Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
WARNING
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent acci‐dents due to improper or dangerousdriving maneuvers. Even though ve‐hicle control is improved duringemergency braking, always maintaina safe distance between you and ob‐jects ahead. Vehicle speeds shouldalways be reduced during extremeroad conditions.The braking distance for vehicleequipped with an anti-lock brakingsystem (or Electronic Stability Con‐trol) may be longer than for thosewithout it in the following road con‐ditions.During these conditions the vehicleshould be driven at reduced speeds:•Rough, gravel or snow-coveredroads.
•With tire chains installed.
•On roads where the road surface ispitted or has different surfaceheight.

CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads onthe wheel studs and nuts. Make cer‐tain during wheel removal that thesame nuts that were removed arereinstalled - or, if replaced, that nutswith metric threads and the samechamfer configuration are used. In‐stallation of a non-metric thread nuton a metric stud or vice-versa willnot secure the wheel to the hubproperly and will damage the stud sothat it must be replaced.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Note that most lug nuts do not havemetric threads. Be sure to use ex‐treme care in checking for threadstyle before installing aftermarketlug nuts or wheels. If in doubt, con‐sult a professional workshop. Kiarecommends to consult an author‐ized Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
nWheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they maylose their ability to retain the wheel.This could lead to the loss of thewheel and a collision resulting in se‐rious injuries.
