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

rised Kia dealer/service partner.

If you have a tyre gauge, remove
the valve cap and check the air pres -
sure. If the pressure is lower than
recommended, drive slowly to the
nearest service station and inflate
to the correct pressure. If it is too
high, adjust it until it is correct.
Always reinstall the valve cap after
If you have a flat tyre (with spare tyre)
checking or adjusting tyre pressure.
If the cap is not replaced, air may
leak from the tyre. If you lose a
valve cap, buy another and install it
as soon as possible.
After you have changed wheels,
always secure the flat tyre in its
place and return the jack and tools
to their proper storage locations.
CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on
the wheel studs and nuts. Make cer -
tain during wheel removal that the
same nuts that were removed are
reinstalled - or, if replaced, that
nuts with metric threads and the
same chamfer configuration are
used. Installation of a non-metric
thread nut on a metric stud or vice-
versa will not secure the wheel to
the hub properly and will damage
the stud so that it must be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do not have
metric threads. Be sure to use
extreme care in checking for thread
style before installing aftermarket
lug nuts or wheels. If in doubt, con -
sult a professional workshop. Kia

rised Kia dealer/service partner.
