WARNING - Wheel studs
Your vehicle has metric threads on
the wheel studs and nuts. Make cer-
tain during wheel removal that the
same nuts removed are reinstalled -
or, if replaced, that nuts with metric
threads and the same chamfer con-
figuration are used.
If the studs are damaged or if non-
metric nut is used on a metric stud
or vice versa, they may lose their
ability to retain the wheel.
This
could lead to the loss of the wheel
in a collision resulting in severe
injury or death.
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, con-
sult an authorized Kia dealer.
To prevent the jack, jack handle, wheel
lug nut wrench and spare tire from rat-
tling while the vehicle is in motion, store
them properly.
