To activate the immobilizer system:

Immobilizer system (if equipped)

WARNING - Ignition key

Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.

The immobilizer system activates auto-

matically. Without a valid ignition key for

your vehicle, the engine will not start.

Leaving children unattended in a

vehicle with the ignition key is dan-

gerous even if the key is not in the

ignition switch. Children copy

adults and they could place the key

in the ignition switch. The ignition

key would enable children to oper-

ate power windows or other con-

trols, or even make the vehicle

move, which could result in serious

bodily injury or even death. Never

leave the keys in your vehicle with

unsupervised children.

Your vehicle may be equipped with an

electronic engine immobilizer system to

reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle

use.

Your immobilizer system is comprised of

a small transponder in the ignition key

and electronic devices inside the vehicle.

With the immobilizer system, whenever

you insert your ignition key into the igni-

tion switch and turn it to ON, it checks

and determines and verifies that the igni-

tion key is valid.

If the key is determined to be valid, the

engine will start.

To deactivate the immobilizer sys-

tem:

Insert the ignition key into the key cylin-

der and turn it to the ON position.

WARNING

In order to prevent theft of your

vehicle, do not leave spare keys or

your key number anywhere in the

vehicle. The ignition key and key

number are unique to your vehicle,

and therefore, should be kept confi-

dential.

If the key is determined to be invalid, the

engine will not start.

WARNING

Use only Kia original parts for the

ignition key in your vehicle. If an

aftermarket key is used, the ignition

switch may not return to ON after

START. If this happens, the starter

will continue to operate causing

damage to the starter motor and

possible fire due to excessive cur-

rent in the wiring.

filler cap and filler door are

securely closed, before starting

the engine.

• DO NOT use matches or a lighter

and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit

cigarette in your vehicle while at

a gas station especially during

refueling. Automotive fuel is

highly flammable and can, when

ignited, result in fire.

• Do not get back into a vehicle

once you have begun refueling

since you can generate static

electricity by touching, rubbing

or sliding against any item or fab-

ric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)

capable of producing static elec-

tricity. Static electricity discharge

can ignite fuel vapors resulting in

rapid burning. If you must re-

enter the vehicle, you should

once again eliminate potentially

dangerous static electricity dis-

charge by touching a metal part

of the vehicle, away from the fuel

filler neck, nozzle or other gaso-

line source.

Automotive fuels are flammable

materials. When refueling, please

note the following guidelines care-

fully. Failure to follow these guide-

lines may result in severe personal

injury, severe burns or death by fire

or explosion.

• Read and follow all warnings

posted at the gas station facility.

• Before refueling, note the loca-

tion of the Emergency Gasoline

Shut-Off, if available, at the gas

station facility.

• Before touching the fuel nozzle,

you should eliminate potentially

dangerous static electricity dis-

charge by touching another metal

part of the vehicle, a safe dis-

tance away from the fuel filler

neck, nozzle, or other gas source.

• When

using

an

approved

portable fuel container, be sure to

place the container on the

ground prior to refueling. Static

electricity discharge from the

container can ignite fuel vapors

causing a fire. Once refueling has

begun, contact with the vehicle

STEERING WHEEL

Electric power steering

✽

NOTICE

CAUTION

Power steering uses the motor to assist

you in steering the vehicle. If the engine

is off or if the power steering system

becomes inoperative, the vehicle may

still be steered, but it will require

increased steering effort.

The motor driven power steering is con-

trolled by the power steering control unit

which senses the steering wheel torque

and vehicle speed to command the

motor.

The following symptoms may occur dur-

ing normal vehicle operation:

• The EPS warning light does not illu-

minate.

• The steering effort is high immediate-

ly after turning the ignition switch on.

This happens as the system performs

the EPS system diagnostics. When the

diagnostics is completed, the steering

wheel will return to its normal condi-

tion.

If the EPS system does not operate

normally, the warning light will illu-

minate on the instrument cluster.

The steering wheel may become

difficult to control or operate abnor-

mally. Take your vehicle to an

authorized Kia dealer and have the

vehicle checked as soon as possi-

ble.

• 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 can suddenly

increase, if the operation of the EPS

system is stopped to prevent serious

accidents when it detects malfunction

of the EPS system by self-diagnosis.

• The steering effort increases if the

steering wheel is rotated continuously

when the vehicle is not in motion.

However, after a few minutes, it will

return to its normal conditions.

• When you operate the steering wheel

in low temperature, abnormal noise

could occur. If temperature rises, the

noise will disappear. This is a normal

condition.

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 steer-

ing wheel.

Should you notice any change in the

effort required to steer during normal

vehicle operation, have the power steer-

ing checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

Electrochromic Mirror (ECM)

(if equipped)

Inside rearview mirror

Adjust the rearview mirror so that the

center view through the rear window is

seen. Make this adjustment before you

start driving.

The electric rearview mirror automatical-

ly controls the glare from the headlights

of the vehicles behind you in nighttime or

low light driving conditions. The sensor

mounted in the mirror senses the light

level around the vehicle, and automati-

cally controls the headlight glare from the

vehicles behind you.

WARNING - Rear visibility

Do not place objects in the rear

seat or cargo area which would

interfere with your vision through

the rear window.

Day/night rearview mirror

(if equipped)

Make this adjustment before you start

driving and while the day/night lever is in

the day position.

Pull the day/night lever toward you to

reduce the glare from the headlights of

the vehicles behind you during night driv-

ing.

Remember that you lose some rearview

clarity in the night position.

WARNING

Do not adjust the rearview mirror

while the vehicle is moving. This

could result in loss of control, and

an accident which could cause

death, serious injury or property

damage.

CAUTION

When cleaning the mirror, use a

paper towel or similar material

dampened with glass cleaner. Do

not spray glass cleaner directly on

the mirror. It may cause the liquid

cleaner to enter the mirror housing.

WARNING

Do not modify the inside mirror and

don’t install a wide mirror. It could

result in injury, during an accident

or deployment of the air bag.

System, you may be operating a

garage door or gate operator.

Make sure that people and objects

are out of the way of the moving

door or gate to prevent potential

harm or damage.

• Do not use HomeLink with any

garage door opener that lacks the

safety stop and reverse feature

as required by federal safety

standards. (This includes any

garage door opener model manu-

factured before April 1, 1982.) A

garage door opener which cannot

detect an object, signaling the

door to stop and reverse, does

not meet current federal safety

standards. Using a garage door

opener without these features

increases risk of serious injury or

death. For more information, call

1-800-355-3515 or on the internet

at .

(if equipped)

If the oil pressure warning light

stays on while the engine is run-

ning, serious engine damage may

result. The oil pressure warning

light comes on whenever there is

insufficient oil pressure. In normal

operation, it should come on when

the ignition switch is turned on,

then go out when the engine is

started. If the oil pressure warning

light stays on while the engine is

running, there is a serious malfunc-

tion.

If this happens, stop the vehicle as

soon as it is safe to do so, turn off

the engine and check the oil level. If

the oil level is low, fill the engine oil

to the proper level and start the

engine again. If the light stays on

with the engine running, turn the

engine off immediately. In any

instance where the oil light stays on

when the engine is running, the

engine should be checked by an

authorized Kia dealer before the

vehicle is driven again.

The blinking green arrows on the instru-

ment panel show the direction indicated

by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on

but does not blink, blinks more rapidly

than normal, or does not illuminate at all,

it indicates a malfunction in the turn sig-

nal system.You should consult your deal-

er for repairs.

Your vehicle is equipped with dual-diago-

nal braking systems. This means you still

have braking on two wheels even if one

of the dual systems should fail. With only

one of the dual systems working, more

than normal pedal travel and greater

pedal pressure are required to stop the

vehicle. Also, the vehicle will not stop in

as short a distance with only a portion of

the brake system working. If the brakes

fail while you are driving, shift to a lower

REAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING

The rear parking assist system is a

supplementary function only. The

operation of the rear parking assist

system can be affected by several

factors (including environmental

conditions). It is the responsibility

of the driver to always check the

area behind the vehicle before and

while backing up.

Sensors

OSL040050

OSL040051N

The rear parking assist system assists

the driver during backward movement of

the vehicle by chiming if any object is

sensed within a distance of 120 cm (47

in.) behind the vehicle.

This system is a supplemental 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.

Operation of the rear parking

assist system

Operating condition

• This system will activate when backing

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.

• This system will activate when the indi-

cator on the rear parking assist OFF

button is not illuminated. If you desire

to deactivate the rear parking assist

system, press the rear parking assist

OFF button. (The indicator on the but-

ton will illuminate.) To turn the system

on, press the button again. (The indi-

cator on the button will go off.)

4 63

Downloaded from manuals search engine

Features of your vehicle

• The sensing distance while the rear

parking assist system is in operation is

approximately 120 cm (47 in.).

• When more than two objects are

sensed at the same time, the closest

one will be recognized first.

The detecting range may decrease

when:

1. The sensor is stained with foreign mat-

ter such as snow or water. (The sens-

ing range will return to normal when

removed.)

Non-operational conditions of

rear parking assist system

The rear parking assist system may

not operate properly when:

1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It will

operate normally when the moisture

has been cleared.)

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 material is removed

or the sensor is no longer blocked.)

3. Driving on uneven road surfaces

(unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, gradi-

ent).

4. Objects generating excessive noise

(vehicle horns, loud motorcycle

engines, or truck air brakes) are within

range of the sensor.

2. Outside air temperature is extremely

hot or cold.

Types of warning sound

• When an object is 120 cm to 81 cm (47

in. to 32 in.) from the rear bumper:

Buzzer beeps intermittently.

• When an object is 80 cm to 41 cm (31

in. to 16 in.) from the rear bumper:

Buzzer beeps more frequently.

• When an object is within 40 cm (15 in.)

of the rear bumper:

Buzzer sounds continuously.

The following objects may not be rec-

ognized by the sensor:

1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes,

chains or small poles.

2. Objects which tend to absorb the sen-

sor frequency such as clothes, spongy

material or snow.

3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m

(40 in.) in height and narrower than 14

cm (6 in.) in diameter.

5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.

6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones

are within range of the sensor.

7. The sensor is covered with snow.

8. Trailer towing

cautions

• The rear parking assist system may

not sound consistently depending on

the speed and shapes of the objects

detected.

• The rear parking assist system may

malfunction if the vehicle bumper

height or sensor installation has been

modified or damaged. Any non-factory

installed equipment or accessories

may also interfere with the sensor per-

formance.

• The sensor may not recognize objects

less than 40 cm (15 in.) from the sen-

sor, or it may sense an incorrect dis-

tance. Use caution.

Self-diagnosis

✽

NOTICE

This system can only sense objects with-

in 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 vehi-

cle when backing up.

Be sure to inform any drivers of the

vehicle that may be unfamiliar with the

system regarding the systems capabili-

ties and limitations.

If you don’t hear an audible warning

sound or if the buzzer sounds intermit-

tently when shifting the gear to the R

(Reverse) position, this may indicate a

malfunction in the rear parking assist sys-

tem. If this occurs, have your vehicle

checked by an authorized Kia dealer as

soon as possible.

WARNING

Your new vehicle warranty does not

cover any accidents or damage to

the vehicle or injuries to its occu-

pants due to a rear parking assist

system malfunction. Always drive

safely and cautiously.

WARNING

Pay close attention when the vehi-

cle is driven close to objects on the

road, particularly pedestrians, and

especially children. 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 effectiveness of

the sensor. Always perform a visu-

al inspection to make sure the vehi-

cle is clear of all obstructions

before moving the vehicle in any

direction.

• 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.

• Do not push, scratch or strike the sen-

sor. Sensor damage could occur.

Air conditioning system operation tips

• When using the air conditioning sys-

tem, you may notice clear water drip-

ping (or even puddling) on the ground

under the passenger side of the vehi-

cle. This is a normal system operation

characteristic.

• Operating the air conditioning system

in the recirculated air position provides

maximum cooling, however, continual

operation in this mode may cause the

air inside the vehicle to become stale.

• During cooling operation, you may

occasionally notice a misty air flow

because of rapid cooling and humid air

intake. This is a normal system opera-

tion characteristic.

✽

NOTICE

• If the vehicle has been parked in direct

sunlight during hot weather, open the

windows for a short time to let the hot

air inside the vehicle escape.

• To help reduce moisture inside of the

windows on rainy or humid days,

decrease the humidity inside the vehi-

cle by operating the air conditioning

system.

• During air conditioning system opera-

tion, you may occasionally notice a

slight change in engine speed as the

air conditioning compressor cycles.

This is a normal system operation

characteristic.

• Use the air conditioning system every

month only for a few minutes to ensure

maximum system performance.

• When using the air conditioning sys-

tem, monitor the temperature gauge

closely while driving up hills or in

heavy traffic when outside tempera-

tures are high. Air conditioning sys-

tem operation may cause engine over-

heating. Continue to use the blower

fan but turn the air conditioning sys-

tem off if the temperature gauge indi-

cates engine overheating.

• 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 equipment,

air conditioning should only be used

with the windows closed.

AM broadcasts can be received at

greater distances than FM broadcasts.

This is because AM radio waves are

transmitted at low frequencies. These

long, low frequency radio waves can fol-

low the curvature of the earth rather than

travelling straight out into the atmos-

phere. In addition, they curve around

obstructions so that they can provide bet-

ter signal coverage.

If your vehicle has an aux and/or

How vehicle audio works

AM and FM radio signals are broadcast

from transmitter towers located around

your city. They are intercepted by the

radio antenna on your vehicle.This signal

is then received by the radio and sent to

your vehicle speakers.

When a strong radio signal has reached

your vehicle, the precise engineering of

your audio system ensures the best pos-

sible quality reproduction. However, in

some cases the signal coming to your

vehicle may not be strong and clear. This

can be due to factors such as the dis-

tance from the radio station, closeness of

other strong radio stations or the pres-

ence of buildings, bridges or other large

obstructions in the area.

When using a portable audio device

FM radio station

JBM003

JBM004

JBM005

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high

frequencies and do not bend to follow the

earth's surface. Because of this, FM

broadcasts generally begin to fade at

short distances from the station.

Also, FM signals are easily affected by

buildings, mountains, or other obstruc-

tions.These can result in certain listening

conditions which might lead you to

believe a problem exists with your radio.

The following conditions are normal and

do not indicate radio trouble:

• Fading - As your vehicle moves away

from the radio station, the signal will

weaken and sound will begin to fade.

When this occurs, we suggest that you

select another stronger station.

• Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or

large obstructions between the trans-

mitter and your radio can disturb the

signal causing static or fluttering nois-

es to occur. Reducing the treble level

may lessen this effect until the distur-

bance clears.

• Station Swapping - As a FM signal

weakens, another more powerful sig-

nal near the same frequency may

begin to play. This is because your

radio is designed to lock onto the clear-

est signal. If this occurs, select another

station with a stronger signal.

• Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals

being received from several directions

can cause distortion or fluttering. This

can be caused by a direct and reflect-

ed signal from the same station, or by

signals from two stations with close

frequencies. If this occurs, select

another station until the condition has

passed.
