MAINTENANCE
Tire Rotation
(Continued)
WARNING - Tire Inflation
To  equalize tread  wear, it  is  recom-
mended   that  the   tires  be   rotated
every  12,000   km  (7,500  miles)   or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
During  rotation,  check  the  tires  for
correct balance.
When rotating tires, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear  is
usually caused by incorrect tire  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  tire.
Replace the  tire if  you find  either  of
these conditions. Replace tires show-
ing  fabric or  cord. After  rotation,  be
sure  to bring  the  front and  rear tire
pressures to  specification and check
lug nut tightness.
So keep you  tire pressures at
the proper  levels. If a  tire fre-
quently needs refilling, have it
checked by an  authorized Kia
dealer   or  a   competent   tire
shop.
Over inflation or under  inflation
can  reduce  tire  life,  adversely
affect   vehicle    handling,   and
lead to  sudden  tire failure. You
could  lose  control and  have  a
serious accident.  Follow all the
guidelines   about   proper    tire
maintenance.
•  Overinflation     produces
a
harsh   ride,   handling   prob-
lems,  excessive  wear  at  the
center  of  the  tire  tread, pro-
longed braking distance and a
greater possibility  of damage
from road hazards.
Warm  tires  normally   exceed
recommended  cold tire  pres-
sures by  4  to 6  psi (28  to 41
kPa). Do  not  release air  from
warm tires to  adjust the pres-
sure.The tires will be underin-
flated.
•  Be  sure  to  reinstall   the  tire
inflation  valve  caps.  Without
the valve cap, dirt or moisture
could get  into  the valve  core
and  cause air  leakage.  If  the
cap   have  been   lost,  install
new one as soon as possible.
Underinflation
results
in
excessive   wear,   poor   han-
dling, reduced  fuel  economy,
and  possibility   of   blowouts
from  overheated   tires.  Also,
low  tire  pressure  can  cause
poor seating  of the  tire bead.
If  the tire  pressure  is  exces-
sively low, wheel  deformation
and/or tire  separation is  pos-
sible.
