12. Turn the jack handle and lower the
vehicle to the ground. Tighten the lug
nuts firmly in a X pattern.
If you are unsure of the tightness of
the lug nuts, have them checked at the
nearest service station. The specified
tightening torque is 9.0 to 12.0 m-kg
(65 to 87 ft-lb, 90 to 120 N-m).
13. Place the displaced wheel in the lug-
gage compartment.
Have the flat tyre repaired as soon as
possible.
WARNING!
Your vehicle has metric threads on
the wheel studs and nuts. Make
certain during wheel removal that
the same nuts removed are rein-
stalled or that replacement nuts
have metric threads and the same
chamfer configuration. Installation
of a non-metric thread nut on a
metric stud or vice versa will not
properly secure the wheel to the
hub and will damage the stud so
that it must be replaced. Note that
many Lug nuts do not have metric
threads. Be sure to use extreme
care when checking for thread
style before Installing after market
lug nuts or wheels. If in doubt con-
sult an authorized Kia Dealer.
Damaged studs may result in
wheel loss and personal injury.
