Maintenance
All specifications (sizes and pres -
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the vehicle.
WARNING
Tyre underinflation
Severe underinflation (70 kPa (10
psi, 0.7 bar) or more) can lead to
severe heat build-up, causing blow -
outs, tread separation and other
tyre 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 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 pressures at the proper
levels. If a tyre frequently needs
refilling, have the system checked
by a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
Overinflation produces a 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 rec -
ommended cold tyre pressures by
28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi, 0.28 to
0.41 bar).
Do not release air from warm
tyres to adjust the pressure or
the tyres will be underinflated.
Be sure to reinstall the tyre infla -
tion valve caps. Without the valve
cap, dirt or moisture could get
into the valve core and cause air
leakage. If a valve cap is missing,
install a new one as soon as pos -
sible.
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.
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.)
