potentially dangerous static  
electricity discharge by touch-  
ing another metal part of the  
vehicle, a safe distance away  
from the fuel filler neck, noz-  
zle, or other gas source.  
When using an approved portable

the container on the ground prior  
to refueling. Static electricity dis-

ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.  
Once refueling has begun, con-

Tighten the cap until it clicks one time,  
otherwise the fuel cap open warning

• Do not get back into a vehicle  
once you have begun refuel-

static electricity by touching,  
rubbing or sliding against any  
item or fabric (polyester, satin,

Do not use cellular phones while  
refueling. Electric current and/or  
electronic interference from cel-

ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.  
Read and follow all warnings  
posted at the gas station facili-

the equivalent specified for your vehi-  
cle. An incorrect fuel filler cap can  
result in a serious malfunction of the  
fuel system or emission control sys-  
tem.  
When refueling, always shut the  
engine off. Sparks produced by  
electrical components related  
to the engine can ignite fuel  
vapors, causing a fire. Once  
refueling is complete, check to  
make sure the filler cap and  
filler door are securely closed,  
before starting the engine.  
CAUTION - Exterior paint  
Do not spill fuel on the exterior  
surfaces of the vehicle. Any  
type of fuel spilled on painted

Never adjust the sunroof or  
sunshade while driving. This  
could result in loss of control  
and an accident that may cause  
death, serious injury, or proper-  
ty damage.  
If your vehicle is equipped with a  
sunroof, you can slide or tilt your  
sunroof with the sunroof control lever  
located on the overhead console.  
Do not continue to press the  
sunroof control lever after the  
sunroof is fully opened, closed,

To stop the sunroof sliding at any  
point, pull or push the sunroof control  
lever briefly.  
While driving with the sunroof in an  
open (or partially open position),  
your vehicle may demonstrate a wind  
buffeting or pulsation noise. This

• Be careful that no head, hands  
and body parts are obstructed  
by a closing sunroof.  
• Do not extend the face, neck,

STEERING WHEEL  
(Continued)  
Electric power steering (EPS)  
✽
NOTICE  
The following symptoms may occur  
during normal vehicle operation:  
•
When the charging system warn-  
ing light comes on or the battery  
voltage is low (when the alternator  
or battery does not operate nor-  
mally), the steering wheel may get  
heavy and become difficult to con-  
trol or operate abnormally.  
Power steering uses a 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.  
•
The steering effort is increased  
immediately after turning the igni-  
tion switch on. This happens as the  
system performs the EPS system  
diagnostics. When the diagnostics  
are completed, the steering wheel  
will return to its normal condition  
A click noise may be heard from  
the EPS relay after the ignition  
switch is turned to the ON or  
LOCK position.  
Motor noise may be heard when  
the vehicle is at a stop or at a low  
driving speed.  
The steering effort increases if the  
steering wheel is rotated continu-  
ously when the vehicle is not in  
motion. However, after a few min-  
utes, it will return to its normal  
condition.  
The electric power steering is con-  
trolled by the power steering control  
unit which senses the steering wheel  
torque and vehicle speed to com-  
mand the motor.  
If the Electric Power Steering System  
does not operate normally, the warn-  
ing light will illuminate on the instru-  
ment cluster.The steering wheel may  
require increased steering effort.  
Take your vehicle to an authorized  
Kia dealer and have the vehicle  
checked as soon as possible.  
•
The steering wheel becomes heavier  
as the vehicle’s speed increases and  
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s  
speed decreases for better control of  
the steering wheel.  
•
•
Should you notice any change in the  
effort required to steer during normal  
vehicle operation, have the power  
steering checked by an authorized  
Kia dealer.  
•
When you operate the steering  
wheel in low temperature, noise  
may occur. If the temperature  
rises, the noise will likely disap-  
pear. This is a normal condition.

Tilt steering allows you to adjust the  
steering wheel before you drive. You  
can also raise it to give your legs  
more room when you exit and enter  
the vehicle.  
The steering wheel should be posi-

To change the steering wheel angle,  
pull down the lock release lever (1),  
adjust the steering wheel to the  
desired angle (2) and height (3), then  
pull up the lock-release lever to lock  
(4) the steering wheel in place. Be  
sure to adjust the steering wheel to  
the desired position before driving.

✽
NOTICE  
To sound the horn, press the area  
indicated by the horn symbol on  
your steering wheel (see illustra-  
tion). The horn will operate only  
when this area is pressed.  
✽
NOTICE  
After adjustment, sometimes the

not engaged correctly. In this case,  
adjust the steering wheel again and  
then lock the steering wheel.

The heated steering wheel may  
cause burns even at low tem-  
peratures, especially if used for  
long periods of time.  
CAUTION  
• Do not install any grip to oper-  
ate the steering wheel. This  
causes damage to the heated

• When cleaning the heated  
steering wheel, do not use an  
organic solvent such as paint  
thinner, benzene, alcohol or  
gasoline. Doing so may dam-  
age the surface of the steering  
wheel.

could occur.  
To turn the heated steering wheel off,  
press the button once again. The  
indicator on the button will turn off.

cially a child, might be behind  
you.  
Always keep the camera lens clean. If

Kia Air Conditioning Systems are  
filled with R-1234yf refrigerant.  
When opening the windows in humid  
weather, air conditioning may create  
water droplets inside the vehicle.  
Since excessive water droplets may  
cause damage to electrical equip-  
ment, air conditioning should only be  
used with the windows closed.  
1. Start the engine. Push the air con-  
ditioning button.  
2. Set the mode to the  
position.  
3. Set the air intake control to the  
recirculated air position. However,  
prolonged operation in the recircu-  
lated air position will excessively  
dry the air. In this case, change the  
air position.  
CAUTION - Excessive A/C  
While using the air conditioning  
system, monitor the tempera-  
ture gauge closely while driving  
up hills or in heavy traffic when  
outside temperatures are high.  
Air conditioning system opera-  
tion may cause engine over-  
heating and potential engine  
damage. Continue to use the  
blower fan but turn the air con-  
ditioning system off if the tem-  
perature gauge indicates engine  
overheating.

temperature control to maintain  
maximum comfort.  
• The refrigerant system should only  
be serviced by trained and certified

The climate control air filter installed  
behind the glove box filters the dust or  
other pollutants that come into the  
vehicle from the outside through the  
heating and air conditioning system. If  
dust or other pollutants accumulate in  
the filter over a period of time, the air  
flow from the air vents may decrease,  
resulting in moisture accumulation on  
the inside of the windshield even  
when the outside (fresh) air position is  
selected. If this happens, have the cli-  
mate control air filter replaced by an  
authorized Kia dealer.  
• Use the air conditioning system  
every month for a few minutes to  
ensure maximum system perform-

• When using the air conditioning  
system, you may notice clear water  
dripping (or even puddling) on the
