Removing And Storing The Spare Tyre; Changing Tyres - Kia Sorento 2022 Manual

What to do in an emergency
WARNING
Be cautious as the minimum ground
clearance gets lower when you
store the original tyre in the bottom
of the vehicle after replacing it with
a spare tyre.
In particular, drive below 30 km/h
(18 mph) when driving over a speed
bump and on uphill/downhill/uneven
road.
WARNING

Changing tyres

Never attempt vehicle repairs in
the traffic lanes of a public road
or highway.
Always move the vehicle com-
pletely off the road and onto the
shoulder before trying to change
a tyre. The jack should be used on
firm level ground. If you cannot
find a firm level place off the road,
call a towing service company for
assistance.
Be sure to use the correct front
and rear jacking positions on the
vehicle; never use the bumpers or
any other part of the vehicle for
jacking support.
The vehicle can roll off the jack
causing serious injury or death.
Do not get under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
Do not start or run the engine
whilst the vehicle is on the jack.
If you have a flat tyre (with spare tyre)
Do not allow anyone remain in the
vehicle whilst it is on the jack.
Make sure any children present
are in a secure place away from
the road and from the vehicle to
be raised with the jack.
