What to do in an emergency

Wheels may have sharp edges.

Handle them carefully to avoid possi-

ble injury. Before putting the wheel

into place, be sure that there is noth-

ing on the hub or wheel (such as

mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that prevents

with the wheel from fitting solidly

against the hub.

10. To install the wheel, hold it on the

studs, put the wheel nuts on the

studs and tighten them finger

tight. Jiggle the tire to be sure it is

completely seated, then tighten

the nuts as much as possible

with your fingers again.

11. Lower the vehicle to the ground

by turning the wheel nut wrench

counterclockwise.

Then position the wrench as shown

in the drawing and tighten the wheel

nuts. Be sure the socket is seated

completely over the nut. Do not stand

on the wrench handle or use an

extension pipe over the wrench han-

dle. Go around the wheel tightening

every nut following the numerical

sequence shown in the image until

they are all tight. Then double-check

each nut for tightness. After changing

wheels, have an authorized Kia deal-

er tighten the wheel nuts to their

proper torque as soon as possible.

Wheel nut tightening torque:

9~11 kg·m (65~79 lb·ft)

WARNING - Installing a

wheel

Make sure the wheel makes

good contact with the hub when

installed. If the contact of the

mounting surface between the

wheel and hub is not good, the

wheel nuts could come loose

and cause the loss of a wheel.

Loss of a wheel may result in

loss of control of the vehicle.
