Tachometer (if equipped)

D150201AUN

The tachometer indicates the approxi-

mate number of engine revolutions per

minute (rpm).

Speedometer

The speedometer indicates the forward speed of the vehicle.

The speedometer is calibrated in kilometers per hour and/or miles per hour.

Use the tachometer to select the correct

shift points and to prevent lugging and/or

over-revving the engine.

When the door is open, or if the engine is

not started within 1 minute, the tachome-

ter pointer may move slightly to the ON

position with the engine OFF. This move-

ment is normal and will not affect the

accuracy of the tachometer once the

engine is running.

CAUTION

Fuel gauge

Avoid driving with a very low fuel

level. If you run out of fuel, it could

cause the engine to misfire and

result in excessive loading of the

catalytic converter.

The fuel gauge indicates the approxi-

mate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel

tank. The fuel tank capacity is given in sec-

tion 8. The fuel gauge is supplemented by

a low fuel warning light, which will illumi-

nate when the fuel tank is near empty.

On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge

pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel

warning light may come on earlier than

usual due to the movement of fuel in the

tank.

CAUTION

Do not operate the engine within

the tachometer's RED ZONE.

This may cause severe engine dam-

age.

WARNING - Fuel gauge

Running out of fuel can expose

vehicle occupants to danger.

You must stop and obtain addition-

al fuel as soon as possible after the

warning light comes on or when the

gauge indicator comes close to the

E level.

Red

Engine temperature

indicator

Air bag warning light

(if equipped)

Warnings and indicators

All warning lights are checked by turning

the ignition switch ON (do not start the

engine). Any light that does not illuminate

should be checked by an authorized KIA

dealer.

The indicator shows the temperature of

the engine coolant when the ignition

switch is ON.

This warning light will illuminate for

approximately 6 seconds each time you

turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-

tion.

The red indicator illuminates if the tem-

perature of the engine coolant is above

120 3°C (248 5.5°F).

After starting the engine, check to make

sure that all warning lights are off. If any

are still on, this indicates a situation that

needs attention. When releasing the

parking brake, the brake system warning

light should go off. The fuel warning light

will stay on if the fuel level is low.

This light also comes on when the

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is

not working properly. If the air bag warn-

ing light does not come on, or continu-

ously remains on after operating for

about 6 seconds when you turned the

ignition switch to the ON position or start-

ed the engine, or if it comes on while

driving, have the SRS inspected by an

authorized KIA dealer.

Do not continue driving with an overheat-

ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer

to “Overheating” in the Index.

✽

NOTICE

If the red engine temperature indicator

illuminates, it indicates overheating that

may damage the engine.

cator illuminates for about 4 seconds

after the ignition switch is turned to the

ON position.

This light illuminates if the ignition switch

is turned ON and goes off in approxi-

mately 3 seconds if the system is operat-

ing normally.

In this case, your ABS and regular brake

system may not work normally. Have the

vehicle checked by an authorized KIA

dealer as soon as possible.

The passenger’s front air bag OFF indi-

cator also comes on when the passen-

ger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch is set

to the OFF position and turns off when

the passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF

switch is set to the ON position.

If the ABS warning light remains on or

comes on while driving or does not come

on when the ignition switch is turned to

the ON position, this indicates that there

may be a malfunction with the ABS.

If this occurs, have your vehicle checked

by an authorized KIA dealer as soon as

possible. The normal braking system will

still be operational, but without the assis-

tance of the anti-lock brake system.

WARNING

If the both ABS and brake warning

lights are on and stay on, your vehi-

cle’s brake system will not work

normally during sudden braking. In

this case, avoid high speed driving

and abrupt braking. Have your vehi-

cle checked by an authorized KIA

dealer as soon as possible.

CAUTION

If there is a malfunction of the pas-

senger’s front air bag ON/OFF

switch, the passenger’s front air

bag OFF indicator will not illumi-

nate and the passenger’s front air

bag will inflate in frontal impact

crashes even if the passenger’s

front air bag ON/OFF switch is set

to the OFF position.

If this occurs, have an authorized

KIA dealer inspect the passenger’s

front air bag ON/OFF switch and the

SRS air bag system as soon as pos-

sible.
