EXTERIOR FEATURES
Roof rack (if equipped)
If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load cargo on top of your vehicle. Crossbars and fixing components
needed to install the roof rack on
your vehicle may be obtained from
an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner or other qualified shop.
✽✽ NOTICE
 The crossbars (if equipped) should be placed in the proper load carry-
ing positions prior to placing items
onto the roof rack.
 If the vehicle is equipped with a sunroof, be sure not to position
cargo onto the roof rack in such a
way that it
could interfere with sun-
roof operation.
 When the roof rack is not being used to carry cargo, the crossbars
may need to be repositioned if wind
noise is detected.
ORP042187
CAUTION
When carrying cargo on the
roof rack, take the necessaryprecautions to make sure the cargo does not damage theroof of the vehicle.
When carrying large objects on the roof rack, make surethey do not exceed the overall roof length or width.
When you are carrying cargo on the roof rack, do not operatethe sunroof (if equipped).

Non-operating condition
Outside rearview mirror may not
alert the driver when:
- The outside rearview mirror housing
is damaged or covered with debris.
- The window is covered with debris.
- The windows are severely tinted. Driver's Attention
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations, because the sys-
tem may not detect other vehicles
or objects in certain circumstances.
- The vehicle drives on a curved
road or through a tollgate.
- The sensor is polluted with rain, snow, mud, etc.
- The rear bumper, in which the sensor is located, is covered or
blocked with a foreign matter
such as a sticker, a bumper
guard, a bicycle stand, etc.
- The rear bumper is damaged, or the sensor is out of the originaldefault position.
- The vehicle height gets lower or higher due to heavy loading in a
trunk, abnormal tyre pressure,etc.
- The vehicle drives in a bad weather such as heavy rain or
snow.
(Continued)CAUTION
The system may not work prop-erly if the bumper has beenreplaced or if a repair work hasbeen done near the sensor.
The detection area differs according to the roads width.If the road is narrow the sys- tem may detect other vehiclesin the second next lane.
On the contrary, if the road is very wide the system may notdetect other vehicles in the next lane.
The system might be turned off due to strong electromag-netic waves.

Maintenance
Compact spare tyre replacement (if equipped)
A compact spare tyre has a shorter
tread life than a regular size tyre.
Replace it when you can see the
tread wear indicator bars on the tyre.The replacement compact spare tyre
should be the same size and design
tyre as the one provided with your
new vehicle and should be mountedon the same compact spare tyre
wheel. The compact spare tyre is notdesigned to be mounted on a regular
size wheel, and the compact spare
tyre wheel is not designed for mount-
ing a regular size tyre. Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for
any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim widthand offset.
Tyre traction
Tyre traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tyres, tyres that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces. Tyres should be
replaced when tread wear indicators
appear. To reduce the possibility of
losing control, slow down whenever
there is rain, snow or ice on the road.
Tyre maintenance In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease
tyre wear. If you find a tyre is worn
unevenly, have a professional work-
shop check the wheel alignment. Kia
recommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
When you have new tyres installed,
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort and
tyre life. Additionally, a tyre should
always be rebalanced if it is removedfrom the wheel.
WARNING
A wheel that is not the correct
size may adversely affect wheel
and bearing life, braking and
stopping abilities, handling
characteristics, ground clear-
ance, body-to-tyre clearance,
snow chain clearance,speedometer and odometer cal-
ibration, headlight aim and
bumper height.

Tyre sidewall labeling
This information identifies and
describes the fundamental charac-
teristics of the tyre and also provides
the tyre identification number (TIN)
for safety standard certification. TheTIN can be used to identify the tyre incase of a recall.
1. Manufacturer or brand name
Manufacturer or Brand name is
shown.
2. Tyre size designation
A tyre’s sidewall is marked with a tyre
size designation. You will need this
information when selecting replace-
ment tyres for your car. The following
explains what the letters and num-
bers in the tyre size designationmean.
Example tyre size designation:
(These numbers are provided as an
example only; your tyre size designa-
tor could vary depending on your
vehicle.) 195/65R15 91H
P - Applicable vehicle type (tyres
marked with the prefix “P’’ are
intended for use on passenger
vehicles or light trucks; however,
not all tyres have this marking).
195 - Tyre width in millimeters.
65 - Aspect ratio. The tyre’s chapter height as a percentage of its width.
R - Tyre construction code (Radial).
15 - Rim diameter in inches. 91 - Load Index, a numerical code
associated with the maximum
load the tyre can carry.
H - Speed Rating Symbol. See the speed rating chart in this chapter
for additional information.
Wheel size designation
Wheels are also marked with impor-
tant information that you need if you
ever have to replace one. The follow-
ing explains what the letters and
numbers in the wheel size designa-tion mean.
Example wheel size designation: 6.0JX15
6.0 - Rim width in inches. J - Rim contour designation.
15 - Rim diameter in inches.

4. Tyre ply composition and mate-
rial
The number of layers or plies of rub-
ber-coated fabric are in the tyre. Tyre
manufacturers also must indicate the
materials in the tyre, which include
steel, nylon, polyester, and others.
The letter "R" means radial ply con-
struction; the letter "D" means diago-
nal or bias ply construction; and theletter "B" means belted-bias ply con-
struction.
5. Maximum permissible inflationpressure
This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should be put in
the tyre. Do not exceed the maximum
permissible inflation pressure. Refer
to the Tyre and Loading Information
label for recommended inflation
pressure.
6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds that
can be carried by the tyre. When
replacing the tyres on the vehicle,
always use a tyre that has the same
load rating as the factory installed
tyre.
7. Uniform tyre quality grading
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tyre sidewall
between tread shoulder and maxi-
mum chapter width.
For example:
TREADWEAR 200
TRACTION AA
TEMPERATURE A Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a compara-
tive rating based on the wear rate ofthe tyre when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government
test course. For example, a tyre grad-
ed 150 would wear one-and-a-half
times (1½) as well on the government
course as a tyre graded 100.
The relative performance of tyres depends upon the actual conditions
of their use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm because
of variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
These grades are molded on the
side-walls of passenger vehicle tyres.
The tyres available as standard or
optional equipment on your vehicles
may vary with respect to grade.
