CAUTION
• Underinflation also results in
excessive wear, poor handling
and reduced fuel economy.
Wheel deformation also is
possible. Keep your tyre pres-
sures at the proper levels. If a
tyre frequently needs refilling,
we recommend that the sys-
tem be checked by an autho-
rised Kia dealer.
• Overinflation produces
harsh ride, excessive wear at
the centre of the tyre tread,
and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.
CAUTION
• Warm tyres normally exceed
recommended cold tyre pres-
sures by 28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6
psi). Do not release air from
warm tyres to adjust the pres-
sure or the tyres will be under-
inflated.
• Be sure to reinstall the tyre
inflation valve caps. Without
the valve cap, dirt or moisture
a could get into the valve core
and cause air leakage. If a
valve cap is missing, install a
new one as soon as possible.
WARNING
Tyre Inflation
-
Overinflation or underinflation
can reduce tyre life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tyre failure. This
could result in loss of vehicle
control and potential injury.
Maintenance
CAUTION -
Tyre pressure
Always observe the following:
• Check tyre pressure when the
tyres are cold. (After vehicle
has been parked for at least
three hours or hasn't been
driven more than 1.6 km (one
mile) since startup.)
• Check the pressure of your
spare tyre each time you
check the pressure of other
tyres.
• Never overload your vehicle.
Be careful not to overload a
vehicle luggage rack if your
vehicle is equipped with one.
• Worn, old tyres can cause
accidents. If your tread is
badly worn, or if your tyres
have been damaged, replace
them.
