Tires care
✽ NOTICE
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tire
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.
• Underinflation also results in
excessive wear, poor handling and
reduced fuel economy. Wheel
deformation also is possible. Keep
your tire pressures at the proper
levels. If a tire frequently needs
refilling, have it checked by an
Authorized Kia Dealer.

Inflation pressures
•
Overinflation produces a harsh
ride, excessive wear at the center
of the tire tread, and a greater pos-
sibility of damage from road haz-
ards.
All tire pressures (including the
spare) should be checked every day
when the tires are cold. “Cold Tires” All specifications (sizes and pres-
means the vehicle has not been dri- sures) can be found on a label
ven for at least three hours or driven attached to the front driver’s door sill.
less than 1.6 km (one mile).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, top vehi-
cle handling, and minimum tire wear.

WARNING - Tire underin-
flation
Severe underinflation (10 psi (70
kPa) or more) can lead to severe
heat build-up, causing blowouts,
tread separation and other tire
failures that can result in the
loss of vehicle control leading
to severe injury or death. This
risk is much higher on hot days
and when driving for protracted
periods at high speeds.

Automotive readers have rated 2010 Kia Sportage Owners Manual 3.0 out of 5.0 based on 4 product reviews. I think it is good and helpful thanks
The manual and the car is good. Your web site is like your dealers. Intrustive and obnoxious. Keep it simple and butt out of my life.
Excellent manual
