10. Remove the lug nuts by turning them
counterclockwise, then remove the
wheel.
11. Mount the spare tire into position and
tighten the nuts by hand. Install the
lug nuts with the beveled edge
inward.
12. Turn the jack handle counterclockwise
and lower the vehicle until it touches
the ground.
Tighten the lug nuts firmly in an “X”
pattern.
Once the lug nuts have been tightened,
lower the vehicle fully to the ground and
continue to tighten the lug nuts until they
are completely secured.
If you are unsure of the tightness of the
wheel lug nuts, have them checked at the
nearest service station. The specified
tightening torque is 76 ft. lb (103 N·m).

CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on
the wheel studs and nuts. During
wheel removal, make certain that
the same nuts removed are
reinstalled - or, if replaced, that
nuts with metric threads and the
same configuration are used.
Installation of a non-metric thread
nut on a metric stud or vice-versa
will not secure the wheel to the hub
properly and will damage the stud
so that it must be replaced. Note
that most U.S. lug nuts do not have
metric threads. Be sure to use
extreme care in checking for thread
style before installing aftermarket
lug nuts or wheels. If in doubt,
consult an Authorized Kia Dealer.
Damaged studs may result in wheel
loss and personal injury.
