Tire care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tire
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribu
-
tion recommended for your vehicle.
Recommended cold tire inflation
pressures
All tire pressures (including the
spare) should be checked when the
tires are cold. 䳖Cold Tires䳗 means the
vehicle has not been driven for at
least three hours or driven less than
1.6 km (one mile).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, top
vehicle handling, and minimum tire
wear.
For recommended inflation pres
-
sure, refer to "Tires and wheels
(Wagon)" on page 9-4, "Tires and
wheels (CUV)" on page 9-4.
All specifications (sizes and pres
-
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the vehicle.
Tire underinflation
Severe underinflation (70 kPa (10
psi) 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 long
periods at high speeds.
䳜 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 the system checked
by a professional workshop. Kia
