Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is recommended that the tires
be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles), or sooner if
irregular wear develops.
✻ ✻
NOTICE
• Warm tires normally exceed recommended
cold tire pressures by 28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi).
Do not release air from warm tires to adjust the
pressure. The tires will become underinflated
when cold.
• Underinflation results in excessive wear, poor
handling, reduced fuel economy, and the
possibility of blowouts from overheated tires.
Also, low tire pressure can cause poor sealing
of the tire bead. If the tire pressure is
excessively low, wheel deformation and/or tire
separation are possible. Keep tire pressures at
the proper levels. If a tire frequently needs
refilling, have it checked by an authorized Kia
dealer or a tire shop.
• Overinflation produces a harsh ride, handling
problems, excessive wear at the center of the
tire tread, and a greater possibility of damage
from road hazards.
WARNING -Tire Inflation
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.
