Maintenance
567
• It is not easy to recognize the tire
damage with your own eyes. In the
event that the tire is impacted, have
the tire checked or replaced
because the tire damage may
cause air leakage from the tire.
• If the tire is damaged by driving on
a rough road, off road, pothole,
manhole, or curb stone, the dam-
age will not be covered by the war-
ranty.
• You can find out tire information on
the tire sidewall.
CAUTION
Because the sidewall of a low
aspect ratio tire is shorter than
normal, the wheel and tire of a
low aspect ratio tire is more eas-
ily damaged. Therefore, follow
the instructions below.
• When driving on a rough road
or off road, drive cautiously
because the tires and wheels
may become damaged. And
after driving, inspect the tires
and wheels.
• When passing over a pothole,
speed bump, manhole, or curb
stone, drive slowly so that the
tires and wheels are not dam-
aged.
• If the tire is impacted, we rec-
ommend that you inspect the
tire condition or contact an
authorized Kia dealer.
• To prevent damage to the tire,
inspect the tire condition and
pressure every 3,000 km
(1,900 miles ).
