8. Insert the jack handle into the jack

and turn it clockwise, raising the

vehicle until the tire just clears the

ground. This measurement is

approximately 30 mm (1.2 in).

Before removing the wheel lug

nuts, make sure the vehicle is sta-

ble and that there is no chance for

movement or slippage.

9. Remove the wheel lug nuts by

turning them counterclockwise,

then remove the wheel.

10. Mount the spare tire into position

and install the wheel lug nuts

with the beveled edge inward.

11. Once the wheel lug nuts have

been tightened, lower the vehicle

fully to the ground and continue to

tighten the lug nuts until they are

fully secured. Tighten the wheel

lug nuts firmly in a “star” pattern.

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 9~11 kg•m (65-79 lb•ft,

88-107 N•m). Improperly tight-

ened wheel lug nuts could cause

brake pedal vibration while brak-

ing.

CAUTION

Your vehicle has metric threads

on the wheel studs and nuts.

Make certain during wheel

removal that the same nuts

removed are reinstalled - or, if

replaced, that nuts with metric

threads and the same chamfer

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 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.
