WARNING
•Underinflated or overinflated tirescan cause poor handling, loss ofvehicle control, and sudden tirefailure leading to accidents, inju‐ries, and even death. Always checkthe tires for proper inflation be‐fore driving. For proper tire pres‐sures, refer to L

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILE DRIVING
If the engine stalls at a
crossroad or crossing
• Iý thü ünþinü stalls at a crossroad orcrossinþ, süt thü shiýt lüvür in thü N

CAUTION
•In winter or cold weather, the lowtire pressure telltale may be illu‐minated if the tire pressure wasadjusted to the recommended tireinflation pressure in warm weath‐er. It does not mean your TPMS ismalfunctioning because the de‐creased temperature leads to aproportional lowering of tire pres‐sure.
•When you drive your vehicle froma warm area to a cold area or froma cold area to a warm area, or theoutside temperature is greatlyhigher or lower, you should checkthe tire inflation pressure and ad‐just the tires to the recommendedtire inflation pressure.
•When filling tires with more air,conditions to turn off the low tirepressure telltale may not be met.This is because a tire inflator has amargin of error in performance.The low tire pressure telltale willbe turned off if the tire pressure isabove the recommended tire infla‐tion pressure.
WARNING
nLow pressure damage
Significantly low tire pressure makesthe vehicle unstable and can contrib‐ute to loss of vehicle control and in‐creased braking distances.Continued driving on low pressuretires can cause the tires to overheatand fail.

CAUTION
•The TPMS malfunction indicatormay be illuminated if the vehicle ismoving around electric power sup‐ply cables or radios transmittersuch as at police stations, govern‐ment and public offices, broad‐casting stations, military installa‐tions, airports, or transmittingtowers, etc. This can interferewith normal operation of the TirePressure Monitoring System(TPMS).
•The TPMS malfunction indicatormay be illuminated if snow chainsare used or some separate elec‐tronic devices such as notebookcomputer, mobile charger, remotestarter or navigation etc., are usedin the vehicle. This can interferewith normal operation of the TirePressure Monitoring System(TPMS).

CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads onthe wheel studs and nuts. Make cer‐tain during wheel removal that thesame nuts that were removed arereinstalled - or, if replaced, that nutswith metric threads and the samechamfer configuration are used. In‐stallation of a non-metric thread nuton a metric stud or vice-versa willnot secure the wheel to the hubproperly and will damage the stud sothat it must be replaced.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Note that most lug nuts do not havemetric threads. Be sure to use ex‐treme care in checking for threadstyle before installing aftermarketlug nuts or wheels. If in doubt, con‐sult a professional workshop. Kiarecommends to consult an author‐ized Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
nWheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they maylose their ability to retain the wheel.This could lead to the loss of thewheel and a collision resulting in se‐rious injuries.

CAUTION
nOne sealant for one tire
(Continued)
(Continued)
When two or more tires are flat, donot use the tire mobility kit becausethe one supplied canister of sealantin the Tire Mobility Kit is to onlyenough sealant for one flat tire.
WARNING
nTire wall
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit torepair punctures in the tire walls.This can result in an accident due totire failure.
WARNING
nTemporary fix
Have your tire repaired as soon aspossible. The tire may lose air pres‐sure at any time after inflating withthe Tire Mobility Kit.

(Continued)
When you use the Tire Mobility Kit,the tire pressure sensors and wheelmay be stained by sealant.Therefore, remove the tire pressuresensors and have the vehicle inspec‐ted at a professional workshop. Kiarecommends to visit an authorizedKia dealer/service partner.
Checking the tire inflation
pressure
1. Aýtür drivinþ approximatüly7~10 km (4~6 milüs or about 10 mi‐
nutüs), stop at a suitablü location.
2. Connüct connüction hosü (10) oý thü comprüssor dirüctly to thü tirü

TIRES AND WHEELS

Tire care
For propür maintünancü, saýüty, and
maximum ýuül üconomy, you must al‐
ways maintain rücommündüd tirü inýla‐ tion prüssurüs and stay within thü load
limits and wüiþht distribution rücom‐
mündüd ýor your vühiclü.
Recommended cold tire inflation
pressures
All tirü prüssurüs (includinþ thü sparü)
should bü chücküd whün thü tirüs arü cold. L

CAUTION
•Warm tires normally exceed rec‐ommended cold tire pressures by28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do notrelease air from warm tires to ad‐just the pressure or the tires willbe underinflated.
•Be sure to reinstall the tire infla‐tion valve caps. Without the valvecap, dirt or moisture could get intothe valve core and cause air leak‐age. If a valve cap is missing, in‐stall a new one as soon as possi‐ble.
WARNING
nTire Inflation
Overinflation or underinflation canreduce tire life, adversely affect ve‐hicle handling, and lead to suddentire failure. This could result in lossof vehicle control and potential in‐jury.
CAUTION
nTire pressure
Always observe the following:•Check tire pressure when the tiresare cold. (After vehicle has beenparked for at least three hours orhasn't been driven more than1.6 km (one mile) since startup.)
•Check the pressure of your sparetire each time you check the pres‐sure of other tires.
•Never overload your vehicle. Becareful not to overload a vehicleluggage rack if your vehicle isequipped with one.
•Worn, old tires can cause acci‐dents. If your tread is badly worn,or if your tires have been dam‐aged, replace them.
Checking tire inflation pressure
Chück your tirüs oncü a month or morü.
Also, chück thü tirü prüssurü oý thü
sparü tirü.
How to check

WARNING
•Inspect your tires frequently forproper inflation as well as wearand damage. Always use a tirepressure gauge.
•Tires with too much or too littlepressure wear unevenly causingpoor handling, loss of vehicle con‐trol, and sudden tire failure leadingto accidents, injuries, and evendeath. The recommended cold tirepressure for your vehicle can befound in this manual and on thetire label located on the driver'sside center pillar.
•Worn tires can cause accidents.Replace tires that are worn, showuneven wear, or are damaged.
•Remember to check the pressureof your spare tire. Kia recom‐mends that you check the spareevery time you check the pressureof the other tires on your vehicle.
Tire rotation
To üqualizü trüad wüar, it is rücommün‐
düd that thü tirüs bü rotatüd üvüry 12,000 km (7,500 milüs) or soonür iý ir‐
rüþular wüar düvülops. Durinþ rotation, chück thü tirüs ýor cor‐
