(Continued)

Continued driving on low pressure

tires can cause the tires to overheat

and fail.

TPMS (Tire pressure

monitoring system)

malfunction indicator

The TPMS malfunction indi‐

cator will illuminate after it blinks for

approximately one minute when there

is a problem with the Tire Pressure

Monitoring System.

In this case, have the system checked

by a professional workshop to deter‐

mine the cause of the problem. Kia rec‐

ommends to visit an authorized Kia

dealer/service partner.

NOTICE

If there is a malfunction with the

TPMS, the low tire pressure position

telltale will not be displayed even

though the vehicle has an under-in‐

flated tire.

CAUTION

• The TPMS malfunction indicator

may blink for approximately

1 minute and then remain continu‐

ously illuminated if the vehicle is

moving around electric power sup‐

ply cables or radios transmitter

such as at police stations, govern‐

ment and public offices, broad‐

casting stations, military installa‐

tions, airports, or transmitting

towers, etc. This can interfere

with normal operation of the Tire

Pressure

Monitoring

System

(TPMS).

• The TPMS malfunction indicator

may blink for approximately

1 minute and then remain continu‐

ously illuminated if snow chains

are used or some separate elec‐

tronic devices such as notebook

computer, mobile charger, remote

starter or navigation etc., are used

in the vehicle.

This can interfere with normal op‐

eration of the Tire Pressure Moni‐

toring System (TPMS).

Changing a tire with TPMS

If you have a flat tire, the low Tire

Pressure and Position telltales will

come on. Kia recommends to visit an

authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

CAUTION

If you use a puncture-repairing

agent to repair and/or inflate a low

pressure tire. The tire sealant may

damage the tire pressure sensor. We

recommend that you use the sealant

approved by Kia. If used, we recom‐

mend that the TPMS be checked by

an authorized Kia dealer.

Each wheel is equipped with a tire pres‐

sure sensor mounted inside the tire be‐

hind the valve stem. You must use

TPMS specific wheels. Have your tires

serviced by a professional workshop.

Kia recommends to visit an authorized

Kia dealer/service partner.

If you drive the vehicle for about

10 minutes at speeds above 25 km/h

after replacing the low pressure tire

with the spare tire, the below will hap‐

pen:

What to do in an emergency

6-12

• The TPMS malfunction indicator may

blink for approximately 1 minute and

then remain continuously illuminated

because the TPMS sensor is not

mounted on the spare wheel.

You may not be able identify a low tire

by simply looking at it. Always use a

good quality tire pressure gauge to

measure the tire's inflation pressure.

Please note that a tire that is hot (from

being driven) will have a higher pres‐

sure measurement than a tire that is

cold (from sitting stationary for at

least 3 hours and driven less than

1 mile during that 3 hour period).

Allow the tire to cool before measuring

the inflation pressure. Always be sure

the tire is cold before inflating to the

recommended pressure.

A cold tire means the vehicle has been

sitting for 3 hours and driven for less

than 1 mile in that 3 hour period.

WARNING

n TPMS

(Continued)

(Continued)

• The TPMS cannot alert you to se‐

vere and sudden tire damage

caused by external factors such as

nails or road debris.

• If you feel any vehicle instability,

immediately take your foot off the

accelerator, apply the brakes grad‐

ually and with light force, and

slowly move to a safe position off

the road.

WARNING

n Protecting TPMS

Tampering with, modifying, or disa‐

bling the Tire Pressure Monitoring

System (TPMS) components may in‐

terfere with the system's ability to

warn the driver of low tire pressure

conditions and/or TPMS malfunc‐

tions. Tampering with, modifying, or

disabling the Tire Pressure Monitor‐

ing System (TPMS) components may

void the warranty for that portion of

the vehicle.

WARNING

n For EUROPE

• Do not modify the vehicle, it may

interfere with the TPMS function.

• The wheels on the market do not

have a TPMS sensor.

For your safety, use parts for re‐

placement from a professional

workshop. Kia recommends to visit

an authorized Kia dealer/service

partner

• If you use the wheels on the mar‐

ket, use a TPMS sensor approved

by an authorized Kia dealer.

If your vehicle is not equipped with

a TPMS sensor or TPMS does not

work properly, you may fail the

periodic vehicle inspection conduc‐

ted in your country.

from rattling while the vehicle is in

motion, store them properly.

If it is hard to loosen the tire hold-down

wing bolt by a hand, you can loosen it

easily using the Jack handle.

1. Put the Jack handle (1) into the in‐

side of tire hold-down wing bolt.

2. Turn the tire hold-down wing bolt

counterclockwise by the Jack han‐

dle to utilize the principles of the

lever and fulcrum.

CAUTION

When you remove or store the spare

tire, don't give a shock to the bat‐

tery.

Shock to the battery may cause fail‐

ure of electrical circuits.

wheel that is diagonally opposite

the jack position.

WARNING

n Changing a tire

•

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.

(Continued)

(Continued)

•

We recommend that the wheels

of the vehicle be blocked, and

that no person remain in the ve‐

hicle that is being jacked.

6. Insert the tool (1) into the hole and

pull out the wheel cover.

CAUTION

When removing the wheel cover, if

you use any other tool except the

tool (1), the wheel cover may be

damaged.

7. 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.

What to do in an emergency

6-16

8. Place the jack at the front or rear

jacking position closest to the tire

you are changing. Place the jack at

the designated locations under the

frame. The jacking positions 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.

9. 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

removing the wheel lug nuts, make

sure the vehicle is stable and that

there is no chance for movement or

slippage.

10. 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 and wheel caps may

have sharp edges. Handle them

carefully to avoid possible severe

injury.

(Continued)

(Continued)

•

Before putting the wheel into

place, be sure that there is noth‐

ing 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 the contact of

the mounting surface between

the wheel and hub is not good,

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.

11. To reinstall the wheel, hold it on the

studs, put the wheel nuts on the

studs and tighten them finger

tight. The nuts should be installed

with their tapered small diameter

ends directed inward. Jiggle the tire

to be sure it is completely seated,

then tighten the nuts as much as

possible with your fingers again.

12. Lower the car to the ground by

turning the wheel nut wrench

counterclockwise.

What to do in an emer

gency

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 nut follow‐

ing the numerical sequence shown in

the image until they are all tight. Then

double-check each nut for tightness.

After changing wheels, have the sys‐

tem checked by a professional work‐

shop. Kia recommends to visit an au‐

thorized Kia dealer/service partner.

Wheel nut tightening torque:

Steel wheel & aluminum alloy wheel:

9~11 kg·m (65~79 lb·ft)

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.

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 front wheels on the ground (with‐

out dollies) and the rear wheels off the

ground.

If any of the loaded wheels or suspen‐

sion components are damaged or the

vehicle is being towed with the rear

wheels on the ground, use a towing

dolly under the rear wheels.

When being towed by a commercial

tow truck and wheel dollies are not

used, the rear of the vehicle should al‐

ways be lifted, not the front.

• Ensure any metal parts on the tie‐

down straps do not contact painted

surfaces or the face of the wheels.

• Do not place straps over the body

panels or through the wheels.

CAUTION

Attaching straps to the chasis, sus‐

pension or other parts of the body

can cause damage.

What to do in an emergency

6-22

CAUTION

• Do not tow the vehicle with the

rear 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 Engine Start/Stop button in

the ACC position.

2. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
3. Release the parking brake.

CAUTION

Failure to place the shift lever in N

(Neutral) may cause internal dam‐

age to the transaxle.

CAUTION

If the ECS malfunction indicator illu‐

minates when there is no air in the

suspension, the vehicle height will be

very lower, so do not drive to pro‐

tect the vehicle from the projections

on the surface of the ground.

We recommend that you take your

vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer

by towing the vehicle and have the
(Continued)

(Continued)

system checked. You should tow the

vehicle as the picture.

When you load the vehicle onto the tow

truck, the loading angle(1) should be

smaller than 5 .

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

What to do in an emergency

6-24

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 rear of the vehicle. Use ex‐

treme 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 speeds. Also, the

wheels, axles, power train, steering and

brakes must all be in good condition.

• 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 that

the hook is not broken or damaged.

• Fasten the towing cable or chain se‐

curely to the hook.

• Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady

and 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. 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.

6-25

6

What to do in an emer

gency

• Use a towing strap less than 5 m

long. Attach a white or red cloth

(about 30 cm wide) in the middle of

the strap for easy visibility.

• Drive carefully so that the towing

strap is not loosened during towing.

Emergency towing precautions

• Place the Engine Start/Stop button in

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

• 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. Engine Start/Stop button a

driver must be in the towed vehicle

to operate the steering and

brakes.

• To avoid serious damage to the

automatic transaxle, limit the ve‐

hicle speed to 15 km/h and drive

less than 1.5 km when towing.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Before towing, check the auto‐

matic transaxle for fluid leaks un‐

der your vehicle. If the automatic

transaxle fluid is leaking, a flatbed

equipment or towing dolly must be

used.

What to do in an emergency

6-26

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 8-07.

6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.
