What to do in an emergency
Wheel nut tightening torque:
Steel wheel & aluminum alloy wheel:
11~13kgf·m (79~94lbf·ft)
If you have a tyre gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure.
If the pressure is lower than recom-
mended, drive slowly to the nearest
service station and inflate to the cor-
rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust it
until it is correct. Always reinstall the
valve cap after checking or adjusting
tyre pressure. 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.
• Check the tyre pressure as soon
as possible after installing a spare
tyre. Adjust it to the recommended
pressure.
• Check and tighten the wheel lug
nuts after driving over 50 km if
tyres are replaced. Re-check the
tyre wheel lug nuts after driving
over 1,000 km.
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 configuration 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 profession-
al workshop. Kia recommends
to consult an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
