Maintenance

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 condi-
tions 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 temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade C cor-
responds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the labora-
tory test wheel than the minimum
required by law.

Tire terminology and definitions
Air Pressure:

The amount of air

inside the tire pressing outward on
the tire. Air pressure is expressed in
kilopascal (kPa) or pounds per
square inch (psi).

Accessory Weight:

This means the

combined weight of optional acces-
sories. Some examples of optional
accessories are, automatic
transaxle, power seats, and air con-
ditioning.

Aspect Ratio:

The relationship of a

tire's height to its width.

Belt:

A rubber coated layer of cords

that is located between the plies and
the tread. Cords may be made from
steel or other reinforcing materials.

Bead:

The tire bead contains steel

wires wrapped by steel cords that
hold the tire onto the rim.

Bias Ply Tire:

A pneumatic tire in

which the plies are laid at alternate
angles less than 90 degrees to the
centerline of the tread.

Cold Tire Pressure:

The amount of

air pressure in a tire, measured in
kilopascals (kPa) or pounds per
square inch (psi) before a tire has
built up heat from driving.

Curb Weight:

This means the weight

of a motor vehicle with standard and
optional equipment including the
maximum capacity of fuel, oil and
coolant, but without passengers and
cargo.

DOT Markings:

A code molded into

the sidewall of a tire signifying that
the tire is in compliance with the U.S.
Department of Transportation motor
vehicle safety standards. The DOT
code includes the Tire Identification

All season tires

Kia specifies all season tires on
some models to provide good per-
formance for use all year round,
including snowy and icy road condi-
tions. All season tires are identified
by ALL SEASON and/or M+S (Mud
and Snow) on the tire sidewall. Snow
tires have better snow traction than
all season tires and may be more
appropriate in some areas.

Summer tires

Kia specifies summer tires on some
models to provide superior perform-
ance on dry roads. Summer tire per-
formance is substantially reduced in
snow and ice. Summer tires do not
have the tire traction rating M+S
(Mud and Snow) on the tire side wall.
If you plan to operate your vehicle in
snowy or icy conditions, Kia recom-
mends the use of snow tires or all
season tires on all four wheels.

Snow tires

If you equip your car with snow tires,
they should be the same size and
have the same load capacity as the
original tires. Snow tires should be
installed on all four wheels; other-
wise, poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28
kPa) more air pressure than the
pressure recommended for the stan-
dard tires on the tire label on the dri-
ver's side of the center pillar, or up to
the maximum pressure shown on the
tire sidewall, whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120
km/h) when your vehicle is equipped
with snow tires.

Tire chains

Tire chains, if necessary, should be
installed on the front wheels.
Be sure that the chains are installed
in accordance with the manufactur-
er's instructions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do
not continue to use tire chains when
they are no longer needed.
• When driving on roads covered

with snow or ice, drive at less than
20 mph (30 km/h).

• Use the SAE “S” class or wire

chains.

• If you hear noise caused by chains

contacting the body, retighten the
chain to avoid contact with the
vehicle body.

• To prevent body damage, retighten

the chains after driving 0.3~0.6
miles (0.5~1.0 km).

• Do not use tire chains on vehicles

equipped with aluminum wheels.
In unavoidable circumstances, use
a wire type chain.

• Use wire chains less than 0.47

inches (12 mm) to prevent damage
to the chain’s connection.

Maintenance

Radial-ply tires

Radial-ply tires provide improved
tread life, road hazard resistance and
smoother high speed ride. The radi-
al-ply tires used on this vehicle are
of belted construction and are select-
ed to complement the ride and han-
dling characteristics of your vehicle.
Radial-ply tires have the same load
carrying capacity as bias-ply or bias
belted tires of the same size and use
the same recommended inflation
pressure. Mixing of radial-ply tires
with bias-ply or bias belted tires is
not recommended. Any combina-
tions of radial-ply and bias-ply or bias
belted tires when used on the same
vehicle will seriously deteriorate
vehicle handling. The best rule to fol-
low is: identical radial-ply tires should
always be used as a set of four.

Longer wearing tires can be more
susceptible to irregular tread wear. It
is very important to follow the tire
rotation interval shown in this section
to achieve the tread life potential of
these tires. Cuts and punctures in
radial-ply tires are repairable only in
the tread area, because of sidewall
flexing. Consult your tire dealer for
radial-ply tire repairs.

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 brak-
ing, it may be more uncomfortable to
ride in and there is more noise com-
pare with normal tires.

Maintenance

• 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 it, have the tire checked or
replaced 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 information

on the tire sidewall.

CAUTION

Because the sidewall of the low
aspect ratio tire is shorter than
the normal, the wheel and tire of
the low aspect ratio tire is easi-
er 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 driv-
ing, 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 dam-
aged.

• If the tire is impacted, we rec-

ommend that you inspect the
tire condition or contact an
authorized Kia dealer.

• To prevent damage to the tire,

inspect the tire condition and
pressure every 1,900 miles
(3,000 km).

FUSES

❈ Left side : Normal , Right side : Blown

A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels,
one located in the driver’s side panel
bolster, the other in the engine com-
partment near the battery.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, acces-
sories, or controls do not work, check
the appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse
has blown, the element inside the
fuse will melt.
If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver’s side
fuse panel.
Always replace a blown fuse with
one of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and imme-
diately consult an authorized Kia
dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
tridge type, and multi fuse for higher
amperage ratings.

• Do not arbitrarily modify or add-on

electric wiring to the vehicle.

WARNING

- Fuse replace-

ment

• Never replace a fuse with any-

thing but another fuse of the
same rating.

• A higher capacity fuse could

cause damage and possibly a
fire.

• Never install a wire or alu-

minum foil instead of the
proper fuse - even as a tem-
porary repair. It may cause
extensive wiring damage and
a possible fire.

CAUTION

Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove
fuses because it may cause a
short circuit and damage the
system.
