2017 KIA OPTIMA PLUG-IN HYBRID wheel alignment

WARNING
•The Smart Parking Assist Systemshould only be considered as asupplementary function. The driv‐er must check the front and rearview for objects. The operationalfunction of the Smart Parking As‐sist System can be affected bymany factors and conditions of thesurroundings, so the responsibilityrests always with the driver.
•The system may not operate nor‐mally if the vehicle needs wheelalignment adjustment. Have thevehicle checked by an authorizedKia dealer.
•If you use a different tire or wheelsize rather than the size recom‐mended by the Kia dealer, the sys‐tem may not work properly. Al‐ways use the same size tire andwheel.
•If you use additional frame on thelicense plate, SPAS may generateabnormal warning sound.

Features of your vehicle

ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many kilometers (miles) you can get from a liter (gallon) of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as possi‐
ble, use the following driving sugges‐ tions to help save money in both fuel
and repairs: • Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a mod‐ erate rate. Do not make "jack-rabbit"
starts or full-throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruising speed. Do
not race between stop lights. Try to
adjust your speed to the traffic so
you do not have to change speeds
unnecessarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible.
Always maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles so you can avoid un‐
necessary braking. This also reduces
brake wear.
• Drive at a moderate speed. The fast‐ er you drive, the more fuel your vehi‐cle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway, is
one of the most effective ways to re‐
duce fuel consumption. • Do not "ride" the brake or clutch ped‐
al. This can increase fuel consumption
and also increase wear on these com‐
ponents. In addition, driving with your
foot resting on the brake pedal may
cause the brakes to overheat, which
reduces their effectiveness and may lead to more serious consequences.
• Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres‐
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unneces‐
sary tire wear. Check the tire pres‐ sures at least once a month.
• Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment can re‐
sult from hitting curbs or driving too
fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire wear
and may also result in other prob‐
lems as well as greater fuel con‐
sumption.
• Keep your vehicle in good condition. For better fuel economy and reducedmaintenance costs, maintain your ve‐
hicle in accordance with the mainte‐
nance schedule in Chapter 9, Mainte‐
nance. If you drive your vehicle in se‐
vere conditions, more frequent main‐ tenance is required (see Chapter 9,
Maintenance for details). • Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi‐
mum service, your vehicle should be
kept clean and free of corrosive ma‐ terials. It is especially important that
mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to
accumulate on the underside of the
vehicle. This extra weight can result
in increased fuel consumption and al‐ so contribute to corrosion.
• Travel lightly. Do not carry unneces‐ sary weight in your vehicle. Weight
reduces fuel economy.
• Do not let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting (and notin traffic), turn off your engine and
restart only when you're ready to go.
• Remember, your vehicle does not re‐ quire extended warm-up. After the
engine has started, allow the engine
to run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to placing the vehicle in gear. In very cold
weather, however, give your engine a
slightly longer warmup period.
• Do not "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too
high a gear resulting engine bucking.
If this happens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine be‐
yond its safe limit. This can be avoi‐
ded by shifting at the recommended
speeds.

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.

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

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.
