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.

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

WARNING
nTire age
Tires degrade over time, even whenthey are not being used. Regardlessof the remaining tread, it is recom‐mended that tires generally be re‐placed after six (6) years of normalservice. Heat caused by hot climatesor frequent high loading conditionscan accelerate the aging process.Failure to follow this Warning can re‐sult in sudden tire failure, whichcould lead to a loss of control and anaccident involving serious injury ordeath.
