TIRES AND WHEELS

Tire care

For proper maintenance, safety, and

maximum fuel economy, you must al‐

ways maintain recommended tire infla‐

tion pressures and stay within the load

limits and weight distribution recom‐

mended for your vehicle.

Recommended cold tire inflation

pressures

All tire pressures (including the spare)

should be checked when the tires are

cold. Cold Tires means the vehicle has

not been driven for at least three hours

or driven less than 1.6 km .

Recommended pressures must be

maintained for the best ride, top vehi‐

cle handling, and minimum tire wear.

For recommended inflation pressure re‐

fer to Tire and wheels on page 8-07.

All specifications (sizes and pressures)

can be found on a label attached to the

vehicle.

WARNING

n Tire underinflation

Severe underinflation can lead to se‐

vere heat build-up, causing blow‐

outs, tread separation and other tire

failures that can result in the loss of

vehicle control leading to severe in‐

jury or death. This risk is much high‐

er on hot days and when driving for

long periods at high speeds.

CAUTION

• Underinflation also results in ex‐

cessive wear, poor handling and

reduced fuel economy. Wheel de‐

formation also is possible. Keep

your tire pressures at the proper

levels.

If a tire frequently needs refilling,

have the system checked by a pro‐

fessional workshop. Kia recom‐

mends to visit an authorized Kia

dealer/service partner.

• Overinflation produces a harsh

ride, excessive wear at the center

of the tire tread, and a greater

possibility of damage from road

hazards.

CAUTION

• Warm tires normally exceed rec‐

ommended cold tire pressures by

28 to 41 kPa. Do not release air

from warm tires to adjust the

pressure or the tires will be under‐

inflated.

Maintenance

(Continued)

• Be sure to reinstall the tire infla‐

tion valve caps. Without the valve

cap, dirt or moisture could get into

the valve core and cause air leak‐

age. If a valve cap is missing, in‐

stall a new one as soon as possi‐

ble.

WARNING

n Tire inflation

Overinflation or underinflation can

reduce tire life, adversely affect ve‐

hicle handling, and lead to sudden

tire failure. This could result in loss

of vehicle control and potential in‐

jury.

CAUTION

n Tire pressure

Always observe the following:
(Continued)

(Continued)

• Check tire pressure when the tires

are cold. (After vehicle has been

parked for at least three hours or

hasn't been driven more than

1.6 km since startup.)

• Check the pressure of your spare

tire each time you check the pres‐

sure of other tires.

• Never overload your vehicle. Be

careful not to overload a vehicle

luggage rack if your vehicle is

equipped with one.

• Worn, old tires can cause acci‐

dents. If your tread is badly worn,

or if your tires have been dam‐

aged, replace them.

Checking tire inflation pressure

Check your tires once a month or more.

Also, check the tire pressure of the

spare tire.

How to check

Use a good quality gauge to check tire

pressure. You can not tell if your tires

are properly inflated simply by looking

at them. Radial tires may look properly

inflated even when they're underinfla‐

ted.

Check the tire's inflation pressure when

the tires are cold. - "Cold" means your

vehicle has been sitting for at least

three hours or driven no more than

1.6 km (1 mile).

Remove the valve cap from the tire

valve stem. Press the tire gauge firmly

onto the valve to get a pressure meas‐

urement. If the cold tire inflation pres‐

sure matches the recommended pres‐

sure on the tire and loading information

label, no further adjustment is necessa‐

ry. If the pressure is low, add air until

you reach the recommended amount.

If you overfill the tire, release air by

pushing on the metal stem in the cen‐

ter of the tire valve. Recheck the tire

pressure with the tire gauge. Be sure to

put the valve caps back on the valve

stems. They help prevent leaks by

keeping out dirt and moisture.

WARNING

• Inspect your tires frequently for

proper inflation as well as wear

and damage. Always use a tire

pressure gauge.

(Continued)

Maintenance

7-50

(Continued)

• Tires with too much or too little

pressure wear unevenly causing

poor handling, loss of vehicle con‐

trol, and sudden tire failure leading

to accidents, injuries, and even

death. The recommended cold tire

pressure for your vehicle can be

found in this manual and on the

tire label located on the driver's

side center pillar.

• Worn tires can cause accidents.

Replace tires that are worn, show

uneven wear, or are damaged.

• Remember to check the pressure

of your spare tire. Kia recom‐

mends that you check the spare

every time you check the pressure

of the other tires on your vehicle.

Tire rotation

To equalize tread wear, it is recommen‐

ded that the tires be rotated every

12,000 km (7,500 miles) or sooner if ir‐

regular wear develops.

During rotation, check the tires for cor‐

rect balance.

When rotating tires, check for uneven

wear and damage. Abnormal wear is

usually caused by incorrect tire pres‐

sure, improper wheel alignment, out-

of-balance wheels, severe braking or

severe cornering. Look for bumps or

bulges in the tread or side of tire. Re‐

place the tire if you find either of these

conditions. Replace the tire if fabric or

cord is visible. After rotation, be sure to

bring the front and rear tire pressures

to specification and check lug nut tight‐

ness.

Refer to Tire and wheels on page

8-07.

7-51

7

Maintenance

Disc brake pads should be inspected for

wear whenever tires are rotated.

NOTICE

Rotate radial tires that have an

asymmetric tread pattern only from

front to rear and not from right to

left.

WARNING

• Do not use the compact spare tire

for tire rotation.

• Do not mix bias ply and radial ply

tires under any circumstances.

This may cause unusual handling

characteristics that could result in

death, severe injury, or property

damage.

Wheel alignment and tire

balance

The wheels on your vehicle were

aligned and balanced carefully at the

factory to give you the longest tire life

and best overall performance.

In most cases, you will not need to have

your wheels aligned again. However, if

you notice unusual tire 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 rebalanced.

CAUTION

Improper wheel weights can damage

your vehicle's aluminum wheels. Use

only approved wheel weights.

Tire replacement

If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear

indicator will appear as a solid band

across the tread. This shows there is

less than 1.6 mm of tread left on the

tire. Replace the tire when this hap‐

pens.

Do not wait for the band to appear

across the entire tread before replacing

the tire.

Maintenance

7-52

NOTICE

We recommend that when replacing

tires, use the same originally sup‐

plied with the vehicles.

If not, that affects driving perform‐

ance.

CAUTION

When replacing the tires, recheck

and tighten the wheel nuts after

driving about 1,000 km If the steer‐

ing wheel shakes or the vehicle vi‐

brates while driving, the tire is out of

balance. Align the tire balance. If the

problem is not solved, contact a pro‐

fessional workshop. Kia recommends

to visit an authorized Kia dealer/

service partner.

WARNING

n Replacing tires

To reduce the chance of serious or

fatal injuries from an accident
(Continued)

(Continued)

caused by tire failure or loss of vehi‐

cle control:

• Replace tires that are worn, show

uneven wear, or are damaged.

Worn tires can cause loss of brak‐

ing effectiveness, steering control,

and traction.

• Do not drive your vehicle with too

little or too much pressure in your

tires. This can lead to uneven wear

and tire failure.

• When replacing tires, never mix ra‐

dial and bias-ply tires on the same

car. You must replace all tires (in‐

cluding the spare) if moving from

radial to bias-ply tires.

• Using tires and wheels other than

the recommended sizes could

cause unusual handling character‐

istics and poor vehicle control, re‐

sulting in a serious accident.

• Wheels that do not meet Kia’s

specifications may fit poorly and

result in damage to the vehicle or

unusual handling and poor vehicle

control.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• The ABS works by comparing the

speed of the wheels. The tire size

affects wheel speed. When replac‐

ing tires, all 4 tires must use the

same size originally supplied with

the vehicle. Using tires of a differ‐

ent size can cause the ABS (Anti-

lock Brake System) and ESC (Elec‐

tronic Stability Control) to work ir‐

regularly.

Wheel replacement

When replacing the metal wheels for

any reason, make sure the new wheels

are equivalent to the original factory

units in diameter, rim width and offset.

WARNING

A wheel that is not the correct size

may adversely affect wheel and

bearing life, braking and stopping

abilities, handling characteristics,

ground

clearance,

body-to-tire

clearance, snow chain clearance,

speedometer and odometer calibra‐

tion, headlight aim and bumper

height.

Maintenance

Tire traction

Tire traction can be reduced if you drive

on worn tires, tires that are improperly

inflated or on slippery road surfaces.

Tires should be replaced when tread

wear indicators appear. Slow down

whenever there is rain, snow or ice on

the road to reduce the possibility of

losing control of the vehicle.

Tire maintenance

In addition to proper inflation, correct

wheel alignment helps to decrease tire

wear. If you find a tire is worn uneven‐

ly, have a professional workshop check

the wheel alignment. Kia recommends

to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service

partner.

When you have new tires installed,

make sure they are balanced. This will

increase vehicle ride comfort and tire

life. Additionally, a tire should always

be rebalanced if it is removed from the

wheel.

Tire sidewall labeling

This information identifies and de‐

scribes the fundamental characteristics

of the tire and also provides the tire

identification number (TIN) for safety

standard certification. The TIN can be

used to identify the tire in case of a re‐

call.

1. Manufacturer or brand name

Manufacturer or Brand name is shown.

2. Tire size designation

A tire’s sidewall is marked with a tire

size designation. You will need this in‐

formation when selecting replacement

tires for your car. The following ex‐

plains what the letters and numbers in

the tire size designation mean.

Example tire size designation:

(These numbers are provided as an ex‐

ample only; your tire size designator

could vary depending on your vehicle.)

mph)

3. Checking tire life (TIN: Tire

Identification Number)

Any tires that are over 6 years old,

based on the manufacturing date, (in‐

cluding the spare tire) should be re‐

placed by new ones. You can find the

manufacturing date on the tire sidewall

(possibly on the inside of the wheel),

displaying the DOT Code. The DOT Code

is a series of numbers on a tire consist‐

ing of numbers and English letters. The

manufacturing date is designated by

the last four digits (characters) of the

DOT code.

DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOO

The front part of the DOT means a

plant code number, tire size and tread

pattern and the last four numbers indi‐

cate week and year manufactured.

For example:

DOT XXXX XXXX 1617 represents that

the tire was produced in the 16th week

of 2017.

WARNING

n Tire age

(Continued)

(Continued)

Tires degrade over time, even when

they are not being used.

Regardless of the remaining tread, it

is recommended that tires generally

be replaced after six (6) years of

normal service. Heat caused by hot

climates or frequent high loading

conditions can accelerate the aging

process. Failure to follow this warn‐

ing can result in sudden tire failure,

which could lead to a loss of control

and an accident involving serious in‐

jury or death.

4. Tire ply composition and material

The number of layers or plies of rub‐

ber-coated fabric are in the tire. Tire

manufacturers also must indicate the

materials in the tire, which include

steel, nylon, polyester, and others. The

letter "R" means radial ply construction;

the letter "D" means diagonal or bias

ply construction; and the letter "B"

means belted-bias ply construction.

5. Maximum permissible inflation

pressure

This number is the greatest amount of

air pressure that should be put in the

tire. Do not exceed the maximum per‐

missible inflation pressure. Refer to the

Tire and Loading Information label on

page 8-16 for recommended inflation

pressure.

6. Maximum load rating

This number indicates the maximum

load in kilograms and pounds that can

be carried by the tire. When replacing

the tires on the vehicle, always use a

tire that has the same load rating as

the factory installed tire.

7. Uniform tire quality grading

Quality grades can be found where ap‐

plicable on the tire sidewall between

tread shoulder and maximum chapter

width.

For example:

TREADWEAR 200

TRACTION AA

TEMPERATURE A

Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a comparative

rating based on the wear rate of the

tire when tested under controlled con‐

ditions on a specified government test

course. For example, a tire graded 150

would wear one-and-a-half times (1½)

as well on the government course as a

tire graded 100.

The relative performance of tires de‐

pends upon the actual conditions of

their use, however, and may depart sig‐

nificantly from the norm because of

variations in driving habits, service

practices and differences in road char‐

acteristics and climate.

These grades are molded on the side-

walls of passenger vehicle tires. The

tires available as standard or optional

equipment on your vehicles may vary

with respect to grade.

Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest to

lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those

grades represent the tires ability to

stop on wet pavement as measured

under controlled conditions on specified

government test surfaces of asphalt

and concrete. A tire marked C may have

poor traction performance.

WARNING

The traction grade assigned to this

tire is based on straight-ahead brak‐

ing traction tests, and does not in‐

clude acceleration, cornering, hydro‐

planing, or peak traction characteris‐

tics.

Temperature - A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the

highest), B and C representing the tire’s

resistance to the generation of heat

and its ability to dissipate heat when

tested under controlled conditions on a

specified indoor laboratory test wheel.

Sustained high temperature can cause

the material of the tire to degenerate

and reduce tire life, and excessive tem‐

perature can lead to sudden tire failure.

Grades B and A represent higher levels

of performance on the laboratory test

wheel than the minimum required by

the law.

WARNING

n Tire temperature

(Continued)

Maintenance

7-56

(Continued)

The temperature grade for this tire

is established for a tire that is prop‐

erly inflated and not overloaded. Ex‐

cessive speed, underinflation, or ex‐

cessive loading, either separately or

in combination, can cause heat build-

up and possible sudden tire failure.

This can cause loss of vehicle control

and serious injury or death.

Low aspect ratio tire (if

equipped)

Low aspect ratio tires, whose aspect

ratio is lower than 50, are provided for

sporty looks.

Because the low aspect ratio tires are

optimized for handling and braking, it

may be more uncomfortable to ride in

and there is more noise compare with

normal tires.

CAUTION

Because the sidewall of the low as‐

pect ratio tire is shorter than the

normal, the wheel and tire of the

low aspect ratio tire is easier to be

damaged. So, follow the instructions

below.

- When driving on a rough road or

off road, drive cautiously because

tires and wheels may be damaged.

And after driving, inspect tires and

wheels.

- When passing over a pothole,

speed bump, manhole or curb

stone, drive slowly so that the

tires and wheels are not damaged.

- If the tire is impacted, inspect the

tire condition or contact a profes‐

sional workshop. Kia recommends

to visit an authorized Kia dealer/

service partner.

- To prevent damage to the tire, in‐

spect the tire condition and pres‐

sure every 3,000 km.

CAUTION

• It is not easy to recognize the tire

damage with your own eyes. But if

there is the slightest hint of tire

damage, even though you cannot

see the tire damage with your own

eyes, have the tire checked or re‐

placed because the tire damage

may cause air leakage from the

tire.

• If the tire is damaged by driving on

a rough road, off road, pothole,

manhole, or curb stone, it will not

be covered by the warranty.

• You can find out the tire informa‐

tion on the tire sidewall.

FUSES

A vehicle’s electrical system is protec‐

ted from electrical overload damage by

fuses.

This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one loca‐

ted in the driver’s side panel bolster,

another is in the engine compartment.

If any of your vehicle’s lights, accesso‐

ries, or controls do not work, check the

appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse has

blown, the element inside the fuse will

be melted.

If the electrical system does not work,

first check the driver’s side fuse panel.

Before replacing a blown fuse, discon‐

nect the negative battery cable.

Always replace a blown fuse with one

of the same rating.

If the replacement fuse blows, this indi‐

cates an electrical problem. Avoid using

the system involved and immediately

consult a professional workshop. Kia

recommends to consult an authorized

Kia dealer/service partner.

Maintenance

7-58

Three kinds of fuses are used: blade

type for lower amperage rating, car‐

tridge type, and fusible link for higher

amperage ratings.

WARNING

n Fuse replacement

• Never replace a fuse with anything

but another fuse of the same rat‐

ing.

• A higher capacity fuse could cause

damage and possibly a fire.

• Never install a wire or aluminum

foil instead of the proper fuse

even as a temporary repair. It may

cause extensive wiring damage

and a possible fire.

• Do not arbitrarily modify or add-

on electric wiring of the vehicle.

CAUTION

Do not use a screwdriver or any oth‐

er metal object to remove fuses be‐

cause it may cause a short circuit

and damage the system.

NOTICE

The actual fuse/relay panel label

may differ from equipped items.

CAUTION

• When replacing a blown fuse or re‐

lay with a new one, make sure the

new fuse or relay fits tightly into

the clips. The incomplete fastening

fuse or relay may cause the vehi‐

cle wiring and electric systems

damage and a possible fire.

• Do not remove fuses, relays and

terminals fastened with bolts or

nuts. The fuses, relays and termi‐

nals may be fastened incomplete‐

ly, and it may cause a possible fire.
