(Continued)

• The vehicle can easily roll off

the jack causing serious

injury or death.

that is supported by a jack.

• Do not start or run the engine

while the vehicle is on the

jack.

• Do not allow anyone to remain

• Make sure any children pres-

ent are in a secure place away

from the road and from the

vehicle to be raised with the

jack.

1. Park on a level surface and apply

the parking brake firmly.

Turn the tire hold-down wing bolt (1)

counterclockwise.

WARNING - Changing a tire

• To prevent vehicle movement

while changing a tire, always

set the parking brake fully,

and always block the wheel

diagonally opposite the wheel

being changed.

• We recommend that the

wheels of the vehicle be

chocked, and that no person

remain in a vehicle that is

being jacked.

4. Remove the wheel lug nut wrench,

jack, jack handle, and spare tire

from the vehicle.

6. Loosen the wheel lug nuts coun-

terclockwise one turn each, but do

not remove any nut until the tire

has been raised off the ground.

5. Block both the front and rear of the

wheel that is diagonally opposite

the jack position.

9. Loosen the wheel nuts and

remove them with your fingers.

Slide the wheel off the studs and

lay it flat so it cannot roll away. To

put the wheel on the hub, pick up

the spare tire, line up the holes

with the studs and slide the wheel

onto them. If this is difficult, tip the

wheel slightly and get the top hole

in the wheel lined up with the top

stud. Then jiggle the wheel back

and forth until the wheel can be

slid over the other studs.

7. Place the jack at the front (1) or 8. Insert the jack handle into the jack

rear (2) jacking position closest to

the tire you are changing. Place

the jack at the designated loca-

tions under the frame. The jacking

positions are plates welded to the

frame with two tabs and a raised

dot to index with the jack.

and turn it clockwise, raising the

vehicle until the tire just clears the

ground. This measurement is

approximately 30 mm (1.2 in).

Before removing the wheel lug

nuts, make sure the vehicle is sta-

ble and that there is no chance for

movement or slippage.

WARNING - Jack location

To reduce the possibility of

injury, be sure to use only the

jack provided with the vehicle

and in the correct jack position;

never use any other part of the

vehicle for jack support.

10. To reinstall the wheel, hold it on

the studs, put the wheel nuts on

the studs and tighten them finger

tight.The nuts should be installed

with their tapered small diameter

ends directed inward. Jiggle the

tire to be sure it is completely

seated, then tighten the nuts as

much as possible with your fin-

gers again.

WARNING

• Wheels and wheel covers may

have sharp edges. Handle

them carefully to avoid possi-

ble severe injury.

• Before putting the wheel into

place, be sure that there is

nothing on the hub or wheel

(such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.)

that interferes with the wheel

from fitting solidly against the

hub. If there is, remove it. If

the contact of the mounting

surface between the wheel

and hub is not good, the

wheel nuts could come loose

and cause loss of a wheel.

Loss of a wheel may result in

losing control of the vehicle.

This may cause serious injury

or death.

11. Lower the vehicle to the ground

by turning the wheel nut wrench

counterclockwise.

OGD061013

Then position the wrench as shown

in the drawing and tighten the wheel

nuts. Be sure the socket is seated

completely over the nut. Do not stand

on the wrench handle or use an

extension pipe over the wrench han-

dle. Go around the wheel tightening

every nut following the numerical

sequence shown in the image until

they are all tight. Then double-check

each nut for tightness. After changing

wheels, we recommend that the sys-

tem be checked by an authorized Kia

dealer.

Wheel nut tightening torque:

Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel:

9~11 kg.m (65~79 lb.ft)

CAUTION

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.

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.

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

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

tire pressure. If the cap is not

replaced, air may leak from the tire. If

you lose a valve cap, buy another and

install it as soon as possible.

To prevent the jack, jack handle,

wheel lug nut wrench and spare tire

from rattling while the vehicle is in

motion, store them properly.

WARNING - Inadequate

spare tire pressure

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, we recommend that

you consult an authorized Kia

dealer.

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” in

chapter 8.

After you have changed wheels,

always secure the flat tire in its place

and return the jack and tools to their

proper storage locations.

What to do in an emergency

Important - use of compact spare tire

(if equipped)

When using a compact spare tire,

observe the following precautions:

WARNING

Your vehicle is equipped with a com-

pact spare tire. This compact spare

tire takes up less space than a regu-

lar-size tire.This tire is smaller than a

conventional tire and is designed for

temporary use only.

The compact spare tire is for

emergency use only. Do not

operate your vehicle on this

compact spare at the speed

over 80 km/h (50 mph).The orig-

inal tire should be repaired or

replaced as soon as possible to

avoid failure of the spare possi-

bly leading to personal injury or

death.

• Under no circumstances should

you exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a

higher speed could damage the

tire.

• Ensure that you drive slowly

enough to avoid all hazards. Any

road hazard, such as a pothole or

debris, could seriously damage the

compact spare.

CAUTION

• 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.

• Any continuous road use of this tire

could result in tire failure, loss of

vehicle control, and possible per-

sonal injury.

The compact spare should be inflat-

ed to 420 kPa (60 psi).

• Do not exceed the vehicle’s maxi-

mum load rating or the load-carry-

ing capacity shown on the sidewall

of the compact spare tire.

• The operation of this vehicle

is not recommended with

more than one compact spare

tire in use at the same time.

✽

NOTICE

Check the inflation pressure after

installing the spare tire. Adjust it to

the specified pressure, as necessary.

• Avoid driving over obstacles. The

compact spare tire diameter is

smaller than the diameter of a con-

ventional tire and reduces the

ground clearance approximately

25 mm (1 inch), which could result

in damage to the vehicle.

be used on any other wheels, nor

should standard tires, snow tires,

wheel covers or trim rings be used

with the compact spare wheel. If

such use is attempted, damage to

these items or other car compo-

nents may occur.

• Do not use tire chains on the com-

pact spare tire. Because of the

smaller size, a tire chain will not fit

properly. This could damage the

vehicle and result in loss of the

chain.

• Do not use more than one compact

spare tire at a time.

pact spare tire is installed.

• Do not use the compact spare tire

on any other vehicle because this

tire has been designed especially

for your vehicle.

• The compact spare tire’s tread life

is shorter than a regular tire.

Inspect your compact spare tire

regularly and replace worn com-

pact spare tires with the same size

and design, mounted on the same

wheel.
