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.
Overinflation   produces  a   harsh
ride, excessive  wear  at the  center
of  the  tire   tread,  and  a  greater
possibility  of  damage  from  road
hazards.

Inflation pressures
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 driv-     sures)   can  be   found  on   a   label
en 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.
