zle, you should eliminate

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.

• 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

fabric (polyester, satin, nylon,

etc.) capable of producing stat-

ic electricity. Static electricity

discharge can ignite fuel

vapors resulting in rapid burn-

ing. If you must reenter the

vehicle, you should once again

eliminate potentially danger-

ous static electricity discharge

by touching a metal part of the

vehicle, away from the fuel filler

neck, nozzle or other gasoline

source.

When using an approved portable

fuel container, be sure to place

the container on the ground prior

to refueling. Static electricity dis-

charge from the container can

ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.

Once refueling has begun, con-

tact with the vehicle should be

maintained until the filling is com-

plete. Use only approved portable

plastic fuel containers designed

to carry and store gasoline.

WARNING - Refueling &

Vehicle fires

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.

WARNING - Cell phone

fires

Do not use cellular phones

while refueling. Electric current

and/or electronic interference

from cellular phones can poten-

tially ignite fuel vapors causing

a fire.

Features of your vehicle

Make sure to refuel your vehicle

according to the “Fuel requirements”

suggested in chapter 1.

If the fuel filler cap requires replace-

ment, use only a genuine Kia cap or

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.

CAUTION - Exterior paint

Do not spill fuel on the exterior

surfaces of the vehicle. Any

type of fuel spilled on painted

surfaces may damage the paint.

STEERING WHEEL

• If the Electronic Power Steering

System does not operate normally,

the warning light will illuminate on

the instrument 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.

• When you operate the steering

wheel in low temperature, the steer-

ing effort may be high or abnormal

noise may occur. If temperature

rises, the noise will likely disappear.

This is a normal condition.

• When the vehicle is stationary, and

the steering wheel is turned all the

way to the left or right continuous-

ly, the steering wheel becomes

harder to turn. The power assist is

limited to protect the motor from

overheating.

Electronic power steering

(EPS)

✽

NOTICE

The following symptoms may occur

during normal vehicle operation:

• The EPS warning light does not

illuminate.

The 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.

Electronic power steering is con-

trolled by a power steering control

unit which senses the steering wheel

torque and vehicle speed to com-

mand the motor.

The steering becomes heavier as the

vehicle’s speed increases and

becomes lighter as the vehicle’s

speed decreases for optimum steer-

ing control.

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.

• The steering gets heavy immedi-

ately after turning the ignition

switch on. This happens as the sys-

tem 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 (OFF) position.

• A motor noise may be heard when

the vehicle is at a stop or at a low

driving speed.

• If the Electronic Power Steering

System does not operate normally,

the warning light will illuminate on

the instrument cluster. The steer-

ing wheel may become difficult to

control or operate abnormally.

Take your vehicle to an authorized

Kia dealer and have the vehicle

checked as soon as possible.

As time passes, the steering wheel

will return to its normal condition.

of the vehicle. This is a normal sys-

tem operation characteristic.

• Operating the air conditioning sys-

tem in the recirculated air position

provides maximum cooling, how-

ever, 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

CAUTION - Excessive

A/C Use

• 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 vehicle by operating the air

conditioning system.

• During air conditioning system

operation, you may occasionally

notice a slight change in engine

speed as the air conditioning com-

pressor cycles. This is a normal

• Use the air conditioning system

every month only for a few minutes

to ensure maximum system per-

formance.

When using the air conditioning

system, monitor the tempera-

ture gauge closely while driving

up hills or in heavy traffic when

outside temperatures are high.

You can use the USB port to plug in

a USB device or iPod^®.

AM and FM radio signals are broad-

cast from transmitter towers located

around your city. They are intercept-

ed by the radio antenna on your vehi-

cle. This signal is then processed by

the radio and sent to your vehicle

speakers.

However, in some cases the signal

coming to your vehicle may not be

strong and clear.

Using a cellular phone or a two-

way radio

When a cellular phone is used inside

the vehicle, noise may be produced

from the audio system. This does not

mean that something is wrong with

the audio equipment. In such a case,

try to operate mobile devices as far

from the audio equipment as possible.

When using a communication sys-

tem such as a cellular phone or a

radio set inside the vehicle, a sepa-

rate external antenna must be fitted.

When a cellular phone or a radio set

is used with an internal antenna

alone, it may interfere with the vehi-

cle's electrical system and adversely

affect safe operation of the vehicle.
