Maintenance

TIRES AND WHEELS

Tire care

For 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.

Recommended cold tire infla-

tion pressures

All tire pressures (including the

spare) should be checked every day

when the tires are cold. “Cold Tires”

means the vehicle has not been driv-

en for at least three hours or driven

less than 1.6 km (one mile).

Recommended pressures must be

maintained for the best ride, top vehi-

cle handling, and minimum tire wear.

All specifications (sizes and pres-

sures) can be found on a label

attached to the vehicle.

✽

NOTICE

• Underinflation also results in

excessive wear, poor handling and

reduced fuel economy. Wheel

deformation also is possible. Keep

your tire pressures at the proper

levels. If a tire frequently needs

refilling, have it checked by an

authorized Kia dealer.

• Overinflation produces a harsh

ride, excessive wear at the center

of the tire tread, and a greater pos-

sibility of damage from road haz-

ards.

WARNING - Tire underin-

flation

Severe underinflation (10 psi (70

kPa) or more) can lead to severe

heat build-up, causing blowouts,

tread separation and other tire

failures that can result in the

loss of vehicle control leading to

severe injury or death. This risk

is much higher on hot days and

when driving for protracted peri-

ods at high speeds.
