Kia Sportage: Important - use of compact spare tire
Your vehicle is equipped with a compact spare tire. This compact spare tire takes
up less space than a regular- size tire. This tire is smaller than a conventional
tire and is designed for temporary use only.
- You should drive carefully when the compact spare is in use. The compact
spare should be replaced by the proper conventional tire and rim at the first
opportunity.
- The operation of this vehicle is not recommended with more than one compact
spare tire in use at the same time.
WARNING
The compact spare tire is for emergency use only. Do not operate your vehicle
on this compact spare at speeds over 80 km/h (50 mph). The original tire should
be repaired or replaced as soon as is possible to avoid failure of the spare possibly
leading to personal injury or death.
The compact spare should be inflated to 420 kPa (60 psi).
✽ NOTICE
Check the inflation pressure after installing the spare tire. Adjust it to
the specified pressure, as necessary.
When using a compact spare tire, observe the following precautions:
- Under no circumstances should you exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a higher speed
could damage the tire.
- Ensure that you drive slowly enough for the road conditions to avoid all
hazards. Any road hazard, such as a pothole or debris, could seriously damage
the compact spare.
- Any continuous road use of this tire could result in tire failure, loss
of vehicle control, and possible personal injury.
- Do not exceed the vehicle’s maximum load rating or the load-carrying capacity
shown on the sidewall of the compact spare tire.
- Avoid driving over obstacles. The compact spare tire diameter is smaller
than the diameter of a conventional tire and reduces the ground clearance approximately
25 mm (1 inch), which could result in damage to the vehicle.
- Do not take this vehicle through an automatic car wash while the compact
spare tire is installed.
- Do not use the compact spare tire on any other vehicle because this tire
has been designed especially for your vehicle.
- The compact spare tire’s tread life is shorter than a regular tire. Inspect
your compact spare tire regularly and replace worn compact spare tires with
the same size and design, mounted on the same wheel.
- The compact spare tire should not be used on any other wheels, nor should
standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings be used with the compact
spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage to these items or other car components
may occur.
- Do not use more than one compact spare tire at a time.
- Do not tow a trailer while the compact spare tire is installed.
