Towing with a vehicle other
than a tow truck If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend you to have it done by an
Authorized Kia dealer or a commer-
cial tow truck service.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow-
ing hook under the front or rear of the
vehicle. Use extreme caution when
towing the vehicle. A driver must be
in the vehicle to steer it and operate
the brakes.Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speeds.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.

Do not use the tow hooks to pull a
vehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
 Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than
the vehicle doing the towing.
 The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other fre-
quently.

✽ ✽
NOTICE• Attach a towing strap to the tow
hook.
• Using a portion of the vehicle other than the tow hooks for tow-
ing may damage the body of your
vehicle.
• Use only a cable or chain specifi- cally intended for use in towing
vehicles. Securely fasten the cable
or chain to the towing hook pro-
vided. Before emergency towing, check
that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.
 Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
 Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady
and even force.
 To avoid damaging the hook, do
not pull from the side or at a verti-
cal angle. Always pull straight
ahead. 
Use a towing strap less than 16
feet (5 m) long. Attach a white or
red cloth (about 12 inches (30 cm)
wide) in the middle of the strap for
easy visibility.
 Drive carefully so that the towing
strap is not loosened during tow-
ing.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when tow-
ing the vehicle.
 Avoid sudden starts or erraticdriving maneuvers which wouldplace excessive stress on theemergency towing hook andtowing cable or chain. The hookand towing cable or chain maybreak and cause serious injuryor damage.
 If the towing vehicle can hard- ly move, do not forcibly con-tinue the towing. Contact anAuthorized Kia dealer or acommercial tow truck servicefor assistance.
 Tow the vehicle as straight ahead as possible.
 Keep away from the vehicle during towing.

Tire replacement 1. Park on a level surface and applythe parking brake firmly.
2. Shift the shift lever into P (Park).
3. Activate the hazard warning flash- er.
WARNING
- Changing
tires
 Never attempt vehicle repairs in the traffic lanes of a public
road or highway.
 Always move the vehicle com- pletely off the road and onto
the shoulder before trying to
change a tire. The jack should
be used on level firm ground
whenever possible. If you can-
not find a firm, level place off
the road, call a towing service
company for assistance.
 Be sure to use the correct front and rear jacking posi-
tions on the vehicle; never use
the bumpers or any other part
of the vehicle for jack support.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 The vehicle can easily roll offthe jack causing serious
injury or death. No person
should place any portion of
their body under a vehicle that
is supported only by a jack ;
use vehicle support stands.
 Do not start or run the engine while the vehicle is on the
jack.
 Do not allow anyone to remain in the vehicle while it is on the
jack.
 Make sure any children pres- ent are in a secure place away
from the road and from the
vehicle to be raised with the
jack.

13. Once the wheel lug nuts have
been tightened, lower the vehicle
fully to the ground and continue to
tighten the lug nuts until they are
fully secured. Tighten the wheel
lug nuts firmly in a “star” pattern.
If you are unsure of the tightness
of the wheel lug nuts, have them
checked at the nearest service
station. The specified tightening
torque is 65-79 lb ft (9~11 kgm,
88-107 N m). Improperly tight-
ened wheel lug nuts could cause
brake pedal vibration while brak-
ing. 14. Reinstall the wheel cover by fit-
ting the boss of the wheel cover
in the groove of the wheel.
To prevent the jack, jack handle,
wheel lug nut, wrench and spare tire
from rattling while the vehicle is in
motion, store them properly.
2GHN409A
CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threadson the wheel studs and nuts.Make certain during wheelremoval that the same nutsremoved are reinstalled - or, ifreplaced, that nuts with metricthreads and the same chamferconfiguration are used.Installation of a non-metricthread nut on a metric stud orvice-versa will not secure thewheel to the hub properly andwill damage the stud so that itmust be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do nothave metric threads. Be sure touse extreme care in checkingfor thread style before installingaftermarket lug nuts or wheels.If in doubt, consult anAuthorized Kia Dealer.
WARNING
- Wheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they
may lose their ability to retain
the wheel. This could lead to the
loss of the wheel and a colli-
sion.
WARNING
Check the inflation pressures as
soon as possible after installing
the spare tire. Adjust it to the
specified pressure, if necessary.
Refer to Section 8, Specifications.

1. Warm the engine up for a few min-
utes and then turn it off. Remove
the oil filler cap.
2. Drain the oil into a suitable con- tainer by removing the oil drain
plug. 3. Remove the engine oil filter with
an oil filter wrench.
✽ ✽NOTICEDo not allow the oil filter gasket to
remain on the oil filter mounting
surface. This will cause oil leakage
and engine damage. Remove the old
gasket completely so that a new gas-
ket may be properly seated. 4. Use a clean rag to clean the oil fil-
ter mounting surface on the
engine.
5. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the new oil filter O-ring seal. 6. Install the oil filter and tighten it.
(Refer to the oil filter caution label
for tightening instructions.)
7. Install a new washer on the drain plug. Don’t use an old washer
repeatedly.
8. Replace the drain plug after the oil has thoroughly drained. Torque the
plug to 26~32 lbft (3.5~4.5 kgm,
35~44 Nm).
9. Refill the engine with new oil to the F mark on the dipstick. Do not
overfill.
10. Reinstall the oil filler cap secure- ly.
11. Start the engine and inspect around the oil filter seal for leaks.
Stop the engine.
12. Check the oil level and fill to the F mark as necessary.
PROPOSITION 65
WARNING
Used engine oil may cause irri-
tation or cancer of the skin if left
in contact with the skin for pro-
longed periods of time. Used
engine oil contains chemicals
that have caused cancer in lab-
oratory animals. Always protect
your skin by washing your
hands thoroughly with soap and
warm water as soon as possible
after handling used oil.
CAUTION
 Both the oil and engine arehot. Do not burn yourself.
 Keep all engine oil out of the reach of children.

Checking the parking brake Check whether the stroke is within
specification when the parking brake
pedal is depressed with 44 lb (20 kg,
196 N) of force. Also, the parking
brake alone should securely hold the
vehicle on a fairly steep grade. If the
stroke is more or less than specified,
have the parking brake adjusted by
an Authorized Kia Dealer.
Stroke : 3.5~3.8 in (88~98 mm)

PARKING BRAKE
CAUTION
Do not allow brake fluid to con-
tact the vehicle's body paint, aspaint damage will result. Brakefluid, which has been exposedto open air for an extended timeshould never be used as itsquality cannot be guaranteed. Itshould be thrown out. Don't putin the wrong kind of fluid. Forexample, just a few drops ofmineral-based oil, such asengine oil, in your brake clutchsystem can damage brakeclutch system parts.

For best battery service :Keep the battery securely mount-
ed.
 Keep the battery top clean and dry.
 Keep the terminals and connec-
tions clean, tight, and coated with
petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
 Rinse any spilled electrolyte from
the battery immediately with a
solution of water and baking soda.
 If the vehicle is not going to be
used for an extended time, discon-
nect the battery cables.
Battery recharging Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged
in a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior lights
were left on while the vehicle was
not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
 If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.

When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure on
the case may cause battery
acid to leak, resulting in per-
sonal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
 Never attempt to charge the
battery when the battery
cables are connected.
 The electrical ignition system
works with high voltage.
Never touch these compo-
nents with the engine running
or the ignition switched on.
