Electric vehicle guide
Overview of electric vehicle
Unlike a vehicle with an internal com
-
bustion vehicle electric vehicles are pro
-
pelled by an electric motor powered by a
high-voltage battery. When decelerating
or driving downhill, regenerative braking
can charge the high voltage battery. This
reduces energy loss and can increase
the distance to empty. When the battery
charge is not sufficient, AC charge (L2-
Normal), DC charge and Trickle charge
(L1-Trickle) are available. (Refer to
"Charge types for electric vehicle" on
page 1-16.)
NOTICE
What Does Regenerative Braking Do?
It uses the electric motor when deceler
-
ating and braking and recaptures &
transforms kinetic to electrical energy in
order to charge the high voltage battery.
(Torque is applied in the opposite direc
-
tion when decelerating to generate brak
-
ing force and electric energy.)
Battery information
The vehicle is composed of a high volt
-
age battery that drives the motor, air
conditioner, and charges an auxiliary
battery (12V) that drives all other 12V
systems.
The auxiliary battery is automatically
charged when the vehicle is in the
READY
mode or the high voltage bat
-
tery is being charged.
Main components of electric
vehicle
僅
On-Board Charger (OBC)
: Trans
-
forms (inverts) AC power, to DC
power, to charge the high voltage bat
-
tery.
僅
Inverter
: Transforms direct current
into alternating current to supply
power to the motor, and transforms
alternating current into direct current
to charge the high voltage battery.
僅
LDC
: Transforms (converts) power
from the high voltage battery to low
voltage (12V) to supply power to the
vehicle (DC-DC).
僅
VCU
: Functions as a supervisory con
-
troller of electric vehicle
僅
Motor
: Uses electrical energy stored
inside the high voltage battery to
drive the vehicle (functions like an
engine in a standard vehicle).
僅
Reduction gear
: Delivers rotational
force of the motor to the tires at
appropriate speeds and torque.
僅
High voltage battery (lithium-ion)
:
Stores and supplies power necessary
for the electric vehicle to operate (12V
auxiliary battery provides power to
the vehicle features such as lights and
wipers).
* OBC: On-Board Charger
* LDC: Low Voltage DC-DC Converter
* VCU: Vehicle Control Unit
WARNING
僅 Do not remove or disassemble high
voltage components and high voltage
battery connectors and/or wiring
(orange cabling). Also, be careful not
to damage high voltage components
and the high voltage battery. It may
cause serious injury and significantly
Electric vehicle guide

Main components of electric vehicle
impact the performance and durabil
-
ity of the vehicle.
僅 When inspection and maintenance is
required for high voltage components
and the high voltage battery, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.
High voltage (HV) battery (lith
-
ium-ion)
僅 The charge of the high voltage bat
-
tery may gradually decrease when the
vehicle is not driven or charged.
僅 The battery capacity of the high volt
-
age battery may decrease over time
when the vehicle is stored in high or
low temperatures.
僅 Distance to empty may vary depend
-
ing on the driving conditions (cargo,
rain, snow, wind, road surfaces), even
if the charge amount is the same. The
high voltage battery may expend
more energy when driving a fast pace
or uphill. These actions may reduce
the distance to empty.
僅 The high voltage battery is used when
using the air conditioner/heater. This
may reduce the distance to empty.
Make sure to set moderate tempera
-
tures when using the air conditioner/
heater and/or use the pre-condition
-
ing feature prior to departures.
僅 Natural degradation may occur with
the high voltage battery depending
on the number of years the vehicle
was used and/or the number of
charging cycles. This will reduce the
distance to empty over time.
僅 When the charge capacity and dis
-
tance to empty suddenly or dramati
-
cally drops, contact an authorized Kia
dealer for inspection and mainte
-
nance.
僅 If the vehicle will not be in use for an
extended period of time, charge the
high voltage battery once every three
months to prevent it from discharg
-
ing. Also, if the vehicle battery charge
is insufficient, immediately charge the
vehicle to full capacity and store the
vehicle.
僅 AC charging is recommended to keep
the high voltage battery in optimal
condition.
僅 If the high voltage battery charge
amount is below 20%, you can keep
the high voltage battery performance
in optimal condition if you charge the
high voltage battery to 100%. (Once a
month or more is recommended.)
僅 The value of the high voltage battery
charge level may vary according to
the charging conditions (state of char
-
ger, outside temperature, battery
temperature, etc.). In order to fully
charge the battery, the current of the
high voltage battery will be gradually
decreased, so that the longevity and
safety of the battery can be secured.
CAUTION
僅 Make sure to use a designated char
-
ger when charging the high voltage
battery. Using non-approved or inap
-
propriate types of chargers may have
a serious impact on vehicle durability.
僅 If the vehicle is kept with insufficient
charge for a long period, it may dam
-
age the high voltage battery and the
high voltage battery may have to be
replaced depending on the level of
degradation.
僅 If the vehicle is in a collision, contact
an authorized Kia dealer to inspect
whether the high voltage battery is
still connected.

僅 Using the V2L function may reduce
the mileage due to the use of high
voltage battery energy, and repeated
use of the V2L function may cause a
decrease in the life of the high voltage
battery.
High voltage battery warmer sys
-
tem (if equipped)
The high voltage battery warmer system
prevents reduction of battery output
when battery temperature is low. If the
charging connector is connected, the
warmer system automatically operates
according to the battery temperature.
Charging time may shorten compare to
vehicles without the high voltage battery
warmer system. But, the use of electric
-
ity charge may increase because of high
voltage battery warmer system opera
-
tion.
NOTICE
The high voltage battery warmer system
operates when the charging connector is
connected to the vehicle. However, the
high voltage warmer system may not
operate when battery temperature
drops below -31 °F (-35 °C).

Distance to empty
The distance to empty is displayed dif
-
ferently according to the selected drive
mode in the drive mode integrated con
-
trol system.
Impact on distance to empty
僅 Driving range depends on the driving
style, electrical load usage, environ
-
ment, and high voltage battery
energy. Distance to empty displayed
on the vehicle may be higher or lower
than the certification range because
these effects are considered.
僅 Driving style refers to driving speed
and acceleration/deceleration ten
-
dency. The higher the speed, or the
more frequent the acceleration/decel
-
eration, distance to empty will be
reduced.
僅 Electrical loads usage means air con
-
ditioning, heaters, lamps or additional
auxiliary loads, and as the usage
increases, distance to empty will be
reduced.
僅 Environment refers to weather, tem
-
perature, and terrain. Distance to
empty is reduced in cases of snow/
rain/high winds or low temperatures,
uphill or slippery or rough road sur
-
faces.
僅 High voltage battery energy is propor
-
tional to SOC (charge amount), but
may vary depending on the battery
temperature, SOH (State of Health),
etc.
Change of distance to empty
when 100% charging
僅If the distance to empty is lowered
due to learning by the driving style or
the environment in which the vehicle
is used, the driving distance may be
increased again if the vehicle contin
-
ues to drive according to the "driving
tips for improving the driving dis
-
tance". The distance to empty can be
reset at the Kia dealer, but it does not
actually increase the range. There
-
fore, the distance to empty may be
inaccurate until the learning proceeds.
僅 Distance to empty decreases when
the high voltage battery temperature
is low in winter. It is not a permanent
change. If the temperature rises, the
distance to empty is restored.
僅 Reducing the use of electrical loads
increases the range available.

length of use of the vehicle, which
reduces the distance to empty.
Operating tips to improve driving
range.
僅 As electric vehicles speed up, air resis
-
tance increases rapidly. Not speeding
up helps increase driving range.
僅 High driving energy is consumed
during rapid acceleration. Motor
regenerative braking is restricted
during rapid deceleration. Keep the
accelerator pedal position constant
and drive at a constant speed.
僅 Excessive operation of the heater and
air conditioner can increase power
consumption and shorten the driving
range. When setting the temperature
to 72°F (22°C) auto, optimal energy
consumption driving is possible. In
particular, using a heated seat and
reducing air heating in winter is very
helpful. Turn off the heater and air
conditioner when heating and cooling
are not needed.
僅 Selecting recirculation mode con
-
sumes less energy than selecting
fresh mode. In the fresh mode, energy
consumption is large because the out
-
door air must be reheated or cooled.
When driving with the window open,
air resistance increases and heater
and air conditioner usage increases.
Close the window completely while
driving to reduce energy consump
-
tion.
僅 When driving alone, use DRIVER
ONLY mode when using the heater
and air conditioning system.
僅 Always maintain the specified tire
pressure and use tires exclusively for
electric vehicles.
僅 Do not use unnecessary electrical
components while driving.
僅 Do not load unnecessary items in the
vehicle.
僅 Do not mount parts that may increase
air resistance.

Safety precautions for electric vehicle
Safety precautions for electric
vehicle
If an accident occurs
WARNING
僅 When a vehicle accident occurs, move
the vehicle to a safe place, turn OFF
the vehicle and remove the auxiliary
battery (12V) terminal to prevent high
voltage electricity from flowing.
僅 If electric wires are exposed from
inside or outside the vehicle, do not
touch the wires.
Also, do not touch the high voltage
electric wire (orange), connector, or
any of the electric components and
devices. This may cause electric shock
and lead to injuries.
WARNING
僅 When a vehicle accident occurs and
the high voltage battery is damaged,
harmful gas and electrolytes may
leak. Be careful not to touch the
leaked liquid.
僅 When you suspect leakage of inflam
-
mable gas and other harmful gases,
open the windows and evacuate to a
safe place. If any leaked fluid comes
in contact with your eyes or skin,
immediately clean the affected area
thoroughly with tap water or saline
solution and seek medical attention as
soon as possible.
WARNING
僅 If a small scale fire occurs, use a fire
extinguisher (ABC, BC) that is meant
for electrical fires. If it is impossible to
extinguish the fire in the early stage,
maintain a safe distance away from
the vehicle and immediately call your
local fire emergency responders. Also,
advise them that an electric vehicle is
involved.
僅 If the fire spreads to the high voltage
battery, large amounts of water is
needed to put out the fire. Using small
amounts of water or fire extinguishers
not meant for electrical fires could
cause serious injury or death from
electrical shocks.
WARNING
僅 If you cannot put out the fire immedi
-
ately, the high voltage battery may
explode. Evacuate to a safe place and
do not let other people approach the
site. Contact the fire department and
notify them of an electric vehicle fire.
僅 If the vehicle is flooded with water,
immediately turn OFF the vehicle and
evacuate to a safe place. Contact the
fire department or an authorized Kia
dealer.

Vehicle data collection and event data recorders
Introduction
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 data to help
understand vehicle performance in a
crash or near crash (such as airbag
deployment, hitting an obstacle, etc.).
The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time, typi
-
cally 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such data
as:
僅 How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
僅 Whether or not the driver and passen
-
ger safety belts were buckled/fas
-
tened;
僅 How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,
僅 How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situa
-
tion 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 routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, spe
-
cial equipment is required, and access to
the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addi
-
tion 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
You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout this
section, and throughout this manual.
The safety precautions in this section 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 vehi
-
cle is equipped with air bags, ALWAYS
make sure you and your passengers
always wear their 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 chil
-
dren 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 injuries to
occupants who sit too close to them, or
who are not properly restrained. Infants,
young children, and shorter adults are at
the greatest risk of being injured by an
inflating air bag. Follow all instructions
and warnings in this manual.
Driver distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious and
potentially deadly danger, especially 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 accident:
僅 ALWAYS set up your mobile devices
(i.e., MP3 players, phones, navigation
units, etc.) when your vehicle is
parked or safely stopped.
僅 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.
僅 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 conditions, regardless of
the maximum speed posted.

trolling the seatback. The seatback will
spring upright possibly impacting you or
other passengers.
WARNING
Driver Responsibility for Passengers
The driver must advise the passengers
to keep the seatback in an upright posi
-
tion whenever the vehicle is in motion. If
a seat is reclined during an accident, the
restraint system's ability to restrain will
be greatly reduced.
WARNING
Seat Cushion
Occupants should never sit on aftermar
-
ket seat cushions or sitting cushions. The
passenger Occupant Detection System
(ODS) may not operate properly, or pas
-
senger's hips may slide under the lap
portion of the seat belt during an acci
-
dent or a sudden stop.
WARNING
Driver's Seat
僅 Never attempt to adjust the seat while
the vehicle is moving. This could result
in loss of control of your vehicle.
僅 Do not allow anything to interfere with
the normal position of the seatback.
Storing items against the seatback
could result in serious or fatal injury in
a sudden stop or collision.
僅 Sit as far back as possible from the
steering wheel while still maintaining
comfortable control of the your vehi
-
cle. A distance of at least 10 inches (25
cm) from your chest to the steering
wheel is recommended. Failure to do
so can result in air bag inflation inju
-
ries to the driver.
WARNING
Rear Seatbacks
Always lock the rear seatback before
driving. Failure to do so could result in
passengers or objects being thrown for
-
ward injuring vehicle occupants.
WARNING
Unexpected Seat Movement
After adjusting a manual seat, always
check that it is locked by shifting your
weight to the front and back. Sudden or
unexpected movement of the driver's
seat could cause you to lose control of
the vehicle.

Safety features of your vehicle Seat
僅 Do not adjust the seat while wearing
seat belts. Moving the seat forward
will cause strong pressure on the
abdomen.
僅 Do not place your hand near the seat
bottom or seat track while adjusting
the seat. Your hand could get caught
in the seat mechanism.
WARNING
Luggage and Cargo
Do not stock pile or stack luggage or
cargo higher than the seatback in the
cargo area. In an accident the cargo
could strike and injure a passenger. If
objects are large, heavy or must be
piled, they must be secured in the cargo
area.
WARNING
Cargo Area
Do not allow passengers to ride in the
cargo area under any circumstance. The
cargo area is solely for the purpose of
transporting luggage or cargo.
WARNING
Small Objects
Use extreme caution when picking up
small objects trapped under the seats or
between the seat and the center con
-
sole. Your hands might be cut or injured
by the sharp edges of the seats mecha
-
nism.
WARNING
Seat Short Circuit Risk
Be aware of wires or air vents when
placing a seat cover or covering the seat
with plastic cover. A short circuit may
occur, which could lead to fire.
CAUTION
Precautions with Seat Covers
Use caution when working on the seat
cover. A short circuit or disconnection
may occur, which could lead to noise or
damage the ventilation system.
Feature of seat leather (if
equipped)
僅 Our car seats are upholstered with a
combination of artificial and genuine
leather. The genuine leather is made
from the outer skin of an animal,
which goes through a special process
to be available for use. Since it is a
natural substance, each part differs in
thickness or density. Also, wrinkles
could appear depending on the tem
-
perature and humidity.
僅 The seat cover is made of stretchable
material to improve comfort of pas
-
sengers.
僅 The parts contacting the body are
curved and the side supporting area is
high which provides driving comfort
and stability.
僅 Wrinkles may appear naturally from
usage. It is not a fault of the product.
CAUTION
僅 Belts with metallic accessories, zip
-
pers or keys inside the back pocket
may damage the seat fabric.
僅 Make sure not to wet the seat. It may
change the leather.
僅 Jeans or clothes which could bleach
may contaminate the surface of the

WARNING
Reclining Seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections
of your restraint system (seat belts and/
or air bags) are greatly reduced by
reclining your seatback.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. When
the seatback is reclined, the shoulder
belt cannot do its job because it will not
be snug against your chest. Instead, it
will be in front of you. During an acci
-
dent, you could be thrown into the seat
belt, causing neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined, the
greater chance the passenger's hips will
slide under the lap belt or the passen
-
ger's neck will strike the shoulder belt.

Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks may be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
WARNING
Folded Seatback
The purpose of the fold-down rear seat
-
backs is to allow you to carry larger
objects that could not otherwise be
accommodated.
僅 Never allow a passenger to sit on top
of the folded down seatback while the
car is moving. This is not a proper
seating position since no seat belts
are available for use.
僅 To reduce the risk of injury caused by
sliding cargo within the passenger
compartment of the vehicle, objects
carried on the folded down seatback
should not extend higher than the top
of the front seats.
Folding down the rear seatback
1. Set the front seatback to the upright
position and if necessary, slide the

2. Lower the rear headrests to the lowest
position by pressing the headrest
release button (1) while pulling the
headrest down (2).
WARNING
Objects
Objects carried on the folded down seat
-
back should not extend higher than the
top of the front seatbacks. This could
allow cargo to slide forward and cause
injury or damage during sudden stops.
3. Route the seat belt webbing to the
outboard of the rear seat to prevent
the belts from being trapped behind
or under the seats.
4. Pull on the seatback folding lever,
then fold the seat toward the front of
the vehicle. When you return the seat
-
back to its upright position, always be

Failure to adhere to any of these
instructions could result in serious
injury or death in the event of a crash.
WARNING
Unless the driver's position is properly
set according to the driver's physical
size, do not fold the rear seat. It may
increase bodily injuries in a sudden stop
or collision.
WARNING
Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to pre
-
vent it from being thrown about the
vehicle in a collision and causing injury
to the vehicle occupants. Do not place
objects in the rear seats, since they can
-
not be properly secured and may hit the
front seat occupants in a collision.
CAUTION
Damaging Rear Seat Belt Buckles
When you fold the rear seatback, insert
the buckle between the rear seatback
and cushion. Doing so can prevent the

is securely applied whenever loading or
unloading cargo. Failure to take these
steps may allow the vehicle to move if
the shifter dial is inadvertently moved to
another position.
Headrest (for front seat)
The driver's and front passenger's seats
are equipped with a headrest for the
occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort
for the driver and front passenger, but
also helps protect the head and neck in
the event of a rear collision.
For maximum effectiveness in case of
an accident, the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the headrest is
at the same height of the center of grav
-
ity of an occupant's head. Generally, the
center of gravity of most people's head
is similar with the height of the top of
their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close to your
head as possible. For this reason, the use
of a cushion that holds the body away
from the seatback is not recommended.
WARNING
Headrest Removal/Adjustment
僅 Do not operate the vehicle with the
headrests removed. Headrests can
provide critical neck and head sup
-
port in a crash.
僅 Do not adjust the headrest height
while the vehicle is in motion. Driver
may lose control of the vehicle.

The following explains seat belts precau
-
tions and how to fasten seat belts.
Seat belt restraint system
For maximum restraint system protec
-
tion, the seat belts must always be used
whenever the vehicle is moving.
僅A properly positioned shoulder belt
should be positioned midway over
your shoulder across your collarbone.
僅 Never allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat. See "Child
Restraint System (CRS)" on page 4-25
for further discussion.
WARNING
Twisted Seat Belt
Make sure your seat belt is not twisted
when worn. A twisted seat belt may not
properly protect you in an accident and
could even cut into your body.
WARNING
Shoulder Belt
僅 Never wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back. An
improperly positioned shoulder belt
cannot protect the occupant in a
crash.
僅 Always wear both the shoulder por
-
tion and lap portion of the lap/shoul
-
der belt.
WARNING
Damaged Seat Belt
Replace the entire seat belt assembly if
any part of the webbing or hardware is
damaged, as you can no longer be sure
that a damaged seat belt will provide
protection in a crash.
Seat belts are designed to bear upon the
bony structure of the body, and should
be worn low across the front of the pel
-
vis, chest and shoulders, as applicable;
wearing the lap section of the belt across
the abdominal 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 pro
-
tection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid contami
-
nation of the webbing with polishes, 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.
僅 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 assem
-
bly from being adjusted to remove
slack.
僅 When you fasten the seat belt, be
careful not to latch the seat belt in
buckles of other seats. It is very dan
-
gerous and you may not be protected
by the seat belt properly.
僅 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 acci
-
dent causing death, serious injury, or
property damage.
僅 When fastening the seat belt, make
sure that the seat belt does not pass
over objects that are hard or can
break easily.

Safety features of your vehicle Seat belts
Fastening the seat belt
僅 Pull it out of the retractor and insert
the metal tab (1) into the buckle (2).
There will be an audible "click" when
the tab locks into the buckle.
You should place the lap belt portion as
low as possible and snugly across your
hips. If the lap belt is located too high on
your waist, it may increase the chance of
injury in the event of a collision.
The arm closest to the seat belt buckle
should be over the belt while the other
arm should be under the belt as shown
in the illustration. Never wear the seat
belt under the arm closest to the door.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to
the proper length only after the lap belt
portion is adjusted manually so that it
fits snugly around your hips. If you lean
forward in a slow, easy motion, the belt
will extend and let you move around. If
there is a sudden stop or impact, how
-
ever, the belt will lock into position. It will
also lock if you try to lean forward too
quickly.
NOTICE
If you are not able to pull out the seat
belt from the retractor, firmly pull the
belt out and release it. Then you will be
able to pull the belt out smoothly.
Height adjustment
You can adjust the height of the shoul
-
der belt anchor to one of the 4 positions
for maximum comfort and safety.
The height of the adjusting seat belt
should not be too close to your neck.
The shoulder portion should be adjusted
so that it lies across your chest and mid
-
way over your shoulder near the door
and not your neck.
To adjust the height of the seat belt
anchor, lower or raise the height
adjuster into an appropriate position.
僅 To raise the height adjuster, pull it up
(1).
僅 To lower it, push it down (3) while
pressing the height adjuster button

WARNING
Seat Belt Replacement
After a collision, the seat belt system
should be inspected to ensure it is oper

ating normally. Replace any belts that
are not functioning appropriately.
Seat belts - front passenger and
rear seat 3-point system with
combination locking retractor
The following explains how to fasten the
passenger's and rear seat belt.
Fastening the seat belt
Combination retractor type seat belts
are installed in the rear seat positions to
help accommodate the installation of
child restraint systems. Although a com
-
bination retractor is also installed in the
front passenger seat position, it is
strongly recommended that children
always be seated in the rear seat. NEVER
place any infant restraint system in the
front seat of the vehicle.
This type of seat belt combines the fea
-
tures of both an emergency locking
retractor seat belt and an automatic
locking retractor seat belt.
僅 Pull it out of the retractor and insert
the metal tab into the buckle. There
will be an audible "click" when the tab
locks into the buckle. When not secur
-
ing a child restraint, the seat belt
operates in the same way as the
driver's seat belt (emergency locking
retractor type).
It automatically adjusts to the proper
length only after the lap belt portion of
the seat belt is adjusted manually so that
it fits snugly around your hips.
When the seat belt is fully extended
from the retractor to allow the installa
-
tion of a child restraint system, the seat
belt operation changes to allow the belt
to retract, but not to extend (automatic
locking retractor type). Refer to "Secur
-
ing a child restraint with a lap/shoulder
belt" on page 4-30.
CAUTION
Do NOT fold down the left portion of the
rear seatback when the rear center seat
belt is buckled. ALWAYS UNBUCKLE the
rear center seat belt before folding down
the left portion of the rear seatback. If
the rear center seat belt is buckled when
the left portion of the rear seatback is
folded down, distortion and damage to
the top portion of the seatback and seat
belt garnish may result, causing the
seatback to lock into the folded down
position.
NOTICE
Although the combination retractor pro
-
vides the same level of protection for
seated passengers in either emergency
or automatic locking modes, have the
seated passengers use the emergency
locking feature for improved conve
-
nience. The automatic locking function is
intended to facilitate child restraint
installation. To convert from the auto
-
matic locking feature to the emergency
locking operation mode, allow the
unbuckled seat belt to fully retract.
The seat belt should be locked into the
buckle on each seat cushion to be prop
-
erly fastened.

WARNING
Prior to fastening the rear seat belts,
ensure the latch matches the seat belt
buckle. Forcefully fastening the left or
right seat belt to the center buckle can
result in an improper fastening scenario
that will not protect you in an accident.
When using the rear center seat belt, the
buckle with the "CENTER" mark must be
used.
Releasing the seat belt
The seat belt is released by pressing the
release button (1) on the locking buckle.
When it is released, the belt should auto
-
matically draw back into the retractor.
If this does not happen, check the belt to
make sure it is not twisted, then try
again.
Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat
belts (retractor pre-tensioner).
The pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated when a frontal collision is
severe enough, together with the air
bags.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if
the occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor may lock
into position. In certain frontal collisions,
the pre-tensioner will activate and pull
the seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant's body.

Retractor pre-tensioner
The purpose of the retractor pre-ten
-
sioner is to make sure that the shoul
-
der belts fit tightly against the
occupant's upper body in certain fron
-
tal collisions.
If the system senses excessive tension
on the driver or passenger's seat belt
when the pre-tensioner system acti
-
vates, the load limiter inside the retractor
pre-tensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt.
NOTICE
When the pre-tensioner seat belts are
activated, a loud noise may be heard

dust from the pre-tensioner activation
may cause skin irritation and should not
be inhaled for prolonged periods.
NOTICE
僅 Both the driver's and front passen
-
ger's seat belt pre-tensioner systems
may be activated, not only in certain
frontal collisions, but also in certain
side collisions or rollovers, if the vehi
-
cle is equipped with a side or curtain
air bag.
僅 Because the sensor that activates the
SRS air bag is connected with the pre-
tensioner seat belt, the SRS air bag
warning light ( ) on the instrument
panel will appear for approximately 6
seconds after the EV button has been
changed to the ON position, and then
it should turn off.
If the pre-tensioner seat belt system is
not working properly, this warning light
will appear even if there is not a mal
-
function with the SRS air bag. If the SRS
air bag warning light does not appear
when EV button has been changed to
ON, or if it remains on after appearing
for approximately 6 seconds, or if it
appears while the vehicle is being
driven, have an authorized Kia dealer
inspect the pre-tensioner seat belt and
SRS air bag system as soon as possible.
WARNING
Hot Pre-tensioner
Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes after
they have been activated. When the pre-
tensioner seat belt mechanism fires
during a collision, the pre-tensioner
becomes hot and can burn you.
NOTICE
Do not attempt to service or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt system in any
manner. Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the pre-tensioner seat belts
yourself. This must be done by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Pre-tensioners are designed to operate
only one time. After activation, pre-ten
-
sioner seat belts must be replaced. If the
pre-tensioner must be replaced, contact
an authorized Kia dealer.

Safety features of your vehicle 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 Sys
-
tem (CRS)" on page 4-25.
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 require
-
ments of the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards. Before buying any
child restraint system, make sure that it
has a label certifying that it meets Fed
-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 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 4-25.
Larger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems 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. Chil
-
dren 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 plac
-
ing 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 shoulder 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/shoul
-
der belt assemblies whenever possible
according to specific recommendations
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 colli
-
sion can seriously injure the fetus.

Seat belts
Injured person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is transported. In such
cases, you should consult a physician for
recommendations.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of inju
-
ries 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 vehi
-
cle 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 disas
-
sembled or modified. In addition, 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 damaged and could fail during
a collision or sudden stop.
WARNING
Seatbelts can become hot in a vehicle
that has been closed up in sunny
weather. They could burn infants and
children.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected peri
-
odically 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 assembly 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 concern
-
ing seat belt operation should be
directed to an authorized Kia dealer.

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.
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 in the
front passenger's seat. A child riding in
the front passenger seat can be force
-
fully struck by an inflating airbag and
get seriously injured.
WARNING
Hot Child Restraint
A child restraint system can become
very hot if it is left in a closed vehicle on
a sunny day. Be sure to check the seat
cover, buckles and latches before plac
-
ing a child in the restraint system.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly 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.
Child restraint systems must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat. You
must use a commercially available child
restraint system that meets the require
-
ments of the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (FMVSS).
Child restraint systems are 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 pro
-
vided by the manufacturer of the CRS.
WARNING
Child Restraint Installation
An improperly secured child restraint
system can increase the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident. Always
take the following precautions when
using a child restraint system:
僅 Always follow the child restraint sys
-
tem manufacturer's instructions for
installation and use.
僅 Always properly restrain your child in
the child restraint system.
僅 If the vehicle head restraint prevents
proper installation of a child seat (as
described in the child restraint system
manual), the head restraint of the
respective seating position should be
readjusted or entirely removed.

protection in an accident.
NOTICE
After an accident, have a Kia dealer
check the child restraint system, seat
belts, tether anchors and lower anchors.
Selecting a Child Restraint Sys
-
tem (CRS)
When selecting a CRS for your child,
always:
僅 Make sure the CRS has a label certify
-
ing that it meets applicable Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS 213).
僅 Select a child restraint based on your
child's height and weight. The
required label or the instructions for
use typically provide this information.
僅 Select a child restraint that fits the
vehicle seating position where it will
be used.
僅 Read and comply with the warnings
and instructions for installation and
use provided with the child restraint
system.
WARNING
Holding Children
Never hold a child in your arms or lap
when riding in a vehicle. The violent
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 occu
-
pants at the same time. This will elimi
-
nate any safety benefit provided by the
seat belt to the occupants.
Child restraint system types
There are three main types of child
restraint systems: rear-facing seats, for
-
ward-facing seats, and booster seats.
They are classified according to the
child's age, height and weight.
Rear-facing child seats
A rear-facing child seat provides
restraint with the seating surface against
the back of the child. The harness sys
-
tem holds the child in place, and in an
accident, acts to keep the child posi
-
tioned 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 typi
-
cally have higher height and weight lim
-
its for the rear-facing position, allowing
ONQ5021098N

Safety features of your vehicle Child Restraint System (CRS)
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 manufacturer. It's the best way
to keep them safe. Once your child has
outgrown 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 har
-
ness. 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 forward-
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 stom
-
ach. The shoulder belt should lie snug
across the shoulder and chest and not
across the neck or face. Children under
age 13 must always ride in the rear seats
and must always be properly restrained
to minimize the risk of injury.
Installing a Child Restraint Sys
-
tem (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:
僅
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.
僅
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. How
-
ever, some side-to-side movement
can be expected.
僅
Secure the child in the child
restraint.
Make sure the child is prop
-
erly strapped in the child restraint
according to the manufacturer
instructions.
Lower Anchors and Tether for
Children (LATCH) System
The LATCH system holds a child
restraint during driving and in an acci
-
dent. This system is designed to make
installation of the child restraint easier
and reduce the possibility of improperly
installing your child restraint. The LATCH
ONQ5021099N
Safety features of your vehicle
284
Child Restraint System (CRS)
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 attachments.
To use the LATCH system in your vehi
-
cle, 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.
LATCH anchors have been provided in
the left and right outboard rear seating
positions. Their locations are shown in
the illustration. There are no LATCH
anchors provided for the center rear
seating position.
WARNING
LATCH Lower Anchors
Never attempt to attach a LATCH
equipped seat in the center seating posi
-
tion. LATCH lower anchors are only to be
used in the left and right rear outboard
seating positions. You may damage the
anchors or the anchors may fail and
break in a collision if the seat is in the
center seating position.
The lower anchor position indicator sym
-
bols are located on the left and right rear
seatbacks to identify the position of the
lower anchors in your vehicle (see
arrows in illustration).

Securing a child restraint with the
LATCH anchors system
To install a LATCH-compatible child
restraint in either of the rear outboard
seating positions:
1. Move the seat belt buckle away from
the lower anchors.
2. Move any other objects away from
the anchors that could prevent 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 manu

the lower attachments on the child
restraint to the lower anchors.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using the LATCH system:
僅 Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your child
restraint system.
僅 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 "auto
-
matic locking mode" subsection, and
place the webbing behind the child
seat or against an unused seatback.
Children can be strangled if a shoul
-
der belt becomes wrapped around
their neck and the seat belt tightens.
僅 NEVER attach more than one child
restraint to a single anchor. This could
cause the anchor or attachment to
come loose or break.
僅 Always have the LATCH system
inspected by your authorized Kia
dealer after an accident. An accident
can damage the LATCH system 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
system, 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 fol
-
lowing calculation:
Child Restraint system Weight = 65 -
(child's total weight in lbs.)
Securing a child restraint seat
with "Tether Anchor" system
First secure the child restraint with the
LATCH lower anchors or the seat belt. If
the child restraint manufacturer recom
-
mends that the top tether strap be
attached, attach and tighten the top
tether strap to the top tether strap
anchor.
Child restraint hook holders are located
on the shelf behind the rear seats.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
installing the tether strap:
僅 Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your child
restraint system.
僅 NEVER attach more than one child
restraint to a single tether anchor.
This could cause the anchor or attach
-
ment to come loose or break.
僅 Do not attach the tether strap to any
-
thing other than the correct tether
anchor. It may not work properly if
attached to something else.
僅 Do not use the tether anchors for
adult seat belts or harnesses, or for
attaching other items or equipment to
the vehicle.
僅 Always fasten the seat belts behind
the child restraint seat when they are
not used to secure the child seat. Fail

ure to do so may result in child stran
-
gulation.
To install the tether anchor:
1. Route the child restraint tether strap
over the child restraint seatback.
Route the tether strap under the head
restraint and between the head
restraint posts, or route the tether
strap over the top of the vehicle seat
-
back. Make sure the strap is not
twisted.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the
tether anchor, then tighten the tether
strap according to the child seat man
-
ufacturer's instructions to firmly
secure the child restraint to the seat.
3. Check that the child restraint is
securely attached to the seat by push
-
ing and pulling the seat forward and
from side-to-side.
Securing a child restraint with a
lap/shoulder belt
When not using the LATCH system, all
child restraints must be secured to a
vehicle rear seat with the lap part of a
lap/shoulder belt.
Automatic locking mode
Since all passenger seat belts move
freely under normal conditions and only
lock under extreme or emergency condi
-
tions (emergency locking mode), you
must manually pull the seat belt all the
way out to shift the retractor to the
"automatic locking" mode to secure a
child restraint.
The "automatic locking" mode will help
prevent the normal movement of the
child in the vehicle from causing the seat
belt to loosen and compromise the child
restraint system.
To install a child restraint system on the
rear seats, do the following:
1. Place the child restraint system on a
rear seat and route the lap/shoulder
belt around or through the child
restraint, following the restraint man
-
ufacturer's instructions.
Be sure the seat belt webbing is not
twisted.
2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into
the buckle. Listen for the distinct
"click" sound.
Position the release button so that it is
easy to access in case of an emer
-
gency.
3. Pull the shoulder portion of the seat
belt all the way out. When the shoul
-
der portion of the seat belt is fully
extended, it will shift the retractor to
the "automatic locking" (child
restraint) mode.

4. Slowly allow the shoulder portion of
the seat belt to retract and listen for
an audible "clicking" or "ratcheting"
sound. This indicates that the retrac
-
tor is in the "automatic locking" mode.
If no distinct sound is heard, repeat
steps 3 and 4.
5. Remove as much slack from the belt
as possible by pushing down on the
child restraint system while feeding
the shoulder belt back into the retrac
-
tor.
6. Push and pull on the child restraint
system to confirm that the seat belt is
holding it firmly in place. If it is not,
release the seat belt and repeat steps
2 through 5.
7. Double check that the retractor is in
the "automatic locking" mode by
attempting to pull more of the seat
belt out of the retractor. If you cannot,
the retractor is in the "automatic lock
-
ing" mode.
If your CRS manufacturer instructs or
recommends you to use a tether anchor
with the lap/shoulder belt, refer to
"Securing a child restraint with the
LATCH anchors system" on page 4-28
for more information.
WARNING
Auto Lock Mode
Set the retractor to Automatic Lock
mode when installing any child restraint
system. If the retractor is not in the auto
-
matic locking mode, the child restraint
can move when your vehicle turns or
stops suddenly. A child can be seriously
injured or killed if the child restraint is
not properly anchored in the car, includ
-
ing manually pulling the seat belt all the
way out to shift the retractor to the "Auto
Lock" mode.
NOTICE
When the seat belt is allowed to retract
to its fully stowed position, the retractor
will automatically switch from the "auto
-
matic locking" mode to the emergency
lock mode for normal adult usage.
To remove the child restraint, press the
release button on the buckle and then
pull the lap/shoulder belt out of the
restraint and allow the seat belt to
retract fully.

Safety features of your vehicle Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint system
How does the air bag system
operate?
僅 Air bags are activated (able to inflate
if necessary) only when the EV button
has been changed to ON position or
the vehicle is in the ready mode.
僅 The appropriate air bags inflate
instantly in the event of a serious
frontal collision or side collision in
order to help protect the occupants
from serious physical injury.
僅 Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a
collision and its direction. These two
factors determine whether the sen
-
sors produce an electronic deploy
-
ment/inflation signal.
僅 Air bags will inflate based upon the
severity of a collision and its direction,
etc. But air bags will not inflate in
every crash or collision situation.
僅 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 sim
-
ply see the deflated air bags hanging
out of their storage compartments
after the collision.
僅 In addition to inflating in serious side
collisions, side and/or curtain air bags
will inflate if the sensing system
detects a rollover.
僅 When a rollover is detected, side and/
or curtain air bags will remain inflated
longer to help provide protection from
ejection, especially when used in con
-
junction with the seat belts.
僅In order to help provide protection,
the air bags must inflate rapidly. The
speed of the air bag inflation is a con
-
sequence of extremely short time in
which to inflate the air bag between
the occupant and the vehicle struc
-
tures before the occupant impacts
those structures. This speed of infla
-
tion reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries and is thus a nec
-
essary part of the air bag design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include facial
abrasions, bruises and broken bones
because the inflation speed also
causes the air bags to expand with a
great deal of force.
僅
There are even circumstances
under which contact with the steer
-
ing wheel or passenger air bag can
cause fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned excessively
close to the steering wheel or pas
-
senger air bag.
WARNING
Airbag Inflation
Sit as far back as possible from the
steering wheel while still maintaining
comfortable control of the vehicle. A dis
-
tance of at least 25 cm (10 in) from your
chest to the steering wheel is recom
-
mended. Failure to do so can result in
airbag inflation injuries 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
-
Safety features of your vehicle
344
Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint system
comfort and prevent prolonged expo
-
sure 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 immediately 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.
WARNING
Do not install or place any accessories
near air bag deployment areas, such as
the instrument panel, windows, pillars,
and roof rails.
Do not install a child restraint on
the front passenger's seat
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in the front passenger's seat.
If the air bag deploys, it would impact
the rear-facing child restraint, causing
serious or fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraints in the front passenger's
seat. If the front passenger air bag
inflates, it could cause serious or fatal
injuries to the child.
WARNING
Air Bag Deployment
When children are seated in the rear
outboard seats of a vehicle equipped
with side and/or curtain air bags, install
the child restraint system as far away
from the door side as possible. Inflation
of the side and/or curtain air bags could
impact the child.

immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibility
and the ability to steer or operate other
controls.
Passenger's front air bag
WARNING
Air Bag Obstructions
Do not install or place any accessories
on the steering wheel, instrument panel,
or on the front passenger's panel above
the glove box in a vehicle. Such objects
may become dangerous projectiles if the
air bag deploys.
WARNING
Flying Objects
Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and
the front seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles if the side airbag
inflates.
僅 If an air bag deploys, there may be a
loud noise followed by a fine dust
released in the vehicle. These condi
-
tions are normal and are not hazard
-
ous - the air bags are packed in this
fine powder. The dust generated
during air bag deployment may cause
skin or eye irritation as well as aggra
-
vate asthma for some persons.
Always wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly with cold water and a mild
soap after an accident in which the air
bags were deployed.
僅 The SRS can function only when EV
button is in the ON position. If the SRS
air bag warning light does not appear,
or continuously remains on after
appearing for about 6 seconds when
EV button is in the ON position after
the vehicle is in the
READY
mode, or
comes on while driving, the SRS is not
working properly. If this occurs, have
your vehicle immediately inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE
Before you replace a fuse or disconnect
a battery terminal, change the EV button
to the OFF position. Never remove or
replace the air bag related fuse(s) when
the EV button is in the ON position. Fail
-
ure to heed this warning will cause the
SRS air bag warning light to appear.
Occupant Detection System
(ODS)
Your vehicle is equipped with an occu
-
pant detection system in the front pas
-
senger's seat.
The occupant detection system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated front passenger and
determine if the passenger's front air
bag should be enabled (may inflate) or
not. Only the front passenger front air
bag is controlled by the Occupant
Detection System.

WARNING
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF Light
Do not allow an adult passenger to ride
in the front seat when the PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator appears because
the air bag will not deploy in the event of
a crash. The driver must instruct the
passenger to reposition himself in the
seat. Failure to properly position himself
may lead to air bag deactivation, result
-
ing in air bag non-deployment in a colli
-
sion. If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator remains on after the passenger
repositions themselves properly and the
car is restarted, it is recommended that
the passenger move to the rear seat
because the passenger's front air bag
will not deploy.
NOTICE
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
appears for about 4 seconds after EV
button is turned to the ON position after
the vehicle is started. If the front passen
-
ger seat is occupied, the occupant
detection sensor will then classify the
front passenger after several more sec
-
onds.
僅 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 occupant detection system is not
working properly, the SRS air bag warn
-
ing light on the instrument panel will
appear because the passenger's front air
bag is connected with the occupant
detection system. If there is a malfunc
-
tion of the occupant detection system,
the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
will not appear and the passenger's front
air bag will inflate in frontal impact
crashes even if there is no occupant in

Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint system
Passenger's front air bag
The indication of the system's presence
are the letters "AIR BAG" located on the
air bag pad cover on the steering wheel
and the passenger's side front panel pad
above the glove box.
The SRS consists of air bags installed
under the pad covers in the center of the
steering wheel and the passenger's side
front panel above the glove box.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen
-
ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt system alone in
case of a frontal impact of sufficient
severity. The SRS uses sensors to gather
information about the driver's and front
passenger's seat belt usage and impact
severity.
The seat belt buckle sensor determines
if the front passenger's seat belt is fas
-
tened.
These sensors provide the ability to con
-
trol the SRS deployment based on
whether or not the seat belts are fas
-
tened, and how severe the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the air bag inflation with two lev
-
els. A first stage level is provided for
moderate-severity impacts. A second
stage level is provided for more severe
impacts.
The passenger's front air bag is
designed to help reduce the injury of
children sitting close to the instrument
panel in low speed collisions. However,
children are safer if they are restrained
in the rear seat.
According to the impact severity and
seat belt usage, the SRSCM (SRS Control
Module) 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 in
the front passenger's seat. The occupant
detection system detects the presence
of a passenger in the front passenger's
seat and will turn off the front passen
-
ger's air bag under certain conditions.
For more detail, see "Occupant Detec
-
tion System (ODS)" on page 4-36.
WARNING
Modification
Modification to the seat structure can
cause the air bag to deploy at a different
level than should be provided.
Manufacturers are required by govern
-
ment regulations to provide a contact
point concerning modifications to the
vehicle for persons with disabilities,
which modifications may affect the vehi

WARNING
Modification
Modification to the seat structure can
cause the air bag to deploy at a different
level than should be provided.
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
protection can be provided by the seat
belt.
NOTICE
Air bags can only be used once – 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 satisfied 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 inopera

WARNING
Air Bag Sensors
僅 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.
僅 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 main
-
tenance on or around the air bag sen
-
sors. Have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized Kia dealer.
Problems may arise if the sensor instal
-
lation angles are changed due to the
deformation of the front bumper, front
end module, body or front doors where
side collision sensors are installed. Have
the vehicle checked and repaired by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Installing bumper guards (or side step or
running board) or replacing a bumper
(or front door module) with non-genuine
parts may adversely affect your vehicle's
collision and air bag deployment perfor
-
mance. Kia Genuine bumper guards/
bumpers are parts we guarantee for
quality and performance.
Why didn't my air bag go off in a
collision? (Inflation and non-infla
-
tion conditions of the air bag)
There are many types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be expected
to provide additional protection.
These include rear impacts, second or
third collisions in multiple impact acci
-
dents, as well as low speed impacts.
Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate in
a frontal collision depending on the
severity of impact of the front collision.
Side and/or curtain air bags
Side and/or curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when an impact is
detected by side collision sensors
depending on the severity of impact
resulting from a side impact collision.
Also, the side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when a rollover 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 frontal collisions,
they may inflate in other types of colli
-
sions if the front impact sensors detect a
sufficient frontal force in another type of
impact.
OCV031052L
OCV031056N
OCV031045L
Safety features of your vehicle
484
Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint system
Similarly, although side and curtain air
bags are designed to inflate in certain
side impact collisions, they may inflate in
other types of collisions where a side
force is detected by the sensors. For
instance, side air bag and/or curtain air
bags may inflate if rollover sensors indi
-
cate the possibility of a rollover occur
-
ring (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 roll
-
over, they will deploy to prevent ejection
of occupants, especially 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.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
僅 In certain low-speed collisions the air
bags may not deploy. The air bags are
designed not to deploy in such cases
because they may not provide bene
-
fits beyond the protection of the seat
belts in such collisions.
僅 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.
僅 Front air bags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move to the direction of the collision,
and thus in side impacts, frontal air
bag deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
僅 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 ben
-
efit, and thus the sensors may not
deploy any air bags.
僅 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" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
"under-ride" collisions.

collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area
and the full force of the impact is not

Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) care
The 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
appear, or continuously remains on,
have your vehicle immediately inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, 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 autho
-
rized Kia dealer. Improper handling of
the SRS system 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. Sol
-
vents or cleaners could adversely affect
the air bag covers and proper deploy
-
ment 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. Fail
-
ure to follow these precautions and pro
-
cedures could increase the risk of
personal 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 acci
-
dental inflation of the air bags or render
the SRS inoperative.
WARNING
Towing Vehicle
Always have the vehicle in OFF position
when your vehicle 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.

If this occurs, your vehicle may not start.
Remove any metal objects or additional
keys near the smart key before attempt
-
ing to start the vehicle again.
If the system repeatedly does not recog

-
lems could result that may make your
vehicle inoperable.
NOTICE
When starting the vehicle, do not use the

Steering wheel
The steering wheel of this vehicle is
equipped with Electric Power Steering.
Electric Power Steering (EPS)
Power steering uses an electric motor to
assist you in steering the vehicle.
If the vehicle is off or if the power steer
-
ing system becomes inoperative, the
vehicle may still be steered, but it will
require increased steering effort.
Electric Power Steering is controlled by
the power steering control unit which
senses the steering wheel torque and
vehicle 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 steer
-
ing wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power steer
-
ing checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
僅 The EPS warning light does not
appear.
僅 The steering gets heavy immediately
after turning the EV button in ON
position. This happens as the system
performs the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics are completed,
the steering wheel will return to its
normal condition.
僅 A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after turning the EV button
in ON or OFF position.
僅 A motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at a stop or at a low driving
speed.

Steering wheel
僅 When the charging system warning
light comes on due to the low voltage
(when the alternator or battery does
not operate normally or malfunc
-
tions), the steering wheel may require
increased steering effort.
僅 If the vehicle needs to be jump started
due to battery discharge, the steering
wheel may not function normally. This
is a temporary situation caused by low
battery voltage. It will be solved once
the battery is charged. Check for nor
-
mal steering function by turning the
steering wheel slowly before driving
the vehicle.
僅 The steering effort can suddenly
increase, if the operation of the EPS
system is stopped to prevent serious
accidents when EPS control unit
detects malfunction of the EPS sys
-
tem by self-diagnosis.
If the Electric Power Steering system
does not operate normally, the warning
light will appear on the instrument clus
-
ter. The steering wheel may become dif
-
ficult to control or operate abnormally. In
this case, have the system inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.
When you operate the steering wheel in
low temperature, the steering effort may
be high and abnormal noise could occur.
If temperature rises, the noise will disap
-
pear. This is a normal condition.
When the vehicle is stationary, and the
steering wheel is turned all the way to
the left or right continuously, the steer
-
ing wheel becomes harder to turn. The
power assist is limited to protect the
motor from overheating.
As time passes, the steering wheel will
return to its normal condition.
Tilt and telescopic steering wheel
A tilt and telescopic steering wheel
allows you to adjust the steering wheel
before you drive.
You can also raise it to give your legs
more room when you exit and enter the
vehicle.
The steering wheel should be positioned
so that it is comfortable for you to drive,
while permitting you to see the instru
-
ment panel warning lights and gauges.
WARNING
Steering Wheel Adjustment

vides maximum cooling; however,
continual operation in this mode may
cause the air inside the vehicle to
become stale.
僅 During cooling operation, you may
occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and humid
air intake. This is a normal system
operation characteristic.
Climate control air filter
The climate control air filter installed

ters the dust or other pollutants that
come into the vehicle from the outside
through the heating and air conditioning
system.
僅A: Outside air
僅 B: Recirculated air
僅 C: Climate control air filter
僅D: Blower
僅 E: Evaporator core
僅F: Heater core
If dust or other pollutants accumulate in
the filter over a period of time, the air
flow from the air vents may decrease,
resulting in moisture accumulation on
the inside of the windshield even when
the outside (fresh) air position is
selected. If this happens, have the cli

mate control air filter replaced by an
authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE
僅 Replace the filter every 15,000 miles
(20,000 km) or once a year. If the
vehicle is being driven in severe con
-
ditions, such as dusty or rough roads,
more frequent air conditioner filter
inspections and changes are required.
僅 When the air flow rate suddenly
decreases, the system should be
checked at an authorized Kia dealer.

How vehicle radio works
FM reception
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the
radio antenna on your vehicle. This sig
-
nal is then processed by the radio and
sent to your vehicle speakers.
However, in some cases the signal com
-
ing to your vehicle may not be strong
and clear.
This can be due to factors, such as the
distance from the radio station, close
-
ness of other strong radio stations or the
presence of buildings, bridges or other
large obstructions in the area.
AM reception
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequencies. 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.

Features of your vehicle Audio system
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:
僅 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.
僅 Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or
large obstructions between the trans
-
mitter and your radio can disturb the
signal causing static or fluttering
noises to occur. Reducing the treble
level may lessen this effect until the
disturbance clears.
僅 Station Swapping - As an FM signal
weakens, another more powerful sig
-
nal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the
clearest signal. If this occurs, select
another station with a stronger signal.
僅 Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig
-
nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or flut
-
tering. This can be caused by a direct
and reflected signal from the same
station, or by signals from two sta
-
tions 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 system
such as a cellular phone or a radio set
inside the vehicle, a separate external
antenna must be fitted. When a cellular
phone or a radio set is used with an
internal antenna alone, it may interfere
with the vehicle's electrical system and
adversely affect safe operation of the
vehicle.

Good driving practices
Good driving habits reduce the risk of
accidents and help maintain vehicle per
-
formance.
僅 Never shift from P (Park) or N (Neu
-
tral) to any other position with the
accelerator pedal depressed.
僅 Never shift from P (Park) when the
vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
僅 Do not shift to N (Neutral) when driv
-
ing. Doing so may result in an acci
-
dent.
僅Do not drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. Even light, but con
-
sistent pedal pressure can result in
the brakes overheating, brake wear
and possibly even brake failure.
僅 Always apply the parking brake when
leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on
placing the gear in P (Park) to keep
the vehicle from moving.
僅 Exercise extreme caution when driv
-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe
-
cially 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 may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
僅 Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the acceler
-
ator.

WARNING
When driving uphill or downhill, always
shift to D (Drive) for driving forward or
shift to R (Reverse) for driving back
-
wards, and check the gear position indi
-
cated on the cluster before driving.
Driving in the opposite direction of the
selected gear can lead to a dangerous
situation by shutting off the vehicle and
affecting the braking performance.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:
僅 ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a colli
-
sion, an unbelted occupant is signifi
-
cantly more likely to be seriously
injured or killed than a properly belted
occupant.
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 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 Kia recommends you follow all posted
speed limits.

hill by increasing the regeneration level.
Continuous brake application will cause
the brakes to overheat and could result
in a temporary loss of braking perfor
-
mance.
Wet brakes may impair the vehicle's abil
-
ity to safely slow down; the vehicle may
also pull to one side when the brakes are
applied. Applying 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 perfor
-
mance returns to normal.
NOTICE
Do not depress the brake pedal continu
-

WARNING
Brake Wear
Do not ignore high pitched wear sounds
from your brakes. If you ignore this audi
-
ble warning, you will eventually lose
braking performance, which could lead
to a serious accident.
High Performance Brake (if
equipped)
As this vehicle is equipped with the High
Performance Brake (large diameter
brakes for enhanced braking perfor
-
mance), noise such as a squeal, squeak
or groan is generated while braking. This
is normal and the friction may create cir

Driving your vehicle Brake system
僅 Never allow a passenger to touch the
parking brake. If the parking brake is
released unintentionally, serious
injury may occur.
僅 All vehicles should always have the
parking brake fully engaged when
parked to avoid inadvertent move
-
ment of the vehicles which can injure
occupants or pedestrians.
Check the brake warning light by press
-
ing EV button ON (do not start the vehi
-
cle). This light will appear when the
parking brake is applied with the EV but
-
ton in the START or ON position.
Before driving, be sure the parking
brake is fully released and the brake
warning light is off.
If the brake warning light remains on
after the parking brake is released while
the vehicle is running, there may be a
malfunction in the brake system. Imme
-
diate attention is necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the vehi
-
cle immediately. If that is not possible,
use extreme caution while operating the
vehicle and only continue to drive the
vehicle until you can reach a safe loca
-
tion or repair shop.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS prevents the wheels from lock
-
ing. So the vehicle remains stable and
can still be steered.
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent accidents
due to improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehicle control
is improved during emergency braking,
always maintain 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:
僅 When driving on rough, gravel or
snow-covered roads
僅 When driving with tire chains installed
僅 When driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has different sur
-
face heights.
Driving in these conditions increases the
stopping distance for your vehicle.
The ABS continuously senses the speed
of the wheels. If the wheels are going to
lock, the ABS system repeatedly modu
-
lates the hydraulic brake pressure to the
wheels.
When you apply your brakes under con
-
ditions which may lock the wheels, you
may hear a "tik-tik'' sound from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sensa
-
tion 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 emergency situa
-
tion, do not attempt to modulate your
brake pressure and do not try to pump
your brakes.
NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the vehi
-
cle compartment when the vehicle
begins to move after the vehicle is
started. These conditions are normal
and indicate that the anti-lock brake sys
-
tem is functioning properly.
Even with the anti-lock brake system,
your vehicle still requires sufficient stop
-
ping 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
Driving your vehicle
306
Brake system
accidents resulting from excessive
speeds.
On loose or uneven road surfaces, oper
-
ation of the anti-lock brake system may
result in a longer stopping distance than
for vehicles equipped with a conven
-
tional brake system.
The ABS warning light will stay on for
approximately 3 seconds after the EV
button is ON.
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 an authorized Kia dealer as
soon as possible.
When you drive on a road having poor
traction, such as an icy road, and have
operated your brakes continuously, the
ABS will be active continuously and the
ABS warning light may appear. Pull your
vehicle over to a safe place and stop the
vehicle.
Restart the vehicle. If the ABS warning
light goes off, then your ABS system is
normal. Otherwise, you may have a
problem with the ABS. Contact an autho
-
rized Kia dealer as soon as possible.
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 bat
-
tery voltage. It does not mean your ABS
has malfunctioned.
僅 Do not pump your brakes!
僅 Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
The ESC system is designed to stabilize
the vehicle during cornering maneuvers.
ESC checks where you are steering and
where the vehicle is actually going. ESC
applies the brakes on individual wheels
and intervenes with the vehicle manage
-
ment system to stabilize 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 pre
-
vent accidents by avoiding maneuvers
that cause the vehicle to lose traction.
Even with ESC installed, always follow all
the normal precautions for driving -
including driving at safe speeds for the
conditions.
WARNING
For maximum protection, always wear
your seat belt. No system, no matter
how advanced, can compensate for all
driver error and/or driving conditions.
Always drive responsibly.
The ESC system is an electronic system
designed to help the driver maintain
vehicle control under adverse condi
-
tions. It is not a substitute for safe driv

responses when a vehicle is driving on a
slippery road or a vehicle detects
changes in coefficient of friction
between right wheels and left wheels
when braking.
WARNING
Tire/Wheel Size
When replacing tires and wheels, make
sure they are the same size as the origi

driver error and/or driving conditions.
Always drive responsibly.
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 automati
-
cally for approximately 2 seconds.
The brakes are released when the accel
-
erator pedal is depressed or after about
2 seconds.
The HAC is activated only for about 2
seconds, so when the vehicle is starting
off always depress the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
Maintaining Brake Pressure on Incline
HAC does not replace the need to apply
brakes while stopped on an incline.

Good braking practices
Good braking practices help to drive
safely and extend brake life.
僅 Check to be sure the parking brake is
not engaged and the parking brake
indicator light is out before driving
away.
僅 Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the vehicle is washed. Wet
brakes can be dangerous! Your vehi
-
cle 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 call an authorized Kia dealer
for assistance.
僅 Don't coast down hills with the vehicle
out of gear. This is extremely hazard
-
ous. Keep the vehicle in gear at all
times, use the brakes to slow down,
then shift to a lower gear so that vehi
-
cle braking will help you maintain a
safe speed.
OCVGT042191L
Driving your vehicle
366
Brake system
僅 Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting
your foot on the brake pedal while
driving can be dangerous because the
brakes might overheat and lose their
effectiveness. It also increases the
wear of the brake components.
僅 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.
僅 Be cautious when parking on a hill.
Firmly engage the parking brake and
place the shifter dial in P. If your vehi
-
cle is facing downhill, turn the front
wheels into the 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.
僅 Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged posi
-
tion. 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 shifter dial in P and
block the rear wheels so the vehicle
cannot roll. Then release the parking
brake.
僅 Do not hold the vehicle on an incline
with the accelerator pedal. This can
cause the reduction gear to overheat.
Always use the brake pedal or parking
brake.
僅 Do not pump the brake pedal as the
vehicle is equipped with ABS.
僅 The vehicle is equipped with elec
-
tronic hydraulic brake. Due to mal
-
function or power instability, the
brake booster may not operate nor

All wheel drive (AWD)
All wheel drive (AWD) (if
equipped)
When All Wheel Drive (AWD) is activated,
driving forces are distributed appropri
-
ately to front and rear wheels. It could
improve driving performance by maxi
-
mizing the driving force of vehicles on
severe road conditions such as steep
hills, unpaved, slippery, etc.
Advantage of electronic AWD
僅 Improvement of straight stability
僅 Improvement of driving performance
on curve
僅 Secure stability on severe condition
such as wet and sandy roads.
僅 Improvement of energy efficiency
from driving mode automatic control.
For safe AWD operation
Before driving
僅 Make sure all passengers are wearing
seat belts.
僅 Sit upright and closer to the steering
wheel than usual. Adjust the steering
wheel to a position comfortable for
you to drive.
Driving on snow-covered or icy
roads
僅 Start off slowly by applying the accel
-
erator pedal gently.
僅 Use snow tires or tire chains.
僅 Keep sufficient distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.
僅 Using the regenerative braking helps
the steering on the downhill. However
it is difficult to adjust the vehicle while
coasting, so avoid using the third level
of regenerative braking as much as
possible.
僅 Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent skids.
僅 It is difficult to start again if the vehicle
stops on an uphill road. Keep your dis
-
tance from other vehicles and drive
slowly.
Driving in sand or mud
僅 Maintain a slow, constant speed.
僅 Use tire chains driving in mud if nec
-
essary.
僅 Keep sufficient distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.
僅 Reduce vehicle speed and always
check the road condition.
僅 Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent getting stuck.
Driving up or down hills
僅 Driving uphill
- Before starting off, check if it is
possible to drive uphill.
- Drive as straight as possible.
僅 Driving downhill
- Do not change gear while driving
downhill. Select gear before driving
downhill.
- Drive straight as possible.
Driving through water
僅 Try to avoid driving in deep standing
water.
僅 If you need to drive in water, stop

Driving your vehicle 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
( ) appears, 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 when driv
-
ing up or down steep hills. The vehicle
may flip depending on the grade, ter
-
rain 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 9-7.)
僅 Make sure that AWD vehicle is towed
by a flatbed tow truck.
僅 AWD vehicles could change the
engagement status of the motor
according to the situation required.

All wheel drive (AWD)
(2WD/AWD) helps improve energy
efficiency and driving stability.
僅When the vehicle is stuck in snow,
sand or mud, place a non-slip material
under the drive wheels to provide
traction OR slowly spin the wheels in
forward and reverse directions which
causes a rocking motion that may free
the vehicle.
僅 When putting the tire chains to the
tire, be sure to attach the chain to the
two rear wheels. In this case, drive
below 20 mph (30 km/h) and mini
-
mize the driving distance. High-speed
or long-term driving with putting the
tire chains may cause malfunction or
damage to the all-wheel drive.
僅 If tire chains must be used, use fabric
snow chain and install the tire chain
after reviewing the instructions pro
-
vided with the tire chains. For more
information on Snow Tires and Tire
Chains, refer to "Winter driving" on
page 6-51.
Emergency precautions
Tires
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.
In case of emergency such as tire punc
-
ture, repair it using TMK (Tire Mobility
Kit) for temporary use. Afterwards, have
the tire be inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.
Towing
AWD vehicles must be towed with a
wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equip

these suggestions:
僅 Drive cautiously and allow extra dis
-
tance for braking.
僅 Avoid sudden braking or steering.
僅 When braking with non-ABS brakes
pump the brake pedal with a light up-
and-down motion until the vehicle is
stopped.
僅 Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS.
僅 If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use
the second gear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
僅 Use sand, rock salt, or other nonslip
material under the drive wheels to
provide traction when stalled in ice,
snow, or mud.
Reducing the risk of a rollover
This multi-purpose passenger vehicle is
defined as a Sport Utility vehicles (SUV).
Utility vehicles have a significantly
higher rollover rate than other types of
vehicles. SUV's have higher ground
clearance and a narrower track to make
them capable of performing in a wide
variety of offroad applications.
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

tions. Due to this risk, driver and passen
-
gers are strongly recommended to
buckle their seat belts.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person 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 cor
-
rectly may result in loss of control, an
accident or vehicle rollover.
僅 SUVs have a significantly higher roll
-
over rate than other types of vehicles.
僅 Specific design characteristics (higher

vers.
僅 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 prop

WARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with tires
designed to provide safe riding and han
-
dling capability. Do not use a size and
type of tire and wheel that is different
from the one that is originally installed
on your vehicle. 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.
If you nevertheless decide to equip your
vehicle with any tire/wheel combination
not recommended by Kia for off road
driving, you should not use these tires
for highway driving.
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 vehicle, 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 vehicle to avoid vehi
-
cle overheating and possible damage to
the reduction gear.
WARNING
Sudden Vehicle Movement
Do not attempt to rock the vehicle if
people or objects are nearby. The vehi
-
cle may suddenly move forward or
backwards as it becomes unstuck.

Driving your vehicle Special driving conditions
WARNING
Vehicle Rocking
Prolonged rocking may cause vehicle
overheating, reduction gear damage or
failure, and tire damage.
WARNING
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 stationary could
cause tires to overheat, which could
result in tire damage that may injure
bystanders.
The ESC system should be turned OFF
prior to rocking the vehicle.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in cor
-
ners, especially when roads are wet. Ide
-
ally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration. If you follow
these suggestions, tire wear will be held
to a minimum.
Driving at night
Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight,
here are some important tips to remem
-
ber:
僅 Slow down and keep more distance
between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there may
not be any street lights.
僅 Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other driver's headlights.
僅 Keep your headlights clean and prop
-
erly aimed. (On vehicles not equipped
with the automatic headlight aiming
feature.) Dirty or improperly aimed
headlights will make it much more dif
-
ficult to see at night.
僅 Avoid staring directly at the head
-
lights of oncoming vehicles. You could
be temporarily blinded, and it will take
several seconds for your eyes to read
-
just to the darkness.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you're not pre
-
pared for the slick pavement.
Here are a few things to consider when
driving in the rain:
僅 A heavy rainfall will make it harder to
see and will increase the distance
needed to stop your vehicle, so slow
down.
僅 Keep your windshield wiping equip
-
ment in good shape. Replace your
windshield wiper blades when they
show signs of streaking or missing
areas on the windshield.
僅 If your tires are not in good condition,
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.
僅 Turn on your headlights to make it
easier for others to see you.
僅 Driving too fast through large puddles
can affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.
僅 If you believe you may have gotten
your brakes wet, apply them lightly
while driving until normal braking
operation returns.
Driving your vehicle
506
Special driving conditions
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 distance
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.
If the brake system is wet and has
reduced braking effect or frequent
sounds when braking, adjust the setting
for the regenerative braking to '0' speed
with paddle shifter and apply the brake
pedal lightly several times. Maintain a
safe distance to dry the brake system.
Setting the regenerative braking to '0'
may reduce efficiency while braking sev
-
eral times for brake performance, but
this is normal. The regenerative braking
system will be normally operated after
-
wards.
Driving off-road
Drive carefully off-road because your
vehicle may be damaged by rocks or
roots of trees. Become familiar with the
off-road conditions where you are going
to drive before you begin driving.
Highway driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation pressures to
specification. Low tire inflation pressures
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/Overinflated Tires
Always check the tires for proper infla
-
tion before driving. Underinflated or
overinflated tires can cause poor han
-
dling, loss of vehicle control, and sudden
tire failure leading to accidents, injuries,
and even death. For proper tire pres
-
sures, refer to "Tires and wheels" on
page 10-4.
WARNING
Tire Tread
Always check the tire tread before driv
-
ing your vehicle. Worn-out tires can
result in loss of vehicle control. Worn-out
tires should be replaced as soon as pos
-
sible. For further information and tread
limits, refer to "Tires and wheels" on
page 9-19.

Driving your vehicle Winter driving
Winter driving
Severe weather conditions in the winter
result in greater wear and other prob
-
lems.
To minimize the problems of winter driv
-
ing, you should follow these sugges
-
tions:
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 necessary
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. Further
-
more, speeding, rapid acceleration, sud
-
den brake applications, and sharp turns
are potentially very hazardous practices.
During deceleration, use vehicle braking
to the fullest extent. Sudden brake appli
-
cations on snowy or icy roads may cause
skids to occur. You need to keep suffi
-
cient 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.
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 balance 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 equipment tires. You
should drive cautiously even when the
roads are clear. Check with the tire
dealer for maximum speed recommen
-
dations.
Do not install studded tires without first
checking local, state and municipal reg
-
ulations for possible restrictions against
their use.
WARNING
Snow Tire Size
Snow tires should be equivalent in size
and type to the vehicle's standard tires.
Otherwise, the safety and handling of
your vehicle may be adversely affected.
Tire chains
When using tire chains, install tire chains
only on the rear tires.
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 snow chains to prevent dam
-
age to your vehicle. Damage to your
vehicle caused by improper snow chain
use is not covered by your vehicle man
-
ufacturer's warranty.
Install tire chains only on the rear tires.

Winter driving
Always check chain installation for
proper mounting after driving approxi
-
mately 0.3~0.6 miles (0.5~1 km) to
ensure safe mounting. Retighten or
remount the chains if they are loose.
Chain installation
When installing chains, follow the manu

facturer's instructions and mount them
as tightly as possible. Drive slowly (less
than 20 mph (30 km/h)) with chains
installed. If you hear the chains contact
-
ing the body or chassis, stop and tighten
them. If they still make contact, slow
down until it stops. Remove the chains
as soon as you begin driving on cleared
roads.
When mounting snow chains, park the
vehicle on level ground away from traf
-
fic. Turn on the vehicle Hazard Warning
flashers and place a triangular emer
-
gency warning device behind the vehicle
if available. Always place the vehicle in P
(Park), apply the parking brake and turn
off the vehicle before installing snow
chains.
僅 The use of chains may adversely
affect vehicle handling.
僅 Do not exceed 20 mph (30 km/h) or
the chain manufacturer's recom
-
mended speed limit, whichever is
lower.
僅 Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, sharp turns, and other road
hazards, which may cause the vehicle
to bounce.
僅 Avoid sharp turns or locked-wheel
braking.
CAUTION
Snow Chains
僅 Chains that are the wrong size or
improperly installed can damage your
vehicle's brake lines, suspension,
body and wheels.
僅 Stop driving and retighten the chains
any time you hear them hitting the
vehicle.
Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high qual
-
ity 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, lubri
-
cates the water pump and prevents
freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish
your coolant refer to "Scheduled mainte
-
nance service" on page 9-7. Before win
-
ter, have your coolant tested to assure
that its freezing point is sufficient for the
temperatures anticipated during the
winter.
Check 12V battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the
battery system. Visually inspect the 12V
battery and cables (refer to "12V battery"
on page 9-17). The level of charge in
your battery can be checked by an
authorized Kia dealer or a service sta

tion.
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 internally, you may be able to
thaw it out by using a heated key. Han
-
dle 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 con
-
tainer. Window washer anti-freeze is
available from an authorized Kia dealer
and most auto parts outlets. Do not use
vehicle 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 posi
-
tion. 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 the park
-
ing brake may freeze, apply it only tem
-
porarily while you put the gear shifter
dial in P (Park) and block the rear wheels
so the vehicle cannot roll. Then release
the parking brake.
Don't let ice and snow accumu
-
late underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and
interfere with the steering. When driving
in severe winter conditions where this
may happen, you should periodically
check underneath the vehicle to be sure
the movement of the front wheels and
the steering components are not
obstructed.
Carry emergency equipment
Depending on the severity of the
weather, you should carry appropriate
emergency equipment. Some of the
items you may want to carry include tow
straps or chains, flashlight, emergency
flares, sand, shovel, jumper cables, win

Trailer towing
Trailer towing (if equipped)
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. Ask an
authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
Towing a Trailer
If you don't use the correct equipment
and drive improperly, you can lose con
-
trol 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 sec
-
tion.
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 lim
-
its.
CAUTION
Any part of the rear number plate or
lighting devices of the vehicle must not
be obscured by the mechanical coupling
device. If the rear number plate and/or
lighting devices can be obscured par
-
tially by any part of the mechanical cou
-
pling device, mechanical coupling
devices that can not be easily removed
or repositioned without use of any
tool, except an easily operated (i.e. an
effort not exceeding 20 N·m) release key
which is supplied by the manufacturer of
the coupling device, are not permitted
for use. Please note that the mechanical
coupling device that is fitted and not in
use must always be removed or reposi
-
tioned if the rear number plate and/or
rear lighting devices are obscured by
any part of the mechanical coupling
device.
NOTICE
僅 The technically permissible maximum
load on the rear axle(s) may be
exceeded by not more than 15% and
the technically permissible maximum
laden mass of the vehicle may be
exceeded by not more than 10% or
220.4 lbs (100 kg), whichever value is
lower. In this case, do not exceed 60
mph (100 km/h) for vehicle of cate
-
gory M1 or 50 mph (80 km/h) for
vehicle of category N1.
僅 When towing a trailer, the additional
load imposed at the trailer coupling
device may cause the rear tire maxi
-
mum load ratings to be exceeded, but
not by more than 15%. In such a case,
do not exceed 60 miles (100 km/h),
and the rear tire pressure should be at
least 0.2 bar (20 kPa) above the tire
pressure(s) as recommended for nor
-
mal 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
55

Driving your vehicle Trailer towing
your vehicle, refer to "Weight of the
trailer" on page 6-59 that appears later
in this section.
Remember that trailering is different
than just driving your vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes in handling,
durability, and electric energy economy.
Successful, safe trailering requires cor
-
rect equipment, and it has to be used
properly.
This section contains many time-tested,
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
motor, reduction gear, wheel assemblies,
and tires are forced to work harder
against the load of the added weight.
The motor is required to operate at rela
-
tively higher speeds and under greater
loads. This additional burden generates
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 underbody
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 rea
-
sons why you'll need the right hitch.
Here are some rules to follow:
僅 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, dirt and water
can get into your vehicle.
僅 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.
僅 Any part of the rear number plate or
lighting devices of the vehicle must
not be obscured by the mechanical
coupling device.
僅If the rear number plate and/or light
-
ing devices can be obscured partially
by any part of the mechanical cou
-
pling device, mechanical coupling
devices that can not be easily
removed or repositioned without use
of any tools, except an easily operated
(i.e. an effort not exceeding 20 Nm)
release key which is supplied by the
manufacturer of the coupling device,
are not permitted for use.
僅 Please note that the mechanical cou
-
pling device that is fitted and not in
use must always be removed or repo
-
sitioned if the rear number plate and/
or rear lighting devices are obscured
by any part of the mechanical cou
-
pling device.
僅 Kia trailer hitch accessory is available
at an authorized Kia dealer.
Safety chains
You should always attach chains
between your vehicle and your trailer.
Cross the safety chains under the
OCV051025N
Driving your vehicle
566
Trailer towing
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 manufacturer or
by the trailer manufacturer. 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 conforms to your
country's regulations and that it is prop
-
erly installed and operating correctly.
If your trailer weighs more than the max
-
imum trailer weight without trailer
brakes loaded, then it needs its own
brakes and they must be adequate. Be
sure to read and follow the instructions
for the trailer brakes so you'll be able to
install, adjust and maintain them prop
-
erly.
僅 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 sys
-
tem. This is not a task for amateurs. Use
an experienced, competent trailer shop
for this work.
Driving with a trailer
Towing a trailer requires a certain
amount of experience. Before setting
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 vehicle 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 driv
-
ing your vehicle without a trailer. This
can help you avoid situations that
require heavy braking and sudden turns.
Passing
You'll need more passing distance up
ahead when you're towing a trailer. And,
because of the increased vehicle 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.
57

Driving your vehicle Trailer towing
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 sudden 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 when
-
ever 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 dis
-
connect and then reconnect the wires.
Do not connect a trailer lighting system
directly to your vehicle's lighting system.
Use only an approved trailer wiring har
-
ness.
Have yourself assisted by a professional
authorized Kia dealer in installing the
wiring harness.
Visit an authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
Failure to use an approved trailer wiring
harness could result in damage to the
vehicle electrical system and/or personal
injury.
Detection of trailer light connec
-
tion
This functionality is only given with gen
-
uine accessories (tow bar and wiring
harness) that recognize when a trailer is
connected and consequently inform the
vehicle systems. Trailer recognition
works as follows: when a trailer socket is
plugged in, either the brake pedal shall
be pushed or turn signal lamps acti
-
vated; the electronic control unit will
then detect the trailer because of the
power consumption by the trailer light
-
ing and inform the vehicle systems.
When the trailer is disconnected, the
brake pedal shall be pushed again or
turn signal lamps activated for the con
-
trol unit to be able to detect that there is
no power consumption anymore by
trailer lighting; the assistance systems
that were turned off will automatically
turn on again.
It is the driver's responsibility to ensure
that all electrical connections are work
-
ing and all trailer lights are operating
before and during towing. You must per
-
form manual checks.
CAUTION
Use only genuine electrical connections.
Do not attempt to arbitrarily splice or
directly connect the trailer wiring using
any other methods. Doing so may dam
-
age the vehicle's electrical system,
resulting in malfunctions.
Driving on grades
Reduce the speed and shift to a lower
gear before you start down a long or
steep downgrade. If you don't shift
down, you might have to use your
brakes so much that they would get hot
and no longer operate efficiently.
Driving your vehicle
586
Trailer towing
On a long uphill grade, shift down and
reduce your speed to around 45 mph
(70 km/h) to reduce the possibility of
motor and reduction gear overheating.
CAUTION
僅 To prevent motor overheating: If you
tow a trailer with the maximum gross
vehicle weight and maximum trailer
weight, it can cause the motor to
overheat. When driving in such condi
-
tions, stop the vehicle until it cools
down. You may proceed once the
motor has cooled sufficiently. When
towing a trailer, your vehicle speed
may be much slower than the general
flow of traffic, especially when climb
-
ing an uphill grade. Use the outer lane
when towing a trailer on an uphill
grade. Choose your vehicle speed
according to the maximum posted
speed limit for vehicles with trailers,
the steepness of the grade, and your
trailer weight.
僅 You must decide the driving speed
depending on trailer weight and uphill
grade to reduce the possibility of
motor and reduction gear overheat
-
ing.
Parking on hills
Generally, if you have a trailer attached
to your vehicle, you should not park your
vehicle on a hill. People 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 direc
-
tion 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 parking brake
and slowly release the brakes until the
trailer chocks absorb the load.
5. Reapply the brakes, reapply the park
-
ing brake.
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 vehicle running, the
vehicle can move suddenly. You or oth
-
ers 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:
僅 Start your vehicle;
僅 Shift into gear; and
僅 Release the parking brake.
2. Slowly remove your foot from the
brake pedal.

Driving your vehicle Trailer towing
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 particular atten
-
tion to include reduction gear fluid, 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 maintenance
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
僅 Due to higher load during trailer
usage, overheating might occur in hot
days or during uphill driving. If the
coolant gauge indicates overheating,
switch off the A/C and stop the vehi
-
cle in a safe area to cool down the
motor.
僅 When towing, check the reduction
gear fluid more frequently.
僅 If your vehicle is not equipped with an
air conditioner, you should install a
condenser fan to improve motor per
-
formance when towing a trailer.
If you do decide to pull a trailer
Here are some important points if you
decide to pull a trailer:
僅 Consider using a sway control. You
can ask a hitch dealer about sway
control.
僅 Do not do any towing with your vehi
-
cle during its first 1,200 miles (2,000
km) in order to allow the motor to
properly break in. Failure to heed this
caution may result in serious motor or
reduction gear damage.
僅 When towing a trailer, consult an
authorized Kia dealer on additional
requirements such as a towing kit, etc.
僅 Always drive your vehicle at a moder
-
ate speed (less than 60 mph (100 km/
h)).
僅 On a long uphill grade, do not exceed
45 mph (70 km/h) or the posted tow
-
ing speed limit, whichever is lower.
僅 The chart contains important consid
-
erations that have to do with weight:
僅 The driving range of electric vehicle is
affected by the weight and the shape
of the trailer. Depending on the trailer,
the driving range can decrease up to
50%.
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
OCV051256N
Driving your vehicle
606
Trailer towing
grades, outside temperature and how
often your vehicle is used to pull a trailer
are all important. The ideal trailer weight
can also depend on any special equip
-
ment 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 vehicle. 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 maxi
-
mum of 10% of the total loaded trailer
weight, within the limits of the maximum
trailer tongue load permissible.
After you've loaded your trailer, weigh
the trailer and then the tongue, sepa
-
rately, to see if the weights are proper. If
they aren't, you may be able to correct
them simply by moving some items
around in the trailer.
WARNING
Trailer
僅 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.
僅 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 high
-
way patrol office equipped with
scales.
僅 An improperly loaded trailer can
cause loss of vehicle control.

Seating capacity:
Total: 5 persons (Front seat: 2
persons, Rear seat: 3 persons)
Seating capacity is the maximum
number of occupants including a

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.

(2) Determine the combined
weight of the driver and passen
-
gers 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
example, if the "XXX" amount
equals 1400 lbs. and there will be
five 150 lb passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity
is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) =
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.

Road warning
What to do in an emergency
Road warning
When an emergency situation occurs
while driving or when you park by the
edge of the roadway, you must alert
approaching or passing vehicles to be
careful as they pass. For this, you should
use the hazard warning flasher.
Hazard warning flasher
The hazard warning flasher serves as a
warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching,
overtaking, or passing your vehicle.
It should be used whenever emergency
repairs are being made or when the
vehicle is stopped near the edge of a
roadway.
Depress the flasher switch with the EV
button in any position. The flasher
switch is located in the center facia
panel. All turn signal lights will flash
simultaneously.
僅 The hazard warning flasher operates
whether your vehicle is running or not.
僅 The turn signals do not work when the
hazard flasher is on.
僅 Care must be taken when using the
hazard warning flasher while the vehi
-
cle is being towed.
In case of an emergency while
driving
The hazard warning flasher serves as a
warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching,
overtaking, or passing your vehicle.
If the vehicle stalls while driving
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keep
-
ing a straight line.
2. Move cautiously off the road to a safe
place.
3. Turn on your hazard warning flasher.
4. Try to start the vehicle again. If your
vehicle will not start, contact an
authorized Kia dealer or seek other
qualified assistance.
If the vehicle stalls at a crossroad
or crossing
1. If safe to do so, shift to the N (Neutral)
position.
2. Push the vehicle to a safe location.
If you have a flat tire while driv
-
ing
僅 Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow down
while driving straight ahead.
WARNING
Do not apply the brakes immediately to
slow down the vehicle.
僅 Use the paddle shifter (left side lever)

tings (infotainment system)" on
page 5-68).
NOTICE
僅 The tire pressure may change due to
factors such as parking condition,
driving style, and altitude above sea
level.
僅 Low tire pressure warning may sound
when a tire's pressure unit is equal or
higher than nearby tires. This is a nor
-
mal occurrence, which is due to the
change in tire pressure along with tire
temperature.
僅 The tire pressure shown on the dash
-
board may differ from the tire pres
-
sure measured by tire pressure
gauge.
Effective Use of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if pro
-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehi
-
cle placard or tire inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper
tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illumi
-
nates a low tire 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 signifi
-
cantly under- inflated tire causes the tire
to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi
-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect

stitute for proper tire maintenance, and
it is the driver's responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, even if under-infla
-
tion has not reached the level to trigger
illumination 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 operat
-
ing properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately 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 malfunc
-
tion indicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal low
tire pressure as intended. TPMS mal
-
functions may occur for a variety of rea
-
sons, including the installation of
replacement 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 replace

you cannot reach a service station or if
the tire cannot hold the newly added air,
OCV041126L

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
replace the low pressure tire with the
spare tire.
Then the TPMS malfunction indicator
and the Low Tire Pressure telltale may
turn on and appear after restarting and
about 20 minutes 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 illuminated if
the tire pressure was adjusted to the rec
-
ommended tire inflation pressure in
warm weather. It does not mean your
TPMS is malfunctioning because the
decreased temperature leads to a pro
-
portional lowering of tire pressure.
When you drive your vehicle from a
warm area to a cold area or from a cold
area to a warm area, or the outside tem
-
perature is greatly higher or lower, you
should check the tire inflation pressure
and adjust the tires to the recommended
tire inflation pressure.
When filling tires with more air, condi
-
tions to turn off the low tire pressure tell
-
tale may not be met. This is because a
tire inflator has a margin of error in per
-
formance. The low tire pressure telltale
will be turned off if the tire pressure is
above the recommended tire inflation
pressure.
WARNING
Low Pressure Damage
Do not drive on low pressure tires. Sig
-
nificantly low tire pressure can cause the
tires to overheat and fail making the
vehicle unstable resulting in increased
braking distances and a loss of vehicle
control.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) malfunction indicator
The low tire pressure telltale will appear
after it blinks for approximately one min
-
ute when there is a problem with the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
If the system is able to correctly detect
an underinflation warning at the same
time as system failure then it will illumi
-
nate both the TPMS malfunction and low
tire pressure position telltales e.g. if
Front Left sensor fails, the TPMS mal
-
function indicator appears, but if the
Front Right, Rear Left, or Rear Right tire
is under-inflated, the low tire pressure
position telltales may appear together
with the TPMS malfunction indicator.
Have the system checked by an autho
-
rized Kia dealer as soon as possible to
determine the cause of the problem.
僅 The TPMS malfunction indicator may
appear if the vehicle is moving around
electric power supply cables or radios
transmitters such as at police stations,
government and public offices, broad
-
casting stations, military installations,
airports, or transmitting towers, etc.
This can interfere with normal opera
-
tion of the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS).
僅 The TPMS malfunction indicator may
appear if snow chains are used or
some separate electronic devices
such as notebook computer, mobile
charger, remote starter or navigation
etc., are used in the vehicle. This can
interfere with normal operation of the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).
Tire replacement with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire Pres

tire repaired by an authorized Kia dealer
as soon as possible or replace the flat
tire with the spare tire.
CAUTION
Repair Agents
Never use a puncture-repairing agent
not approved by Kia to repair and/or
inflate a low pressure tire. The sealant
not approved by Kia may damage the
tire pressure sensor.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire pres
-
sure sensor mounted inside the tire
behind the valve stem. You must use
TPMS specific wheels. It is recom
-
mended that you always have 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 pres
-
sure tire is repaired and placed on the
vehicle.
After you replace the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the TPMS malfunc
-
tion indicator may appear after a few
minutes because the TPMS sensor
mounted on the spare wheel is not initi
-
ated.
Once the low pressure tire is inflated
again to the recommended pressure and
installed on the vehicle or the TPMS sen
-
sor mounted on the replaced spare
wheel is initiated by an authorized Kia
dealer, 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 initi
-
ated and the TPMS sensor on the origi
-
nal mounted wheel should be
deactivated. If the TPMS sensor on the
original mounted wheel located in the
spare tire carrier still activates, the tire
pressure monitoring system may not
operate properly. Have the tire with
TPMS serviced or replaced by an autho
-
rized Kia dealer.
You may not be able to identify a low tire
by simply looking at it. Always use a
good quality tire pressure gauge to mea
-
sure 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 measuring
the inflation pressure. Always be sure
the tire is cold before inflating to the rec
-
ommended pressure.
A cold tire means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours and driven for less
than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3 hour period.
Never use tire sealant if your vehicle is
equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitor
-
ing System. The liquid sealant can dam
-
age the tire pressure sensors.
僅 The TPMS cannot alert you to severe
and sudden tire damage caused by

Mobility Kit is only enough sealant for
one flat tire.
WARNING
Tire Wall
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit to repair
large punctures or damage to the tire
sidewalls. In these situations, the tire
cannot be sealed completely and air will
leak from the tire. This can result in tire
failure.

What to do in an emergency If you have a flat tire (with Tire Mobility Kit)
WARNING
Speed with Temporary Fix
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80
km/h) when driving with a tire sealed
with the Tire Mobility Kit.
While driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance, or
noise, reduce your speed and drive with
caution until you can safely pull off to
the side of the road.
Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay mobile
even after experiencing a tire puncture.
The system of compressor and sealing
compound effectively seals most punc
-
tures in a passenger car tire caused by
nails or similar objects and reinflates the
tire.
After you ensure that the tire is properly
sealed you can drive cautiously on the
tire at a max. speed of 50 mph (80 km/
h) in order to reach a service station or
tire dealer to have the tire replaced as
soon as possible.
It is possible that some tires, especially
with larger punctures or damage to the
sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may
adversely affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid abrupt
steering or other driving maneuvers,
especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded
or if a trailer is in use.
The Tire Mobility Kit is not designed or
intended as a permanent tire repair
method and is to be used for one tire
only.
This instruction shows you the step by
step procedure to temporarily seal the
puncture.
Read the section "Notes on the safe use
of the Tire Mobility Kit".
Notes on the safe use of the Tire
Mobility Kit

NOTICE
NHTSA Safety Corrosion Alert
NHTSA has warned all vehicle owners of
all brands that they must maintain their
vehicles in a manner which will prevent
brake hose and brake line failures due to
corrosion when such vehicles are
exposed to winter road salt and related
chemicals. While serious corrosion con
-
ditions typically only manifest them
-
selves as safety issues after 7 years of
vehicle use, the corrosion process starts
immediately, and thus, underbody
cleaning maintenance must commence
from your vehicle's first exposure to
road salts and chemicals. NHTSA urges
vehicle owners to take the following
steps to prevent corrosion:
1. Wash the undercarriage of your vehi
-
cle regularly throughout the winter
and do a thorough washing in the
spring to remove road salt and other
de-icing chemicals.
2. Monitor the brake system for signs of
corrosion by having regular profes
-
sional inspections and watching for
signs of problems, including loss of
brake fluid, unusual leaks and soft or
spongy feel in the brake pedal.
3. Replace the entire brake pipe assem
-
bly if you find severe corrosion that
causes scaling or flaking of brake
components.
Brake fluid
Check the brake fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir. The level should be
between "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the
side of the reservoir. Use only hydraulic
brake fluid conforming to DOT 4 specifi
-
cation.
Brake discs, pads and calipers
Check the pads for excessive wear, discs
for run out and wear, and calipers for
fluid leakage.
Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections for
looseness or damage. Retighten to the
specified torque.

boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and off, check
for excessive free-play in the steering
wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or damage.
Check the dust boots and ball joints for
deterioration, cracks, or damage.
Replace any damaged parts.
Drive shafts and boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and
clamps for cracks, deterioration, or dam
-
age. Replace any damaged parts and, if
necessary, repack the grease.
Air conditioning refrigerant
Check the air conditioning lines and con
-
nections for leakage and damage.
Coolant
The high-pressure cooling system has a
reservoir filled with year round anti
-
freeze coolant. The reservoir is filled at
the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at the
beginning of the winter season, and
before traveling to a colder climate.
WARNING
The electric motor
(cooling fan) is con
-
trolled by coolant tem
-
perature, refrigerant
pressure and vehicle
speed. It may some
-
times operate even when the vehicle is
not operating. Use extreme caution
when working near the blades of the
cooling fan so that you are not injured
by a rotating fan blades. As the coolant
temperature decreases, the electric
motor will automatically shut off. This is
a normal condition.
Check the condition and connections of
all cooling system hoses.
Replace any swollen or deteriorated
hoses. The coolant level should be filled
between F (MAX) and L (MIN) marks on
the side of the coolant reservoir when
motor compartment is cool. When the
coolant level (in the reservoir) is low,
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer. Use only desig
-
nated coolant water for electric vehicles,

adding other types of water or anti
-
freeze can damage the vehicle.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your coolant
level when the motor compartment is
hot. This may result in coolant being
blown out of the opening and cause seri
-
ous burns and other injuries.
Brake fluid
The brake fluid acts to transmit force to
the brake when the driver depresses the
brake pedal. Brake fluid must be main
-
tained periodically to ensure that the
brakes operate smoothly.
Checking the brake fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the reservoir.
1. Before removing the reservoir cap
and adding brake fluid, clean the area
around the reservoir cap thoroughly
to prevent brake fluid contamination.
CAUTION
Proper fluid
Only use brake fluid in the brake system.
Small amounts of improper fluids can
cause damage to the brake system.
2. Periodically check that the fluid level
in the brake fluid reservoir is between
MIN and MAX. The level will fall with
accumulated mileage. This is a normal
condition associated with the wear of
the brake linings. If the fluid level is
excessively low, have the brake sys
-
tem checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
Use only the specified brake fluid. (Refer
to "Recommended lubricants and capac
-
ities" on page 10-5.)
Never mix different types of fluid.

Maintenance Washer fluid
In the event the brake system requires
frequent additions of fluid, the vehicle
should be inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.
When changing and adding brake fluid,
handle it carefully. Do not let it come in
contact with your eyes. If brake fluid
should come in contact with your eyes,
immediately flush them with a large
quantity of fresh tap water. Have your
eyes examined by a doctor as soon as
possible.
CAUTION
Brake fluid
Do not allow brake fluid to contact the
vehicle's body paint, as paint damage
will result.
Brake fluid, which has been exposed to
open air for an extended time should
never be used as its quality cannot be
guaranteed. It should be disposed of
properly.
Washer fluid
Washer fluid is used when wiping the
windshield of the vehicle with a wind
-
shield wiper. You should check and refill
washer fluid periodically to make sure
that it doesn't run out.
Checking the washer fluid level
The reservoir is translucent so that you
can check the level with a quick visual
inspection.
僅 Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces
-
sary. Plain water may be used if
washer fluid is not available. However,
use washer solvent with antifreeze
characteristics in cold climates to pre
-
vent freezing.
WARNING
Flammable Fluid
Do not allow the washer fluid to come in
contact with open flames or sparks. The
windshield washer fluid reservoir is flam
-
mable under certain circumstances. This
can result in a fire.
WARNING
Coolant
僅Do not use radiator coolant or anti

ommended tire inflation pres
-
sures and stay within the load
limits and weight distribution rec
-
ommended for your vehicle.
Recommended cold tire infla
-
tion 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
one 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 10-4
.
All specifications (sizes and pres
-
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the driver's side cen
-
ter pillar.
WARNING
Tire Underinflation
Inflate your tires consistent with
the instructions provided in this
manual. Severe underinflation
(10 psi (70 kPa) or more) can
lead to severe heat build-up,
causing blowouts, tread separa
-
tion and other tire failures that
can result in the loss of vehicle
control. This risk is much higher
on hot days and when driving for
long periods at high speeds.
Failure to maintain specified
pressure may result in excessive
wear, poor handling, reduced
fuel economy, deformation of
tire and/or wheel, harsh ride con
-
ditions, possibility for additional
damage from road hazards, or
result in tire failure.
Tire pressure
Always observe the following:
僅 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 one mile (1.6 km)
since startup.)
僅 Check the pressure of your
spare tire each time you check
the pressure of other tires.
僅 Never overload your vehicle.
Be careful not to overload a
vehicle luggage rack if your
vehicle is equipped with one.

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 pres
-
sure
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 prop
-
erly inflated even when they're
underinflated.
Check the tire's inflation pressure
when the tires are cold. "Cold"
means your vehicle has been sit
-
ting for 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 pres
-
sure measurement. If the cold
tire inflation pressure matches
the recommended pressure on
the tire and loading informa
-
tion label, no further adjust
-
ment is necessary.
3. If the pressure is low, add air
until you reach the recom
-
mended 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 causing
poor handling, loss of vehicle
control, and sudden tire failure
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.

Maintenance Tires and wheels
Tire rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is rec
-
ommended 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 alignment, out
of-balance wheels, severe brak
-
ing 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
pressures to specification and
check lug nut tightness.
Refer to
"Tires and wheels" on page
10-4
.
Disc brake pads should be
inspected for wear whenever
tires are rotated.
Rotate radial tires that have an
asymmetric tread pattern only
from front to rear and not from
right to left.
WARNING
Mixing Tires
Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tires under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics.
Wheel alignment and tire bal
-
ance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at
the factory to give you the lon
-
gest tire life and best overall per
-
formance.
In most cases, you will not need
to have your wheels aligned
again. However, 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 vibrat
-
ing when driving on a smooth
road, your wheels may need to
be rebalanced.
CAUTION
Wheel Weight
Improper wheel weights can
damage your vehicle's alumi
-
num wheels. Use only approved
wheel weights.
OCV072055

Tires and wheels
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
inch (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 ABS (Anti-lock Brake Sys
-
tem) 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 sup
-
plied with the vehicle. Using tires
of a different size can cause the
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
and ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) to work irregularly.
It is best to replace all four tires
at the same time. If that is not
possible, 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
replacing tires, use the same
originally supplied with the vehi
-
cles. 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 diame
-
ter, rim width and offset.
A wheel that is not the correct
size may adversely affect wheel
and bearing life, braking and
stopping abilities, handling char
-
acteristics, ground clearance,
body-to-tire clearance, snow
chain clearance, speedometer
and odometer calibration, head
-
light aim and bumper height.
CAUTION
Wheels
Wheels that do not meet Kia
specifications may fit poorly and
result in damage to the vehicle or
unusual handling and poor vehi

Maintenance Tires and wheels
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,
correct wheel alignment helps to
decrease tire wear.
If you find a tire is worn
unevenly, have your dealer
check the wheel alignment.
When you have new tires
installed, make sure they are bal
-
anced. This will increase vehicle
ride comfort and tire life. Addi
-
tionally, a tire should always be
rebalanced if it is removed from
the wheel.
Tire sidewall labeling
This information identifies and
describes the fundamental char

trol and an accident.
4. Tire ply composition and
material
The number of layers or plies of
rubber- coated fabric in the tire.
Tire manufacturers also must
indicate the materials in the tire,
which include steel, nylon, poly
-
ester, and others. The letter "R"
means radial ply construction;
the letter "D" means diagonal or
bias ply construction; and the let
-
ter "B" means belted-bias ply
construction.
5. Maximum permissible infla
-
tion pressure
This number is the greatest
amount of air pressure that
should be put in the tire. Do not
exceed the maximum permissi
-
ble inflation pressure. Refer to
the Tire and Loading Informa
-
tion label for recommended
inflation pressure.
6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maxi
-
mum 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 Grad
-
ing
Quality grades can be found
where applicable on the tire side
-
wall between tread shoulder and
maximum section width.
For example:
僅Treadwear 200
僅Traction AA
僅Temperature A
Tires degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.
Regardless of the remaining
tread, we recommend that tires
be replaced after approximately
six (6) years of normal service.
Heat caused by hot climate or
frequent high loading conditions
can accelerate the aging process.
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a com
-
parative rating based on the
wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a
specified government test
course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one-and-
a-half times (1½) as well on the
government course as a tire
graded 100.
The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual condi

Tires and wheels
tions of their use, however, and
may depart significantly from the
norm due to variations in driving
habits, service practices and dif
-
ferences in road characteristics
and climate.
These grades are molded on the
side-walls of passenger vehicle
tires. The tires available as stan
-
dard or optional equipment on
your vehicle 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 specified govern
-
ment test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tire marked C may
have poor traction performance.
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 characteristics.
Temperature -A, B & C
The temperature grades are A
(the highest), B and C represent
-
ing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability
to dissipate heat when tested
under controlled conditions on a
specified indoor laboratory test
wheel.
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 corresponds 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 per
-
formance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum
required by law.

All season tires
Kia specifies all season tires on
some models to provide good
performance for use all year
round, including snowy and icy
road conditions.
All season tires are identified by
ALL SEASON and/or M+S (Mud
and Snow) on the tire sidewall.
Snow tires have better snow trac
-
tion than all season tires and
may be more appropriate in
some areas.
Summer tires
Kia specifies summer tires on
some models to provide superior
performance 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 rec
-
ommends 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
handling 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 pil
-
lar, or up to the maximum pres
-
Maintenance
309
Tires and wheels
sure shown on the tire sidewall,
whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph
(120 km/h) when your vehicle is
equipped with snow tires.
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 brak
-
ing 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 vehi
-
cle. Both types of tires are identi
-
fied 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 rear wheels.
Be sure that the chains are
installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
To minimize tire and chain wear,
do not continue to use tire chains
when they are no longer needed.
僅 When driving on roads covered
with snow or ice, drive at less
than 20 mph (30 km/h).
僅 If you hear noise caused by
chains contacting the body,
retighten the chain to avoid
contact with the vehicle body.
僅 To prevent body damage,
retighten the chains after driv
-
ing 0.3~0.6 miles (0.5~1.0 km).
僅 Do not use tire chains on vehi
-
cles equipped with aluminum
wheels. In unavoidable circum
-
stance, use fabric type snow
chains.
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 construc
-
tion, and are selected to comple
-
ment 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
recommended. Any combina
-
tions 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.

Maintenance Tires and wheels
Longer wearing tires can be
more susceptible to irregular
tread wear. It is very important to
follow the tire rotation interval
shown in this section to achieve
the tread life potential of these
tires. Cuts and punctures in
radial-ply tires are repairable
only in the tread area, because of
sidewall flexing. Consult your tire
dealer for radial-ply tire repairs.
Low aspect ratio tire (if
equipped)
Low aspect ratio tires, whose
aspect ratio is lower than 50, are
provided for sporty looks.
Because the low aspect ratio tires
are optimized for handling and
braking, it may be more uncom
-
fortable to ride in and there is
more noise compare with normal
tires.
CAUTION
Because the sidewall of the low
aspect ratio tire is shorter than
the normal, the wheel and tire of
the low aspect ratio tire is easier
to be damaged. So, follow the
instructions below.
僅 When driving on a rough road
or off road, drive cautiously
because tires and wheels may
be damaged. And after driving,
inspect tires and wheels.
僅 When passing over a pothole,
speed bump, manhole, or curb
stone, drive slowly so that the
tires and wheels are not dam
-
aged.
僅 If the tire is impacted, we rec
-
ommend that you inspect the
tire condition or contact an
authorized Kia dealer.
僅 To prevent damage to the tire,
inspect the tire condition and
pressure every 1,900 miles
(3,000 km).
僅 It is not easy to recognize the
tire damage with your own
eyes. But if there is the slight
-
est hint of tire damage, even
though you cannot see the tire
damage with your own eyes,
have the tire checked or
replaced because the tire dam
-
age may cause air leakage
from the tire.
僅 If the tire is damaged by driv
-
ing on a rough road, off road,
pothole, manhole, or curb
stone, it will not be covered by
the warranty.
僅 You can find out the tire infor
-
mation on the tire sidewall.

appropriate wattage ratings in case of
emergencies.
Refer to "Bulb wattage" on page 10-3.
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 the vehi
-
cle EV button is in the OFF position 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 wiring system.
CAUTION
Headlamp Lens
To prevent damage, do not clean the
headlamp lens with chemical solvents or
strong detergents.
NOTICE
僅 If the light bulb or lamp connector is
removed while the lamp is still on, the
fuse box's electronic system may log
it as a malfunction. Therefore, a lamp
malfunction incident may be recorded
as a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in
the fuse box.
僅 It is normal for an operating lamp to
flicker momentarily. This is due 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 nor
-
mal.
However, if the lamp continues to
flicker several times or turns off com
-
pletely, 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 your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer after an accident
or after the headlight assembly is rein
-
stalled.
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 difference between the
inside and the outside of the lamp and
does not mean a problem with its func
-
tions. 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

NOTICE
Matte paint finish vehicle (if
equipped)
Automatic car wash which uses rotating
brushes should not be used as this can
damage the surface of your vehicle. A
steam cleaner which washes the vehicle
surface at high temperature may cause
the oil to adhere and leave stains that
are difficult to remove.
Use a soft cloth (e.g. microfiber towel or
sponge) when washing your vehicle and
dry with a microfiber towel. When you
hand wash your vehicle, you should not
use a cleaner that finishes with wax.
Waxing
Wax the vehicle when water will no lon

Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing. Use a good quality liquid or
paste wax, and follow the manufac
-
turer's instructions. Wax all metal trim to
protect it and to maintain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materials
with a spot remover will usually strip the
wax from the finish. Be sure to re-wax
these areas even if the rest of the vehicle
does not yet need waxing.
CAUTION
Drying vehicle
僅 Wiping dust or dirt off the body with a
dry cloth will scratch the finish.
僅 Do not use steel wool, abrasive clean

NOTICE
Matte paint finish vehicle (if
equipped)
Do not use any polish protector such as
a detergent, an abrasive or a polish. In
case wax is applied, remove the wax
immediately using a silicon remover and
if any tar or tar contaminant is on the
surface use a tar remover to clean. How
-
ever, be careful not to apply too much
pressure on the painted area.
Finish damage repair
Deep scratches or stone chips in the
painted surface must be repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly rust

is difficult to restore the quality after the
repair.
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 preservative 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-cor
-
rosive petroleum jelly or other protective
compound.
Underbody maintenance
Road salt and other corrosive chemicals
are used in cold weather states to melt
snow and prevent ice accumulation. If
these chemicals are not regularly
removed, they will corrode the vehicle
underbody and over time damage the
vehicle suspension, and even the body
frame.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration has warned all vehicle
owners of all brands of the need to take
the following steps:
僅 Wash the undercarriage of your vehi
-
cle regularly during the winter and
whenever your vehicle has been
exposed to such salts or chemicals.
僅 Do a thorough washing of the under
-
carriage at the end of the winter.
僅 Use professional service technicians
or governmental inspection stations
to annually inspect for corrosion.
僅 Immediately seek an inspection of
your vehicle if you become visually
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, impair
-
ment of directional control, suspen
-
sion noises or rattling metal straps.
Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels are coated with a
clear protective finish.
僅 Do not use any abrasive cleaner, pol
-
ishing compound, solvent, or wire
brushes on aluminum wheels. They
may scratch or damage the finish.
僅 Clean the wheel when it has cooled.
僅 Use only a mild soap or neutral deter
-
gent, and rinse thoroughly with water.
Also, be sure to clean the wheels after
driving on salted roads. This helps
prevent corrosion.
僅 Avoid washing the wheels with high
-
speed vehicle wash brushes.
僅Do not use any alkaline or acid deter
-

quality. However, this is only part of the
job. To achieve the long-term corrosion
resistance your vehicle can deliver, the
49

Maintenance Appearance care
owner's cooperation and assistance is
also required.
Common causes of corrosion
The most common causes of corrosion
on your vehicle are:
僅 Road salt, dirt and moisture that is
allowed to accumulate underneath
the vehicle.
僅 Removal of paint or protective coat
-
ings by stones, gravel, abrasion or
minor scrapes and dents which leave
unprotected metal exposed to corro
-
sion.
High-corrosion areas
If you live in an area where your vehicle
is regularly exposed to corrosive materi
-
als, corrosion protection is particularly
important. Some of the common causes
of accelerated 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, particularly when tem
-
peratures are just above freezing. In
such conditions, 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 con
-
tact with the vehicle. Although the mud
appears to be dry, it can still retain the
moisture and promote corrosion.
High temperatures can also accelerate
corrosion of parts that are not properly
ventilated so the moisture can be dis
-
persed. For all these reasons, it is partic
-
ularly 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 following:
Keep your vehicle clean
The best way to prevent corrosion is to
keep your vehicle clean and free of cor
-
rosive materials. Attention to the under
-
side of the vehicle is particularly
important.
If you live in a high-corrosion area —
where road salts are used, near the
ocean, areas with industrial pollution,
acid rain, etc.—, 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 vehicle,
give particular attention to the compo
-
nents under the fenders and other areas
that are hidden from view. Do a thor
-
ough job; just dampening the accumu
-
lated mud rather than washing it away
will accelerate corrosion rather than pre
-
vent it. Water under high pressure and
steam are particularly effective in
removing accumulated mud and corro
-
sive materials.
When cleaning lower door panels, rocker
panels and frame members, be sure that
drain holes are kept open so that mois
-
ture can escape and not be trapped
inside to accelerate corrosion.
Maintenance
509
Appearance care
Keep your garage dry
Don't park your vehicle in a damp,
poorly ventilated garage. This creates 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 contribute to corrosion
unless it is well ventilated so moisture is
dispersed.
Keep paint and trim in good con
-
dition
Scratches or chips in the finish should be
covered with "touch-up" paint as soon as
possible to reduce the possibility of cor
-
rosion. 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.
Always remove bird droppings as soon
as possible.
Don't neglect the interior
Moisture can collect under the floor
mats and carpeting and cause corrosion.
Check under the mats periodically 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 sec
-
tions to maintain the interior of your
vehicle.
Interior general precautions
CAUTION
Prevent chemicals such as perfume, cos
-
metic oil, sun cream, hand cleaner, and
air freshener from contacting the interior
parts because they may cause damage
or discoloration. If they do contact the
interior parts, wipe them off immedi
-
ately. If necessary, use a mixture of
warm water and mild non-detergent
cleaner (test all cleaners on a concealed
area before use). Use proper car cleaner
to clean interior parts.
CAUTION
Electrical components
Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electrical/electronic
components inside the vehicle as this
may damage them.
CAUTION
Leather
When cleaning leather products (steer

ing wheel, seats etc.), use neutral deter
-
gents or low alcohol content solutions. If
you use high 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
僅 Vacuum the seat periodically to
remove dust and sand on the seat. It
will prevent abrasion or damage of
the leather and maintain its quality.
僅 Wipe the leather seat cover often with
dry or soft cloth.

CAUTION
When replacing tires, use the same size
as those originally supplied with the
vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can dam
-
age the related parts or make them work
irregularly.
NOTICE
僅 It is permissible to add 3 psi to the
standard tire pressure specification if
colder temperatures are expected
soon.
Tires typically loose 1 psi for every 12
°F temperature drop. If extreme tem
-
perature variations are expected,
recheck your tire pressure as neces
-
sary to keep them properly inflated.
僅 We recommend that when replacing
tires, use the same originally supplied
with the vehicles. If not, that affects
driving performance.
僅 When driving in high altitude grades,
it is natural for the atmospheric pres
-
sure to decrease. Therefore, please
check the tire pressure and add more
air when necessary.

smiths to help you should you become
locked out of your Kia.
In the event that mechanical difficulty
renders your vehicle undriveable due to
a warranty-related concern, Kia's Road
-
side Assistance Representative will
arrange to transport your vehicle to the
nearest Kia dealer or to an authorized
Kia alternative service location.
Your vehicle must be accessible to our

NOTICE
Roadside Assistance benefits are not
available for any Kia vehicle that has

Registering your vehicle in a for
-
eign country
If you plan to register your vehicle in a
foreign country, you should confirm that
it conforms to the regulations in that
country. Even if you successfully register
the vehicle in a foreign country, you may
experience the following problems and
should therefore consider the possibility
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 injec
-
tion system, and other fuel-related
parts which may not be covered
under your New Vehicle Emissions
Limited Warranty.
2. We must, therefore, clearly state that
when you leave the country in which
you purchased your Kia new and reg
-
ister 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 mar
-
keted in the new country of registra
-
tion, parts, servicing 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 addi
-
tionally experience difficulty in obtain
-
ing services in a foreign country for
any number of reasons.
Further, we cannot assume any respon
-
sibility for problems that result from
unsatisfactory service or lack of service
outside of the United States.

ably expected operating conditions.
However, before any additional electrical
equipment is installed in your vehicle,
consult an Authorized Kia Dealer, in
order to ensure that you do not void
your warranty.
Certain electrical equipment, or the way
in which it is installed, may adversely
affect the operation of your vehicle,
including such systems as the engine
control system, the audio system and
the electrical charging system and thus
potentially void all or part of your war

function of your vehicle or any of its
components or systems that may result
from the installation of additional electri

recommended for installation by, Kia.
Installation of a mobile two-way
radio system
If a mobile two-way radio system is
installed improperly, or if an excessively
powerful type of system is used, other
electronic systems may be adversely
affected. To avoid damage to your vehi
