Tyre replacement

Tread wear indicator
If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread
wear indicator will appear as a solid
band across the tread. This shows
there is less than 1.6 mm (1/16 in.) of
tread left on the tyre. Replace the
tyre when this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tyre.

CAUTION
When replacing
recheck and tighten the wheel
nuts after driving about 1,000 km
(620miles). If the steering wheel
shakes or the vehicle vibrates
whilst driving, the tyre is out of
balance. Align the tyre balance. If
the problem is not solved, we
recommend that you contact an
authorised Kia dealer.

WARNING
the tyres,
• Driving on worn-out tyres is
very hazardous and will reduce
braking effectiveness, steering
accuracy, and traction.
• Your vehicle is equipped with
tyres designed to provide for
safe ride and handling capa-
bility. Do not use a size and
type of tyre and wheel that is
different from the one that is
originally installed on your
vehicle. It can affect the safety
and performance of your vehi-
cle, which could lead to han-
dling failure or rollover and
serious injury. When replacing
the tyres, be sure to equip all
four tyres with the tyre and
wheel of the same size, type,
tread, brand and load-carrying
capacity.
