If you have a tyre gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure. If
the pressure is lower than recom

vice station and inflate to the correct
pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it
is correct. Always reinstall the valve cap
after checking or adjusting tyre pres

sure. If the cap is not replaced, air may
leak from the tyre. If you lose a valve
cap, buy another and install it as soon as
possible.
After you have changed wheels, always
secure the flat tyre in its place and
return the jack and tools to their proper
storage locations.
CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on the
wheel studs and nuts. Make certain
during wheel removal that the same
nuts that were removed are reinstalled -
or, if replaced, that nuts with metric
threads and the same chamfer configu

ration are used. Installation 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.
Note that most lug nuts do not have
metric threads. Be sure to use extreme
care in checking for thread style before
installing aftermarket lug nuts or wheels.
If in doubt, consult a professional work

shop. Kia recommends to consult an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
