sudden tyre failure. This can cause
loss of vehicle control and serious
injury or death.
Low aspect ratio tyre (if equipped)
Low aspect ratio tyres, whose
aspect ratio is lower than 50, are
provided for sporty looks.
Because the low aspect ratio tyres
are optimized for handling and
braking, it may be more uncomfort -
able to ride in and there is more
noise compare with normal tyres.
CAUTION
Because the sidewall of the low
aspect ratio tyre is shorter than the
normal, the wheel and tyre of the
low aspect ratio tyre is easier to be
damaged. So, follow the instructions
below.
When driving on a rough road or
off road, drive cautiously because
tyres and wheels may be dam -
aged. And after driving, inspect
tyres and wheels.
When passing over a pothole,
speed bump, manhole, or kerb
stone, drive slowly so that the
tyres and wheels are not dam -
aged.
If the tyre is impacted, inspect the
tyre condition or contact a pro -
fessional workshop. Kia recom -
mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
To prevent damage to the tyre,
inspect the tyre condition and
pressure every 3,000 km (1,900
miles).
CAUTION
It is not easy to recognize the tyre
damage with your own eyes. But
if there is the slightest hint of
tyre damage, even though you
cannot see the tyre damage with
your own eyes, have the tyre
checked or replaced because the
tyre damage may cause air leak -
age from the tyre.
If the tyre is damaged by driving
on a rough road, off road, pothole,
manhole, or kerb stone, it will not
be covered by the warranty.
You can find out the tyre infor -
mation on the tyre sidewall.
