What to do in an emergency
lay it flat so it cannot roll away.
To put the wheel on the hub, pick
up the spare tyre, line up the
holes with the studs and slide the
wheel onto them.
If this is difficult, tip the wheel
slightly and get the top hole in the
wheel lined up with the top stud.
Then jiggle the wheel back and
forth until the wheel can be slid
over the other studs.
WARNING
Wheels may have sharp edges. Han-
dle them carefully to avoid possible
severe injury. Before putting the
wheel into place, be sure that there
is nothing on the hub or wheel (such
as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that inter-
feres with the wheel from fitting
solidly against the hub.
If there is, remove it. If there is not
good contact on the mounting sur-
face between the wheel and hub,
the wheel nuts could come loose
and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss
of a wheel may result in loss of con-
trol of the vehicle. This may cause
serious injury or death.
10.To reinstall the wheel, hold it on
the studs, put the wheel nuts on
the studs and tighten them finger
tight. Jiggle the tyre to be sure it
is completely seated, then tighten
the nuts as much as possible with
your fingers again.
If you have a flat tyre (with spare tyre)
11.Lower the vehicle to the ground
by turning the wheel nut wrench
counterclockwise.

Then position the wrench as
shown in the drawing and tighten
the wheel nuts. Be sure the
socket is seated completely over
the nut. Do not stand on the
wrench handle or use an exten-
sion pipe over the wrench handle.
Go around the wheel tightening
every other nut until they are all
tight. Then double-check each nut
for tightness. After changing
wheels, have the system checked
by a professional workshop. Kia
