand‐ard tires. Otherwise, the safety andhandling of your vehicle may be ad‐versely affected.

Tire chains
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner, they can be damaged by mounting some types of snow chains
on them. Therefore, the use of snow
tires is recommended instead of snow chains. Do not mount tire chains on ve‐
hicles equipped with aluminum wheels;
snow chains may cause damage to the wheels. If snow chains must be used,
use wire-type chains with a thickness
of less than 12 mm (0.47 in). Damage
to your vehicle caused by improper
snow chain use is not covered by your
vehicle manufacturers warranty.
Install tire chains only on the front tires.
CAUTION
•Make sure the snow chains are thecorrect size and type for yourtires. Incorrect snow chains cancause damage to the vehicle bodyand suspension and may not becovered by your vehicle manufac‐turer warranty. Also, the snowchain connecting hooks may bedamaged from contacting vehiclecomponents causing the snowchains to come loose from the tire.Make sure the snow chains areSAE class "S" certified.
•Always check chain installation forproper mounting after driving ap‐proximately 0.5 to 1 km (0.3 to 0.6miles) to ensure safe mounting.Retighten or remount the chains ifthey are loose.
Chain installation
When installing chains, follow the man‐
ufacturer's instructions and mount them as tightly as you can. Drive slowly
with chains installed. If you hear the
chains contacting the body or chassis, stop and tighten them. If they still
make contact, slow down until it stops.
Remove the chains as soon as you be‐ gin driving on cleared roads.
WARNING
nMounting chains
When mounting snow chains, parkthe vehicle on level ground awayfrom traffic. Turn on the vehicleHazard Warning flashers and place atriangular emergency warning devicebehind the vehicle if available. Al‐ways place the vehicle in P (Park),apply the parking brake and turn offthe engine before installing snowchains.
WARNING
nTire chains
•The use of chains may adverselyaffect vehicle handling.
•Do not exceed 30 km/h (20 mph)or the chain manufacturer’s rec‐ommended speed limit, whicheveris lower.

Use approved window washer
anti-freeze in system
To keep the water in the window wash‐er system from freezing, add an ap‐
proved window washer anti-freeze sol‐
ution in accordance with instructions on the container. Window washer anti-
freeze is available from an authorized
Kia dealer and most auto parts outlets. Do not use engine coolant or other
types of anti-freeze as these may
damage the paint finish.
Don't let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged posi‐ tion. This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk the
parking brake may freeze, apply it only
temporarily while you put the shift lev‐ er in P (Automatic Transaxle / Dual
clutch transmission) or in first or re‐
verse gear (manual transaxle) and block
the rear wheels so the vehicle cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.
Don't let ice and snow
accumulate underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice can build up under the fenders and in‐
terfere with the steering. When driving
in severe winter conditions where this may happen, you should periodically
check underneath the vehicle to be sure
the movement of the front wheels and the steering components is not ob‐
structed.
Carry emergency equipment
Depending on the severity of the
weather, you should carry appropriate emergency equipment. Some of the
items you may want to carry include
tire chains, tow straps or chains, flash‐ light, emergency flares, sand, shovel,
jumper cables, window scraper, gloves,
ground cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.

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.

Tire traction
Tire traction can be reduced if you drive
on worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated or on slippery road surfaces.
Tires should be replaced when tread
wear indicators appear. Slow down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on
the road to reduce the possibility of
losing control of the vehicle.
Tire maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease tire wear. If you find a tire is worn uneven‐
ly, have your dealer check the wheel
alignment.
When you have new tires installed, make sure they are balanced. This will
increase vehicle ride comfort and tire
life. Additionally, a tire should always be rebalanced if it is removed from the
wheel.
Tire sidewall labeling
0+'- 







This information identifies and de‐
scribes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides the tire
identification number (TIN) for safety
standard certification. The TIN can be used to identify the tire in case of a re‐
call.
1. Manufacturer or brand name
Manufacturer or Brand name is shown.
2. Tire size designation
A tire’s sidewall is marked with a tire size designation. You will need this in‐
formation when selecting replacement
tires for your vehicle. The following ex‐ plains what the letters and numbers in
the tire size designation mean.
