DRIVING TIPS
5-10TIRE CHAINSTire Chain SelectionRegulations regarding the use of tire
chains vary according to location or type
of road, so always check them before
installing chains.
Use only SAE Class “S” tire chains.
Chains must be the proper size for the
vehicle, as recommended by the chain
manufacturer.CHAIN INSTALLATIONWhen installing chains on your tires,
carefully follow the instructions of the
chain manufacturer.
The chain bands will scratch the wheel
covers. Remove the covers before
installing the chains.Install the chains on the front tires as
tightly as possible. The use of chains on
the rear tires is not recommended.
Retighten the chains after driving 0.5-1.0
km (1/4-1/2 mile).
Driving in Flooded AreasAvoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no higher
than the bottom of the wheel rims. Drive
through any water slowly. Allow
adequate stopping distance because
brake performance may be affected.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
WARNING - Tire Chains
 The use of chains may
adversely affect vehicle
handling.
 Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/
h) or the chain manufacturer’s
recommended speed limit,
whichever is lower.
 Drive carefully and avoid
bumps, holes, sharp turns
and other road hazards,
which may cause the vehicle
to bounce.
 Avoid sharp turns or locked
wheel braking.
 Do not attempt to use a tire
chain on the temporary spare
tire because it may impair
vehicle handling and result in
damage to the vehicle and the
tire.

TOWINGIf emergency towing is necessary, we
recommend having it done by an
Authorized Kia Dealer or a competent
tow-truck service. Proper lifting and
towing procedures are necessary to
prevent damage to the vehicle. State and
local laws applicable to towing vehicles
must be followed.

6-21  Do not take this vehicle through an
automatic car wash with the compact
spare tire installed.
 Do not use tire chains on this tire.
Because of the smaller size, a tire
chain will not fit properly. This could
damage the vehicle and result in loss
of the chain.
 This tire should not be installed on
the front axle if the vehicle must be
driven in snow or on ice.
 Do not use the compact spare tire on
any other vehicle because this tire
has been designed especially for your
vehicle.
 The compact spare’s tread life is
shorter than a regular tire.
Inspect your compact spare tire
regularly and replace worn compact
spare tires with the same size and
design, mounted on the same wheel.

WARNING - Changing
Tires
Never attempt vehicle repairs
or a tire change in the traffic
lanes of a public road or
highway. Always move the
vehicle completely off the
road and onto the shoulder
before trying to change a tire.
If you cannot find a firm, level
place off the road, call a
towing service company for
assistance.
Be sure to use the correct
front or rear jacking
positions on the vehicle;
never use the bumpers or
any other part of the vehicle
for jack support.
Never allow any portion of
your body to get beneath the
vehicle while using the jack.
Do not start or run the engine
while the vehicle is
supported by the jack.

10. Remove the lug nuts by turning them
counterclockwise, then remove the
wheel.
11. Mount the spare tire into position and
tighten the nuts by hand. Install the
lug nuts with the beveled edge
inward.
12. Turn the jack handle counterclockwise
and lower the vehicle until it touches
the ground.
Tighten the lug nuts firmly in an “X”
pattern.Once the lug nuts have been tightened,
lower the vehicle fully to the ground and
continue to tighten the lug nuts until they
are completely secured.
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 76 ft. lb (103 N·m).

CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on
the wheel studs and nuts. During
wheel removal, make certain that
the same nuts removed are
reinstalled - or, if replaced, that
nuts with metric threads and the
same configuration are used.
Installation of a non-metric thread
nut on a metric stud or vice-versa
will not secure the wheel to the hub
properly and will damage the stud
so that it must be replaced. Note
that most U.S. lug nuts do not have
metric threads. Be sure to use
extreme care in checking for thread
style before installing aftermarket
lug nuts or wheels. If in doubt,
consult an Authorized Kia Dealer.
Damaged studs may result in wheel
loss and personal injury.

6-25 To prevent the jack, jack handle, wheel
lug nut, wrench and spare tire from
rattling while the vehicle is in motion,
store them properly.
✻
NOTICE
Check the inflation pressures as
soon as possible after installing the
spare tire. Adjust it to the specified
pressure, if necessary.
Standard Tire : 210 kPa(30 psi)
Compact Spare Tire : 420 kPa(60
psi)
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
collision.

TIRES AND WHEELSTIRE CAREFor proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tire
inflation pressures and stay within the
load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.INFLATION PRESSURESCheck all tire pressures (including the
spare) monthly when the tires are cold.
“Cold tires” means the car has not been
driven for at least three hours or driven
less than one mile (1.6 km).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained to ensure ride quality, vehicle
handling, and minimum tire wear.
Watch the battery during
charging, and stop or reduce
the charging rate if the battery
cells begin gasing (boiling)
violently or if the temperature
of the electrolyte of any cell
exceeds 120°F (49°C).
Wear eye protection when
checking the battery during
charging.
Disconnect the battery
charger in the following
order.
1. Turn off the battery
charger main switch.
2. Unhook the negative
clamp from the negative
battery terminal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp
from the positive battery
terminal.
✻
NOTICE
• Before performing battery
maintenance or recharging, turn
OFF all accessories and stop the
engine.
• When remounted battery,
disconnect the negative (-)
battery cable first. When re-
installing the battery, reconnect
the negative (-) battery cable
last.

This can be found on the driver side
door.
The correct tire pressure is 210 kPa (30
psi). The compact spare should be at
420kPa (60 psi).
MAINTENANCE
7-26
MMSA7019
✻
NOTICE
• Warm tires normally exceed
recommended cold tire
pressures by 28 to 41 kPa(4 to 6
psi). Do not release air from
warm tires to adjust the
pressure. The tires will become
underinflated when cold.
• Underinflation results in
excessive wear, poor handling,
reduced fuel economy, and the
possibility of blowouts from
overheated tires. Also, low tire
pressure can cause poor sealing
of the tire bead. If the tire
pressure is excessively low,
wheel deformation and/or tire
separation are possible.
Keep tire pressures at the
proper levels. If a tire frequently
needs refilling, have it checked
by an Authorized Kia Dealer or
a tire shop.
• Overinflation produces a harsh
ride, handling problems,
excessive wear at the center of
the tire tread, and a greater
possibility of damage from road
hazards.
WARNING -
Tire Inflation
Overinflation or underinflation
can reduce tire life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tire failure. This
could result in loss of vehicle
control.

MAINTENANCE
7-28COMPACT SPARE TIRE
REPLACEMENTA compact spare tire has a shorter tread
life than a regular size tire. Replace it
when you can see the tread wear indicator
bars on the tire. The replacement compact
spare tire should be the same size and
design tire as the one provided with your
new Kia and should be mounted on the
same compact spare tire wheel. The
compact spare tire is not designed to be
mounted on a regular size wheel, and the
compact spare tire wheel is not designed
for mounting a regular size tire.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND
TIRE BALANCEIn addition to proper tire inflation,
correct wheel alignment helps to
minmize tire wear. Your vehicle’s
alignment should be checked every 12
months or 24,000 km (15,000 miles).
Your tires were properly balanced at the
factory, but they may need to be
rebalanced before they wear out. If you
notice a consistent vibration when
driving, have your Kia Dealer inspect
your tires. A tire should always be
rebalanced if it has been removed from
the wheel.
