Checking Tire Inflation Pressure - Kia XCeed 2020 Owner's Manual

Maintenance
• Check tire pressure when the tires
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
tire each time you check the
pressure of other tires.
• Never overload your vehicle. Be
careful not to overload a vehicle
luggage rack if your vehicle is
equipped with one.
• Worn, old tires can cause
accidents. If your tread is badly
worn, or if your tires have been
damaged, replace them.

Checking tire inflation pressure

Check your tires once a month or
more.
Also, check the tire pressure of the
spare tire.
How to check
Use a good quality gauge to check
tire pressure. You can not tell if your
tires are properly inflated simply by
looking at them. Radial tires may
look properly inflated even when
they're underinflated.
• Check the tire's inflation pressure
when the tires are cold. - "Cold"
means your vehicle has been
sitting for at least three hours
or driven no more than 1.6 km (1
mile).
• Remove the valve cap from the
tire valve stem. Press the tire
gauge firmly onto the valve to
get a pressure measurement. If
the cold tire inflation pressure
matches the recommended
pressure on the tire and loading
information label, no further
adjustment is necessary. If the
pressure is low, add air until you
reach the recommended amount.
If you overfill the tire, release air
by pushing on the metal stem in
the center of the tire valve.
Recheck the tire pressure with
the tire gauge. Be sure to put
the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by
keeping out dirt and moisture.
WARNING
• Inspect your tires frequently for
proper inflation as well as wear
and damage. Always use a tire
pressure gauge.
• Tires with too much or too little
pressure wear unevenly causing
poor handling, loss of vehicle
control, and sudden tire failure
leading to accidents, injuries, and
even death. The recommended
cold tire pressure for your vehicle
can be found in this manual and
on the tire label located on the
driver's side center pillar.
