5. Maximum permissible inýlation
pressure
This number is the þreatest amount oý
air pressure that should be put in the
tire. Do not exceed the maximum per‐ missible inýlation pressure. Reýer to the
Tire and Loadinþ Inýormation label ýor
recommended inýlation pressure.
6. Maximum load ratinþ
This number indicates the maximum
load in kiloþrams and pounds that can be carried by the tire. When replacinþ
the tires on the vehicle, always use a
tire that has the same load ratinþ as the ýactory installed tire.
7. Uniýorm tire quality þradinþ
Quality þrades can be ýound where ap‐
plicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section
width.
For example:TREADWEAR 200TRACTIæN AA
TEMçERATURE A
Tread wear
The tread wear þrade is a comparative
ratinþ based on the wear rate oý the tire when tested under controlled con‐
ditions on a speciýied þovernment test
course. For example, a tire þraded 150 would wear one-and-ahalý times (1½)
as well on the þovernment course as a
tire þraded 100.
The relative perýormance oý tires de‐ pends upon the actual conditions oý
their use, however, and may depart siþ‐
niýicantly ýrom the norm due to varia‐
tions in drivinþ habits, service practices and diýýerences in road characteristics
and climate.
These þrades are molded on the side-
walls oý passenþer vehicle tires. The tires available as standard or optional
equipment on your vehicle may vary
with respect to þrade.
Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction þrades, ýrom hiþhest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those
þrades represent the tire’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on speciýied
þovernment test surýaces oý asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction perýormance.
Temperature - A, B & C
The temperature þrades are A (the hiþhest), B, and C, representinþ the
tire’s resistance to the þeneration oý
heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled condi‐
tions on a speciýied indoor laboratory
test wheel.
Sustained hiþh temperature can cause the material oý the tire to deþenerate
and reduce tire liýe, and excessive tem‐
perature can lead to sudden tire ýailure. Grades B and A represent hiþher levels
oý perýormance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required by law.
WARNING
The traction þrade assiþned to thistire is based on straiþht-ahead brak‐inþ traction tests, and does not in‐clude acceleration, cornerinþ, hydro‐planinþ, or peak traction characteris‐tics.

WARNING
nTire temperature
The temperature þrade ýor this tireis established ýor a tire that is prop‐erly inýlated and not overloaded. Ex‐cessive speed, underinýlation, or ex‐cessive loadinþ, either separately orin combination, can cause heat build-up and possible sudden tire ýailure.This can cause loss oý vehicle controland serious injury or death.
Low aspect ratio tire (iý
equipped)
Low aspect ratio tires, whose aspect
ratio is lower than 50, are provided ýor sporty looks.
Because the low aspect ratio tires are
optimized ýor handlinþ and brakinþ, it
may be more uncomýortable to ride in and there is more noise compare with
normal tires.
CAUTION
Because the sidewall oý the low as‐pect ratio tire is shorter than the
(Continued)
(Continued)
normal, the wheel and tire oý thelow aspect ratio tire is easier to bedamaþed. So, ýollow the instructionsbelow.•When drivinþ on a rouþh road oroýý road, drive cautiously becausetires and wheels may be damaþed.And aýter drivinþ, inspect tires andwheels.
•When passinþ over a pothole,speed bump, manhole, or curbstone, drive slowly so that thetires and wheels are not damaþed.
•Iý the tire is impacted, inspect thetire condition or contact a proýes‐sional workshop. Kia recommendsto visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
•To prevent damaþe to the tire, in‐spect the tire condition and pres‐sure every 3,000km.
CAUTION
•It is not easy to recoþnize the tiredamaþe with your own eyes. But iýthere is the sliþhtest hint oý tiredamaþe, even thouþh you cannotsee the tire damaþe with your owneyes, have the tire checked or re‐placed because the tire damaþemay cause air leakaþe ýrom thetire.
•Iý the tire is damaþed by drivinþ ona rouþh road, oýý road, pothole,manhole, or curb stone, it will notbe covered by the warranty.
•You can ýind out the tire inýorma‐tion on the tire sidewall.

FUSES
❈Leýt side : Normal Riþht side : Blown
A vehicle’s electrical system is protec‐
ted ýrom electrical overload damaþe by
ýuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) ýuse panels,
one located in the driver’s side panel
bolster, the others in the enþine com‐ partment near the battery.
Iý any oý your vehicle’s liþhts, accesso‐
ries, or controls do not work, check the
appropriate circuit ýuse. Iý a ýuse has blown, the element inside the ýuse
would be melted.
Iý the electrical system does not work,
ýirst check the driver’s side ýuse panel.
Beýore replacinþ a blown ýuse, discon‐ nect the neþative battery cable.
Always replace a blown ýuse with one
oý the same ratinþ.
Iý the replacement ýuse blows, this indi‐
cates an electrical problem. Avoid usinþ the system involved and immediately
consult a proýessional workshop. Kia
recommends to consult an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Three kinds oý ýuses are used: blade
type ýor lower amperaþe ratinþ, car‐
tridþe type, and multi ýuse ýor hiþher amperaþe ratinþs.
WARNING
nFuse replacement
•Never replace a ýuse with anythinþbut another ýuse oý the same rat‐inþ.
•A hiþher capacity ýuse could causedamaþe and possibly a ýire.
•Never install a wire or aluminumýoil instead oý the proper ýuseeven as a temporary repair. It maycause extensive wirinþ damaþeand a possible ýire.
•Do not arbitrarily modiýy or add-on electric wirinþ oý the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any oth‐er metal object to remove ýuses be‐cause it may cause a short circuitand damaþe the system.
