Tyre replacement
If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread
wear indicator will appear as a solid
band across the tread. This shows
there is less than 1.6 mm (1/16 in.) of
tread left on the tyre. Replace the
tyre when this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tyre.

NOTICE
We recommend that when replacing
tyres, use the same originally sup-
plied with the vehicles.
If not, that affects driving perform-
ance.

WARNING - Replacing
tyres
• Driving on worn-out tyres is
very hazardous and will
reduce braking effectiveness,
steering accuracy, and trac-
tion.
• Your vehicle is equipped with
tyres designed to provide for
safe ride and handling capa-
bility. Do not use a size and
type of tyre and wheel that is
different from the one that is
originally installed on your
vehicle. It can affect the safety
and performance of your vehi-
cle, which could lead to han-
dling failure or rollover and
serious injury. When replacing
the tyres, be sure to equip all
four tyres with the tyre and
wheel of the same size, type,
tread, brand and load-carrying
capacity.

CAUTION
When replacing the tyres,
recheck and tighten the wheel
nuts after driving about 50 km
(31 miles) and recheck after
driving about 1,000 km (620
miles). If the steering wheel
shakes or the vehicle vibrates
whilst driving, the tyre is out of
balance. Align the tyre balance.
If the problem is not solved,
contact a professional work-
shop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
