Driving your vehicle

WARNING - ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!

Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle,

open the windows immediately.

• Do not inhale exhaust fumes.

Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death

by asphyxiation.

• Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.

The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose.

If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side

of the car, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible by an authorized KIA dealer.

• Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.

Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the

engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.

• Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.

If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an

open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn

into the interior.

If you must drive with the trunk lid open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:

1. Close all windows.

2. Open side vents.

3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher

speeds.

To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the

windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

Driving your vehicle

• Exercise extreme caution when

driving on a slippery surface. Be

especially careful when braking,

accelerating or shifting gears. On a

slippery surface, an abrupt change

in vehicle speed can cause the

drive wheels to lose traction and

the vehicle to go out of control.

Good driving practices

(Continued)

• Never take the car out of gear and

coast down a hill. This is extremely

hazardous. Always leave the car in

gear.

• The risk of rollover is greatly

increased if you lose control

of your vehicle at highway

speeds.

• Don't "ride" the brakes. This can

cause them to overheat and mal-

function. Instead, when you are

driving down a long hill, slow down

and shift to a lower gear. When you

do this, engine braking will help

slow the car.

• Loss of control often occurs if

two or more wheels drop off

the roadway and the driver

oversteers to reenter the road-

way.

WARNING

• Always buckle-up! In a colli-

sion, an unbelted occupant is

significantly more likely to be

seriously injured or killed than

a properly belted occupant.

• In the event your vehicle

leaves the roadway, do not

steer sharply. Instead, slow

down before pulling back into

the travel lanes.

• Slow down before shifting to a

lower gear. This will help avoid

over-revving the engine, which can

cause damage.

• Avoid high speeds when cor-

nering or turning.

• Never exceed posted speed

limits.

• Slow down when you encounter

cross winds. This gives you much

better control of your car.

• Do not make quick steering

wheel movements, such as

sharp lane changes or fast,

sharp turns.

• Be sure the car is completely

stopped before you attempt to shift

into reverse. The transaxle can be

damaged if you do not. To shift into

reverse, depress the clutch, move

the shift lever to neutral, wait 3 sec-

onds, then shift to the reverse posi-

tion.

depressed.

To move up a steep grade from a

standing start, depress the brake

pedal, shift the shift lever to D

(Drive). Select the appropriate gear

depending on load weight and steep-

ness of the grade, and release the

parking brake. Depress the accelera-

tor gradually while releasing the

service brakes.

To shift the transaxle from P (Park) or

N (Neutral) into R (Reverse):

1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.

2. Start the engine or turn the ignition

switch to the ON position.

OED046005

When accelerating from a stop on

a steep hill, the vehicle may have a

tendency to roll backwards.

Shifting the shift lever into 2

the car in gear when moving.

• The risk of rollover is greatly

increased if you lose control of

your vehicle at highway speeds.

• Optimum vehicle performance and

economy is obtained by smoothly

depressing and releasing the

accelerator pedal.

• Do not "ride" the brakes. This can

cause them to overheat and mal-

function. Instead, when you are driv-

ing down a long hill, slow down and

distances.

make an emergency stop with the

parking brake. The stopping dis-

tance, however, will be much greater

than normal.

In the event that the power-assisted

brakes lose power because of a

stalled engine or some other reason,

you can still stop your vehicle by

applying greater force to the brake

pedal than you normally would. The

stopping distance, however, will be

longer.

WARNING - Parking brake

• When descending a long or

steep hill, shift to a lower gear

and avoid continuous applica-

tion of the brakes. Continuous

brake application will cause

the brakes to overheat and

could result in a temporary

loss of braking performance.

Pulling the parking brake while

the vehicle is moving at normal

speeds can cause a sudden

loss of control of the vehicle. If

you must use the parking brake

to stop the vehicle, use great

caution in applying the brake.

When the engine is not running, the

reserve brake power is partially

depleted each time the brake pedal

is applied. Do not pump the brake

pedal when the power assist has

been interrupted.

Disc brakes wear indicator

(Continued)

CAUTION

Your vehicle has disc brakes.

• Wet brakes may result in the

vehicle not slowing down at

the usual rate and pulling to

one side when the brakes are

applied. Applying the brakes

lightly will indicate whether

they have been affected in this

way. Always test your brakes

in this fashion after driving

through deep water.To dry the

brakes, apply them lightly

while maintaining a safe for-

ward speed until brake per-

formance returns to normal.

To avoid costly brake repairs, do

not continue to drive with worn

brake pads.

When your brake pads are worn and

it's time for new pads, you will hear a

high-pitched warning sound from

your front brakes or rear brakes (if

equipped). You may hear this sound

come and go or it may occur when-

ever you depress the brake pedal.

WARNING - Brake wear

This brake wear warning sound

means your vehicle needs serv-

ice. If you ignore this audible

warning, you will eventually lose

braking performance, which

could lead to a serious accident.

Please remember that some driving

conditions or climates may cause a

brake squeal when you first apply (or

lightly apply) the brakes. This is nor-

mal and does not indicate a problem

with your brakes.

CAUTION

Always replace brake pads as

complete front or rear axle sets.

necessary.

Parking on curbed streets

• When parking your vehicle on an

uphill grade, park as close to the

curb as possible and turn the front

wheels away from the curb so that

the front wheels will contact the

curb if the vehicle moves back-

ward.

If at all possible, cease driving the

sible, use extreme caution while

operating the vehicle and only con-

tinue to drive the vehicle until you

can reach a safe location or repair

shop.

• When parking your vehicle on a

downhill grade, park as close to the

curb as possible and turn the front

wheels toward the curb so that the

front wheels will contact the curb if

the vehicle moves forward.

WARNING - ABS Brakes

Your ABS is not a substitute for

good driving judgement. You

can still have an accident. In

fact, your ABS system will prob-

ably not be able to prevent an

accident in the following driving

conditions:

• Always slow down when cornering.

The anti-lock brake system cannot

prevent accidents resulting from

excessive speeds.

When you apply your brakes under

conditions which may lock the

wheels, you may hear a “tik-tik’’

sound from the brakes, or feel a cor-

responding sensation in the brake

pedal. This is normal and it means

your ABS system is active.

• On loose or uneven road surfaces,

operation of the anti-lock brake

system may result in a longer stop-

ping distance than for vehicles

• Dangerous driving, such as

neglecting safety precautions,

speeding, or driving too close

to the vehicle in front of you.

In order to obtain the maximum ben-

efit from your ABS system in an

emergency situation, do not attempt

to modulate your brake pressure and

do not try to pump your brakes.

Press your brake pedal as hard as

possible or as hard as the situation

warrants and allow the ABS system

mum braking effectiveness on

typical highways and roads in

✽

NOTICE

The following symptoms may occur

during normal vehicle operation:

ꢀ The EPS warning light does not

illuminate.

Power steering uses the motor to

assist you in steering the vehicle. If

the engine is off or if the power steer-

ing system becomes inoperative, the

vehicle may still be steered, but it will

require increased steering effort.

A tilt steering wheel allows you to

adjust the steering wheel before you

drive.You can also raise it to the

highest level to give your legs more

room when you exit and enter the

vehicle.

ꢀ The steering wheel becomes heav-

ier after turning the ignition switch

on. This happens as the system

performs the EPS system diagnos-

tics. When the diagnostics is com-

pleted, the steering wheel will

return to its normal condition.

ꢀ Click noise may be heard from the

EPS relay after the ignition switch

is turned to the ON or LOCK posi-

tion.

The motor driven power steering is

controlled by power steering control

The steering wheel should be posi-

tioned so that it is comfortable for

you to drive, while permitting you to

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING

The Electronic Stability Program

(ESP) system is an electronic sys-

tem designed to help the driver main-

tain vehicle control under adverse

conditions. It is not a substitute for

safe driving practices. Factors includ-

ing speed, road conditions and driv-

er steering input can all affect

whether ESP will be effective in pre-

venting a loss of control. It is still your

responsibility to drive and corner at

reasonable speeds and to leave a

sufficient margin of safety.

Never drive too fast for the road

conditions or too quickly when

cornering. Electronic stability

program (ESP) will not prevent

accidents. Excessive speed in

turns, abrupt maneuvers and

hydroplaning on wet surfaces

can still result in serious acci-

dents. Only a safe and attentive

driver can prevent accidents by

avoiding maneuvers that cause

REAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING

Operation of the rear parking

assist system

The rear parking assist system

Operating condition

is a supplementary function

only. The operation of the rear

parking assist system can be

affected by several factors

(including environmental condi-

tions). It is the responsibility of

the driver to always check the

area behind the vehicle before

and while backing up.

• This system will activate when back-

ing up with the ignition switch ON.

If the vehicle is moving at a speed

over 5 km/h (3 mph), the system

may not be activated correctly.

• The sensing distance while the rear

parking assist system is in operation

is approximately 120 cm (47 in.).

OED046092

The rear parking assist system

assists the driver during backward

movement of the vehicle by chiming

if any object is sensed within a dis-

tance of 120 cm (47 in.) behind the

vehicle. This system is a supplemen-

tal system and it is not intended to

nor does it replace the need for

extreme care and attention of the

driver. The sensing range and

objects detectable by the back sen-

sors are limited. Whenever backing-

up, pay as much attention to what is

behind you as you would in a vehicle

without a rear parking assist system.

• When more than two objects are

sensed at the same time, the closest

one will be recognized first.

Types of warning sound

• When an object is 120 cm to 81 cm

(47 in. to 32 in.) from the rear

bumper: Buzzer beeps intermit-

tently

• When an object is 80 cm to 41 cm

(31 in. to 16 in.) from the rear

bumper: Buzzer beeps more fre-

quently

• When an object is within 40 cm (15

in.) of the rear bumper:

precautions

1. The sensor is stained with foreign

matter such as snow or water.

(The sensing range will return to

normal when removed.)

The rear parking assist system

may not operate properly when:

• The rear parking assist system

may not sound sequentially

depending on the speed and

shapes of the objects detected.

1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It

will operate normally when the

moisture has been cleared.)

2. Outside air temperature is

extremely hot or cold.

• The rear parking assist system

may malfunction if the vehicle

bumper height or sensor installa-

tion has been modified or dam-

aged. Any non-factory installed

equipment or accessories may

also interfere with the sensor per-

formance.

2. The sensor is covered with foreign

matter, such as snow or water, or

the sensor cover is blocked. (It will

operate normally when the materi-

al is removed or the sensor is no

longer blocked.)

The following objects may not be

recognized by the sensor:

1. Sharp or slim objects such as

ropes, chains or small poles.

3. Driving on uneven road surfaces

(unpaved roads, gravel, bumps,

gradient).

2. Objects which tend to absorb the

sensor frequency such as clothes,

spongy material or snow.

• The sensor may not recognize

objects less than 40 cm (15 in.)

from the sensor, or it may sense an

incorrect distance. Use caution.

4. Objects generating excessive

noise (vehicle horns, loud motor-

cycle engines, or truck air brakes)

are within range of the sensor.

3. Undetectable objects smaller than

1 m (40 in.) and narrower than 14

cm (6 in.) in diameter.

• When the sensor is frozen or

stained with snow, dirt, or water,

the sensor may be inoperative until

the stains are removed using a soft

cloth.

5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.

6. Wireless transmitters or mobile

phones are within range of the

sensor.

• Do not push, scratch or strike the

sensor. Sensor damage could

occur.

7. The sensor is covered with snow.

✽

NOTICE

WARNING

This system can only sense objects

within the range and location of the

sensors; It can not detect objects in

other areas where sensors are not

installed. Also, small or slim objects,

such as poles or objects located

between sensors may not be detected

by the sensors.

Always visually check behind the

vehicle when backing up.

Be sure to inform any drivers of the

vehicle that may be unfamiliar with

the system regarding the systems

capabilities and limitations.

If you don’t hear an audible warning

sound or if the buzzer sounds inter-

mittently when shifting the gear to

the R (Reverse) position, this may

indicate a malfunction in the rear

parking assist system. If this occurs,

have your vehicle checked by an

authorized KIA dealer as soon as

possible.

Pay close attention when the

vehicle is driven close to

objects on the road, particularly

pedestrians, and especially chil-

dren. Be aware that some

objects may not be detected by

the sensors, due to the object’s

distance, size or material, all of

which can limit the effective-

ness of the sensor. Always per-

form a visual inspection to

make sure the vehicle is clear of

all obstructions before moving

the vehicle in any direction.

Your new vehicle warranty does

not cover any accidents or dam-

age to the vehicle or its occu-

may cause engine overheating.

Continue to use the blower fan but

turn the air conditioning system

off if the temperature gauge indi-

cates engine overheating.

• If the vehicle has been parked in

tioning system.

ꢀ When opening the windows in

humid weather air conditioning

may create water droplets inside

the vehicle. Since excessive water

droplets may cause damage to
