mation label, no further adjustment is
necessary. If the pressure is low, add air
until you reach the recommended
amount.
If you overfill the tyre, release air by
pushing on the metal stem in the centre
of the tyre valve. Recheck the tyre pres
-
sure with the tyre gauge. Be sure to put
the valve caps back on the valve stems.
They help prevent leaks by keeping out
dirt and moisture.
WARNING
僅 Inspect your tyres frequently for
proper inflation as well as wear and
damage. Always use a tyre pressure
gauge.
僅 Tyres with too much or too little pres
-
sure wear unevenly causing poor han
-
dling, loss of vehicle control, and
sudden tyre failure leading to acci
-
dents, injuries, and even death. The
recommended cold tyre pressure for
your vehicle can be found in this man
-
ual and on the tyre label located on
the driver's side centre pillar.
僅 Worn tyres can cause accidents.
Replace tyres that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
僅 Remember to check the pressure of
your spare tyre. Kia recommends that
you check the spare every time you
check the pressure of the other tyres
on your vehicle.
Tyre rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is recom
-
mended that the tyres be rotated every
10,000 km (6,500 miles) or sooner if
irregular wear develops.
During rotation, check the tyres for cor
-
rect balance.
When rotating tyres, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by incorrect tyre 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 tyre.
Replace the tyre if you find either of
these conditions. Replace the tyre if fab
-
ric or cord is visible. After rotation, be
sure to bring the front and rear tyre
pressures to specification and check lug
nut tightness.
Refer to "Tyres and wheels" on page 9-8.
Without a spare tyre
Directional tyres (if equipped)
Disc brake pads should be inspected for
wear whenever tyres are rotated.
NOTICE
Rotate radial tyres that have an asym
-
metric tread pattern only from front to
rear and not from right to left.
