Tyre care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tyre
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribu-
tion recommended for your vehicle.
Recommended cold tyre inflation
pressures
All tyre pressures (including the
spare) should be checked when the
tyres are cold. "Cold Tyres" means
the vehicle has not been driven for
at least three hours or driven less
than 1.6 km (one mile).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, top
vehicle handling, and minimum tyre
wear.
For recommended inflation pres-
sure, refer to "Tyres and wheels" on
page 9-7.

All specifications (sizes and pres-
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the vehicle.
WARNING
Tyre underinflation
Severe underinflation (70 kPa (10
psi) or more) can lead to severe heat
build-up, causing blowouts, tread
separation and other tyre failures
that can result in the loss of vehicle
control leading to severe injury or
death. This risk is much higher on
hot days and when driving for long
periods at high speeds.
CAUTION
Underinflation also results in
excessive wear, poor handling and
reduced fuel economy. Wheel
deformation also is possible. Keep
your tyre pressures at the proper
levels. If a tyre frequently needs
refilling, have the system checked
by a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
Overinflation produces a harsh
ride, excessive wear at the centre
of the tyre tread, and a greater
possibility of damage from road
hazards.
