NOTICE
Checking tire inflation pres-
sure
WARNING - Tire Inflation
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 pos-
sibility of  damage from road  haz-
ards.
Overinflation  or   underinflation
can  reduce  tire  life,   adversely
affect vehicle handling, and lead
to sudden tire failure.This could
result in  loss of  vehicle control
and potential injury.
Check  your  tires  once  a  month  or
more.
Also, check  the  tire pressure  of the
spare tire.
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).
WARNING - Tire pressure
Always observe the following:
Check tire  pressure when  the
tires  are  cold.  (After   vehicle
has  been  parked for  at  least
three   hours  or   hasn't  been
driven more  than 1.6 km  (one
mile) since startup.)
Check  the   pressure  of  your
spare tire each time you check
the pressure of other tires.
Never  overload  your  vehicle.
Be  careful  not  to overload  a
vehicle  luggage  rack  if   your
vehicle is equipped with one.
Worn, old tires can cause acci-
dents.  If  your  tread  is  badly
worn,  or   if  your   tires   have
been damaged, replace them.
NOTICE
Warm  tires normally  exceed  rec-
ommended  cold tire  pressures by
28
to 41  kPa  (4 to  6 psi).  Do  not
release  air   from  warm   tires   to
adjust the pressure or the tires will
be underinflated.
Be sure  to  reinstall the  tire infla-
tion valve caps.  Without the valve
cap, dirt or moisture could get into
the valve  core and cause  air leak-
age.  If   a   valve  cap   is  missing,
install a new  one as soon as  possi-
ble.
