Kia Cadenza: Changing tires / 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 - Spare tire
The compact spare tire is for
emergency use only. Do not
operate your vehicle on this
compact spare at speeds over
50 mph (80 km/h). The original
tire should be repaired or
replaced as soon as possible to
avoid failure of the spare possibly
leading to personal injury or
death.
The compact spare should be inflated
to 60 psi (420 kPa).
✽ 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 50 mph (80 km/h); 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 1
inch (25 mm), which could result in
damage to the vehicle.
- Do not take this vehicle through an
automatic vehicle wash while the
compact spare tire is installed.
- Do not use tire chains on the compact
spare tire. Because of the
smaller size, a tire chain will not fit
properly. This could damage the
vehicle and result in loss of the
chain.
- 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 vehicle 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.
