What to do in an emergency
16 6
If you have a flat tire
they are all tight. Double-check each
nut for tightness.
18.After changing wheels, have an
authorized Kia dealer tighten the
wheel nuts to their proper torque as
soon as possible.
19.To prevent the jack, wheel lug nut
wrench and spare tire from rattling
while the vehicle is in motion, store
them properly.
20.Check the inflation pressures as soon
as possible after installing the spare
tire. Adjust it to the specified pressure,
if necessary. Refer to "Tires and
wheels" on page 8-5.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
79~94 lbf·ft (11~13 kgf·m)
If you have a tire gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure. If
the pressure is lower than recom
-
mended, drive slowly to the nearest ser
-
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 the tire pres
-
sure. If the cap is not replaced, dust and
dirt may get into the tire valve and 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 the wheels,
always secure the flat tire in its place
and return the jack and tools to their
proper storage locations.
CAUTION
Reusing lug 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. Your vehicle has
metric threads on the wheel studs and
nuts. Installation of a non-metric thread
nut on a metric stud will not secure the
wheel to the hub properly and will dam
-
age 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 an authorized Kia
dealer.
WARNING
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 serious injuries.
Important - USE OF SPARE TIRE
Your vehicle is equipped with a compact
spare tire. This compact spare tire takes
up less space than a regular-size tire.
This tire is smaller than a conventional
tire and is designed for temporary use
only.
僅 You should drive carefully when the
compact spare is in use. The compact
spare should be replaced by the
proper conventional tire and rim at
the first opportunity.
