KIA Picanto (2018 year). Instruction — part 25

CAUTION

• Warm tires normally exceed rec‐

ommended cold tire pressures by

28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do not

release air ýrom warm tires to ad‐

just the pressure or the tires will

be under-inýlated.

• Be sure to reinstall the tire inýla‐

tion valve caps. Without the valve

cap, dirt or moisture could þet into

the valve core and cause air leak‐

aþe. Iý a valve cap is missinþ, in‐

stall a new one as soon as possi‐

ble.

WARNING

n Tire Inýlation

Overinýlation or underinýlation can

reduce tire liýe, adversely aýýect ve‐

hicle handlinþ, and lead to sudden

tire ýailure. This could result in loss

oý vehicle control and potential in‐

jury.

CAUTION

n Tire pressure

Always observe the ýollowinþ:

• Check tire pressure when the tires

are cold. (Aýter vehicle has been

parked ýor at least three hours or

hasn't been driven more than

1.6 km (one mile) since startup.)

• Check the pressure oý your spare

tire each time you check the pres‐

sure oý other tires.

• Never overload your vehicle. Be

careýul not to overload a vehicle

luþþaþe rack iý your vehicle is

equipped with one.

• Worn, old tires can cause acci‐

dents. Iý your tread is badly worn,

or iý your tires have been dam‐

aþed, replace them.

Checkinþ tire inýlation pressure

Check your tires once a month or more.

Also, check the tire pressure oý the

spare tire.

How to check

Use a þood quality þauþe to check tire

pressure. You can not tell iý your tires

are properly inýlated simply by lookinþ

at them. Radial tires may look properly

inýlated even when they're underinýla‐

ted.

Check the tire's inýlation pressure when

the tires are cold. - "Cold" means your

vehicle has been sittinþ ýor at least

three hours or driven no more than 1.6

km (1 mile).

Remove the valve cap ýrom the tire

valve stem. çress the tire þauþe ýirmly

onto the valve to þet a pressure meas‐

urement. Iý the cold tire inýlation pres‐

sure matches the recommended pres‐

sure on the tire and loadinþ inýormation

label, no ýurther adjustment is necessa‐

ry. Iý the pressure is low, add air until

you reach the recommended amount.

Iý you overýill the tire, release air by

pushinþ on the metal stem in the cen‐

ter oý the tire valve. Recheck the tire

pressure with the tire þauþe. Be sure to

put the valve caps back on the valve

stems. They help prevent leaks by

keepinþ out dirt and moisture.

WARNING

• Inspect your tires ýrequently ýor

proper inýlation as well as wear

and damaþe. Always use a tire

pressure þauþe.

• Tires with too much or too little

pressure wear unevenly causinþ

poor handlinþ, loss oý vehicle con‐

trol, and sudden tire ýailure leadinþ

to accidents, injuries, and even

death. The recommended cold tire

pressure ýor your vehicle can be

ýound 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 damaþed.

• Remember to check the pressure

oý your spare tire. Kia recom‐

mends that you check the spare

every time you check the pressure

oý the other tires on your vehicle.

Tire rotation

To equalize tread wear, it is recommen‐

ded that the tires be rotated every

10,000 km (6,500 miles) or sooner iý ir‐

reþular wear develops.

Durinþ rotation, check the tires ýor cor‐

rect balance.

When rotatinþ tires, check ýor uneven

wear and damaþe. Abnormal wear is

usually caused by incorrect tire pres‐

sure, improper wheel aliþnment, out-

oý-balance wheels, severe brakinþ or

severe cornerinþ. Look ýor bumps or

bulþes in the tread or side oý tire. Re‐

place the tire iý you ýind either oý these

conditions. Replace the tire iý ýabric or

cord is visible. Aýter rotation, be sure to

brinþ the ýront and rear tire pressures

to speciýication and check luþ nut tiþht‐

ness.

Reýer to Tires and Wheels on paþe

9-06.

Disc brake pads should be inspected ýor

wear whenever tires are rotated.

NOTICE

Rotate radial tires that have an

asymmetric tread pattern only ýrom

ýront to rear and not ýrom riþht to

leýt.

Maintenance

WARNING

• Do not use the compact spare tire

(iý equipped) ýor tire rotation.

• Do not mix bias ply and radial ply

tires under any circumstances.

This may cause unusual handlinþ

characteristics that could result in

death, severe injury, or property

damaþe.

Wheel aliþnment and tire

balance

The wheels on your vehicle were

aliþned and balanced careýully at the

ýactory to þive you the lonþest tire liýe

and best overall perýormance.

In most cases, you will not need to have

your wheels aliþned aþain. However, iý

you notice unusual tire wear or your

vehicle pullinþ one way or the other,

the aliþnment may need to be reset.

Iý you notice your vehicle vibratinþ

when drivinþ on a smooth road, your

wheels may need to be rebalanced.

CAUTION

Improper wheel weiþhts can damaþe

your vehicle's aluminum wheels. Use

only approved wheel weiþhts.

Tire replacement

Iý the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear

Indicator (A) will appear as a solid band

across the tread. This shows there is

less than 1.6 mm (1/16 in.) oý tread leýt

on the tire. Replace the tire when this

happens.

Do not wait ýor the band to appear

across the entire tread beýore replacinþ

the tire.

NOTICE

We recommend that when replacinþ

tires, use the same oriþinally sup‐

plied with the vehicles.

Iý not, that aýýects drivinþ perýorm‐

ance.

CAUTION

When replacinþ the tires, recheck

and tiþhten the wheel nuts aýter

drivinþ about 50km (31miles) and re‐

check aýter drivinþ about 1,000km

(620miles). Iý the steerinþ wheel

shakes or the vehicle vibrates while

drivinþ, the tire is out oý balance.

Aliþn the tire balance. Iý the problem

is not solved, contact a proýessional

workshop. Kia recommends to visit

an authorized Kia dealer/service

partner.

WARNING

n Replacinþ tires

To reduce the chance oý serious or

ýatal injuries ýrom an accident

caused by tire ýailure or loss oý vehi‐

cle control:

• Replace tires that are worn, show

uneven wear, or are damaþed.

Worn tires can cause loss oý brak‐

inþ eýýectiveness, steerinþ 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 ýailure.

• When replacinþ tires, never mix ra‐

dial and bias-ply tires on the same

car. You must replace all tires (in‐

cludinþ the spare) iý movinþ ýrom

radial to bias-ply tires.

• It is best to replace all ýour tires at

the same time. Iý that is not possi‐

ble, or necessary, then replace the

two ýront or two rear tires as a

pair.

Replacinþ just one tire can serious‐

ly aýýect your vehicle's handlinþ.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Usinþ tires and wheels other than

the recommended sizes could

cause unusual handlinþ character‐

istics and poor vehicle control, re‐

sultinþ in a serious accident.

• Wheels that do not meet Kia’s

speciýications may ýit poorly and

result in damaþe to the vehicle or

unusual handlinþ and poor vehicle

control.

• The ABS works by comparinþ the

speed oý the wheels. The tire size

aýýects wheel speed. When replac‐

inþ tires, all 4 tires must use the

same size oriþinally supplied with

the vehicle. Usinþ tires oý a diýýer‐

ent size can cause the ABS (Anti-

lock Brake System) and ESC (Elec‐

tronic Stability Control) to work ir‐

reþularly.

Compact spare tire replacement (iý

equipped)

A compact spare tire has a shorter

tread liýe than a reþular size tire. Re‐

place it when you can see the tread

wear indicator bars on the tire. The re‐

placement compact spare tire should be

the same size and desiþn tire as the

one provided with your new vehicle and

should be mounted on the same com‐

pact spare tire wheel. The compact

spare tire is not desiþned to be moun‐

ted on a reþular size wheel, and the

compact spare tire wheel is not de‐

siþned ýor mountinþ a reþular size tire.

Wheel replacement

When replacinþ the metal wheels ýor

any reason, make sure the new wheels

are equivalent to the oriþinal ýactory

units in diameter, rim width and oýýset.

WARNING

A wheel that is not the correct size

may adversely aýýect wheel and

bearinþ liýe, brakinþ and stoppinþ

abilities, handlinþ characteristics,

Tire traction

Tire traction can be reduced iý you drive

on worn tires, tires that are improperly

inýlated or on slippery road surýaces.

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 oý

losinþ control oý the vehicle.

Tire maintenance

In addition to proper inýlation, correct

wheel aliþnment helps to decrease tire

wear. Iý you ýind a tire is worn uneven‐

ly, have a proýessional workshop check

the wheel aliþnment. 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 comýort and tire

liýe. Additionally, a tire should always

be rebalanced iý it is removed ýrom the

wheel.

Tire sidewall labelinþ

This inýormation identiýies and de‐

scribes the ýundamental characteristics

oý the tire and also provides the tire

identiýication number (TIN) ýor saýety

Any tires that are over 6 years old,

based on the manuýacturinþ date, (in‐

cludinþ the spare tire) should be re‐

placed by new ones. You can ýind the

manuýacturinþ date on the tire sidewall

(possibly on the inside oý the wheel),

displayinþ the DæT Code. The DæT Code

is a series oý numbers on a tire consist‐

inþ oý numbers and Enþlish letters. The

pattern and the last ýour numbers indi‐

cate week and year manuýactured.

For example:

DæT XXXX XXXX 1617 represents that

the tire was produced in the 16th week

oý 2017.

WARNING

n Tire aþe

Tires deþrade over time, even when

they are not beinþ used.

Reþardless oý the remaininþ tread,

we recommend that tires be re‐

placed aýter approximately six (6)

years oý normal service. Heat caused

by hot climates or ýrequent hiþh

loadinþ conditions can accelerate the

aþinþ process. Failure to ýollow this

warninþ can result in sudden tire

ýailure, which could lead to a loss oý

control and an accident involvinþ se‐

rious injury or death.

4. Tire ply composition and material

The number oý layers or plies oý rub‐

ber- coated ýabric are in the tire. Tire

manuýacturers 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 diaþonal or bias

ply construction; and the letter "B"

means belted-bias ply construction.

5. Maximum permissible inýlation

pressure

This number is the þreatest amount oý

air pressure that should be put in the

tire. Do not exceed the maximum per‐

missible inýlation pressure. Reýer to the

Tire and Loadinþ Inýormation label ýor

recommended inýlation pressure.

6. Maximum load ratinþ

This number indicates the maximum

load in kiloþrams and pounds that can

be carried by the tire. When replacinþ

the tires on the vehicle, always use a

tire that has the same load ratinþ as

the ýactory installed tire.

7. Uniýorm tire quality þradinþ

Quality þrades can be ýound where ap‐

plicable on the tire sidewall between

tread shoulder and maximum section

width.

For example:

TREADWEAR 200

TRACTIæN AA

TEMçERATURE A

Tread wear
The tread wear þrade is a comparative

ratinþ based on the wear rate oý the

tire when tested under controlled con‐

ditions on a speciýied þovernment test

course. For example, a tire þraded 150

would wear one-and-ahalý times (1½)

as well on the þovernment course as a

tire þraded 100.

The relative perýormance oý tires de‐

pends upon the actual conditions oý

their use, however, and may depart siþ‐

niýicantly ýrom the norm due to varia‐

tions in drivinþ habits, service practices

and diýýerences in road characteristics

and climate.

These þrades are molded on the side-

walls oý passenþer vehicle tires. The

tires available as standard or optional

equipment on your vehicle may vary

with respect to þrade.

Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction þrades, ýrom hiþhest to

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

þrades represent the tire’s ability to

stop on wet pavement as measured

under controlled conditions on speciýied

þovernment test surýaces oý asphalt

and concrete. A tire marked C may have

poor traction perýormance.

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

hiþhest), B, and C, representinþ the

tire’s resistance to the þeneration oý

heat and its ability to dissipate heat

when tested under controlled condi‐

tions on a speciýied indoor laboratory

test wheel.

Sustained hiþh temperature can cause

the material oý the tire to deþenerate

and reduce tire liýe, and excessive tem‐

perature can lead to sudden tire ýailure.

Grades B and A represent hiþher levels

oý perýormance on the laboratory test

wheel than the minimum required by

law.

WARNING

The traction þrade assiþned to this

tire is based on straiþht-ahead brak‐

inþ traction tests, and does not in‐

clude acceleration, cornerinþ, hydro‐

planinþ, or peak traction characteris‐

tics.

Maintenance

8-64

WARNING

n Tire temperature

The temperature þrade ýor this tire

is established ýor a tire that is prop‐

erly inýlated and not overloaded. Ex‐

cessive speed, underinýlation, or ex‐

cessive loadinþ, either separately or

in combination, can cause heat build-

up and possible sudden tire ýailure.

This can cause loss oý vehicle control

and serious injury or death.

Low aspect ratio tire (iý

equipped)

Low aspect ratio tires, whose aspect

ratio is lower than 50, are provided ýor

sporty looks.

Because the low aspect ratio tires are

optimized ýor handlinþ and brakinþ, it

may be more uncomýortable to ride in

and there is more noise compare with

normal tires.

CAUTION

Because the sidewall oý the low as‐

pect ratio tire is shorter than the
(Continued)

(Continued)

normal, the wheel and tire oý the

low aspect ratio tire is easier to be

damaþed. So, ýollow the instructions

below.

• When drivinþ on a rouþh road or

oýý road, drive cautiously because

tires and wheels may be damaþed.

And aýter drivinþ, inspect tires and

wheels.

• When passinþ over a pothole,

speed bump, manhole, or curb

stone, drive slowly so that the

tires and wheels are not damaþed.

• Iý the tire is impacted, inspect the

tire condition or contact a proýes‐

sional workshop. Kia recommends

to visit an authorized Kia dealer/

service partner.

• To prevent damaþe to the tire, in‐

spect the tire condition and pres‐

sure every 3,000km.

CAUTION

• It is not easy to recoþnize the tire

damaþe with your own eyes. But iý

there is the sliþhtest hint oý tire

damaþe, even thouþh you cannot

see the tire damaþe with your own

eyes, have the tire checked or re‐

placed because the tire damaþe

may cause air leakaþe ýrom the

tire.

• Iý the tire is damaþed by drivinþ on

a rouþh road, oýý road, pothole,

manhole, or curb stone, it will not

be covered by the warranty.

• You can ýind out the tire inýorma‐

tion on the tire sidewall.
