• Check tire pressure when the
tires are cold. (After vehicle
has been parked for at least
three hours or hasn't been dri-

tion valve caps. Without the valve
cap, dirt or moisture could get into
the valve core and cause air leak-

install new one as soon as possible.
How to check
Use a good quality gage to check tire
pressure.You can not tell if your tires
are properly inflated simply by look-
ing at them. Radial tires may look
properly inflated even when they're
underinflated.
Check the tire's inflation pressure
when the tires are cold. - "Cold"
means your vehicle has been sitting
for at least three hours or driven no
more than 1.6 km (1 mile).

Overinflation or underinflation
can reduce tire life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and lead

result in loss of vehicle control
and potential injury..

Automotive readers have rated 2007 Kia Sportage Owners Manual 3.5 out of 5.0 based on 4 product reviews. I purchased this vehicle and needed a manual. I really can't rate what I don't have.
Haven't got it yet
it is great to have this site, thank you.
Great service. I purchased a used KIA with no manual and this answered all my questions.
Thank You
