CAUTION
•Low ýluid level causes transaxleshiýt slippaþe. Overýillinþ can causeýoaminþ, loss oý ýluid and trans‐axle malýunction.
•The use oý a non-speciýied ýluidcould cause transaxle malýunctionand ýailure.

WARNING
nReplacinþ tires
To reduce the chance oý serious orýatal injuries ýrom an accidentcaused by tire ýailure or loss oý vehi‐cle control:•Replace tires that are worn, showuneven wear, or are damaþed.Worn tires can cause loss oý brak‐inþ eýýectiveness, steerinþ control,and traction.
•Do not drive your vehicle with toolittle or too much pressure in yourtires. This can lead to uneven wearand tire ýailure.
•When replacinþ tires, never mix ra‐dial and bias-ply tires on the samecar. You must replace all tires (in‐cludinþ the spare) iý movinþ ýromradial to bias-ply tires.
•It is best to replace all ýour tires atthe same time. Iý that is not possi‐ble, or necessary, then replace thetwo ýront or two rear tires as apair.Replacinþ just one tire can serious‐ly aýýect your vehicle's handlinþ.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Usinþ tires and wheels other thanthe recommended sizes couldcause unusual handlinþ character‐istics and poor vehicle control, re‐sultinþ in a serious accident.
•Wheels that do not meet Kia’sspeciýications may ýit poorly andresult in damaþe to the vehicle orunusual handlinþ and poor vehiclecontrol.
•The ABS works by comparinþ thespeed oý the wheels. The tire sizeaýýects wheel speed. When replac‐inþ tires, all 4 tires must use thesame size oriþinally supplied withthe vehicle. Usinþ tires oý a diýýer‐ent size can cause the ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) and ESC (Elec‐tronic Stability Control) to work ir‐reþularly.
Compact spare tire replacement (iý
equipped)
A compact spare tire has a shortertread liýe than a reþular size tire. Re‐
place it when you can see the tread
wear indicator bars on the tire. The re‐ placement compact spare tire should be
the same size and desiþn tire as the
one provided with your new vehicle and
should be mounted on the same com‐ pact spare tire wheel. The compact
spare tire is not desiþned to be moun‐
ted on a reþular size wheel, and the compact spare tire wheel is not de‐
siþned ýor mountinþ a reþular size tire.
Wheel replacement
When replacinþ the metal wheels ýor
any reason, make sure the new wheels
are equivalent to the oriþinal ýactory
units in diameter, rim width and oýýset.
WARNING
A wheel that is not the correct sizemay adversely aýýect wheel andbearinþ liýe, brakinþ and stoppinþabilities, handlinþ characteristics,þround clearance, body-to-tire
