Steps for changing a flat tire

Step 1: Deploy the emergency brake and park your car on a level surface in a manner that does not disrupt traffic.

Step 2: Remove the hubcap of your Kia vehicle.

Step 6: Place the spare tire in place and tighten the nuts.

Step 7: Remove the jack and check the nuts are tightly wound.

These 9 steps should set you up with an easy tire-changing setup that you can master in no time.
