All season tires
Kia specifies all season tires on
some models to provide good per-
formance for use all year round,
including snowy and icy road condi-
tions. All season tires are identified
by ALL SEASON and/or M+S (Mud
and Snow) on the tire sidewall. Snow
tires have better snow traction than
all season tires and may be more
appropriate in some areas.
Summer tires
Kia specifies summer tires on some
models to provide superior perform-
ance on dry roads. Summer tire per-
formance is substantially reduced in
snow and ice. Summer tires do not
have the tire traction rating M+S
(Mud and Snow) on the tire side wall.
If you plan to operate your vehicle in
snowy or icy conditions, Kia recom-
mends the use of snow tires or all
season tires on all four wheels.
Snow tires
If you equip your car with snow tires,
they should be the same size and
have the same load capacity as the
original tires. Snow tires should be
installed on all four wheels; other-
wise, poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28
kPa) more air pressure than the
pressure recommended for the stan-
dard tires on the tire label on the dri-
ver's side of the center pillar, or up to
the maximum pressure shown on the
tire sidewall, whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120
km/h) when your vehicle is equipped
with snow tires.WARNING
Do not use summer tires at tem-
peratures below 45°F (7°C) or
when driving on snow or ice. At
temperatures below 45°F (7°C),
summer tires can lose elastici-
ty, and therefore traction and
braking power as well. Change
the tires on your vehicle to win-
ter or all-weather tires of the
same size as the standard tires
of the vehicle. Both types of
tires are identified by the M+S
(Mud and Snow) marking. Using
summer tires at very cold tem-
peratures could cause cracks to
form, thereby damaging the
tires permanently.

NOTICE - Window tinting pre-
caution
Window tint(especially metallic
film) might cause communication
disorder or poor radio reception,
and malfunction of the automatic
lighting system due to excessive
change of illumination inside the
vehicle. The solution used might also
flow into electric, electronic devices
causing disorder and failure.
CAUTION
Visually inspect the battery cap
to ensure it is securely closed.If the battery cap is not securelyclosed, moisture may enter thesystem and damage the electri-cal components.
CAUTION - Remodeling
Prohibited
Do not try remodeling the vehi-cle in any way. It is illegal, andmay affect the vehicle's perform-ance, durability, and safety. Themanufacturer's warranty doesnot cover any problems causedby remodeling. Remodeling thevehicle can cause malfunction ofthe vehicle, wiring damage, bat-tery discharge, connector dam-age, or fire.
CAUTION
Do not disassemble nor assem-ble the multi fuse when it issecured with nuts and bolts.Incorrect or partial assemblytorque may cause a fire. Havethe vehicle checked by anauthorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION - Random
wiring prohibited when
retrofitting equipment
Use of random wiring in the vehicle might cause danger dueto failure and damage of thevehicle’s performance.
Using random wires especiallywhen retrofitting AVN or theftalarm system, remote enginecontrol, car phone or radiomight damage the vehicle orcause fire.

When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size may damage the related parts or cause them to operate improp\
erly.

NOTICE
• We recommend replacing tires with the same make and model originally supplied with the vehicle; no\
t doing so
may affect driving performance.
• When driving in high altitude grades such as mountainous areas, injection of additional air into tires may be required due to lower atmospheric pressure. Therefore, add 1.5 psi for every 1,000m above sea level at the recom-
mended tire pressure when frequently driving in high mountainous areas.
