• Avoid high corneringspeed.
Your vehicle is equipped wi th
tires designed to provide for
safe ride and handling capabili-
ty. Do not use asize and type of
tire and wheel that is different
from the one that is originally
installed on your vehicle. It can
affect the safety and perfor-

could lead to handling failure or
rollover and serious injury.
When replacing the tires, be
sure to equip all four tires with
the tire and wheel of the same
size, type, tread, brand and
load-carrying capacity. If you
nevertheless decide to equip
your vehicle with any tire/wheel
combination not recommended
by Kia for off road driving, you
should not use these tires for
highway driving.
While the full-time 4WD vehicle
is being raised on a jack, never
start the engine or cause the
tires to rotate.
Thereis the danger that rotating
tires touching the ground could
cause the vehicle to go off the
jack and tojump forward.
