Driving your vehicle
426
All wheel drive (AWD)
僅 Do not change gear while driving in
water.
Additional driving conditions
僅 Become familiar with the off-road
conditions before driving.
僅 Always pay attention when driving
off-road and avoid dangerous areas.
僅 Drive slowly when driving in heavy
wind.
僅 Reduce vehicle speed when corner
-
ing. The center of gravity of AWD
vehicles is higher than conventional
2WD vehicles, making them more
likely to roll over when you rapidly
turn corners.
僅 Always hold the steering wheel firmly
when you are driving off-road.
WARNING
僅 If the AWD warning light ( ) stays on
the instrument cluster, your vehicle
may have a malfunction with the AWD
system. When the AWD warning light
( ) illuminates, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
僅 Do not drive in conditions that exceed
the vehicles intended design such as
challenging off-road conditions.
僅 Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.
僅 Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
僅 The risk of a rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
僅 Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver over steers to reenter
the roadway.
僅 In the event your vehicle leaves the
roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
僅 Exercise extreme caution driving up
or down steep hills. The vehicle may
flip depending on the grade, terrain
and water/mud conditions.
僅 Do not grab the inside of the steering
wheel when you are driving off-road.
You may hurt your arm by a sudden
steering maneuver or from steering
wheel rebound due to an impact with
objects on the ground. You could lose
control of the steering wheel which
may lead to serious injury or death.
CAUTION
Always drive slowly in water. If you drive
too fast, water may get into the motor
compartment, causing your vehicle to
suddenly stop.
NOTICE
僅 Do not drive in water if the level is
higher than the center of the wheel.
僅Check your brake condition once you
are out of mud or water. Depress the
brake pedal several times as you
move slowly until you feel normal
braking return.
僅 Shorten your scheduled maintenance
interval if you drive in off-road condi
-
tions such as sand, mud or water
(refer to "Scheduled maintenance ser
-
vice" on page 8-7.)
僅 Make sure that AWD vehicle is towed
by a flatbed tow truck.
