from "rattling" while the vehicle is in

motion, store them properly.

Changing tires

1. Park on a level surface and apply

the parking brake firmly.

2. Shift the shift lever into R (Re‐

verse) with manual transaxle or P

(Park) with automatic transaxle /

dual clutch transmission.

3. Activate the hazard warning flash‐

er.

4. Remove the wheel lug nut wrench,

jack, jack handle, and spare tire

from the vehicle.

5. Block both the front and rear of

(Continued)

•

To prevent vehicle movement

while changing a tire, always set

the parking brake fully, and al‐

ways block the wheel diagonally

opposite

the

wheel

being

changed.

•

We recommend that the wheels

of the vehicle be chocked, and

that no person remain in a vehi‐

cle that is being jacked.

6. Loosen the wheel lug nuts counter‐

clockwise one turn each, but do not

remove any nut until the tire has

been raised off the ground.

7. Place the jack at the front (1) or

rear (2) jacking position closest to

the tire you are changing. Place the

jack at the designated locations un‐

der the frame. The jacking posi‐

tions are plates welded to the

frame with two tabs and a raised

dot to index with the jack.

WARNING

n Jack location

To reduce the possibility of injury, be

sure to use only the jack provided

with the vehicle and in the correct

jack position; never use any other

part of the vehicle for jack support.

8. Insert the jack handle into the jack

and turn it clockwise, raising the

vehicle until the tire just clears the

ground. This measurement is ap‐

proximately 30 mm (1.2 in). Before

7-15

What to do in an emer

gency

removing the wheel lug nuts, make

sure the vehicle is stable and that

there is no chance for movement or

slippage.

9. Loosen the wheel nuts and remove

them with your fingers. Slide the

wheel off the studs and lay it flat

so it cannot roll away. To put the

wheel on the hub, pick up the spare

tire, 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‐
(Continued)

(Continued)

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 control 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 tire to be sure it is

completely seated, then tighten

the nuts as much as possible with

your fingers again.

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 com‐

pletely over the nut. Do not stand on

the wrench handle or use an extension

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 recommends to visit an authorized

Kia dealer/service partner.

What to do in an emergency

7-16

If you have a tire gauge, remove the

valve cap and check the air pressure. If

the pressure is lower than recommen‐

ded, drive slowly to the nearest service

station and inflate to the correct pres‐

sure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is

correct. Always reinstall the valve cap

after checking or adjusting tire pres‐

sure. If the cap is not replaced, air may

leak from the tire. If you lose a valve

cap, buy another and install it as soon

as possible.

After you have changed wheels, always

secure the flat tire in its place and re‐

turn 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. In‐

stallation 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.
(Continued)

(Continued)

Note that most lug nuts do not have

metric threads. Be sure to use ex‐

treme care in checking for thread

style before installing aftermarket

lug nuts or wheels. If in doubt, con‐

sult a professional workshop. Kia

recommends to consult an author‐

ized Kia dealer/service partner.

WARNING

n Wheel studs

If the studs are damaged, they may

lose their ability to retain the wheel.

This could lead to the loss of the

wheel and a collision resulting in se‐

rious injuries.

To prevent the jack, jack handle, wheel

lug nut wrench and spare tire from rat‐

tling while the vehicle is in motion,

store them properly.

WARNING

n Inadequate spare tire pressure

Check the inflation pressures as

soon as possible after installing the

spare tire. Adjust it to the specified

pressure, if necessary. Refer to

Tires and wheels on page 9-08.

Important - use of compact spare

tire (if equipped)

Your vehicle is equipped with a compact

spare tire. This compact spare tire

takes up less space than a regular- size

tire. This tire is smaller than a conven‐

tional tire and is designed for tempora‐

ry use only.

CAUTION

• You should drive carefully when

the compact spare is in use. The

compact spare should be replaced

by the proper conventional tire

and rim at the first opportunity.

(Continued)

7-17

What to do in an emer

gency

(Continued)

• The operation of this vehicle is not

recommended with more than one

compact spare tire in use at the

same time.

WARNING

The compact spare tire is for emer‐

gency use only. Do not operate your

vehicle on this compact spare at the

speed over 80 km/h (50 mph). The

original tire should be repaired or re‐

placed as soon as possible to avoid

failure of the spare possibly leading

to personal injury or death.

The compact spare should be inflated

to 420 kPa (60 psi).

NOTICE

Check the inflation pressure after in‐

stalling the spare tire. Adjust it to

the specified pressure, as necessary.

When using a compact spare tire, ob‐

serve the following precautions:

• Under no circumstances should you

exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a higher

speed could damage the tire.

• Ensure that you drive slowly enough

to avoid all hazards. Any road hazard,

such as a pothole or debris, could se‐

riously damage the compact spare.

• Any continuous road use of this tire

could result in tire failure, loss of ve‐

hicle control, and possible personal in‐

jury.

• Do not exceed the vehicle s maximum

load rating or the load-carrying ca‐

pacity shown on the sidewall of the

compact spare tire.

• Avoid driving over obstacles. The

compact spare tire diameter is small‐

er than the diameter of a convention‐

al tire and reduces the ground clear‐

ance approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch),

which could result in damage to the

vehicle.

• Do not take the vehicle through an

automatic car wash while the com‐

pact spare tire is installed.

• Do not use tire chains on the tempo‐

rary compact tire. Because of the

smaller size, a tire chain will not fit

properly. This could damage the vehi‐

cle and result in loss of the chain.

• Temporary compact tire should not

be installed on the front axle if the

vehicle must be driven in snow or on

ice.

• Do not use the temporary compact

tire on any other vehicle because this

tire has been designed especially for

your vehicle.

• The temporary compact tire tread

life is shorter than a regular tire. In‐

spect your temporary compact tire

regularly and replace worn compact

spare tires with the same size and

design, mounted on the same wheel.

• The temporary compact tire should

not be used on any other wheels, nor

should standard tires, snow tires,

wheel covers or trim rings be used

with the temporary compact spare

wheel. If such use is attempted, dam‐

age to these items or other car com‐

ponents may occur.

• Do not use more than one temporary

compact tire at a time.

• Do not tow a trailer while the tempo‐

rary compact tire is installed.

TOWING

Towing service

If emergency towing is necessary, we

recommend having it done by an au‐

thorized Kia dealer or a commercial

tow-truck service. Proper lifting and

towing procedures are necessary to

prevent damage to the vehicle. The use

of wheel dollies or flatbed is recom‐

mended.

It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with

the rear wheels on the ground (without

dollies) and the front wheels off the

ground.

If any of the loaded wheels or suspen‐

sion components are damaged or the

vehicle is being towed with the front

wheels on the ground, use a towing

dolly under the front wheels.

When being towed by a commercial

tow truck and wheel dollies are not

used, the front of the vehicle should al‐

ways be lifted, not the rear.

CAUTION

• Do not tow the vehicle backwards

with the front wheels on the

ground as this may cause damage

to the vehicle.

• Do not tow with sling-type equip‐

ment. Use wheel lift or flatbed

equipment.

When towing your vehicle in an emer‐

gency without wheel dollies :

1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC

position.

2. Place the transaxle shift lever in N

(Neutral).

3. Release the parking brake.

CAUTION

Failure to place the transaxle shift

lever in N (Neutral) may cause inter‐

nal damage to the transaxle.

7-21

What to do in an emer

gency

Removable towing hook (if

equipped)

1. Open the trunk lid, and remove the

towing hook from the tool case.

2. Remove the hole cover pressing the

lower part of the cover on the

bumper.

3. Install the towing hook by turning it

clockwise into the hole until it is

fully secured.

4. Remove the towing hook and install

the cover after use.

Emergency towing

If towing is necessary, we recommend

you to have it done by an authorized

Kia dealer or a commercial tow truck

service.

If towing service is not available in an

emergency, your vehicle may be tem‐

porarily towed using a cable or chain

secured to the emergency towing hook

under the front (or rear) of the vehicle.

Use extreme caution when towing the

vehicle. A driver must be in the vehicle

to steer it and operate the brakes.

Towing in this manner may be done on‐

ly on hard-surfaced roads for a short

distance and at low speed. Also, the

wheels, axles, power train, steering and

brakes must all be in good condition.

What to do in an emergency

7-22

• Do not use the tow hooks to pull a

vehicle out of mud, sand or other

conditions from which the vehicle

cannot be driven out under its own

power.

• Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than

the vehicle doing the towing.

• The drivers of both vehicles should

communicate with each other fre‐

quently.

CAUTION

• Attach a towing strap to the tow

hook.

• Using a portion of the vehicle oth‐

er than the tow hooks for towing

may damage the body of your ve‐

hicle.

• Use only a cable or chain specifi‐

cally intended for use in towing

vehicles. Securely fasten the cable

or chain to the towing hook provi‐

ded.

• Before emergency towing, check if

the hook is not broken or damaged.

• Fasten the towing cable or chain se‐

curely to the hook.

• Do not jerk the hook. Apply it steadily

and with even force.

• To avoid damaging the hook, do not

pull from the side or at a vertical an‐

gle. Always pull straight ahead.

WARNING

Use extreme caution when towing

the vehicle.

• Avoid sudden starts or erratic driv‐

ing maneuvers which would place

excessive stress on the emergency

towing hook and towing cable or

chain. The hook and towing cable

or chain may break and cause seri‐

ous injury or damage.

• If the disabled vehicle is unable to

be moved, do not forcibly continue

the towing. We recommend that

you contact an authorized Kia

dealer or a commercial tow truck

service for assistance.

• Tow the vehicle as straight ahead

as possible.

• Keep away from the vehicle during

towing.

• Use a towing strap less than 5 m

(16 feet) long. Attach a white or red

cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches) wide)

in the middle of the strap for easy

visibility.

7-23

What to do in an emer

gency

• Drive carefully so that the towing

strap is not loosened during towing.

Emergency towing precautions

• Turn the ignition switch to ACC so the

steering wheel isn t locked.

• Place the transaxle shift lever in N

(Neutral).

• Release the parking bake.
• Press the brake pedal with more

force than normal since you will have

reduced brake performance.

• More steering effort will be required

because the power steering system

will be disabled.

• If you are driving down a long hill, the

brakes may overheat and brake per‐

formance will be reduced. Stop often

and let the brakes cool off.

CAUTION

n Automatic transaxle / Dual

clutch transmission

(Continued)

• If the car is being towed with all

four wheels on the ground, it can

be towed only from the front. Be

sure that the transaxle is in neu‐

tral. Be sure the steering is un‐

locked by placing the ignition

switch in the ACC position. A driver

must be in the towed vehicle to

operate the steering and brakes.

• To avoid serious damage to the

automatic transaxle / dual clutch

transmission, limit the vehicle

speed to 15 km/h (10 mph) and

drive less than 1.5 km (1 mile)

when towing.

• Before towing, check the auto‐

matic transaxle / dual clutch

transmission for fluid leaks under

your vehicle. If the automatic

transaxle / dual clutch transmis‐

sion fluid is leaking, flatbed equip‐

ment or a towing dolly must be

used.

What to do in an emergency

7-24

EMERGENCY COMMODITY (IF EQUIPPED)

There are some emergency commodi‐

ties in the vehicle to help you respond

to the emergency situation.

Fire extinguisher

If there is small fire and you know how

to use the fire extinguisher, take the

following steps carefully.

1. Pull the pin at the top of the extin‐

guisher that keeps the handle from

being accidentally pressed.

2. Aim the nozzle toward the base of

the fire.

3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft)

away from the fire and squeeze

the handle to discharge the extin‐

guisher. If you release the handle,

the discharge will stop.

4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at

the base of the fire. After the fire

appears to be out, watch it careful‐

ly since it may re-ignite.

First aid kit

There are some items such as scissors,

bandage and adhesive tape and etc. in

the kit to give first aid to an injured

person.

Triangle reflector

Place the triangle reflector on the road

to warn oncoming vehicles during

emergencies, such as when the vehicle

is parked by the roadside due to any

problems.

Tire pressure gauge (If

equipped)

Tires normally lose some air in day-to-

day use, and you may have to add a

few pounds of air periodically and it is

not usually a sign of a leaking tire, but

of normal wear. Always check tire pres‐

sure when the tires are cold because

tire pressure increases with tempera‐

ture.

To check the tire pressure, take the fol‐

lowing steps;

1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap

that is located on the rim of the

tire.

2. Press and hold the gauge against

the tire valve. Some air will escape

as you begin and more will escape

if you don't press the gauge in

firmly.

3. A firm non-leaking push will acti‐

vate the gauge.

4. Read the tire pressure on the

gauge to know whether the tire

pressure is low or high.

5. Adjust the tire pressures to the

specified pressure. Refer to Tires

and wheels on page 9-08.

6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.
