Kia Optima DL3: Specifications & Consumer information /
CAUTION
When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can damage the related parts or make them work irregularly.
✽ NOTICE
- It is permissible to add 21 kPa (3 psi) to the standard tire pressure
specification if colder temperatures are expected soon. Tires typically loose
7 kPa (1 psi) for every -11°C (12°F) temperature drop. If extreme temperature
variations are expected, re-check your tire pressure as necessary to keep them
properly inflated.
- We recommend that when replacing tires, use the same originally supplied
with the vehicles. If not, that affects driving performance.
- When driving in high altitude grades, it is natural for the atmospheric
pressure to decrease. Therefore, please check the tire pressure and add more
air when necessary. Additionally required tire air pressure per km above sea
level: 10.5 kPa (1.5 psi)/km

Description and operation
Description
The A/C Pressure Transducer (APT) converts the pressure value of high pressure
line into voltage value after measuring it. By converted voltage value, engine ECU
controls the cooling fan by operating it high speed or low speed.
Description and operation
Description
The ambient temperature sensor is located at the front of the condenser and detects
ambient air temperature. It is a negative type thermistor; resistance will increase
with lower temperature, and decrease with higher temperature.
