TYRES AND WHEELS
Tyre care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tyre
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.
Recommended cold tyre infla-
tion pressures
All tyre pressures (including the
spare) should be checked when the
tyres are cold. "Cold Tyres" means
the vehicle has not been driven 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 tyre
wear.
For recommended inflation pressure,
refer to "Tyre and wheels" in chapter
8.
All specifications (sizes and pres-
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the vehicle.
WARNING
- Tyre under-
inflation
Severe underinflation (70 kPa
(10 psi, 0.7 bar) or more) can
lead to severe heat build-up,
causing blowouts, tread separa-
tion and other tyre failures that
can result in the loss of vehicle
control leading to severe injury
or death. This risk is much high-
er on hot days and when driving
for long periods at high speeds.
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,
have the system checked by a
professional workshop. Kia

• Overinflation
harsh ride, excessive wear at
the centre of the tyre tread,
and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.
