Wheel Alignment And Tyre Balance; Tyre Replacement - Kia Carnival Manual

Maintenance

Wheel alignment and tyre balance

The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tyre
life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tyre
wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may
need to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road,
your wheels may need to be rebal -
anced.
CAUTION
Improper wheel weights can dam -
age your vehicle's aluminium
wheels. Use only approved wheel
weights.

Tyre replacement

If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread
wear Indicator will appear as a solid
band across the tread.
OMQ4070103L
[A] : Tread wear indicator
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
replacing the tyre.
NOTICE
We recommend that when replac -
ing tyres, use the same originally
supplied with the vehicles.
If not, that affects driving perfor -
mance.
