Fuel requirements
Introduction
Fuel requirements
Your new vehicle is designed to use
only unleaded fuel having a pump
octane number ((R+M)/2) of 87
(Research Octane Number 91) or
higher. (Do not use methanol blend-
ed fuels.)
Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini-
mize exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
Never add any fuel system cleaning
agents to the fuel tank other than
what has been specified. (Consult an
authorized Kia dealer for details.)
䳜 Tighten the cap until it clicks one
time, otherwise the Check Engine
light will illuminate.
WARNING
Refueling
䳜 Do not "top off" after the nozzle
automatically shuts off. Attempts
to force more fuel into the tank
can cause fuel overflow onto you
and the ground, causing a risk of
fire.
䳜 Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage, especially in the event of
an accident.
Gasoline containing alcohol and
methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alco
-
hol), and gasoline or gasohol con
-
taining methanol (also known as
wood alcohol) are being marketed
along with or instead of leaded or
unleaded gasoline.
Pursuant to Environmental Protec
-
tion Agency (EPA) regulations, etha
-
nol may be used in your vehicle.
Do not use gasohol containing more
than 15% ethanol, and do not use
gasoline or gasohol containing any
methanol. Ethanol provides less
energy than gasoline and attracts
water. Thus, it is likely to reduce
your fuel efficiency and could lower
your MPG results.
Methanol may cause drivability
problems and damage to the fuel
system, engine control system and
emission control system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any
kind if drivability problems occur.
Vehicle damage or drivability prob
-
lems may not be covered by the
manufacturer's warranty if they
result from the use of:
1. Gasoline or gasohol containing
methanol.
2. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
3. Gasohol containing more than
15% ethanol.

Introduction Fuel requirements
"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel
comprised of 85% ethanol and 15%
gasoline, and is manufactured
exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel
Vehicles. "E85" is not compatible
with your vehicle. Use of "E85" may
result in poor engine performance
and damage to your vehicle's engine
and fuel system. Kia recommends
that customers do not use fuel with
an ethanol content exceeding 15%.
NOTICE
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty
does not cover damage to the fuel
system or any performance prob
-
lems caused by the use of "E85"
fuel.
NOTICE
Never use any fuel containing meth
-
anol. Discontinue use of any metha
-
nol containing products which may
inhibit proper drivability.
Other fuels
Using fuels that contain Silicone (Si),
MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Man
-
ganese Tricarbonyl), Manganese
(Mn) contained fuel, and other
metallic additives, may cause vehicle
and engine damage or cause misfir
-
ing, poor acceleration, engine stall
-
ing, catalyst melting, clogging,
abnormal corrosion, life cycle reduc
-
tion, etc.
Also, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) may illuminate.
NOTICE
Damage to the fuel system or per
-
formance problems caused by the
use of these other fuels may not be
covered by your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains harmful
manganese- based fuel additives
Such as MMT (Methylcyclopentadie
-
nyl Manganese Tricarbonyl). Kia
does not recommend the use of
gasoline containing MMT. This type
of fuel can reduce vehicle perfor
-
mance and affect your emission
control system. The Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the cluster
may come on.
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood
alcohol) should not be used in your
vehicle. This type of fuel can reduce
vehicle performance and damage
components of the fuel system,
engine control system and emission
control system.
Introduction
41
Fuel requirements
Fuel Additives
Kia recommends that you use good
quality gasolines treated with
detergent additives such as TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline, which help
prevent deposit formation in the
engine. These gasolines will help the
engine run cleaner and enhance
performance of the emission control
system.
For more information on TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline, please go to the
website (www.toptiergas.com) For
customers who do not use TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline regularly, and
have problems starting or the
engine does not run smoothly, addi
-
tives that you can buy separately
may be added to the gasoline.
If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is
not available, one bottle of additive
should be added to the fuel tank at
every 8,000 miles (13,000 km) or
every engine oil change is recom
-
mended. Additives are available
from your authorized Kia dealer
along with information on how to
use them. Do not mix other addi
-
tives.
Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle
in another country, be sure to:
䳜 Observe all regulations regarding
registration and insurance.
䳜 Determine that acceptable fuel is
available.

Introduction Vehicle modifications
Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could
affect its performance, safety or
durability and may even violate gov
-
ernmental safety and emissions
regulations.
In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from any modifi
-
cation may not be covered under
warranty.
䳜 If you use unauthorized electronic
devices, it may cause the vehicle
to operate abnormally, wire dam
-
age, battery discharge and fire.
For your safety, do not use unau
-
thorized electronic devices.
Vehicle break-in process
No special break-in period is needed.
By following a few simple precau
-
tions for the first 600 miles (1,000
km) you may add to the perfor
-
mance, economy and life of your
vehicle.
䳜 Do not race the engine.
䳜 While driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
䳜 Do not maintain a single engine
speed for long periods of time,
either fast or slow. Varying
engine speeds is needed to prop
-
erly break-in the engine.
䳜 Avoid hard stops, except in emer
-
gencies, to allow the brakes to
seat properly.
䳜 Don't tow a trailer during the first
1,200 miles (2,000 km) of opera
-
tion.
䳜 Fuel economy and engine perfor
-
mance may vary depending on
vehicle break-in process and be
stabilized after driving about
4,000 miles (6,000 km). Engines
may consume more oil during the
vehicle break-in period.
Introduction
61
Risk of burns when parking or stopping vehicle
Risk of burns when parking or
stopping vehicle
䳜 Do not park or stop the vehicle
near flammable items such as
leaves, paper, oil, and tire. Such
items placed near the exhaust
system can become a fire hazard.
䳜 When an engine idles at a high
speed with the rear side of the
vehicle touching the wall, heat of
the exhaust gas can cause discol
-
oration or fire. Keep enough space
between the rear part of the
vehicle and the wall.
䳜 Be sure not to touch the exhaust/
catalytic systems while engine is
running or right after the engine
is turned off. There is a risk of
burns since the systems are
extremely hot.
Vehicle handling instructions
As with other vehicles of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle cor
-
rectly may result in loss of control,
an accident or vehicle rollover.
Specific design characteristics
(higher ground clearance, track,
etc.) give this vehicle a higher center
of gravity than other types of vehi
-
cles. In other words they are not
designed for cornering at the same
speeds as conventional 2-wheel
drive vehicles.
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu
-
vers. Again, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss
of control, an accident or vehicle
rollover.
Be sure to read the "Reducing the
risk of a rollover" on page 5-181.

Introduction Vehicle data collection and Event Data Recorders
Vehicle data collection and Event
Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an
Event Data Recorder (EDR). The
main purpose of an EDR is to record,
in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obsta
-
cle, data that will assist in under
-
standing how a vehicle's systems
performed. The EDR is designed to
record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a
short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less. The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such
data as:
䳜 How various systems in your
vehicle were operating;
䳜 Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
䳜 How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,
䳜 How fast the vehicle was travel
-
ing.
These data can help provide a bet
-
ter understanding of the circum
-
stances in which crashes and
injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are
recorded by your vehicle, only if a
non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR
under normal driving conditions and
no personal data (e.g., name, gen
-
der, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties,
such as law enforcement, could
combine the EDR data with the type
of personally identifying data rou
-
tinely acquired during a crash inves
-
tigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.

Safety features of your vehicle Important safety precautions
Safety features of your vehicle
For the safety of the driver and
vehicle passengers, you should
become familiar with the vehicle's
safety features.
Important safety precautions
You will find many safety precau
-
tions and recommendations
throughout this section, and
throughout this manual.
The safety precautions in this sec
-
tion are among the most important.
Always wear your seat belt
A seat belt is your best protection in
all types of accidents. Air bags are
designed to supplement seat belts,
not replace them. So even though
your vehicle is equipped with air
bags, ALWAYS make sure you and
your passengers wear your seat
belts, and wear them properly.
Restrain all children
All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in
a rear seat, not the front seat.
Infants and small children should be
restrained in an appropriate child
restraint. Larger children should use
a booster seat with the lap/shoulder
belt until they can use the seat belt
properly without a booster seat.
Air bag hazards
While air bags can save lives, they
can also cause serious or fatal inju
-
ries to occupants who sit too close
to them, or who are not properly
restrained. Infants, young children,
and shorter adults are at the great
-
est risk of being injured by an inflat
-
ing air bag. Follow all instructions
and warnings in this manual.
Driver distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious
and potentially deadly danger, espe
-
cially for inexperienced drivers.
Safety should be the first concern
when behind the wheel and drivers
need to be aware of the wide array
of potential distractions, such as
drowsiness, reaching for objects,
eating, personal grooming, other
passengers, and using cellular
phones.
Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention
off the road or their hands off the
wheel to focus on activities other
than driving. To reduce your risk of
distraction or getting into an acci
-
dent:
䳜 ALWAYS set up your mobile
devices (i.e., MP3 players, phones,
navigation units, etc.) when your
vehicle is parked or safely
stopped.
Safety features of your vehicle
43
Important safety precautions
䳜 ONLY use your mobile device
when allowed by laws and when
conditions permit safe use.
NEVER text or email while driving.
Most states have laws prohibiting
drivers from texting. Some states
and cities also prohibit drivers
from using handheld phones.
䳜 NEVER let the use of a mobile
device distract you from driving.
You have a responsibility to your
passengers and others on the
road to always drive safely, with
your hands on the wheel as well
as your eyes and attention on the
road.
Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in
crash injuries and deaths. Generally,
the higher the speed, the greater
the risk, but serious injuries can also
occur at lower speeds. Never drive
faster than is safe for current driv
-
ing conditions, regardless of the
maximum speed posted.
Keep your vehicle in safe condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechani
-
cal failure can be extremely hazard
-
ous. To reduce the possibility of
such problems, check your tire pres
-
sures and conditions frequently, and
perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance.

impacting you or other passengers.
WARNING
Driver responsibility for passengers
The driver must advise the passen
-
gers to keep the seatback in an
upright position whenever the vehi
-
cle is in motion. If a seat is reclined
during an accident, the restraint
system's ability to restrain the pas
-
senger will be greatly reduced.
WARNING
Seat cushion
Occupants should never sit on after
-
market seat cushions or sitting
cushions. The passenger Occupant
Detection System may not operate
properly, or the passenger's hips
may slide under the lap portion of
the seat belt during an accident or a
sudden stop.

䳜 Never attempt to adjust the seat
while the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control of
your vehicle.
䳜 Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position of the
seatback. For example, storing
items against the seatback could
result in serious or fatal injury in a
sudden stop or collision.
䳜 Sit as far back as possible from
the steering wheel while still
maintaining comfortable control
of the your vehicle. A distance of
at least 10 in (25 cm) from your

portion and lap portion of the lap/
shoulder belt.
WARNING
Damaged seat belt
Any damage in webbing or hardware
may lead to serious injury or death
in a crash. For your safety, replace
the entire seat belt assembly when
any part of the webbing or hard
-
ware is damaged.
Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the bony structure of the body, and
should be worn low across the front
of the pelvis, chest and shoulders,
as applicable; wearing the lap sec
-
tion of the belt across the abdomi
-
nal area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid con
-
tamination of the webbing with pol
-
ishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild
soap and water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated or damaged.
䳜 No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
would either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating
to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being
adjusted to remove slack.
䳜 When you fasten the seat belt, be
careful not to latch the seat belt
in buckles of other seats. It is very
dangerous and you may not be
protected by the seat belt prop
-
erly.
䳜 Do not unfasten the seat belt and
do not fasten and unfasten the
seat belt repeatedly while driving.
This could result in loss of control,
and an accident causing death,
serious injury, or property dam
-
age.
䳜 When fastening the seat belt,
make sure that the seat belt does
not pass over objects that are
hard or can break easily.
WARNING
Seat belt buckle
Do not allow foreign material (gum,
crumbs, coins, liquids, etc.) to
obstruct the seat belt buckle. This
may prevent the seat belt from fas
-
tening securely.

Seat belt precautions
Take the following precautions
when using seat belts.
Infant or small child
All 50 states have child restraint
laws. You should be aware of the
specific requirements in your state.
Child and/or infant seats must be
properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. For more information
about the use of these restraints,
refer to "Child Restraint System
(CRS)" on page 3-46.
NOTICE
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when
properly restrained in the rear seat
by a Child Restraint System that
meets the requirements of the Fed
-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS). Before buying any Child
Restraint System, make sure that it
has a label certifying that it meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan
-
dard 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child's height
and weight. Check the label on the
child restraint for this information.
Refer to "Child Restraint System
(CRS)" on page 3-46.
Safety features of your vehicle
443
Seat belts
Larger children
Children who are too large for Child
Restraint System should always
occupy the rear seat and use the
available lap/shoulder belts. The lap
portion should be fastened and snug
on the hips as low as possible. Check
periodically to insure that the belt
fits. A child's squirming could put the
belt out of position. Children are
given the most safety in the event
of an accident when they are
restrained by a proper restraint
system in the rear seat. If a larger
child (over age 13) must be seated
in the front seat, the child should be
securely restrained by the available
lap/shoulder belt and the seat
should be placed in the rearmost
position. Children age 13 and under
should be restrained securely in the
rear seat. NEVER place a child age
13 and under in the front seat.
NEVER place a rear facing child seat
in the front seat of a vehicle.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child's neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt
still touches their face or neck they
need to be returned to a Child
Restraint System.
WARNING
Small children
Do not allow small children to ride in
the vehicle without an appropriate
Child Restraint System. If the shoul
-
der belt comes in contact with your
child's neck or face, your child is too
small to ride in the vehicle. In a
crash, the seat belt will inflict injury
to your child's neck, throat and face.
Restraint of pregnant women
Pregnant women should wear lap/
shoulder belt assemblies whenever
possible according to specific rec
-
ommendations by their doctors. The
lap portion of the belt should be
worn AS SECURELY AND LOW AS
POSSIBLE.
WARNING
Pregnant women
Pregnant women must never place
the lap portion of the seat belt
above or on the abdomen where the
fetus is located. The force of the
seat belt during a collision will crush
the fetus.

Safety features of your vehicle Seat belts
Injured person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
When this is necessary, you should
consult a physician for recommen
-
dations.
One person per belt
Two people (including children)
should never attempt to use a single
seat belt. This could increase the
severity of injuries in case of an
accident.
Do not lie down
To reduce the chance of injuries in
the event of an accident and to
achieve maximum effectiveness of
the restraint system, all passengers
should be sitting up and the front
and rear seats should be in an
upright position when the vehicle is
moving. A seat belt cannot provide
proper protection if the person is
lying down in the rear seat or if the
front and rear seats are in a reclined
position.
Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addi
-
tion, care should be taken to assure
that seat belts and belt hardware
are not damaged by seat hinges,
doors or other abuse.
WARNING
Pinched seat belt
Make sure that the webbing and/or
buckle does not get caught or
pinched in the rear seat when
returning the rear seatback to its
upright position. A caught or pinched
webbing/buckle may become dam
-
aged and could fail during a collision
or sudden stop.
WARNING
Seatbelts can become hot in a vehi
-
cle that has been closed up in sunny
weather. Please handle with care, as
they could burn infants and children,
if used abruptly.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected
periodically for wear or damage of
any kind. Any damaged parts should
be replaced as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. If belts become dirty, they can
be cleaned by using a mild soap
solution and warm water. Bleach,
dye, strong detergents or abrasives
should not be used because they
may damage and weaken the fabric.

When to replace seat belts
The entire in-use seat belt assem
-
bly or assemblies should be replaced
if the vehicle has been involved in an
accident. This should be done even if
no damage is visible. Additional
questions concerning seat belt
operation should be directed to an

Child Restraint System (CRS)
Infants and younger children must
be restrained in an appropriate
rear-facing or forward-facing Child
Restraint System (CRS) that has
first been properly secured to the
rear seat of the vehicle.
Children always in the rear
Children under age 13 must always
ride in the rear seats and must
always be properly restrained to
minimize the risk of injury in an
accident, sudden stop or sudden
maneuver.
WARNING
Restraint Location
Never install a child or infant seat on
the front passenger's seat. A child
riding in the front passenger seat
can be forcefully struck by an inflat
-
ing airbag and get seriously injured.
WARNING
Hot Child Restraint
A Child Restraint System can
become very hot if it is left in a

Safety features of your vehicle Child Restraint System (CRS)
restrained in the rear seats than in
the front seat. Even with air bags,
children can be seriously injured or
killed. Children too large for a child
restraint must use the seat belts
provided.
All 50 states have child restraint
laws which require children to travel
in approved child restraint devices.
The laws governing the age or
height/weight restrictions at which
seat belts can be used instead of
child restraints differs among
states, so you should be aware of
the specific requirements in your
state, and where you are traveling.
The CRS must be properly placed
and installed in the rear seat. You
must use a commercially available
CRS that meets the requirements of
the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS).
A CRS is generally designed to be
secured in a vehicle seat by lap belt
portion of a lap/shoulder belt, or by
a LATCH system in the rear seats of
the vehicle.
Child Restraint System (CRS)
Infants and younger children must
be restrained in an appropriate
rear-facing or forward-facing CRS
that has first been properly secured
to the rear seat of the vehicle. Read
and comply with the instructions for
installation and use provided by the
manufacturer of the CRS.
Child Restraint Installation
An improperly secured child
restraint can increase the risk of
serious injury or death in an acci
-
dent. Always take the following pre
-
cautions when using a Child
Restraint System:
䳜 Always follow the Child Restraint
System manufacturer's instruc
-
tions for installation and use.
䳜 Always properly restrain your
child in the child restraint.
䳜 If the vehicle head restraint pre
-
vents proper installation of a child
seat (as described in the Child
Restraint System manual), the
head restraint of the respective
seating position shall be read
-
justed or entirely removed.
䳜 Do not use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback as it may not
provide adequate protection in an
accident.
䳜 A child restraint in the center
seating position may also contact
or push up against the safety belt
buckles, which can damage the
buckles and make them unusable
or unsafe. Always check that the
child restraint does not contact
any of the safety belt buckles.
Check the placement of the child
restraint regularly to make sure
Safety features of your vehicle
483
Child Restraint System (CRS)
that it has not shifted and come
into contact with any of the
safety belt buckles.
NOTICE
After an accident, have a Kia dealer
check the Child Restraint System,
seat belts, tether anchors and lower
anchors.
Selecting a CRS
When selecting a CRS for your child,
always:
䳜 Make sure the CRS has a label
certifying that it meets applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS 213).
䳜 Select a child restraint based on
your child's height and weight.
The required label or the instruc
-
tions for use typically provide this
information.
䳜 Select a child restraint that fits
the vehicle seating position where
it will be used.
䳜 Read and comply with the warn
-
ings and instructions for installa
-
tion and use provided with the
CRS.
䳜 The American Academy of Pedi
-
atrics provides helpful fit and
safety information about child
restraints at www.healthychil
-
dren.org.
WARNING
Holding children
Never hold a child in your arms or
lap when riding in a vehicle. The vio
-
lent forces created during a crash
will tear the child from your arms
and throw the child against the car's
interior. Always use a Child Restraint
System which is appropriate for
your child's height and weight.
WARNING
Unattended children
Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle. The car can heat up very
quickly, resulting in injuries to the
child in the vehicle.
WARNING
Seat belt use
Do not use one seat belt for two
occupants at the same time. This
will eliminate any safety benefit
provided by the seat belt to the
occupants.
CRS types
There are three main types of the
CRS: rear-facing seats, forward-
facing seats, and booster seats.
They are classified according to the
child's age, height and weight.
49

Safety features of your vehicle Child Restraint System (CRS)
Rear-facing child seats
A rear-facing child seat provides
restraint with the seating surface
against the back of the child. The
harness system holds the child in
place, and in an accident, acts to
keep the child positioned in the seat
and reduces the stress to the neck
and spinal cord.
All children under age one must
always ride in a rear-facing infant
child restraint.
Convertible and 3-in-1 child seats
typically have higher height and
weight limits for the rear-facing
position, allowing you to keep your
child rear-facing for a longer period
of time.
Continue to use a rear-facing child
seat for as long as your child will fit
within the height and weight limits
allowed by the child seat manufac
-
turer. It's the best way to keep
them safe. Once your child has out
-
grown the rear-facing child
restraint, your child is ready for a
forward-facing child restraint with a
harness.
Forward-facing child restraints
A forward-facing child seat provides
restraint for the child's body with a
harness. Keep children in a forward-
facing child seat with a harness until
they reach the top height or weight
limit allowed by your child
restraint's manufacturer.
Once your child outgrows the for
-
ward-facing child restraint, your
child is ready for a booster seat.
Booster seats
A booster seat is a restraint
designed to improve the fit of the
vehicle's seat belt system. A booster
seat positions the seat belt so that
it fits properly over the lap of your
child.
Keep your child in a booster seat
until they are big enough to sit in
the seat without a booster and still
have the seat belt fit properly. For a
seat belt to fit properly, the lap belt
must lie snugly across the upper
thighs, not the stomach. The shoul
-
der belt should lie snug across the
shoulder and chest and not across
the neck or face. Children under age

Installing a CRS
After selecting a proper child seat
for your child, check to make sure it
fits properly in your vehicle.
Follow the instructions provided by
the manufacturer when installing
the child seat. Note these general
steps when installing the seat to
your vehicle:
䳜 Properly secure the child restraint
to the vehicle. All child restraints
must be secured to the vehicle
with the lap part of a lap/shoulder
belt or with the LATCH system.
䳜 Make sure the child restraint is
firmly secured. After installing a
child restraint to the vehicle, push
and pull the seat forward and
from side-to-side to verify that it
is securely attached to the seat. A
child restraint secured with a seat
belt should be installed as firmly
as possible. However, some side-

Lower Anchors and Tether for Chil
-
dren (LATCH) system
The LATCH system holds a child
restraint during driving and in an
accident. This system is designed to
make installation of the child
restraint easier and reduce the pos
-
sibility of improperly installing your
child restraint. The LATCH system
uses anchors in the vehicle and
attachments on the child restraint.
The LATCH system eliminates the
need to use seat belts to secure the
child restraint to the rear seats.
Lower anchors are metal bars built
into the vehicle. There are two lower
anchors for each LATCH seating
position that will accommodate a
child restraint with lower attach
-
ments.
To use the LATCH system in your
vehicle, you must have a child
restraint with LATCH attachments.
The child seat manufacturer will
provide you with instructions on
how to use the child seat with its
attachments for the LATCH lower
anchors.

Securing a child restraint with the
LATCH anchors system
To install a LATCH-compatible child
restraint in either of the rear out
-
board seating positions:
1. Move the seat belt buckle away
from the lower anchors. Other
-
wise, the webbing or buckle can
be damaged by the latch anchor,
which can make them become
unusable or unsafe.
2. Move any other objects away
from the anchors that could pre
-
vent a secure connection between
the child restraint and the lower
anchors.
3. Place the child restraint on the
vehicle seat, then attach the seat
to the lower anchors according to
the instructions provided by the
child restraint manufacturer.
4. Follow the child restraint instruc
-
tions for properly adjusting and
tightening the lower attach
-
ments on the child restraint to
the lower anchors.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the LATCH system:
䳜 Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your
Child Restraint System.
䳜 To prevent the child from reaching
and taking hold of the unused
seat belts, buckle all unused rear
seat belts before the child is
placed into the vehicle. Lock each
unused seatbelt following the
instructions in the "automatic
locking mode" subsection, and
place the webbing behind the child
seat or against an unused seat
-
back. Children can be strangled if
a shoulder belt becomes wrapped
around their neck and the seat
belt tightens.
䳜 NEVER attach more than one child
restraint to a single anchor. This
could cause the anchor or attach
-
ment to come loose or break.
䳜 Always have the LATCH system
inspected by your authorized Kia
dealer after an accident. An acci
-
dent can damage the LATCH sys
-
tem and may not properly secure
the child restraint.
NOTICE
The recommended maximum
weight for the LATCH system is 65
lbs. (30 kg). When selecting a proper
child restraint, consider that the
maximum total weight of the child
plus the child restraint should be
less than 65 lbs. (30 kg).
As a guide, the MAX child restraint
weight should be determined by the
following calculation:
Child Restraint Weight = 65 - (child's
total weight in lbs.)

OKA4030102L
Safety features of your vehicle

Air bag - Advanced Supplemental Restraint
System
How does the air bag system oper
-
ate?
䳜 Air bags are activated (able to
inflate if necessary) only when
the ignition switch or ENGINE
START/STOP Button is in the ON
Position and it can be activated
within about 3 minutes after igni
-
tion off.
䳜 The appropriate air bags inflate
instantly in the event of a serious
frontal collision or side collision in
order to help protect the occu
-
pants from serious physical
injury.
䳜 There is no single speed at which
the air bags will inflate. Generally,
air bags are designed to inflate
based upon the severity of a colli
-
sion and its direction, etc. Several
factors determine whether the
sensors produce an electronic
deployment/inflation signal.
䳜 Air bags will not deploy in every
crash or collision situations. Air
bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehi
-
cle speed, angles of impact, and,
the density and stiffness of the
vehicles or objects which your
vehicle hits in the collision. The
determining factors are not lim
-
ited to those mentioned above.
䳜 The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant. It
is virtually impossible for you to
see the air bags inflate during an
accident. It is much more likely
that you will simply see the
deflated air bags hanging out of
their storage compartments after
the collision.
䳜 In addition to inflating in serious
side collisions, side and/or curtain
air bags will inflate if the sensing
system detects a rollover.
䳜 When a rollover is detected, side
and/or curtain airbags will remain
inflated longer. This helps provide
protection from ejection, espe
-
cially when used in conjunction
with the seat belts.
䳜 In order to help provide protec
-
tion, the air bags must inflate
rapidly. The airbag inflates
extremely fast between the
occupant and the vehicle struc
-
tures before the occupant
impacts the vehicle structures.
This speed of inflation reduces
the risk of serious or life-threat
-
ening injuries and is thus a neces
-
sary part of the air bag design.
However, airbag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and bro
-
ken bones. This is because the
rapid inflation also causes the air
-
bags to expand with a great deal
of force.
䳜 There are even circumstances
under which contact with the
steering wheel or passenger air
bag can cause fatal injuries, espe
-
cially if the occupant is positioned
59

Safety features of your vehicle Air bag - Advanced Supplemental Restraint
System
excessively close to the steering
wheel or passenger air bag.
WARNING
Airbag inflation
Sit as far back as possible from the
steering wheel while still maintain
-
ing comfortable control of the vehi
-
cle. A distance of at least 10 in (25
cm) from your chest to the steering
wheel is recommended. Failure to do
so can result in airbag inflation inju
-
ries to the driver.
Noise and smoke
When inflated, the air bags make a
loud noise and leave smoke and
powder in the air inside the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the
ignition of the air bag inflator. After
the air bag inflates, you may feel
substantial discomfort in breathing
due to the contact of your chest
with both the seat belt and the air
bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder. Open your doors
and/or windows as soon as possible
after impact in order to reduce dis
-
comfort and prevent prolonged
exposure to the smoke and powder.
Though smoke and powder are non
-
toxic, it may cause irritation to the
skin (eyes, nose and throat, etc). If
this is the case, wash and rinse with
cold water immediately and consult
a doctor if the symptom persists.
WARNING
Hot components
Do not touch the air bag storage
area's internal components immedi
-
ately after airbag inflation. The air
bag related parts in the steering
wheel, instrument panel and the
roof rails above the front and rear
doors are very hot. Hot components
can result in burn injuries.

SENGER AIR BAG ( ) indicator
remains illuminated after the pas
-
senger repositions themselves
properly and the car is restarted, it
is recommended that passenger
move to the rear seat because the
passenger's front air bag will not

cator does not illuminate if the front
passenger seat is occupied, the
occupant detection sensor will then
classify the front passenger after
several more seconds Also, if the
ENGINE START/STOP button is
turned to the ON position when
about 3 minutes have elapsed since
the vehicle is in OFF position.
䳜 Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the Occupant
Detection System, never install a
Child Restraint System in the
front passenger's seat. A deploy

ing air bag can forcefully strike a
child resulting in serious injuries or
death.
Any child age 13 and under should
ride in the rear seat. Children too
large for child restraints should use
the available lap/shoulder belts. No
matter what type of crash, children
of all ages are safer when
restrained in the rear seat.
If the ODS is not working properly,

passenger with additional protec
-
tion than that offered by the seat
belt system alone in case of a fron
-
tal impact of sufficient severity. The
SRS uses sensors to gather infor
-
mation about the driver's and front
passenger's seat belt usage and
impact severity.
The seat belt buckle sensor deter
-
mines if the front passenger's seat
belt is fastened.
These sensors provide the ability to
control the SRS deployment based
on whether or not the seat belts are
fastened, and how severe the
impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability
to control the air bag inflation with
two levels. A first stage level is pro
-
vided for moderate-severity
impacts. A second stage level is pro
-
vided for more severe impacts.
According to the impact severity
and seat belt usage, the SRS Control
Module (SRSCM) controls the air bag
inflation. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
Additionally, your vehicle is equipped
with an Occupant Detection System
(ODS) in the front passenger's seat.
The ODS detects the presence of a
passenger in the front passenger's
seat and will turn off the front pas
-
senger's air bag under certain condi
-
tions. For more detail, see "Occupant
Detection System (ODS)" on page 3-
64.
WARNING
Modification to the seat structure is
more likely to cause the air bag to
deploy at a different level than
should be provided.
Manufacturers are required by gov
-
ernment regulations to provide a
contact point concerning modifica
-
tions to the vehicle for persons with
disabilities, which modifications may
affect the vehicle's advanced air bag
system. That contact is Kia's toll-
free Customer Assistance center at
1-800-333-4Kia. However, Kia does
not endorse nor will it support any
changes to any part or structure of
the vehicle that could affect the
advanced air bag system, including
the ODS.
WARNING
Replacement/modifications
The front passenger seat, dash
-
board or door should not be replaced
except by an authorized Kia dealer
using original Kia parts designed for
this vehicle and model. Any other
such replacement or modification
could adversely affect the operation
of the Occupant Detection System
and your advanced air bags.

Advanced air bags are combined
with pre-tensioner seat belts to
help provide enhanced occupant
protection in frontal crashes. Front
air bags are not intended to deploy
in collisions in which sufficient pro
-
tection can be provided by the seat
belt.
NOTICE
Air bags can only be used once 䳍
have an authorized Kia dealer
replace the air bag immediately
after deployment.
Front air bags are not intended to
deploy in side-impact, rear-impact
or rollover crashes. However, when
frontal deployment threshold is sat
-
isfied at side-impact, front air bags
may deploy. In addition, front air
bags will not deploy in frontal
crashes below the deployment
threshold.
WARNING
SRS wiring
Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring or other components of
the SRS system. Doing so could
result in injury, due to accidental
deployment of the air bags or by
rendering the SRS inoperative.
WARNING
No attaching objects
No objects (such as crash pad cover,

WARNING
Air bag sensors
䳜 Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air
bags or sensors are installed.
This may cause unexpected air
bag deployment, which could
result in serious personal injury or
death.
䳜 If the installation location or angle
of the sensors is altered in any
way, the air bags may deploy
when they should not or they
may not deploy when they
should.
Therefore, do not try to perform
maintenance on or around the air
bag sensors. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized Kia dealer.
䳜 Do not arbitrarily touch the front
impact sensor. When the angle of
the sensor is changed, the air bag
system may malfunction.
WARNING
If equipped with rollover sensor
If your vehicle is equipped with side
and curtain air bag, set the ignition
switch or ENGINE START/STOP but
-
ton to OFF or ACC position and wait
for 3 minutes when the vehicle is
being towed.
The side and curtain air bag may
deploy when the ignitions is ON or
the ignition is OFF within 3 minutes,
and the rollover sensor detects the
situation as a rollover.
Problems may arise if the sensor
installation angles are changed due
to the deformation of the front
bumper, front end module, body or
front doors where side collision sen
-
sors are installed. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an autho

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to
inflate in a frontal collision depend
-
ing on several factors, including the
severity of impact of the front colli
-
sion.
Side and curtain air bags
* The actual air bags in the vehicle
may differ from the illustration.
Side and/or curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when an impact
is detected by side collision sensors
depending on several factors,
including the severity of impact
resulting from a side impact colli
-
sion.
Also, the side and curtain air bags
are designed to inflate when a roll
-
over is detected by a rollover sensor.
Although the front air bags (driver's
and front passenger's air bags) are
primarily designed to inflate in fron
-
tal collisions, they may inflate in
other types of collisions if the front
impact sensors detect a sufficient
frontal force in another type of
impact.
Similarly, although side and curtain
air bags are designed to inflate in
certain side impact collisions, they
may inflate in other types of colli
-
sions where a side force is detected

by the sensors. For instance, side air
bag and/or curtain air bags may
inflate if rollover sensors indicate
the possibility of a rollover occurring
(even if none actually occurs) or in
other situations, including when the
vehicle is tilted while being towed.
Even if side and/or curtain air bags
do not provide impact protection in
a rollover, they will deploy to pre
-
vent ejection of occupants, espe
-
cially those who are restrained with
seat belts.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads, the air bags may deploy.
Drive carefully on unimproved roads
or on surfaces not designed for
vehicle traffic to prevent unintended
air bag deployment.
NOTICE
If equipped with rollover sensor
Also, the side and curtain air bags
are designed to inflate when a roll
-
over is detected by a rollover sensor.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
䳜 Air bags may not deploy in certain
low-speed collisions where the air
bag would not add any benefit
beyond the protection already
offered by the seat belts.
䳜 Front air bags are not designed to
inflate in rear collisions, because
occupants are moved backward
by the force of the impact. In this
case, inflated air bags would not
be able to provide any additional
benefit.
䳜 Front airbags may not inflate in
side impact collisions, because
passengers move in the direction
of the collision. Thus, in side
impacts, frontal airbag deploy
-
ment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
OKA4030083N
OKA4030084N
81

Safety features of your vehicle Air bag - Advanced Supplemental Restraint
System
䳜 In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants
in a direction where the air bags
would not be able to provide any
additional benefit, and thus the
sensors may not deploy any air
bags.
䳜
䳜 Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the
vehicle causing it to "ride" under a
vehicle with a higher ground
clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this "under-ride" situa
-
tion because deceleration forces
that are detected by sensors may
be significantly reduced by such
"under-ride" collisions.
䳜 Front air bags may not inflate in
all rollover accidents when the
SRS Control Module (SRSCM) indi
-
cates that the front air bag
deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
NOTICE
If equipped with rollover sensor
However, if equipped with side and
curtain air bags, the air bags may
inflate in a rollover, when it is
detected by the rollover sensor.

䳜 Airbags may not inflate if the
vehicle collides with an object such
as a utility pole or tree. This is
because the point of impact is
concentrated in one area and the
full force of the impact is not
delivered to the sensors.
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) care
The Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) is virtually maintenance-free
and so there are no parts you can
safely service by yourself.
If the SRS air bag warning light does
not illuminate, or continuously
remains on, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by an autho
-
rized Kia dealer.
Any work on the SRS, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or
any work on the steering wheel, the
front passenger's panel, front seats
and roof rails must be performed by
an authorized Kia dealer. Improper
handling of the SRS may result in
serious personal injury.
For cleaning the air bag pad covers,
use only a soft, dry cloth or one
which has been moistened with
plain water. Solvents or cleaners
could adversely affect the air bag
covers and proper deployment of
the system.
If components of the air bag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed. An
authorized Kia dealer knows these
precautions and can give you the
necessary information. Failure to
follow these precautions and proce
-
dures could increase the risk of
bodily injury.
WARNING
Tampering with SRS
Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring or other components of
the SRS system. Doing so could
result in the accidental inflation of
the air bag or render the SRS inop
-
erative.
WARNING
Towing vehicle
Always have the ignition off and
wait for 3 minutes when your vehi
-
cle is being towed. The side air bags
may inflate if the vehicle is tilted

such as when being towed because
of the rollover sensors in the vehicle.
Additional safety precautions
䳜 Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area or on top of a folded-
down back seat. All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in
their seats with their seat belts
on and their feet on the floor.
䳜 Passengers should not move out
of or change seats while the vehi
-
cle is moving. A passenger who is
not wearing a seat belt during a
crash or emergency stop can be
thrown against the inside of the
vehicle, against other occupants,
or out of the vehicle.
䳜 Each seat belt is designed to
restrain one occupant. If more
than one person uses the same
seat belt, they could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
䳜 Do not use any accessories on
seat belts. Devices claiming to
improve occupant comfort or
reposition the seat belt can
reduce the protection provided by
the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.
䳜 Passengers should not place hard
or sharp objects between them
-
selves and the air bags. Carrying
hard or sharp objects on your lap
or in your mouth can result in
injuries if an air bag inflates.
䳜 Keep occupants away from the
air bag covers. All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in
their seats with their seat belts
on and their feet on the floor. If
occupants are too close to the air
bag covers, they could be injured
if the air bags inflate.
䳜 Do not attach or place objects on
or near the air bag covers. Any
object attached to or placed on
the front or side air bag covers
could interfere with the proper
operation of the air bags.
䳜 Do not modify the front
seats.Modification of the front
seats could interfere with the
operation of the supplemental
restraint system sensing compo
-
nents or side air bags.
䳜 Do not place items under the
front seats. Placing items under
the front seats could interfere
with the operation of the supple
-
mental restraint system sensing
components and wiring har
-
nesses.
䳜 Never hold an infant or child on
your lap. The infant or child could
be seriously injured or killed in the
event of a crash. All infants and
children should be properly
restrained in appropriate child
safety seats or seat belts in the
rear seat.

Steering wheel
Steering wheel
The steering wheel of this vehicle is
equipped with the Electric Power
Steering (EPS) system.
Electric power steering (EPS)
Power steering uses the motor to
assist you in steering the vehicle.
If the engine is off or if the power
steering system becomes inopera
-
tive, the vehicle may still be steered,
but it will require increased steering
effort.
The EPS is controlled by the power
steering control unit which senses
the steering wheel torque and vehi
-
cle speed to command the motor.
The steering effort 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 nor
-
mal vehicle operation, have the sys
-
tem checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
䳜 When the ENGINE START/STOP
button is the ON position, the
steering wheel enters normal
operation mode after diagnosing
the Electric Power Steering sys
-
tem (for about 3 seconds).
䳜 A click noise may be heard from
the EPS relay after turning the
ENGINE START/STOP button is
turned to the ON or OFF position.
䳜 If the steering wheel is operated
when the vehicle is not in motion
or driven at a low speed, you may
hear some noise.
䳜 If the Electric Power Steering sys
-
tem does not operate normally,
the warning light will illuminate or
blink on the instrument cluster. If
the power assistance of steering
fails, you will need to use more
force to steer.
䳜 Operating the steering wheel at
lower temperatures may require
more force and accompany noise.
However, when the temperature
increases, it returns to normal.
䳜 Take your vehicle to an authorized
Kia dealer and have the vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
䳜 When the charging system warn
-
ing light comes on due to the low
voltage (when the alternator or
battery does not operate nor
-
mally or malfunctions), the steer
-
ing wheel may require increased
steering effort.

it works for your safety and will
return to normal after some time.
CAUTION
If the Electric Power Steering (EPS)
system does not work or an error
occurs, the warning light on the
instrument panel may be turned on
or blink and it may require more
force to operate the steering wheel.
In this case, please hold the steering
wheel more tightly than usual and
operate with greater force. And
then immediately pull your vehicle
over to a safe place and have your
vehicle inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.

tips
䳜 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.
䳜 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.
䳜 During air conditioning system
operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in vehicle
speed as the air conditioning
compressor cycles. This is a nor
-
mal characteristic of system
operation.
䳜 To ensure maximum system per
-
formance, the air conditioning
system should be run for a few
minutes each month.
䳜 When using the air conditioning
system, you may notice clear
water dripping (or even puddling)
on the ground under the passen
-
ger side of the vehicle. This is a
normal characteristic of system
operation.
䳜 Operating the air conditioning
system in the recirculated air
position provides maximum cool
-
ing; however, continual operation
in this mode may cause the air
inside the vehicle to become stale.
䳜 During cooling operation, you may
occasionally notice a misty air
flow because of rapid cooling and
humid air intake. This is a normal
characteristic of system opera

How vehicle radio works
FM reception
AM and FM radio signals are broad
-
cast from transmitter towers
located around your city. They are
intercepted by the radio antenna on
your vehicle. This signal is then pro
-
cessed 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.
This can be due to factors, such as
the distance from the radio station,
closeness of other strong radio sta
-
tions or the presence of buildings,
bridges or other large obstructions
in the area.

Features of your vehicle Infotainment system
AM reception
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broad
-
casts. This is because AM radio
waves are transmitted at low fre
-
quencies. These long distance, low
frequency radio waves can follow
the curvature of the earth rather
than traveling straight. In addition,
they curve around obstructions
resulting in better signal coverage.
FM radio station
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 within short distances
from the station. Also, FM signals
are easily affected by buildings,
mountains, and obstructions. This
can lead to undesirable or unpleas
-
ant 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:
䳜 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 station with a stronger
signal.
䳜 Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals
or large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can
disturb the signal causing static or
fluttering noises to occur. Reduc
-
ing the treble level may lessen
this effect until the disturbance
clears.
ODEEV068217NR
ODEEV068219NR
OSK3048403NR
Features of your vehicle
2224
Infotainment system
䳜 Station Swapping - As an FM sig
-
nal weakens, another more pow
-
erful signal near the same
frequency may begin to play. This
is because your radio is designed
to lock onto the clearest signal. If
this occurs, select another station
with a stronger signal.
䳜 Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio
signals being received from sev
-
eral directions can cause distor
-
tion or fluttering. This can be
caused by a direct and reflected
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.
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 fit
-
ted. When a cellular phone or a radio
set is used with only the internal
antenna, it may interfere with the
vehicle's electrical system and
adversely affect the safe operation
of the vehicle.
WARNING
Cell phone use
Do not use a cellular phone while
driving. Stop at a safe location to
use a cellular phone.
WARNING
Distracted driving
Driving while distracted can result in
a loss of vehicle control that may
lead to an accident, severe bodily
injury, or death. The driver's pri
-
mary responsibility is the safe and
legal operation of the vehicle, and
the use of any handheld devices,
other equipment, or vehicle systems
that take the driver's eyes, atten
-
tion, and focus away from the safe
operation of the vehicle, or that are
not permissible by law, should never
be used during the operation of the
vehicle.

Good driving practices
䳜 Never move the shift lever from P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator
pedal depressed.
䳜 Never move the shift lever into P
(Park) when the vehicle is in
motion.
䳜 Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to
shift into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
䳜 Never take the vehicle out of gear
and coast down a hill. This may be
extremely hazardous. Always
leave the vehicle in gear when
moving.
䳜 Do not "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 down the vehicle.
䳜 Slow down before shifting to a
lower gear. Otherwise, the lower
gear may not be engaged.
䳜 Always use the parking brake. Do
not depend on placing the trans
-
mission in P (Park) to keep the
vehicle from moving.
䳜 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 con
-
trol.
䳜 Optimum vehicle performance
and economy is obtained by
smoothly depressing and releas
-
ing the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
䳜 When driving uphill or downhill,
always shift to D (Drive) for driv
-
ing forward or shift to R (Reverse)
for driving backwards, and check
the gear position indicated on the
cluster before driving. Driving in
the opposite direction of the
selected gear can lead to a dan
-
gerous situation by shutting off
the engine and affecting the
braking performance.
䳜 Always buckle-up! In a collision, an
unbelted occupant is significantly
more likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a properly belted
occupant.
䳜 Avoid high speeds when cornering
or turning.
Driving your vehicle
225
Automatic transmission (Shift Lever)
䳜 Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
䳜 The risk of a rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
䳜 Losing control often occurs if two
or more wheels drop off the road
-
way and the driver oversteers to
reenter the roadway.
䳜 In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer
sharply. Instead, slow down
before pulling back into the travel
lanes.
䳜 Never exceed posted speed limits.
WARNING
If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may
attempt to rock the vehicle free by
moving it forward and backward. Do
not attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near the
vehicle. During the rocking operation
the vehicle may suddenly move for
-
ward or backward as it becomes
unstuck, causing injury or damage
to nearby people or objects.
Moving up a steep grade from a
standing start
To move up a steep grade from a
standing start:
䳜 Depress the brake pedal, shift the
shift lever to D (Drive).
Select the appropriate gear
depending on load weight and
steepness of the grade, and
release the parking brake.
Depress the accelerator gradually
after releasing the service brakes.

Driving your vehicle Brake system
Brake system
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes, parking brake, and various
braking systems for safe driving.
Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
In the event that the power-
assisted brakes lose power because
of a stalled engine or some other
reason, you can still stop your vehi
-
cle by applying greater force to the
brake pedal than you normally
would. The stopping distance, how
-
ever, will be longer.
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.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con
-
trol on slippery surfaces.
CAUTION
Brake pedal
Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. This will create
abnormally high brake tempera
-
tures which can cause excessive
brake lining and pad wear.
WARNING
Steep hill braking
Avoid continuous application of the
brakes when descending a long or
steep hill by shifting to a lower gear.
Continuous brake application will
cause the brakes to overheat and
could result in a temporary loss of
braking performance.
Wet brakes may impair the vehicle's
ability to safely slow down; the
vehicle may also pull to one side
when the brakes are applied. Apply
-
ing 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 forward speed until brake per
-
formance returns to normal.
In the event of brake failure
If service brakes fail to operate
while the vehicle is in motion, you
can make an emergency stop with
the parking brake. The stopping dis
-
tance, however, will be much
greater than normal.
Driving your vehicle

Brake system
WARNING
Parking brake
Avoid applying the parking brake to
stop the vehicle while it is moving
except in an emergency situation.
Applying 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.
Brake Over Accelerator
In the event the accelerator pedal
becomes stuck or entrapped, apply
steady and firm pressure to the
brake pedal to slow the vehicle and
reduce engine power.
If you experience this condition, take
the following steps:
1. Apply the brakes and bring your
vehicle to a safe stop.
2. Move the transmission to P
(Park), switch the engine off and
apply the parking brake.
3. Inspect the accelerator pedal for
any interference.
If none are found and the condition
persists, have your vehicle towed to
an authorized Kia dealer.
Disc brakes wear indicator
When your brake pads are worn and
new pads are required, you will hear
a high-pitched warning sound from
your front brakes or rear brakes.
You may hear this sound come and
go or it may occur whenever you
press the brake pedal.
Please remember that some driving
conditions or climates may cause a
brake squeal when you first apply
(or lightly apply) the brakes. This is
normal and does not indicate a
problem with your brakes.
Always replace the front or rear
brake pads as pairs.
CAUTION
Replace brake pads
Do not continue to drive with worn
brake pads. Continuing to drive with
worn brake pads can damage the
braking system and result in costly
brake repairs.
WARNING
Brake wear
Do not ignore high pitched wear
sounds from your brakes. If you
ignore this audible warning, you will
eventually lose braking perfor
-
mance, which could lead to a serious
accident.

disc
Outer vent brake disc
The vent area of the outer vent-
type brake disc is exposed to the
outside to improve the cooling per
-
formance of the brake when driv
-
ing.The exposed vent area may

Brake system
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent acci
-
dents due to improper or dangerous
driving maneuvers. Even though
vehicle control is improved during
emergency braking, always main
-
tain a safe distance between you
and objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions. The vehicle
should be driven at reduced speeds
in the following circumstances:
䳜 When driving on rough, gravel or
snow-covered roads
䳜 When driving with tire chains
installed
䳜 When driving on roads where the
road surface is pitted or has dif
-
ferent surface heights.
Driving in these conditions increases
the stopping distance for your vehi
-
cle.
The ABS continuously senses the
speed of the wheels. If the wheels
are going to lock, the ABS repeat
-
edly modulates the hydraulic brake
pressure to the wheels.
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
corresponding sensation in the
brake pedal. This is normal and it
means your ABS is active.
In order to obtain the maximum
benefit from your ABS in an emer
-
gency 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 to allow the ABS to control
the force being delivered to the
brakes.
NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the
vehicle compartment when the
vehicle begins to move after the
vehicle is started. These conditions
are normal and indicate that the
Anti-lock Brake System is function
-
ing properly.
Even with the Anti-lock Brake Sys
-
tem, your vehicle still requires suffi
-
cient stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you.
Always slow down when cornering.
The Anti-lock Brake System cannot
prevent accidents resulting from
excessive speeds.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the Anti-lock Brake
System may result in a longer stop
-
ping distance than for vehicles
equipped with a conventional brake
system.
The ABS warning light will stay on
for approximately 3 seconds after
the ENGINE START/STOP button is
ON.

Driving your vehicle Brake system
During that time, the ABS will go
through self-diagnosis and the light
will go off if everything is normal. If
the light stays on, you may have a
problem with your ABS. Contact and
visit an authorized Kia dealer.
When you drive on a road having
poor traction, such as an icy road,
and have operated your brakes con
-
tinuously, the ABS will be active
continuously and the ABS warning
light may illuminate. Pull your vehi
-
cle over to a safe place and stop the

Restart the vehicle. If the ABS
warning light goes off, then your
ABS is normal. Otherwise, you may
have a problem with the ABS. Con
-
tact and visit an authorized Kia
dealer.
NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
vehicle may not run as smoothly
and the ABS warning light may turn
on at the same time. This happens
because of low battery voltage. It
does not mean your ABS has mal

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) is designed to stabilize the
vehicle during cornering maneuvers.
ESC applies the brakes on individual
wheels and intervenes with the
vehicle management system to sta
-
bilize the vehicle.
ESC will not prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
maneuvers and hydroplaning on wet
surfaces can still result in serious
accidents.
Only a safe and attentive driver can
prevent accidents by avoiding
maneuvers that cause the vehicle to
lose traction. Even with ESC
installed, always follow all the nor

Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
A vehicle has the tendency to roll
back on a steep hill when it starts to
go after stopping. The Hill-start
Assist Control (HAC) prevents the
vehicle from rolling back by applying
the brakes automatically for about
2 seconds.
The brakes are released when the
accelerator pedal is engaged or
after about 2 seconds.
The HAC is activated only for about
2 seconds, so when the vehicle is
starting off always engaged the
accelerator pedal.
WARNING

Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) sys
-
tem
The Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) is
operated as a vehicle stability con
-
trol system. The TSA is designed to
stabilize the vehicle and trailer when
the trailer sways or oscillates. There
are various factors that make the
vehicle sway or oscillate.
Such incidents mostly happen at
high speed, but, there is also a risk
of swaying when the trailer is
affected by crosswinds, buffeting or
improper overloading.
Factors of swaying such as:
䳜 High speed
䳜 Strong crosswinds
䳜 Improper overloading
䳜 Sudden controlling of steering
wheel
䳜 Uneven road
The TSA continuously analyzes the
vehicle and trailer instability. When
the TSA detects some sway, the
brakes are applied automatically to
stabilize the vehicle. When the vehi
-
cle becomes stable, the TSA does
not operate.
Brake Assist System (BAS)
The BAS system is to reduce or to
avoid accident risk. It recognizes the
distance from the vehicle ahead or
the pedestrian through the sensors
(i.e. radar and camera), and, if nec

risk with the warning message or
the warning alarms.
WARNING
Brake Assist System (BAS) limita
-

Driving your vehicle Brake system
NOTICE
Take the following precautions
when using the Brake Assist System
(BAS):
This system is only 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 detect
-
able by the sensors are limited. Pay
attention to the road conditions at
all times.
NEVER drive too fast in accordance
with the road conditions or while
cornering.
Always drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring. BAS does not stop
the vehicle completely and does not
avoid collisions.
Good braking practices
Good braking practices help keep
occupants safe and extend brake
life.
䳜 Check to be sure the parking
brake is not engaged and the
parking brake indicator light is out
before driving away.
䳜 Driving through water may get
the brakes wet. They can also get
wet when the vehicle is washed.
Wet brakes can be dangerous!
Your vehicle will not stop as
quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet
brakes may cause the vehicle to
pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the
brakes lightly until the braking
action returns to normal, taking
care to keep the vehicle under
control at all times. If the braking
action does not return to normal,
stop as soon as it is safe to do so
and visit an authorized Kia dealer.
䳜 Don't coast down hills with the
vehicle out of gear. This is
extremely hazardous. Keep the
vehicle in gear at all times, use the
brakes to slow down, then shift to
a lower gear so that vehicle brak
-
ing will help you maintain a safe
speed.
䳜 Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Rest
-
ing your foot on the brake pedal
while driving can be dangerous
because the brakes might over
-
heat and lose their effectiveness.
It also increases the wear of the
brake components.
䳜 If a tire goes flat while you are
driving, apply the brakes gently
and keep the vehicle pointed
straight ahead while you slow
down. When you are moving
slowly enough for it to be safe to
do so, pull off the road and stop in
a safe place.
䳜 Be cautious when parking on a hill.
Firmly engage the parking brake
and place the shift lever in P. If
your vehicle is facing downhill,
turn the front wheels into the
Driving your vehicle
425
Vehicle Auto Shut-off system
curb to help keep the vehicle from
rolling.
If your vehicle is facing uphill, turn
the front wheels away from the
curb to help keep the vehicle from
rolling. If there is no curb or if it is
required by other conditions to
keep the vehicle from rolling,
block the wheels.
䳜 Under some conditions your park
-
ing brake can freeze in the
engaged position. This is most
likely to happen when there is an
accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes or
if the brakes are wet. If there is a
risk that the parking brake may
freeze, apply it only temporarily
while you put the shift lever in P
(Parking) and block the rear
wheels so the vehicle cannot roll.
Then release the parking brake.
䳜 Do not hold the vehicle on an
incline with the accelerator pedal.
This can cause the transmission
to overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.
Vehicle Auto Shut-off system (if

gently depress the accelerator
pedal. (Your driving is categorized
to be economic.)
䳜 The driving mode automatically
changes from SMART ECO mode
to SMART COMFORT mode after a
certain period of time, when you
sharply or repetitively depress the

automatically returns to SMART
ECO mode, when the vehicle
enters a leveled road.
䳜 The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART SPORT, when
you abruptly accelerate the vehi
-
cle or repetitively operate the
steering wheel. (Your driving is
categorized to be sporty.) In this
mode, your vehicle drives in a
lower gear for abrupt accelerat
-
ing/decelerating and increases the
engine brake performance.
䳜 You may still sense the engine
braking performance, even when
you release the accelerator pedal
in SMART SPORT mode. It is
because your vehicle remains in

NOTICE
Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist can detect a pedestrian or an
object when:
䳜 A pedestrian is standing behind

䳜 A large obstacle, such as a vehicle,
is parked in the rear center of
your vehicle
Economical operation
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving,
where you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many kilometers (miles) you can get
from a liter (gallon) of fuel. To oper
-
ate your vehicle as economically as
possible, use the following driving
suggestions to help save money in
both fuel and repairs:
䳜 Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a
moderate rate. Don't make "jack
-
rabbit" starts or full-throttle
shifts and maintain a steady
cruising speed. Don't race
between stoplights. Try to adjust
your speed to the traffic so you
don't have to change speeds
unnecessarily. Avoid heavy traffic
whenever possible.
Always maintain a safe distance
from other vehicles so you can
avoid unnecessary braking. This
also reduces brake wear.
䳜 Drive at a moderate speed. The
faster you drive, the more fuel
your vehicle uses. Driving at a
moderate speed, especially on the
highway, is one of the most
effective ways to reduce fuel con
-
sumption.
䳜 Take care of your tires. Keep
them inflated to the recom
-
mended pressure. Incorrect infla
-
tion, either too much or too little,
results in unnecessary tire wear.
Driving your vehicle
1785
Economical operation
Check the tire pressures at least
once a month.
䳜 Be sure that the wheels are
aligned correctly. Improper align
-
ment can result from hitting
curbs or driving too fast over
irregular surfaces. Poor alignment
causes faster tire wear and may
also result in other problems as
well as greater fuel consumption.
䳜 Keep your vehicle in good condi
-
tion. For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs,
maintain your vehicle in accor
-
dance with the maintenance
schedule in "Scheduled mainte
-
nance service" on page 7-10. If
you drive your vehicle in severe
conditions, more frequent main
-
tenance is required (Refer to
"Maintenance under severe usage
conditions" on page 7-14).
䳜 Travel lightly. Don't carry unnec
-
essary weight in your vehicle.
Weight reduces fuel economy.
䳜 Don't let the engine idle longer
than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.
䳜 Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the
engine. Lugging is driving too
slowly in too high a gear resulting
in the engine bucking. If this hap
-
pens, shift to a lower gear. Over-
revving is racing the engine
beyond its safe limit. This can be
avoided by shifting at the recom
-
mended speeds.
䳜 Open windows at high speeds can
reduce fuel economy.
䳜 Fuel economy is less in cross
-
winds and headwinds. To help off
-
set some of this loss, slow down
when driving in these conditions.
Keeping a vehicle in good operating
condition is important both for
economy and safety.
Therefore, have the function
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
Engine off during motion
Never turn the engine off to coast
down hills or anytime the vehicle is
in motion. The power steering and
power brakes will not function prop
-
erly without the engine running. In
addition, turning off the ignition
while driving could engage the
steering wheel lock resulting in loss
of vehicle steering. Keep the engine
on and downshift to an appropriate
gear for engine braking effect.

than usual to your driving.
Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar haz
-
ards, follow these suggestions:
䳜 Drive cautiously and allow extra
distance for braking.
䳜 Avoid sudden braking or steering.
䳜 Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS.
䳜 If stalled in snow, mud, or sand,
use the second gear. Accelerate
slowly to avoid spinning the drive
wheels.
䳜 Use sand, rock salt, or other non

stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
Reducing the risk of a rollover
This multi-purpose passenger vehi
-
cle is defined as a Sports Utility
Vehicle (SUV). Utility vehicles have a
significantly higher rollover rate
than other types of vehicles. SUVs
have higher ground clearance and a
narrower track to make them capa
-
ble of performing in a wide variety
of offroad applications.
Driving your vehicle
1825
Special driving conditions
Specific design characteristics give
them a higher center of gravity than
ordinary vehicles. An advantage of
the higher ground clearance is a
better view of the road, which
allows you to anticipate problems.
They are not designed for cornering
at the same speeds as conventional
passenger vehicles, any more than
low-slung sports vehicles are
designed to perform satisfactorily in
off-road conditions. Due to this risk,
driver and passengers are strongly
recommended to buckle their seat
belts.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted per
-
son is significantly more likely to die
than a person wearing a seat belt.
There are steps that a driver can
make to reduce the risk of a rollover.
If at all possible, avoid sharp turns
or abrupt maneuvers, do not load
your roof rack with heavy cargo,
and never modify your vehicle in any
way.
WARNING
Rollover
As with other Sports Utility Vehicle
(SUV), failure to operate this vehicle
correctly may result in loss of con
-
trol, an accident or vehicle rollover.
䳜 Utility vehicles have a significantly
higher rollover rate than other
types of vehicles.
䳜 Specific design characteristics
(higher ground clearance, nar
-
rower track, etc.) give this vehicle
a higher center of gravity than
ordinary vehicles.
䳜 A SUV is not designed for corner
-
ing at the same speeds as con
-
ventional vehicles.
䳜 Avoid sharp turns or abrupt
maneuvers.
䳜 In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely
to die than a person wearing a
seat belt. Make sure everyone in
the vehicle is properly buckled up.
WARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with tires
designed to provide safe ride and
handling capability. Do not use tires
and wheels that are different in size
and type from the originally
installed ones. It can affect the
safety and performance of your
vehicle, which could lead to steering
failure or rollover and serious injury.
When replacing the tires, be sure to
equip all four tires with the tire and
wheel of the same size, type, tread,
brand and load-carrying capacity.

Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle
to free it from snow, sand, or mud,
first turn the steering wheel right
and left to clear the area around
your front wheels. Then, shift back
and forth between R (Reverse) and
any forward gear.
Do not race the engine, and spin the
wheels as little as possible. If you
are still stuck after a few tries, have
the vehicle pulled out by a tow vehi
-
cle to avoid engine overheating and
possible damage to the transmis
-
sion.
WARNING
Sudden vehicle movement
Do not attempt to rock the vehicle if
people or objects are nearby. The
vehicle may suddenly move forward
or backwards as it becomes
unstuck.
CAUTION
Vehicle rocking
Prolonged rocking may cause vehicle
overheating, transmission damage
or failure, and tire damage.
CAUTION
Spinning tires
Do not spin the wheels, especially at
speeds more than 35 mph (56 km/
h). Spinning the wheels at high
speeds when the vehicle is station
-
ary could overheat and damage
tires, and the rotating wheels may
fly away and injure bystanders.
NOTICE
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) should be turned OFF prior to
rocking the vehicle.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
If you follow these suggestions, tire
wear will be held to a minimum.

Special driving conditions
Driving at night
Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight,
here are some important tips to
remember:
䳜 Slow down and keep more dis
-
tance between you and other
vehicles, as it may be more diffi
-
cult to see at night, especially in
areas where there may not be
any street lights.
䳜 Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other driver's head
-
lamps.
䳜 Keep your headlamps clean and
properly aimed. (On vehicles not
equipped with the automatic
headlamp aiming feature.) Dirty
or improperly aimed headlamps
will make it much more difficult to
see at night.
䳜 Avoid staring directly at the head
-
lamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and
it will take several seconds for
your eyes to readjust to the dark
-
ness.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you're not
prepared for the slick pavement.
Here are a few things to consider
when driving in the rain:
䳜 A heavy rainfall will make it
harder to see and will increase the
distance needed to stop your
vehicle, so slow down.
䳜 Keep your windshield wiping
equipment in good shape. Replace
your windshield wiper blades
when they show signs of streak
-
ing or missing areas on the wind
-
shield.
䳜 If your tires are not in good condi
-
tion, making a quick stop on wet
pavement can cause a skid and
possibly lead to an accident. Be
sure your tires are in good shape.
䳜 Turn on your headlamps to make
it easier for others to see you.
䳜 Driving too fast through large
puddles can affect your brakes. If
you must go through puddles, try
to drive through them slowly.

䳜 If you believe you may have got
-
ten your brakes wet, apply them
lightly while driving until normal
braking operation returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you
are going fast enough, your vehicle
may have little or no contact with
the road surface and actually ride
on the water. The best advice is
SLOW DOWN when the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases
as the depth of tire tread decreases,
refer to"Tires and wheels" on page
8-5.
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water
slowly. Allow adequate stopping dis
-
tance because brake performance
may be affected.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them
several times while the vehicle is
moving slowly.
Highway driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation pressures to
specification. Low tire inflation pres
-
sures will result in overheating and
possible failure of the tires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires
which may result in reduced traction
or tire failure.
Never exceed the maximum tire
inflation pressure shown on the
tires.
WARNING
Under/over inflated tires
Always check the tires for proper
inflation before driving. Underin
-
flated or overinflated tires can
cause poor handling, loss of vehicle
control, and sudden tire failure,
leading to accidents, injuries, and
even death. For proper tire pres

WARNING
Tire tread
Always check the tire tread before
driving your vehicle. Worn-out tires
can result in loss of vehicle control.
Worn-out tires should be replaced
as soon as possible. For further
information and tread limits, refer
to "Tires and wheels" on page 8-5.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
High speed travel consumes more
fuel than urban motoring. Do not
forget to check both the engine
coolant and engine oil.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
result in overheating of the engine.
Winter driving
Severe weather conditions in the
winter result in greater wear and
other problems.
To minimize the problems of winter
driving, you should follow these
suggestions:
Snowy or icy conditions
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tires
or to install tire chains on your tires.
If snow tires are needed, it is neces
-
sary to select tires equivalent in size
and type of the original equipment
tires. Failure to do so may adversely
affect the safety and handling of
your vehicle. Furthermore, speeding,
rapid acceleration, sudden brake
applications, and sharp turns are
potentially very hazardous prac
-
tices.
During deceleration, use vehicle
braking to the fullest extent. Sud
-
den brake applications on snowy or
icy roads may cause skids to occur.
You need to keep sufficient distance
between the vehicle in operation in
front of your vehicle. Also, apply the
brake gently. It should be noted that
installing tire chains on the tire will
provide a greater driving force, but
will not prevent side skids.
187

Driving your vehicle Winter driving
Tire chains are not legal in all states.
Check state laws before fitting tire
chains.
Snow tires
If you mount snow tires on your
vehicle, make sure they are radial
tires of the same size and load
range as the original tires. Mount
snow tires on all four wheels to bal
-
ance your vehicle's handling in all
weather conditions. Keep in mind
that the traction provided by snow
tires on dry roads may not be as
high as your vehicle's original equip
-
ment tires. You should drive cau
-
tiously even when the roads are
clear. Check with the tire dealer for
maximum speed recommendations.
Do not install studded tires without
first checking local, state and
municipal regulations for possible
restrictions against their use.
WARNING
Snow tire size
Snow tires should be equivalent in
size and type to the vehicle's stan
-
dard tires. Otherwise, the safety
and handling of your vehicle may be
adversely affected.
Tire chains
wire-type
fabric-type
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner, they can be damaged by
mounting some types of snow
chains on them. Therefore, the use
of snow tires is recommended
instead of snow chains. Do not
mount tire chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminum wheels;
snow chains may cause damage to
the wheels. If snow chains must be
used, use fabric-type chains for 19
inch tires or wire-type chains for 17

Winter driving
inch tires with a thickness of less
than 0.47 in (12 mm).
Damage to your vehicle caused by
improper snow chain use is not cov
-
ered by your vehicle manufacturers
warranty.
When using tire chains, attach them
to the drive wheels as follows.
䳜 Front wheel drive vehicle moves
the front wheel as a power
source. Thus, snow chains must
be mounted to front tires.
䳜 After mounting snow chains, drive
slowly. If you hear noise caused
by chains contacting the body,
slow down until the noise stops
and remove the chain as soon as
you begin driving on cleared roads
to prevent damage.
䳜 Wrong size chains or improperly
installed chains can damage your
vehicle's brake lines, suspension,
body and wheels. Therefore,
when installing snow chain, follow
the manufacturer's instructions
and mount them as tightly possi
-
ble. Drive slowly (less than 20
mph (30 km/h)) with chains
installed.
CAUTION
䳜 Make sure the snow chains are
the correct size and type for your
tires. Incorrect snow chains can
cause damage to the vehicle body
and suspension and may not be
covered by your vehicle manufac
-
turer warranty. Also, the snow
chain connecting hooks may be
damaged from contacting vehicle
components causing the snow
chains to come loose from the
tire. Make sure the snow chains
are SAE class "S" certified.
䳜 Always check chain installation for
proper mounting after driving
approximately 0.3 to 0.6 miles
(0.5 to 1 km) to ensure safe
mounting. Retighten or remount
the chains if they are loose.
䳜 Fabric-type chains must be used
on the vehicle with 19 inch (235/
55R19) tires.
Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because
it helps prevent corrosion in the
cooling system, lubricates the water
pump and prevents freezing. Be
sure to replace or replenish your
coolant in accordance with the
maintenance schedule in section 8.
Before winter, have your coolant
tested to assure that its freezing
point is sufficient for the tempera
-
tures anticipated during the winter.

Driving your vehicle Winter driving
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on
the battery system. Visually inspect
the battery and cables as described
in section 8. Have the level of charge
in your battery checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Change to "winter weight" oil if
necessary
In some climates it is recommended
that a lower viscosity "winter
weight" oil be used during cold
weather. See "Recommended lubri
-
cants and capacities" on page 8-6. If
you aren't sure what weight oil you
should use, consult an authorized
Kia dealer.
Check spark plugs and ignition sys
-
tem
Inspect your spark plugs as
described in "Scheduled mainte
-
nance service" on page 7-10 and
replace them if necessary. Also
check all ignition wiring and compo
-
nents to be sure they are not
cracked, worn or damaged in any
way.
To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing,
squirt an approved de-icer fluid or
glycerine into the key opening. If a
lock is covered with ice, squirt it with
an approved de-icing fluid to remove
the ice. If the lock is frozen inter
-
nally, you may be able to thaw it out
by using a heated key. Handle the
heated key with care to avoid injury.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze in system
To keep the water in the window
washer system from freezing, add
an approved window washer anti-
freeze solution in accordance with
instructions on the container. Win
-
dow washer anti-freeze is available
from an authorized Kia dealer and
most auto parts outlets. Do not use
engine coolant or other types of
anti-freeze as these may damage
the paint finish.
Don't let your parking brake freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to hap
-
pen when there is an accumulation
of snow or ice around or near the
rear brakes or if the brakes are wet.
If there is a risk the parking brake
may freeze, temporarily apply it
with the gear in P (Park). Also, block
the rear wheels in advance, so the
vehicle may not roll. Then release
the parking brake.

Don't let ice and snow accumulate
underneath
Under some conditions, snow and
ice can build up under the fenders
and interfere with the steering.
When driving in severe winter condi
-
tions where this may happen, you
should periodically check under
-
neath the vehicle to be sure the
movement of the front wheels and
the steering components is not
obstructed.
Carry emergency equipment
Depending on the severity of the
weather, you should carry appropri
-
ate emergency equipment. Some of
the items you may want to carry
include tire chains, tow straps or
chains, flashlight, emergency flares,
sand, shovel, jumper cables, window
scraper, gloves, ground cloth, cover
-
alls, blanket, etc.
Do not place objects or materials in
the engine compartment
Putting objects or materials in the
engine compartment may cause an
engine failure or combustion,
because they may block the engine
cooling. Such damage will not be
covered by the manufacturer's war
-
ranty.
Trailer towing
If you are considering towing with
your vehicle, you should first check
with your country's Department of
Motor Vehicles to determine their
legal requirements.
Since laws vary the requirements
for towing trailers, cars, or other
types of vehicles or apparatus may
differ. Kia recommends to ask an
authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
Towing a trailer
If you don't use the correct equip
-
ment and drive improperly, you can
lose control when you pull a trailer.
For example, if the trailer is too
heavy, the brakes may not work
well - or even at all. You and your
passengers could be seriously or
fatally injured. Pull a trailer only if
you have followed all the steps in
this section.
WARNING
Weight limits
Before towing, make sure the total
trailer weight, gross combination
weight, gross vehicle weight, gross
axle weight and trailer tongue load
are all within the limits.

tional load imposed at the trailer
coupling device may cause the
rear tire maximum load ratings to
be exceeded, but not by more
than 15%. In such a case, do not
exceed 60 miles (100km/h), and
the rear tire pressure should be at
least 0.2 bar (20 kPa) above the
tire pressure(s) as recommended
for normal use (i.e. without a
trailer attached).
CAUTION
Pulling a trailer improperly can
damage your vehicle and result in
costly repairs not covered by your
warranty. To pull a trailer correctly,
follow the advice in this section.
Your vehicle can tow a trailer. To
identify what the vehicle trailering
capacity is for your vehicle, refer to
"Weight of the trailer" on page 5-
198 that appears later in this sec
-
tion.
Remember that trailering is differ
-
ent than just driving your vehicle by
itself. Trailering means changes in
handling, durability, and fuel econ
-
omy. Successful, safe trailering
requires correct equipment, and it
has to be used properly.
Driving your vehicle
1925
Trailer towing
This section contains many
timetested, important trailering tips
and safety rules. Many of these are
important for your safety and that
of your passengers. Please read this
section carefully before you pull a
trailer.
Load-pulling components such as
the engine, transmission, wheel
assemblies, and tires are forced to
work harder against the load of the
added weight. The engine is
required to operate at relatively
higher speeds and under greater
loads. This additional burden gener
-
ates extra heat. The trailer also
considerably adds wind resistance,
increasing pulling requirements.
NOTICE
Location of trailer mounting
The mounting hole for hitches are
located on both sides of the under
-
body behind the rear tires.
Hitches
It's important to have the correct
hitch equipment. Crosswinds, large
trucks going by, and rough roads are
a few reasons why you'll need the
right hitch. Here are some rules to
follow:
䳜 Do you have to make any holes in
the body of your vehicle when you
install a trailer hitch? If you do,
then be sure to seal the holes
later when you remove the hitch.
If you don't seal them, deadly car
-
bon monoxide (CO) from your
exhaust can get into your vehicle,
as well as dirt and water.
䳜 The bumpers on your vehicle are
not intended for hitches. Do not
attach rental hitches or other
bumper-type hitches. Use only a
frame-mounted hitch that does
not attach to the bumper.
䳜 Kia trailer hitch accessory is avail
-
able at an authorized Kia dealer.
Safety chains
You should always attach chains
between your vehicle and your
trailer. Cross the safety chains
under the tongue of the trailer so
that the tongue will not drop to the
road if it becomes separated from
the hitch.
Instructions about safety chains
may be provided by the hitch manu

Driving your vehicle Trailer towing
turer. Follow the manufacturer's
recommendation for attaching
safety chains. Always leave just
enough slack so you can turn with
your trailer. And, never allow safety
chains drag on the ground.
Trailer brakes
If your trailer is equipped with a
braking system, make sure it con
-
forms to your country's regulations
and that it is properly installed and
operating correctly.
If your trailer weighs more than the
maximum trailer weight without
trailer brakes loaded, then it needs
its own brakes and they must be
adequate. Be sure to read and fol
-
low the instructions for the trailer
brakes so you'll be able to install,
adjust and maintain them properly.
䳜 Don't tap into your vehicle's brake
system.
WARNING
Trailer brakes
Do not use a trailer with its own
brakes unless you are absolutely
certain that you have properly set
up the brake system. This is not a
task for amateurs. Use an experi
-
enced, competent trailer shop for
this work.
Driving with a trailer
Towing a trailer requires a certain
amount of experience. Before set
-
ting out for the open road, you must
get to know your trailer. Acquaint
yourself with the feel of handling
and braking with the added weight
of the trailer. And always keep in
mind that the vehicle you are driving
is now a good deal longer and not
nearly so responsive as your vehicle
is by itself.
Before you start, check the trailer
hitch and platform, safety chains,
electrical connector(s), lights, tires
and mirror adjustment. If the trailer
has electric brakes, start your vehi
-
cle and trailer moving and then
apply the trailer brake controller by
hand to be sure the brakes are
working. This lets you check your
electrical connection at the same
time.
During your trip, check occasionally
to be sure that the load is secure,
and that the lights and trailer
brakes are still working.
Following distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the
vehicle ahead as you would when
driving your vehicle without a trailer.
This can help you avoid situations
that require heavy braking and sud
-
den turns.
Driving your vehicle
1945
Trailer towing
Passing
You'll need more passing distance up
ahead when you're towing a trailer.
And, because of the increased vehi
-
cle length, you'll need to go much
farther beyond the passed vehicle
before you can return to your lane.
Backing up
Hold the bottom of the steering
wheel with one hand. Then, to move
the trailer to the left, just move
your hand to the left. To move the
trailer to the right, move your hand
to the right. Always back up slowly
and, if possible, have someone guide
you.
Making turns
When you're turning with a trailer,
make wider turns than normal. Do
this so your trailer won't strike soft
shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees,
or other objects. Avoid jerky or sud
-
den maneuvers. Signal well in
advance.
Turn signals when towing a trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle
has to have a different turn signal
flasher and extra wiring. The green
arrows on your instrument panel
will flash whenever you signal a turn
or lane change. Properly connected,
the trailer lights will also flash to
alert other drivers you're about to
turn, change lanes, or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green
arrows on your instrument panel
will flash for turns even if the bulbs
on the trailer are burned out. Thus,
you may think drivers behind you
are seeing your signals when, in
fact, they are not. It's important to
check occasionally to be sure the
trailer bulbs are still working. You
must also check the lights every
time you disconnect and then
reconnect the wires.
Do not connect a trailer lighting sys
-
tem directly to your vehicle's light
-
ing system. Use only an approved
trailer wiring harness.
Have yourself assisted by a profes
-
sional workshop in installing the
wiring harness.
Kia recommends to visit an autho
-
rized Kia dealer.
WARNING
Failure to use an approved trailer
wiring harness could result in dam
-
age to the vehicle electrical system
and/or personal injury.
Driving on grades
Reduce the speed and shift to a
lower gear before you start down a
long or steep downgrade. If you
195
5
5
Driving your vehicle Trailer towing
don't shift down, you might have to
use your brakes so much that they
would get hot and no longer operate
efficiently.
On a long uphill grade, shift down
and reduce your speed to around 45
mph (70 km/h) to reduce the possi
-
bility of engine and transmission
overheating.
CAUTION
䳜 When towing a trailer on steep
grades (in excess of 6 %) pay
close attention to the engine
coolant temperature gauge to
ensure the engine does not over
-
heat. If the needle of the coolant
temperature gauge moves across
the dial towards "H (HOT) (or 260
F/130 C)", pull over and stop as
soon as it is safe to do so, and
allow the engine to idle until it
cools down. You may proceed
once the engine has cooled suffi
-
ciently.
䳜 You must decide the driving speed
depending on trailer weight and
uphill grade to reduce the possi
-
bility of engine and transmission
overheating.
Parking on hills
Generally, if you have a trailer
attached to your vehicle, you should
not park your vehicle on a hill. Peo
-
ple can be seriously or fatally
injured, and both your vehicle and
the trailer can be damaged if unex
-
pectedly roll down hill.
WARNING
Parking on a hill
Parking your vehicle on a hill with a
trailer attached could cause serious
injury or death, should the trailer
break loose.
However, if you ever have to park
your trailer on a hill, here's how to
do it:
1. Pull the vehicle into the parking
space. Turn the steering wheel in
the direction of the curb (right if
headed down hill, left if headed up
hill).
2. Set the parking brake and shut off
the vehicle.
3. Place chocks under the trailer
wheels on the down hill side of
the wheels.
4. Start the vehicle, hold the brakes,
shift to neutral, release the park
-
ing brake and slowly release the
brakes until the trailer chocks
absorb the load.
5. Reapply the brakes, reapply the
parking brake.
Driving your vehicle
1965

6. Shut off the vehicle and release
the vehicle brakes but leave the
parking brake set.
WARNING
Parking brake
It can be dangerous to get out of
your vehicle if the parking brake is
not firmly set.
If you have left the engine running,
the vehicle can move suddenly. You
or others could be seriously or
fatally injured.
When you are ready to leave after
parking on a hill
1. Apply your brakes and hold the
brake pedal down while you:
䳜 Start your engine;
䳜 Shift into gear; and
䳜 Release the parking brake.
2. Slowly remove your foot from the
brake pedal.
3. Drive slowly until the trailer is
clear of the chocks.
4. Stop and have someone pick up
and store the chocks.
Maintenance when trailer towing
Your vehicle will need service more
often when you regularly pull a
trailer. Important items to pay par
-
ticular attention to include engine
oil, axle lubricant and cooling system
fluid. Brake condition is another
important item to frequently check.
Each item is covered in this manual,
and the Index will help you find
them quickly. If you're trailering, it's
a good idea to review these sections
before you start your trip.
Don't forget to also maintain your
trailer and hitch. Follow the mainte
-
nance schedule that accompanied
your trailer and check it periodically.
Preferably, conduct the check at the
start of each day's driving. Most
importantly, all hitch nuts and bolts
should be tight.
CAUTION
䳜 Due to higher load during trailer
usage, overheating might occur in
hot days or during uphill driving. If
the coolant gauge indicates over
-
heating, switch off the A/C and
stop the vehicle in a safe area to
cool down the engine.
䳜 When towing, check the trans
-
mission fluid more frequently.
䳜 If your vehicle is not equipped
with an air conditioner, you should
install a condenser fan to improve
engine performance when towing
a trailer.

Driving your vehicle Trailer towing
If you do decide to pull a trailer
Here are some important points if
you decide to pull a trailer:
䳜 Consider using a sway control.
You can ask a hitch dealer about
sway control.
䳜 Do not do any towing with your
vehicle during its first 1,200 miles
(2,000 km) in order to allow the
engine to properly break in. Fail
-
ure to heed this caution may
result in serious engine or trans
-
mission damage.
䳜 When towing a trailer, consult an
authorized Kia dealer on addi
-
tional requirements such as a
towing kit, etc.
䳜 Always drive your vehicle at a
moderate speed (less than 60
mph (100 km/h)).
䳜 On a long uphill grade, do not
exceed 45 mph (70 km/h) or the
posted towing speed limit, which
-
ever is lower.
䳜 The chart contains important
considerations that have to do
with weight:

Trailer towing
Weight of the trailer
A: Tongue Load
B: Total Trailer Weight
What is the maximum safe weight
of a trailer? It should never weigh
more than the maximum trailer
weight with trailer brakes. But even
that can be too heavy.
It depends on how you plan to use
your trailer. For example, speed,
altitude, road grades, outside tem
-
perature and how often your vehicle
is used to pull a trailer are all
important. The ideal trailer weight
can also depend on any special
equipment that you have on your
vehicle.
Weight of the trailer tongue
A: Gross Axle Weight
B: Gross Vehicle Weight
The tongue load of any trailer is an
important weight to measure
because it affects the total gross
vehicle weight (GVW) of your vehi
-
cle. This weight includes the curb
weight of the vehicle, any cargo you
may carry in it, and the people who
will be riding in the vehicle. And if
you tow a trailer, you must add the
tongue load to the GVW because
your vehicle will also be carrying
that weight.
The trailer tongue should weigh a
maximum of 10 % of the total
loaded trailer weight, within the lim
-
its of the maximum trailer tongue
load permissible.
After you've loaded your trailer,
weigh the trailer and then the
tongue, separately, to see if the
weights are proper. If they aren't,
you may be able to correct them

WARNING
Trailer
䳜 Never load a trailer with more
weight in the rear than in the
front. The front should be loaded
with approximately 60% of the
total trailer load; the rear should
be loaded with approximately
40% of the total trailer load.
䳜 Never exceed the maximum
weight limits of the trailer or
trailer towing equipment.
Improper loading can result in
damage to your vehicle and/or
personal injury. Check weights
and loading at a commercial scale
or highway patrol office equipped
with scales.
䳜 An improperly loaded trailer can
cause loss of vehicle control.
Vehicle load limit
The vehicle load limit is displayed on
the tire and loading information
label on the driver's door.
Tire and loading information label
The label located on the driver's

ple that can be in your vehicle and
vehicle capacity weight.
Example for spare tire
Vehicle capacity weight:
䳜 7 seats: 1,157 lbs. (525 kg)
䳜 8 seats: 1,323 lbs. (600 kg)
Vehicle capacity weight is the maxi

Vehicle load limit
Seating capacity:
Total: 7/8 persons (Front seat: 2
persons, Rear seat: 5/6 persons)
Seating capacity is the maximum
number of occupants including a
driver, your vehicle may carry.
However, the seating capacity may
be reduced based upon the weight
of all of the occupants, and the
weight of the cargo being carried or
towed.
Do not overload the vehicle as there
is a limit to the total weight, or load
limit including occupants and cargo,
the vehicle can carry.
Towing capacity:
We do not recommend using this
vehicle for trailer towing.
Cargo capacity:
The cargo capacity of your vehicle
will increase or decrease depending
on the weight and the number of
occupants.
Steps For Determining Correct Load
Limit -
1. Locate the statement "The com
-
bined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX kg
or XXX lbs.'' on your vehicle's plac
-
ard.
2. Determine the combined weight
of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of
the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs..
4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For exam
-
ple, if the "XXX" amount equals
1400 lbs. and there will be five
150 lbs. passengers in your vehi
-
cle, the amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is 650
lbs.. (1400-750 (5x150) = 650
lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight
of luggage and cargo being loaded
on the vehicle. That weight may
not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer will
be transferred to your vehicle.
Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
of your vehicle.
WARNING
Loose cargo
Do not travel with unsecured blunt
objects in the passenger compart
-
ment of your vehicle (e.g., suit cases
or unsecured child seats). These
items may strike occupant during a
sudden stop or crash.

Certification label
The certification label is located on
the driver's door sill at the center
pillar.
This label shows the maximum
allowable weight of the fully loaded
vehicle. This is called the GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The
GVWR includes the weight of the
vehicle, all occupants and cargo.
This label also tells you the maxi
-
mum weight that can be supported
by the front and rear axles, called
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
To find out the actual loads on your
front and rear axles, you need to go
to a weigh station and weigh your
vehicle. Your dealer can help you
with this. Be sure to spread out your
load equally on both sides of the
centerline.
WARNING
Over loading
Never exceed the GVWR for your
vehicle, the GAWR for either the
front or rear axle and vehicle capac
-
ity weight. Exceeding these ratings
can affect your vehicle's handling
and braking ability.
The label will help you decide how
much cargo and installed equip
-
ment your vehicle can carry.
If you carry items inside your vehicle
- like suitcases, tools, packages, or
anything else - they are moving as
fast as the vehicle. If you have to
stop or turn quickly, or if there is a
crash, the items will keep going and
can cause an injury if they strike the
driver or a passenger.
WARNING
Over loading
Do not overload your vehicle. Over

Emergency starting
Emergency starting
When the vehicle will not start
because of low battery power, you
may need to jump start the vehicle.
Jump-starting
Connect cables in numerical order
and disconnect in reverse order.
Jump-starting can be dangerous if
done incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid
harm to yourself or damage to your
vehicle or battery, follow these
jump-starting procedures. If in
doubt, we strongly recommend that
you have a competent technician or
towing service jump-start your
vehicle.
CAUTION
Use only a 12-volt jumper system.
You can damage a 12-volt starting
motor, ignition system, and other
electrical parts beyond repair by use
of a 24- volt power supply (either
two 12-volt batteries in series or a
24-volt motor generator set).
WARNING
Frozen batteries
Do not attempt to jump start the
vehicle if the discharged battery is
frozen, as the battery may rupture
or explode.
WARNING
Battery
䳜 Never attempt to check the elec
-
trolyte level of the battery, as
this may cause the battery to
rupture or explode.
䳜 Keep all flames or sparks away
from the battery. The battery
produces hydrogen gas which
may explode if exposed to flame
or sparks.
If these instructions are not fol
-
lowed exactly, serious personal
injury and damage to the vehicle
may occur! If you are not sure
how to follow this procedure, seek
qualified assistance. Automobile
batteries contain sulfuric acid.
This is poisonous and highly cor
-
rosive. When jump starting, wear
protective glasses and be careful
not to get acid on yourself, your
clothing or on the vehicle.

page 6-6.
WARNING
Tow starting vehicle
Never tow a vehicle to start it.
When the engine starts, the vehicle
can suddenly surge forward and
could cause a collision with the tow
vehicle.
If the engine overheats
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss
of power, or hear a loud pinging or
knocking, the engine will probably be
too hot.
If this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon
as it is safe to do so.
2. Shift the gear to P (Park) and set
the parking brake.
3. If the air conditioning is on, turn it
off.
4. If engine coolant is running out
under the vehicle or steam is
coming out from underneath the
hood, stop the engine. Do not
open the hood until the coolant
has stopped running or the
steaming has stopped.
5. If there is no visible loss of engine
coolant and no steam, leave the
engine running and check to be
sure the engine cooling fan is
operating.
1)If the fan is not running, turn
the engine off.
6. Check to see if the water pump
drive belt is missing.
1)If it is not missing, check to see
that it is tight.
2)If the drive belt seems to be
satisfactory, check for coolant
leaking from the radiator, hoses
or under the vehicle. (If the air

pressure telltale when one or more
of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehi
-
cle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte
-
nance, and it is the driver's respon
-
sibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger illu
-
mination of the TPMS low tire pres
-
sure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator
to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal
-
function indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approxi
-
mately one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subse
-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replace
-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function prop
-
erly.

rized Kia dealer.
1. The low tire pressure telltale/
TPMS malfunction indicator does
not illuminate for 3 seconds when
the ENGINE START/STOP button
is turned to the ON position or
engine is running.
2. The TPMS malfunction indicator
remains illuminated after blinking
for approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low tire pressure position

When the TPMS warning indicators
are illuminated, one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated.
If the telltale illuminates, immedi
-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos
-
sible.
Inflate the tires to the proper pres
-
sure as indicated on the vehicle's
placard or tire inflation pressure
label located on the driver's side
center pillar outer panel. If you can
-
not reach a service station or if the
tire cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tire with
the spare tire.
Then the TPMS malfunction indica
-
tor and the Low Tire Pressure tell
-
tale may turn on and illuminate
after restarting and about 20 min

utes of continuous driving before
you have the low pressure tire
repaired and replaced on the vehicle.
In winter or cold weather, the low
tire pressure telltale may be illumi
-
nated if the tire pressure was
adjusted to the recommended tire
inflation pressure in warm weather.
It does not mean your TPMS is mal
-
functioning because the decreased
temperature leads to a proportional
lowering of tire pressure.
You should check the tire inflation
pressure and adjust the tires to the
recommended tire inflation pressure
when driving your vehicle in the fol
-
lowing conditions.

mately one minute when there is a
problem with the TPMS.
If the system is able to correctly
detect an underinflation warning at
the same time as system failure, it
will illuminate both the TPMS mal
-
function and the low tire pressure
position telltales. For example, if the
Front Left sensor fails, the TPMS
malfunction indicator illuminates,
but if the Front Right, Rear Left, or
Rear Right tire is underinflated, the
low tire pressure position telltales
may illuminate together with the
TPMS malfunction indicator.
Have the system checked by an
authorized Kia dealer as soon as
possible to determine the cause of
the problem.
䳜 The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if the vehicle is
moving around electric power
supply cables or radios transmit

Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You
must use TPMS specific wheels.
Have always your tires serviced by
an authorized Kia dealer.
Even if you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will remain on until
the low pressure tire is repaired and
placed on the vehicle.
After you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the TPMS
malfunction indicator may illumi

vated.
Once the low pressure tire is inflated
again to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or the
TPMS sensor mounted on the
replaced spare wheel is initiated by
a professional workshop, the TPMS
malfunction indicator and the low
tire pressure telltale will turn off
within a few minutes of driving.
If the indicator has not disappeared
after a few minutes of driving,
please visit an authorized Kia dealer.
If an original mounted tire is
replaced with the spare tire, the
TPMS sensor on the replaced spare
wheel should be initiated and the
TPMS sensor on the original
mounted wheel should be deacti

vated. If the TPMS sensor on the
original mounted wheel located in
the spare tire carrier still activates,
the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys
-
tem may not operate properly. Have
the tire with TPMS serviced or
replaced by an authorized Kia dealer.
You may not be able to identify a
low tire by simply looking at it.
Always use a good quality tire pres
-
sure gauge to measure the tire's
inflation pressure. Please note that
a tire that is hot (from being driven)
will have a higher pressure mea
-
surement than a tire that is cold
(from sitting stationary for at least
3 hours and driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km) during that 3 hour period).
Allow the tire to cool before mea

WARNING
Installing a wheel
䳜 When you install a wheel, always
remove any corrosion, dirt or for
-
eign materials present on the
mounting surfaces of the wheel
or the surface of the wheel hub,
brake drum or brake disc that
contacts the wheel. Make sure to
secure any fasteners that attach
the rotor to the hub so they do
not interfere with the mounting
surfaces of the wheel. Installing
wheels without correct metal-to-
metal contact at the wheel
mounting surfaces can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the
wheel to come off while your
vehicle is in motion, resulting in
loss of vehicle control, personal
injury or death.
䳜 Make sure the wheel makes good
contact with the hub when
installed. If the contact of the
mounting surface between the
wheel and hub is not good, the
wheel nuts could come loose and
cause the loss of a wheel. Loss of
a wheel may result in loss of con
-
trol of the vehicle.

the tire. If you lose a valve cap, buy
another and install it as soon as
possible.
After you have changed wheels,
always secure the flat tire in its
place and return the jack and tools
to their proper storage locations.
CAUTION
Reusing lug nuts
Make certain during wheel removal
that the same nuts that were
removed are reinstalled - or, if
replaced, that nuts with metric
threads and the same chamfer con
-
figuration are used. Your vehicle has
metric threads on the wheel studs
and nuts. Installation of a non-met
-
ric thread nut on a metric stud will
not secure the wheel to the hub
properly and will damage the stud
so that it must be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do not have
metric threads. Be sure to use
extreme care in checking for thread
style before installing aftermarket
lug nuts or wheels. If in doubt, con
-
sult an authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
Wheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they may
lose their ability to retain the wheel.
This could lead to the loss of the
wheel and a collision resulting in
serious injuries.
WARNING
Never use oil or grease on bolts or
nuts because the nuts might come
loose. The vehicle's wheel could fall
off, causing a crash.
Important - use of compact spare
tire (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a com
-
pact spare tire. This compact spare
tire takes up less space than a regu
-
lar-size tire. This tire is smaller than

for temporary use only.
䳜 You should drive carefully when
the compact spare is in use. The
compact spare should be replaced
by the proper conventional tire
and rim at the first opportunity.

What to do in an emergency If you have a flat tire (with spare tire)
䳜 The operation of this vehicle is
not recommended with more than
one compact spare tire in use at
the same time.
WARNING
Spare tire
The compact spare tire is for emer
-
gency use only. Do not operate your
vehicle on this compact spare at
speeds over 50 mph (80 km/h). The
original tire should be repaired or
replaced as soon as possible to avoid
failure of the spare, possibly leading
to bodily injury or death.
The compact spare should be
inflated to 60 psi (420 kPa).
NOTICE
Check the inflation pressure after
installing the spare tire. Adjust it to
the specified pressure, as neces
-
sary.
When using a compact spare tire,
observe the following precautions:
䳜 Under no circumstances should
you exceed 50 mph (80 km/h); a
higher speed could damage the
tire.
䳜 Ensure that you drive slowly
enough for the road conditions to
avoid all hazards. Any road haz
-
ard, such as a pothole or debris,
could seriously damage the com
-
pact spare.
䳜 Any continuous road use of this
tire could result in tire failure, loss
of vehicle control, and possible
personal injury.
䳜 Do not exceed the vehicle's maxi
-
mum load rating or the load-car
-
rying capacity shown on the
sidewall of the compact spare
tire.
䳜 Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately 1
inch (25 mm), which could result
in damage to the vehicle.
䳜 Do not take this vehicle through
an automatic vehicle wash while
the compact spare tire is installed.
䳜 Do not use tire chains on the
compact spare tire. Because of
the smaller size, a tire chain will
not fit properly. This could dam
-
age the vehicle and result in loss
of the chain.
䳜 Do not use the compact spare tire
on any other vehicle because this
tire has been designed especially
for your vehicle.
䳜 The compact spare tire's tread life
is shorter than a regular tire.
Inspect your compact spare tire
regularly and replace worn com
-
pact spare tires with the same
size and design, mounted on the
same wheel.
What to do in an emergency
266
If you have a flat tire (with spare tire)
䳜 The compact spare tire should not
be used on any other wheels, nor
should standard tires, snow tires,

If towing is necessary, have it done
by an authorized Kia dealer or a
commercial tow truck service.
If towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency
towing hook under the front (or
rear) of the vehicle. Use extreme
caution when towing the vehicle. A
driver must be in the vehicle to
steer it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speed.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.
䳜 Do not use the tow hooks to pull a
vehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its
own power.
䳜 Avoid towing a vehicle heavier
than the vehicle doing the towing.
䳜 The drivers of both vehicles
should communicate with each
other frequently.
CAUTION
䳜 Attach a towing strap to the tow
hook.
䳜 Using a portion of the vehicle
other than the tow hooks for
towing may damage the body of
your vehicle.
䳜 Use only a cable or chain specifi
-
cally intended for use in towing
vehicles. Securely fasten the cable
or chain to the towing hook pro

Engine oil
Engine oil
Checking the engine oil level
䳜 Engine oil is used for lubrication
and cooling, so it is gradually con
-
sumed during driving the vehicle.
䳜 Regularly check and manage the
oil level using the following proce
-
dure.
1. Be sure the vehicle is on level
ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to
reach normal operating tempera
-
ture.
3. Turn the engine off and wait for
about 15 minutes (with oil filler
cap and dipstick detached) for the
oil to return to the oil pan.
4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean,
and re-insert it fully.
WARNING
Radiator hose
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking or
adding the engine oil as it may be
hot enough to burn you.
5. Pull the dipstick out again and
check the level. Check if the oil
level is between the F-L line and
must refill it if the oil level is
below the L line.
CAUTION
䳜 Do not overfill the engine oil. It
may damage the engine.
䳜 Do not spill engine oil, when add
-
ing or changing engine oil. If you

Maintenance Tires and wheels
Tires and wheels
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain the recommended
tire inflation pressures and stay
within the load limits and weight
distribution recommended for your
vehicle.
Recommended cold tire inflation
pressures
All tire pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold. "Cold Tires"
means the vehicle has not been
driven for at least three hours or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, vehicle
handling, and minimum tire wear.
For recommended inflation pres
-
sure, refer to "Tires and wheels" on
page 7-37.
All specifications (sizes and pres
-
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the driver's side center
pillar.
WARNING
Tire underinflation
Inflate your tires consistent with
the instructions provided in this
manual. Regularly check the tire
inflation pressure, and correct it as
needed; at least twice a month and
before any long trips on the road. If
you fail to observe this precaution,
you may be driving on underinflated
tires, which may not only compro
-
mise your vehicle's driving stability,
but may also lead to tire damage
and the risk of an accident. This risk
is much higher on hot days and
when driving for long periods at high
speeds.
Failure to maintain specified pres
-
sure may result in excessive wear,
poor handling, reduced fuel econ
-
omy, deformation of tire and/or
wheel, harsh ride conditions, possi
-
bility for additional damage from
road hazards, or result in tire failure.

Tires and wheels
Tire pressure
Always observe the following:
䳜 Check tire pressure when the tires
are cold. (After vehicle has been
parked for at least three hours or
hasn't been driven more than 1
mile (1.6 km) since startup.)
䳜 Check the pressure of your spare
tire each time you check the pres
-
sure of other tires. (if equipped)
䳜 Never overload your vehicle. Be
careful not to overload a vehicle
luggage rack if your vehicle is
equipped with one.
䳜 Warm tires normally exceed rec
-
ommended cold tire pressures by
4 ~ 6 psi (28 ~ 41 kPa). Do not
release air from warm tires to
adjust the pressure or the tires
will be underinflated.
WARNING
Tire Inflation
Overinflation or underinflation can
reduce tire life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to sudden
tire failure. This could result in loss
of vehicle control and potential
injury.
Checking tire inflation pressure
Check your tires once a month or
more.
Use a good quality gauge to check
tire pressure. You cannot tell if your
tires are properly inflated simply by
looking at them. Radial tires may
look properly inflated even when
they're underinflated.
Check the tire's inflation pressure
when the tires are cold. "Cold"
means your vehicle has been sitting
or at least three hours or driven no
more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
1. Remove the valve cap from the
tire valve stem.
2. Press the tire gauge firmly onto
the valve to get a pressure mea
-
surement. If the cold tire inflation
pressure matches the recom
-
mended pressure on the tire and
loading information label, no fur
-
ther adjustment is necessary.
3. If the pressure is low, add air until
you reach the recommended
amount.
4. If you overfill the tire, release air
by pushing on the metal stem in
the center of the tire valve.
5. Recheck the tire pressure with
the tire gauge.
6. Be sure to put the valve caps back
on the valve stems. They help
prevent leaks by keeping out dirt
and moisture.
Inspect your tires frequently for
proper inflation as well as wear and
damage. Always use a tire pressure
gauge.
Tires with too much or too little
pressure wear unevenly. This could
result in poor handling, loss of vehi
-
cle control, and sudden tire failure

Maintenance Tires and wheels
leading to accidents, injuries, and
even death. The recommended cold
tire pressure for your vehicle can be
found in this manual and on the tire
label located on the driver's side
center pillar.
Tire rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is recom
-
mended that the tires be rotated
every 8,000 miles (13,000 km) or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
During rotation, check the tires for
correct balance.
When rotating tires, check for
uneven wear and damage. Abnormal
wear is usually caused by incorrect
tire pressure, improper wheel align
-
ment, out of-balance wheels, severe
braking or severe cornering. Look
for bumps or bulges in the tread or
side of tire. Replace the tire if you
find either of these conditions.
Replace the tire if fabric or cord is
visible. After rotation, be sure to
bring the front and rear tire pres
-
sures to specification and check lug
nut tightness. (proper torque is 79 ~
94 lbfft [11 ~ 13 kgfm])
Refer to "Tires and wheels" on page
7-37.
Disc brake pads should be inspected
for wear whenever tires are
rotated.

Directional tires (if equipped)
Rotate radial tires that have an
asymmetric tread pattern only from
front to rear and not from right to

WARNING
Mixing tires
Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tires under any circumstances. This
may cause unusual handling charac
-
teristics.
Wheel alignment and tire balance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire
life and best overall performance.

Tires and wheels
If you notice unusual tire wear or
your vehicle pulling one way or the
other, the alignment may need to be
reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road,
your wheels may need to be rebal
-
anced.
CAUTION
Wheel weight
Improper wheel weights can dam
-
age your vehicle's aluminum wheels.
Use only approved wheel weights.
Tire replacement
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread
wear indicator will appear as a solid
band across the tread.
[A]: Tread wear indicator
This shows there is less than 1/16 in
(1.6 mm) of tread left on the tire.
Replace the tire when this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before
replacing the tire.
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
works by comparing the speed of
the wheels. The tire size affects
wheel speed. When replacing tires,
all 4 tires must use the same size
originally supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can
cause the ABS and Electronic Stabil
-
ity Control (ESC) to work irregularly.
It is best to replace all four tires at
the same time. If that is not possi
-
ble, or necessary, then replace the
two front or two rear tires as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can seriously
affect your vehicle's handling.
NOTICE
We recommend that when replac
-
ing tires, use the same originally
supplied with the vehicles. If not,
that affects driving performance.
Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels
for any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width
and offset.
A wheel with an incorrect size may
adversely affect many things: wheel
and bearing life, braking and stop

Tire traction
Tire traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tires, tires that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces.
Tires should be replaced when tread
wear indicators appear. Slow down
whenever there is rain, snow or ice
on the road to reduce the possibility
of losing control of the vehicle.
Tire maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, cor
-
rect wheel alignment helps to
decrease tire wear.
If you find a tire is worn unevenly,
have your dealer check the wheel
alignment.
Make sure the newly installed tires
are balanced correctly to increase
vehicle ride comfort and tire life. In
addition, always rebalance the tire
when the tire is removed from the
wheel.
Tire sidewall labeling
This information identifies and

mum permissible inflation pressure.
Refer to "Certification label" on page
5-202 for recommended inflation
pressure.
6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds that
can be carried by the tire. When
replacing the tires on the vehicle,
always use a tire that has the same
load rating as the factory installed
tire.
7. Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tire sidewall
between tread shoulder and maxi
-
mum section width.
For example:
䳜 Treadwear 200
䳜 Traction AA
䳜 Temperature A
Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used. Regardless
of the remaining tread, we recom
-
mend that tires be replaced after
approximately six (6) years of nor
-
mal service. Heat caused by hot cli
-
mate or frequent high loading
conditions can accelerate the aging
process.
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a compara
-
tive rating based on the wear rate
of the tire when tested under con
-
Maintenance
447
Tires and wheels
trolled conditions on a specified
government test course. For exam
-
ple, a tire graded 150 would wear
one-and-a-half times (1) as well
on the government course as a tire
graded 100.
The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions
of their use. Performance may
depart significantly from the norm
due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
These grades are molded on the
side-walls of passenger vehicle
tires. The tires available as standard
or optional equipment on your vehi
-
cle may vary with respect to grade.
Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those
grades represent the tire's ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on spec
-
ified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked
C may have poor traction perfor
-
mance.
The traction grade assigned to this
tire is based on straight-ahead
braking traction tests, and does not
include acceleration, cornering,
hydroplaning, or peak traction char
-
acteristics.
Temperature -A, B & C
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade C cor
-
responds to a level of performance
which all passenger vehicle tires
must meet under the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the labo

tions.
All season tires are identified by ALL
SEASON and/or M+S (Mud and
Snow) on the tire sidewall. Snow
tires have better snow traction than
all season tires and may be more
appropriate in some areas.
Summer tires
Kia specifies summer tires on some
models to provide superior perfor
-
mance on dry roads.
Summer tire performance is sub
-
stantially reduced in snow and ice.
Summer tires do not have the tire
traction rating M+S (Mud and Snow)
on the tire side wall. if you plan to
operate your vehicle in snowy or icy
conditions, Kia recommends the use
of snow tires or all season tires on
all four wheels.
Snow tires
If you equip your vehicle with snow
tires, they should be the same size
and have the same load capacity as
the original tires.
Snow tires should be installed on all
four wheels; otherwise, poor han
-
dling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28
kPa) more air pressure than the
pressure recommended for the
standard tires on the tire label on
the driver's side of the center pillar,
or up to the maximum pressure
shown on the tire sidewall, which
-
ever is less.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph
(120 km/h) when your vehicle is
equipped with snow tires.
Maintenance
487
Tires and wheels
WARNING
Do not use summer tires at tem
-
peratures below 45 F (7 C) or
when driving on snow or ice. At
temperatures below 45 F (7 C),
summer tires can lose elasticity, and
therefore traction and braking
power as well. Change the tires on
your vehicle to winter or all-
weather tires of the same size as
the standard tires of the vehicle.
Both types of tires are identified by
the M+S (Mud and Snow) marking.
Using summer tires at very cold
temperatures could cause cracks to
form, thereby damaging the tires
permanently.
Tire chains
Tire chains, if necessary, should be
installed on the front wheels.
Be sure that the chains are installed
in accordance with the manufac
-
turer's instructions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do
not continue to use tire chains when
they are no longer needed.
䳜 When driving on roads covered
with snow or ice, drive at speeds
less than 20 mph (30 km/h).
䳜 Use the SAE "S" class or wire
chains.
䳜 If you hear noise caused by chains
contacting the body, retighten the
chain to avoid contact with the
vehicle body.
䳜 To prevent body damage,
retighten the chains after driving
0.3 ~ 0.6 miles (0.5 ~ 1.0 km).
䳜 Do not use tire chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminum wheels.
In unavoidable circumstance, use
a wire type chain.
䳜 Use wire chains less than 0.47
inches (12 mm) to prevent dam
-
age to the chain's connection.
Radial-ply tires
Radial-ply tires provide improved
tread life, road hazard resistance
and smoother high speed ride.
The radial-ply tires used on this
vehicle are of belted construction,
and are selected to complement the
ride and handling characteristics of
your vehicle. Radial-ply tires have
the same load carrying capacity, as
bias-ply or bias belted tires of the
same size, and use the same rec
-
ommended inflation pressure.
Mixing of radial-ply tires with bias-
ply or bias belted tires is not recom
-
mended. Any combinations of
radial-ply and bias-ply or bias
belted tires when used on the same
vehicle will seriously deteriorate
vehicle handling. The best rule to
follow is: Identical radial-ply tires
should always be used as a set of
four.

foil instead of the proper fuse -
even as a temporary repair. It
may cause extensive wiring dam
-
age and a possible fire.
䳜 Do not arbitrarily modify or add-
on electric wiring to the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove fuses
because it may cause a short circuit
and damage the system.

Maintenance Light bulbs
Light bulbs
Light bulbs are installed in various
parts of the vehicle to provide light
-
ing inside and outside the vehicle as
well as to alert other vehicles.
Bulb replacement precaution
Please keep extra bulbs on hand
with appropriate wattage ratings in
case of emergencies.
Refer to "Bulb wattage" on page 8-
4.
When changing lamps, first turn off
the vehicle at a safe place, firmly
apply the parking brake and detach
the battery's negative (-) terminal.
WARNING
Working on the lights
Prior to working on the light, firmly
apply the parking brake, ensure that
turn the ignition switch or ENGINE
START/STOP button and turn off
the lights to avoid sudden move
-
ment of the vehicle and burning
your fingers or receiving an electric
shock.
Use only bulbs of the specified
wattage.
CAUTION
Light replacement
Be sure to replace the burned-out
bulb with one of the same wattage
rating. Otherwise, it may cause
damage to the fuse or electric wir
-
ing system.
Fully install light bulbs and any parts
used to secure them. Failure to do
so may result in heat damage, fire,
or water entering the headlamp
unit. This may damage the head
-
lamps or cause condensation to
build up on the lens. To prevent
damage or fire, make sure bulbs are
fully seated and locked.
CAUTION
Headlamp lens
To prevent damage, do not clean the
headlamp lens with chemical sol
-
vents or strong detergents.
NOTICE
䳜 If the light bulb or lamp connector
is removed while the lamp is still
on, the fuse box's electronic sys
-
tem may log it as a malfunction.
Therefore, a lamp malfunction
incident may be recorded as a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in
the fuse box.
䳜 It is normal for an operating lamp
to flicker momentarily. This is due
Maintenance
627
Light bulbs
to a stabilization function of the
vehicle's electronic control device.
If the lamp lights up normally
after momentarily blinking, then
it is functioning as normal.
However, if the lamp continues to
flicker several times or turns off
completely, there may be an error
in the vehicle's electronic control
device. Please have the vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia
dealer immediately.
NOTICE
Have the headlamp aiming adjusted
by an authorized Kia dealer after an
accident or after the headlamp
assembly is reinstalled.
NOTICE
You can find moisture inside the lens
of lamps after a car wash or driving
in the rain. It is a natural event
caused by the temperature differ
-
ence between the inside and the
outside of the lamp and does not
mean there is a problem with its
functions. The moisture inside the
lamp would disappear if you drive
the vehicle with the headlamp
turned on. However, the level at
which the moisture is removed may
differ depending on the size/loca
-
tion/condition of the lamp. If the
moisture continues to stay inside
the lamp, have the vehicle checked
by an authorized Kia dealer.
If you don't have the necessary
tools, the correct bulbs and the
expertise, consult an authorized Kia
dealer. In many cases, it is difficult
to replace vehicle light bulbs
because other parts of the vehicle
must be removed before you can
get to the bulb. This is especially
true if you have to remove the
headlamp assembly to get to the
bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlamp
assembly can result in damage to
the vehicle. If non-genuine parts or
substandard bulbs are used, it may
lead to blowing a fuse or other wir
-
ing damages.
Do not install extra lamps or LEDs to
the vehicle. If additional lights are
installed, it may lead to lamp mal
-
functions and flickering. Addition
-
ally, the fuse box and other wiring
may be damaged.

Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle's finish
from rust and deterioration, wash it
thoroughly and frequently at least
once a month with lukewarm or cold
water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road
driving, you should wash it after
each off-road trip. Pay special
attention to the removal of any
accumulation of salt, dirt, mud, and
other foreign materials. Make sure
the drain holes in the lower edges of
the doors and rocker panels are
kept clear and clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar
deposits can damage your vehicle's
finish if not removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain
water may not comspletely remove
all these deposits. A mild soap, safe
for use on painted surfaces, may be
used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle
thoroughly with lukewarm or cold
water. Do not allow soap to dry on
the finish.
After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking performance is impaired,
dry the brakes by applying them
lightly while maintaining a slow for
-
ward speed.
CAUTION
䳜 Do not use strong soap, chemical
detergents or hot water, and do
not wash the vehicle in direct sun
-
light or when the body of the
vehicle is warm.
䳜 Be careful when washing the side
windows of your vehicle, espe
-
cially with high-pressure water.
Water may leak through the win
-
dows and wet the interior.
䳜 To prevent damage to the plastic
parts and lamps, do not clean with
chemical solvents or strong

promptly. Exposed metal will quickly
rust and may develop into a major
repair expense.
NOTICE
If your vehicle is damaged and
requires any metal repair or
replacement, be sure the body shop
applies anti-corrosion materials to
the parts repaired or replaced.
Bright-metal maintenance
To remove road tar and insects, use
a tar remover, not a scraper or
other sharp object.
To protect the surfaces of bright
metal parts from corrosion, apply a
coating of wax or chrome preserva
-
tive and rub to a high luster.
During winter weather or in coastal
areas, cover the bright metal parts
with a heavier coating of wax or
preservative. If necessary, coat the
parts with non-corrosive petroleum
jelly or other protective compound.
Underbody maintenance
Road salt and other corrosive chem
-
icals are used in cold weather states
to melt snow and prevent ice accu
-
mulation. If these chemicals are not
regularly removed, they will corrode
the vehicle underbody and, over
time, damage many parts: the fuel
lines, the fuel tank retention sys
-
tem, the vehicle's suspension, the
exhaust system, and even the body
frame.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration has warned all vehi
-
cle owners of all brands of the need
to take the following steps:
䳜 Wash the undercarriage of your
vehicle regularly during the winter
and whenever your vehicle has
been exposed to such salts or
chemicals.
䳜 Do a thorough washing of the
undercarriage at the end of the
winter.
䳜 Use professional service techni
-
cians or governmental inspection
stations to annually inspect for
corrosion.
䳜 Immediately seek an inspection of
your vehicle if you become visu
-
ally aware of corrosion flaking or
scaling or if you become aware of
a change in vehicle performance,
such as soft or spongy brakes,
fluids leaking, impairment of
directional control, suspension

Corrosion protection
Protecting your vehicle from corro
-
sion
By using the most advanced design
and construction practices to com
-
bat corrosion, we produce vehicles
of the highest quality. However, this
is only part of the job. To achieve
the long-term corrosion resistance
your vehicle can deliver, the owner's
cooperation and assistance is also
required.
Common causes of corrosion
The most common causes of corro
-
sion on your vehicle are:
䳜 Road salt, dirt and moisture that
is allowed to accumulate under
-
neath the vehicle.
䳜 Removal of paint or protective
coatings by stones, gravel, abra
-
sion or minor scrapes and dents
which leave unprotected metal
exposed to corrosion.
High-corrosion areas
If you live in an area where your
vehicle is regularly exposed to cor
-
rosive materials, corrosion protec
-
tion is particularly important. Some
of the common causes of acceler
-
ated corrosion are road salts, dust
control chemicals, ocean air and
industrial pollution.
Moisture breeds corrosion
Moisture creates the conditions in
which corrosion is most likely to
occur. For example, corrosion is
accelerated by high humidity, par
-
ticularly when temperatures are
just above freezing. In such condi
-
tions, the corrosive material is kept
in contact with the vehicle's surface
by moisture that evaporates slowly.
Mud is particularly corrosive
because it dries slowly and holds
moisture in contact with the vehicle.
Although the mud appears to be
dry, it can still retain the moisture
and promote corrosion.
High temperatures can also acceler
-
ate corrosion of parts that are not
79

Maintenance Appearance care
properly ventilated so the moisture
can be dispersed. For all these rea
-
sons, it is particularly important to
keep your vehicle clean and free of
mud or accumulations of other
materials. This applies not only to
the visible surfaces but particularly
to the underside of the vehicle.
To help prevent corrosion
You can help prevent corrosion from
beginning by observing the follow
-
ing:
Keep your vehicle clean
The best way to prevent corrosion is
to keep your vehicle clean and free
of corrosive materials. Attention to
the underside of the vehicle is par
-
ticularly important.
If you live in a high-corrosion area
where road salts are used, near the
ocean, areas with industrial pollu
-
tion, acid rain, etc.䳎, you should
take extra care to prevent corrosion.
In winter, hose off the underside of
your vehicle at least once a month
and be sure to clean the underside
thoroughly when winter is over.
When cleaning underneath the vehi
-
cle, give particular attention to the
components under the fenders and
other areas that are hidden from
view. Do a thorough job; just damp
-
ening the accumulated mud rather
than washing it away will accelerate
corrosion rather than prevent it.
Water under high pressure and
steam are particularly effective in
removing accumulated mud and
corrosive materials.
When cleaning lower door panels,
rocker panels and frame members,
be sure that drain holes are kept
open so that moisture can escape
and not be trapped inside to accel
-
erate corrosion.
Keep your garage dry
Don't park your vehicle in a damp,
poorly ventilated garage. This cre
-
ates a favorable environment for
corrosion. This is particularly true if
you wash your vehicle in the garage
or drive it into the garage when it is
still wet or covered with snow, ice or
mud. Even a heated garage can con
-
tribute to corrosion unless it is well
ventilated so moisture is dispersed.
Keep paint and trim in good condi
-
tion
Scratches or chips in the finish
should be covered with "touch-up"
paint as soon as possible to reduce
the possibility of corrosion. If bare
metal is showing through, the
attention of a qualified body and
paint shop is recommended.
Bird droppings: Bird droppings are
highly corrosive and may damage
painted surfaces in just a few hours.
Maintenance
807
Appearance care
Always remove bird droppings as
soon as possible.
Don't neglect the interior
Moisture can collect under the floor
mats and carpeting and cause cor
-
rosion. Check under the mats peri
-
odically to be sure the carpeting is
dry. Use particular care if you carry
fertilizers, cleaning materials or
chemicals in the vehicle.
These should be carried only in
proper containers and any spills or
leaks should be cleaned up, flushed
with clean water and thoroughly
dried.
Interior care
Use the information in the following
sections to maintain the interior of
your vehicle.
Interior general precautions
Prevent chemicals such as perfume,
cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand
cleaner, and air freshener from con
-
tacting the interior parts because
they may cause damage or discolor
-
ation. If they do contact the interior
parts, wipe them off immediately. If
necessary, use a vinyl cleaner, see
product instructions for correct
usage.
CAUTION
Electrical components
Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electrical/elec

alcohol content solutions or acid/
alkaline detergents, the color of the
leather may fade or the surface
may get stripped off.
Taking care of leather seats
䳜 Vacuum the seat periodically to
remove dust and sand on the
seat. It will prevent abrasion or
damage of the leather and main

Maintenance Emission control system
1. Crankcase emission control sys
-
tem
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation
system is employed to prevent air
pollution caused by blow-by gases
being emitted from the crankcase.
This system supplies fresh filtered
air to the crankcase through the air
intake hose. Inside the crankcase,
the fresh air mixes with blow-by
gases, which then pass through the
Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV)
valve into the induction system.
2. Evaporative emission control
(including Onboard Refueling Vapor
Recovery (ORVR)) system
The evaporative emission control
system is designed to prevent fuel
vapors from escaping into the
atmosphere. (The ORVR system is
designed to allow the vapors from
the fuel tank to be loaded into a
canister while refueling at the gas
station, preventing the escape of
fuel vapors into the atmosphere.)
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the
fuel tank are absorbed and stored in
the onboard canister. When the
engine is running, the fuel vapors
absorbed in the canister are drawn
into the surge tank through the
Purge Control Solenoid Valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The Purge Control Solenoid Valve
(PCSV) is controlled by the Engine
Control Module (ECM); when the
engine coolant temperature is low
during idling, the PCSV closes so
that evaporated fuel is not taken
into the engine. After the engine
warms up during ordinary driving,
the PCSV opens to introduce evapo
-
rated fuel to the engine.
3. Exhaust emission control system
The exhaust emission control sys
-
tem is a highly effective system
which controls exhaust emissions
while maintaining good vehicle per
-
formance.
Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could
affect its performance, safety or
durability and may even violate gov
-
ernmental safety and emissions
regulations. In addition, damage or
performance problems resulting
from any modification may not be
covered under warranty.
䳜 If you use authorized electronic
devices, it may cause the vehicle
to operate abnormally, wire dam

age, battery discharge and fire.
For your safety, do not use unau
-
thorized electronic devices.

fined or closed areas (such as
garages) any more than what is
necessary to move the vehicle in
or out of the area.
䳜 When the vehicle is stopped in an
open area for more than a short
time with the engine running,
adjust the ventilation system (as
needed) to draw outside air into
the vehicle.
䳜 Never sit in a parked or stopped
vehicle for any extended time
with the engine running.
䳜 When the engine stalls or fails to
start, excessive attempts to
restart the engine may cause
damage to the emission control
system.

Recommended lubricants and capacities
Recommended lubricants and capacities
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability,
use only lubricants of the proper quality.
The correct lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in
improved fuel economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.
* 1. Use only specified genuine automatic transmission fluid. The use of
non-specified (even marked as compatible with genuine) could result in
shift quality deterioration and vibrations, eventually, the transmission
failure. (Refer to "Explanation of scheduled maintenance items" on page
7-15.)

Recommended lubricants and capacities
Recommended SAE viscosity number
An engine oil displaying this API Certification Mark conforms to the
international Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC). It
is recommended to only use engine oils that uphold this API Certifi
-
cation Mark.
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain plug, or
dipstick before checking or draining
any lubricant. This is especially
important in dusty or sandy areas
and when the vehicle is used on
unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug
and dipstick areas will prevent dirt
and grit from entering the engine
and other mechanisms that could be
damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has
an effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and
engine oil flowability). Lower viscos
-
ity engine oils can provide better
fuel economy and cold weather per
-
formance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfac
-
tory lubrication in hot weather.
Using oils of any viscosity other
than those recommended could
result in engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the
range of temperature your vehicle
will be operated in before the next
oil change. Proceed to select the
recommended oil viscosity from the
chart.

Registering your vehicle in a foreign
country
If you plan to register your vehicle in
a foreign country, you should con
-
firm that it conforms to the regula
-
tions in that country. Even if you
successfully register the vehicle in a
foreign country, you may experi
-
ence the following problems and
should therefore consider the possi
-
bility of having to deal with them:
1. The fuel specified for your vehicle
may be unavailable. If other than
the specified fuel is used, it could
cause damage to the engine, the
fuel injection system, and other
fuel-related parts which may not
be covered under your New Vehi
-
cle Emissions Limited Warranty.
2. We must, therefore, clearly state
that when you leave the country
in which you purchased your Kia
new and register it in another
country, problems arising from
the use of fuel other than the
specified fuel are not subject to
manufacturer's warranty.
Because vehicles like yours may
not be marketed in the new coun
-
try of registration, parts, servic
-
ing techniques and tools
necessary to maintain and repair
your vehicle may be unavailable.
Even if vehicles like yours are sold
there, mechanical specifications
required by the government may
vary enough from the country of
purchase to cause additional
problems.
3. There may not be an Authorized
Kia Dealer in the area in which you
plan to register your vehicle. You
may additionally experience diffi
-
culty in obtaining services in a
foreign country for any number
of reasons.
Further, we cannot assume any
responsibility for problems that
result from unsatisfactory service
or lack of service outside of the
United States.
