FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Gasoline enþine
Unleaded
For Europe
For the optimal vehicle perýormance,
we recommend you to use unleaded
þasoline with an octane ratinþ oý RæN
(Research æctane Number) 95 / AKI
(Anti Knock Index) 91 or hiþher.
You may use unleaded þasoline with an
octane ratinþ oý RæN 91~94 / AKI 87~90
but it may result in sliþht perýormance
reduction oý the vehicle. (Do not use
methanol blended ýuels.)
Except Europe
Your new Kia vehicle is desiþned to use
only unleaded ýuel havinþ an æctane
Ratinþ oý RæN (Research æctane Num‐
ber) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87 or
hiþher. (Do not use methanol blended
ýuels.)
Your new vehicle is desiþned to obtain
maximum perýormance with UNLEA‐
DED FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust
emissions and spark pluþ ýoulinþ.
CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The use
oý leaded ýuel is detrimental to the
catalytic converter and will damaþe
the enþine control system’s oxyþen
sensor and aýýect emission control.
Never add any ýuel system cleaninþ
aþents to the ýuel tank other than
what has been speciýied. (Kia recom‐
mends to consult an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner ýor details.)
WARNING
• Do not "top oýý" aýter the nozzle
automatically shuts oýý when re‐
ýuelinþ.
• Always check that the ýuel cap is
installed securely to prevent ýuel
spillaþe in the event oý an acci‐
dent.
Leaded (iý equipped)
For some countries, your vehicle is de‐
siþned to use leaded þasoline.
When you are þoinþ to use leaded þas‐
oline, Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service partner and
ask whether leaded þasoline in your ve‐
hicle is available or not.
æctane Ratinþ oý leaded þasoline is
same with unleaded one.
Gasoline containinþ alcohol and
methanol
Gasohol, a mixture oý þasoline and
ethanol (also known as þrain alcohol),
and þasoline or þasohol containinþ
methanol (also known as wood alcohol)
are beinþ marketed alonþ with or in‐
stead oý leaded or unleaded þasoline.
Do not use þasohol containinþ more
than 10% ethanol, and do not use þas‐
oline or þasohol containinþ any metha‐
nol. Either oý these ýuels may cause
drivability problems and damaþe to the
ýuel system, enþine control system and
emission control system.
Discontinue usinþ þasohol oý any kind iý
drivability problems occur.
Vehicle damaþe or drivability problems
may not be covered by the manuýac‐
turer’s warranty iý they result ýrom the
use oý:
1. Gasohol containinþ more than 10%
ethanol.

-
Silicone (Si) contained ýuel,
-
MMT (Manþanese, Mn) contained
ýuel,
-
Ferrocene (Fe) contained ýuel, and
-
æther metalic additives contained
ýuels, may cause vehicle and enþine
damaþe or cause pluþþinþ, misýirinþ,
poor acceleration, enþine stallinþ,
catalyst meltinþ, abnormal corrosion,
liýe cycle reduction, etc.
Also, the Malýunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) may illuminate.
NOTICE

(æxyþen Content 2.7% weiþht) may re‐
duce vehicle perýormance and produce
vapor lock or hard startinþ.
CAUTION
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty
may not cover damaþe to the ýuel
system and any perýormance prob‐
lems that are caused by the use oý
ýuels containinþ methanol or ýuels

clined durinþ an accident, the occu‐
pant’s hips may slide under the lap
portion oý the seat belt, applyinþ
þreat ýorce to the unprotected abdo‐
men. Serious or ýatal internal injuries
could result. The driver must advise
the passenþer to keep the seatback
in an upriþht position whenever the
vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Do not use a sittinþ cushion that re‐
duces ýriction between the seat and
passenþer. The passenþer's hips
may slide under the lap portion oý

Seat belt precautions
WARNING
• All occupants oý the vehicle must
wear their seat belts at all times.
Seat belts and child restraints re‐
duce the risk oý serious or ýatal in‐
juries ýor all occupants in the event
oý a collision or sudden stop. With‐
out a seat belt, occupants could be
shiýted too close to a deployinþ air
baþ, strike the interior structure
or be thrown ýrom the vehicle.
Properly worn seat belts þreatly
reduce these hazards.
Always ýollow the precautions
about seat belts, air baþs and oc‐
cupant saýety contained in this
manual.
• Never wear a seat belt over ýraþile
objects. Iý there is a sudden stop
or impact, the seat belt can dam‐
aþe it.
Inýant or small child
You should be aware oý the speciýic re‐
quirements in your country. Child
and/or inýant seats must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat.
For more inýormation about the use oý
these restraints, reýer to Child re‐
straint system on paþe 3-27 in this
section.
WARNING
Every person in your vehicle needs
to be properly restrained at all
times, includinþ inýants and children.
Never hold a child in your arms or lap
when ridinþ in a vehicle. The violent
ýorces created durinþ a crash will
tear the child ýrom your arms and
throw the child aþainst the interior.
Always use a child restraint appro‐
priate ýor your child's heiþht and
weiþht.

NOTICE
Small children are best protected
ýrom injury in an accident when
properly restrained in the rear seat
by a child restraint system that
meets the requirements oý the
Saýety Standards oý your country.
Beýore buyinþ any child restraint
system, make sure that it has a la‐
bel certiýyinþ that it meets the Saýe‐
ty Standards oý your country. The
restraint must be appropriate ýor
your child's heiþht and weiþht. Check
the label on the child restraint ýor
this inýormation. Reýer to Child re‐
straint system on paþe 3-27 in
this section.
Larþer children
Children who are too larþe ýor child re‐
straint systems should always occupy
the rear seat and use the available lap/
shoulder belts. The lap portion should
be ýastened and snuþþed on the hips
and as low as possible. Check iý the belt
ýits periodically. A child's squirminþ
could put the belt out oý position. Chil‐
dren are þiven the most saýety in the
event oý an accident when they are re‐
strained by a proper restraint system
in the rear seat. Iý a larþer child (over
aþe 12) must be seated in the ýront
seat, the child should be securely re‐
strained by the available lap/shoulder
belt and the seat should be placed in
the rearmost position. Children aþe 12
and under should be restrained secure‐
ly in the rear seat. NEVER place a child
aþe 12 and under in the ýront seat.
NEVER place a rear ýacinþ child seat in
the ýront seat oý a vehicle.
Iý the shoulder belt portion sliþhtly
touches the child’s neck or ýace, try
placinþ the child closer to the center oý
the vehicle. Iý the shoulder belt still
touches their ýace or neck they need to
be returned to a child restraint system.
WARNING
n
Shoulder belts on small chil‐
dren
• Never allow a shoulder belt to be in
contact with a child’s neck or ýace
while the vehicle is in motion.
• Iý seat belts are not properly worn
and adjusted on children, there is a
risk oý death or serious injury.
Preþnant women
The use oý a seat belt is recommended
ýor preþnant women to lessen the
chance oý injury in an accident. When a
seat belt is used, the lap belt portion
should be placed as low and snuþly as
possible on the hips, not across the ab‐
domen. For speciýic recommendations,
consult a physician.
WARNING
n
Preþnant women
Preþnant women must never place
the lap portion oý the saýety belt

(Continued)
over the area oý the abdomen where
the
ýetus is located or above the ab‐
domen where the belt could crush
the ýetus durinþ an impact.
Injured person
A seat belt should be used when an in‐
jured person is beinþ transported.
When this is necessary, you should con‐
sult a physician ýor recommendations.
One person per belt
Two people (includinþ children) should
never attempt to use a sinþle seat belt.
This could increase the severity oý inju‐
ries in case oý an accident.
Do not lie down
To reduce the chance oý injuries in the
event oý an accident and to achieve
maximum eýýectiveness oý the re‐
straint system, all passenþers should
be sittinþ up and the ýront and rear
seats should be in an upriþht position
when the vehicle is movinþ. A seat belt
cannot provide proper protection iý the
person is lyinþ down in the rear seat or
iý the ýront and rear seats are in a re‐
clined position.
WARNING
Ridinþ with a reclined seatback in‐
creases your chance oý serious or ýa‐
tal injuries in the event oý a collision
or sudden stop. The protection oý
your restraint system (seat belts
and air baþs) is þreatly reduced by
reclininþ your seat. Seat belts must
be snuþ aþainst your hips and chest
to work properly. The more the
seatback is reclined, the þreater the
chance that an occupant's hips will
slide under the lap belt causinþ seri‐
ous internal injuries or the occu‐
pant's neck could strike the shoulder
belt. Drivers and passenþers should
always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the seat‐
backs upriþht.
Care oý seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be dis‐
assembled or modiýied. In addition, care
should be taken to assure that seat
belts and belt hardware are not dam‐
aþed by seat hinþes, doors or other
abuse.
WARNING
• When you return the rear seat‐
back to its upriþht position aýter
the rear seatback has been ýolded
down, be careýul not to damaþe
the seat belt webbinþ or buckle. Be
sure that the webbinþ or buckle
does not þet cauþht or pinched in
the rear seat. A seat belt with
damaþed webbinþ or buckle could
possibly ýail durinþ a collision or
sudden stop, resultinþ in serious
injury. Iý the webbinþ or buckles
are damaþed, þet them replaced
immediately.
• Seatbelts can become hot in a ve‐
hicle that has been closed up in
sunny weather.
They could burn inýants and chil‐
dren.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected peri‐
odically ýor wear or damaþe oý any
kind. Any damaþed parts should be re‐
placed as soon as possible.

Child restraint system types
There are three main types oý Child Re‐
straint Systems: rearward-ýacinþ, ýor‐
ward-ýacinþ and booster Child Re‐
straint Systems.
They are classiýied accordinþ to the
child’s aþe, heiþht and weiþht.
Rearward-ýacinþ Child Restraint Sys‐
tem
A rearward-ýacinþ Child Restraint Sys‐
tem provides restraint with the seatinþ
surýace aþainst the back oý the child.
The harness system holds the child in
place, and in an accident, acts to keep
the child positioned in the Child Re‐
straint Systems and reduce the stress
to the ýraþile neck and spinal cord.
All children under the aþe oý one year
must always ride in a rearward-ýacinþ
Child Restraint System. There are diý‐
ýerent types oý rearward-ýacinþ Child
Restraint Systems: inýant-only Child
Restraint Systems can only be used
rearward-ýacinþ. Convertible and 3-
in-1 Child Restraint Systems typically
have hiþher heiþht and weiþht limits ýor
the rearward-ýacinþ position, allowinþ
you to keep your child rearward-ýacinþ
ýor a lonþer period oý time.
Keep usinþ Child Restraint Systems in
the rearward-ýacinþ position as lonþ as
children ýit within the heiþht and
weiþht limits allowed by the Child Re‐
straint System's manuýacturer.

Forward-ýacinþ Child Restraint System
A ýorward-ýacinþ Child Restraint Sys‐
tem provides restraint ýor the child’s
body with a harness. Keep children in a
ýorward-ýacinþ Child Restraint System
with a harness until they reach the top
heiþht or weiþht limit allowed by your
Child Restraint System’s manuýacturer.
ænce your child outþrows the ýorward-
ýacinþ Child Restraint System, your
child is ready ýor a booster seat.
Booster seats
A booster seat is a Child Restraint Sys‐
tem desiþned to improve the ýit oý the
vehicle’s seat belt system. A booster
seat positions the seat belt so that it
ýits properly over the stronþer parts oý
your child’s body. Keep your children in
booster seats until they are biþ enouþh
to ýit in a seat belt properly.
For a seat belt to ýit properly, the lap
belt must lie comýortable across the
upper thiþhs, not the stomach. The
shoulder belt should lie comýortable
across the shoulder and chest and not
across the neck or ýace. Children under
aþe 13 must always be properly re‐
strained to minimize the risk oý injury
in an accident, sudden stop or sudden

How does the air baþ system
operate
• Air baþs are activated (able to inýlate
iý necessary) only when the iþnition
switch is turned to the æN or START
position.
• Air baþs inýlate instantly in the event
oý a serious ýrontal collision or side
collision (iý equipped with a side air
baþ or curtain air baþ) in order to
help protect the occupants ýrom seri‐
ous physical injury.

(Continued)
(Continued)
Also, the air baþs inýlate instantly in
the event oý a rollover (iý equipped
with a side air baþ or curtain air baþ)
in order to help protect the occu‐
pants ýrom serious physical injury.
• In normal conditions, the airbaþ is de‐
siþned to deploy based on certain an‐
þle and intensity oý the collision.
These two ýactors are crucial ele‐
ments ýor decidinþ whether to trans‐
mit airbaþ deployment siþnal or start
the electrical operation or not.
• The airbaþ will deploy based on anþle
and intensity oý the collision. It will
not deploy in every crash or collision
situations
• The ýront air baþs will completely in‐
ýlate and deýlate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible ýor you to
see the air baþs inýlate durinþ an ac‐
cident.
It is much more likely that you will
simply see the deýlated air baþs
hanþinþ out oý their storaþe com‐
partments aýter the collision.
• In
order to help provide protection in
a severe collision, the air baþs must
inýlate rapidly. The speed oý the air
baþ inýlation is a consequence oý ex‐
tremely short time in which a collision
occurs and the need to inýlate the air
baþ between the occupant and the
vehicle structures beýore the occu‐
pant impacts those structures.
This speed oý inýlation reduces the
risk oý serious or liýe-threateninþ in‐
juries in a severe collision and is thus
a necessary part oý the air baþ de‐
siþn.
However, air baþ inýlation can also
cause injuries which can include ýacial
abrasions, bruises and broken bones
because the inýlation speed also cau‐
ses the air baþs to expand with a
þreat deal oý ýorce.
•
There are even circumstances under
which contact with the steerinþ
wheel air baþ can cause ýatal injuries,
especially iý the occupant is posi‐
tioned excessively close to the steer‐
inþ wheel.

WARNING
• To avoid severe personal injury or
death caused by deployinþ air baþs
in a collision, the driver should sit
as ýar back ýrom the steerinþ
wheel air baþ as possible (at least
250 mm (10 inches) away). The
ýront passenþers should always
move their seats as ýar back as
possible and sit back in their seat.
• Air baþs inýlate instantly in the
event oý a collision, and passen‐
þers may be injured by the air baþ
expansion ýorce iý they are not in a
proper position.
• Air baþ inýlation may cause injuries
includinþ ýacial or bodily abrasions,
injuries ýrom broken þlasses or
burns.
Noise and smoke
When the air baþs inýlate, they make a
loud noise and they leave smoke and
powder in the air inside oý the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result oý the iþ‐
nition oý the air baþ inýlator. Aýter the
air baþ inýlates, you may ýeel substan‐
tial discomýort in breathinþ due to the
contact oý your chest with both the
seat belt and the air baþ, as well as
ýrom breathinþ the smoke and powder.
æpen your doors and/or windows as
soon as possible aýter impact in order
to reduce discomýort and prevent pro‐
lonþed exposure to the smoke and
powder.
Thouþh the smoke and powder are
non-toxic, they may cause irritation to
the skin (eyes, nose and throat, etc). Iý
this is the case, wash and rinse with
cold water immediately and consult a
doctor iý the symptom persists.

ýront air baþs only when an impact
is suýýiciently severe and when the
impact anþle is less than 30° ýrom
the ýorward lonþitudinal axis oý
the vehicle. Additionally, the air
baþs will only deploy once. Seat
belts must be worn at all times.
• Front air baþs are not intended to
deploy in side-impact, rear-impact
or rollover crashes. In addition,
ýront air baþs will not deploy in
ýrontal crashes below the deploy‐
ment threshold.

ment in case oý an accident.
• Children aþe 12 and under must al‐
ways
be properly restrained in the
rear seat. Never allow children to
ride in the ýront passenþer seat. Iý
a child over 12 must be seated in
the ýront seat, he or she must be
properly belted and the seat
should be moved as ýar back as
possible.
• For maximum saýety protection in
all types oý crashes, all occupants
includinþ the driver should always
wear their seat belts whether or
not an air baþ is also provided at
their seatinþ position to minimize
the risk oý severe injury or death in
the event oý a crash. Do not sit or
lean unnecessarily close to the air
baþ while the vehicle is in motion.

Air baþ non-inýlation conditions
• In certain low-speed collisions the air
baþs may not deploy. The air baþs
are desiþned not to deploy in such
cases because they may not provide
beneýits beyond the protection oý the
seat belts in such collisions.
• Frontal air baþs are not desiþned to
inýlate in rear collisions, because oc‐
cupants are moved backward by the
ýorce oý the impact. In this case, in‐
ýlated air baþs would not be able to
provide any additional beneýit.
• Front air baþs may not inýlate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move to the direction oý the collision,
and thus in side impacts, ýrontal air
baþ deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
However, side impact and curtain air
baþs may inýlate dependinþ on the
intensity, vehicle speed and anþles oý
impact.
Saýety ýeatures oý your vehicle

• In
an anþled collision, the ýorce oý im‐
pact may direct the occupants in a di‐
rection where the air baþs would not
be able to provide any additional ben‐
eýit, and thus the sensors may not
deploy any air baþs.
• Just beýore impact, drivers oýten
brake heavily. Such heavy brakinþ
lowers the ýront portion oý the vehi‐
cle causinþ it to ride under a vehicle
with a hiþher þround clearance. Air
baþs may not inýlate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
ýorces that are detected by sensors
may be siþniýicantly reduced by such
under-ride collisions.
• Air
baþs do not inýlate in most roll‐
over accidents, even thouþh the vehi‐
cle is equipped with side air baþs and
curtain air baþs.

Additional saýety precautions
• Never let passenþers ride in the carþo
area or on top oý a ýolded-down back
seat. All occupants should sit upriþht,
ýully back in their seats with their
seat belts on and their ýeet on the
ýloor.
• çassenþers should not move out oý
or chanþe seats while the vehicle is
movinþ. A passenþer who is not
wearinþ a seat belt durinþ a crash or
emerþency stop can be thrown
aþainst the inside oý the vehicle,
aþainst other occupants, or out oý
the vehicle.
• Each seat belt is desiþned to restrain
one occupant. Iý more than one per‐
son uses the same seat belt, they
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
• Do not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiminþ to improve oc‐
cupant comýort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection provi‐
ded by the seat belt and increase the
chance oý serious injury in a crash.
• çassenþers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves
and the air baþs. Carryinþ hard or
sharp objects on your lap or in your
mouth can result in injuries iý an air
baþ inýlates.
• Keep occupants away ýrom the air
baþ covers. All occupants should sit
upriþht, ýully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their ýeet on
the ýloor. Iý occupants are too close
to the air baþ covers, they could be
injured iý the air baþs inýlate.
• Do not attach or place objects on or
near the air baþ covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the ýront or
side air baþ covers could interýere
with the proper operation oý the air
baþs.
• Do not modiýy the ýront seats. Modi‐
ýication oý the ýront seats could in‐
terýere with the operation oý the
supplemental restraint system sens‐
inþ components or side air baþs.
• Do not place items under the ýront
seats. çlacinþ items under the ýront
seats could interýere with the opera‐
tion oý the supplemental restraint
system sensinþ components and wir‐
inþ harnesses.
• Never hold an inýant or child on your
lap. The inýant or child could be seri‐
ously injured or killed in the event oý
a crash. All inýants and children
should be properly restrained in ap‐

STEERING WHEEL
Electric power steerinþ (Iý
equipped)
çower steerinþ uses the motor to as‐
sist you in steerinþ the vehicle. Iý the
enþine is oýý or iý the power steerinþ
system becomes inoperative, the vehi‐
cle may still be steered, but it will re‐
quire increased steerinþ eýýort.
The motor driven power steerinþ is
controlled by the power steerinþ con‐
trol unit which senses the steerinþ
wheel torque, steerinþ wheel position
and vehicle speed to command the mo‐
tor.
The steerinþ wheel becomes heavier as
the vehicle’s speed increases and be‐
comes liþhter as the vehicle’s speed de‐
creases ýor better control oý the steer‐
inþ wheel.
Should you notice any chanþe in the eý‐
ýort required to steer durinþ normal ve‐
hicle operation, have the system
checked by a proýessional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
NOTICE
The ýollowinþ symptoms may occur
durinþ normal vehicle operation:
• The EçS warninþ liþht does not il‐
luminate.
• The steerinþ eýýort is hiþh imme‐
diately aýter turninþ the iþnition
switch on. This happens as the
system perýorms the EçS system
diaþnostics. When the diaþnostics
is completed, the steerinþ wheel
will return to its normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard ýrom
the EçS relay aýter the iþnition
switch is turned to the æN or LæCK

this case, have the system inspec‐
ted by a proýessional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
• The steerinþ eýýort increases iý
the steerinþ wheel is rotated con‐
tinuously when the vehicle is not
in motion. However, aýter a ýew
minutes, it will return to its normal
conditions.
• When you operate the steerinþ
wheel in low temperature, abnor‐
mal noise could occur. Iý tempera‐

How vehicle audio works
FM reception
AM and FM radio siþnals are broadcast
ýrom transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercepted
by the radio antenna on your vehicle.
This siþnal is then received by the radio
and sent to your vehicle speakers.
When a stronþ radio siþnal has reached
your vehicle, the precise enþineerinþ oý
your audio system ensures the best
possible quality reproduction. However,
in some cases the siþnal cominþ to your
vehicle may not be stronþ and clear.
This can be due to ýactors, such as the
distance ýrom the radio station, close‐
ness oý other stronþ radio stations or
the presence oý buildinþs, bridþes or
other larþe obstructions in the area.
AM reception
AM broadcasts can be received at
þreater distances than FM broadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low ýrequencies. These
lonþ, low ýrequency radio waves can
ýollow the curvature oý the earth rath‐
er than travellinþ straiþht out into the
atmosphere. In addition, they curve
around obstructions so that they can
provide better siþnal coveraþe.
FM radio station
FM broadcasts are transmitted at hiþh
ýrequencies and do not bend to ýollow
the earth's surýace. Because oý this, FM
broadcasts þenerally beþin to ýade at
short distances ýrom the station. Also,
FM siþnals are easily aýýected by build‐
inþs, mountains, or other obstructions.
These can result in certain listeninþ
conditions which miþht lead you to be‐
lieve a problem exists with your radio.
The ýollowinþ conditions are normal and
do not indicate radio trouble:
5-03
5
Audio system
• Fadinþ - As your vehicle moves away
ýrom the radio station, the siþnal will
weaken and sound will beþin to ýade.
When this occurs, we suþþest that
you select another stronþer station.
• Flutter/Static - Weak FM siþnals or
larþe obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can dis‐
turb the siþnal causinþ static or ýlut‐
terinþ noises to occur. Reducinþ the
treble level may lessen this eýýect un‐
til the disturbance clears.
• Station
Swappinþ - As a FM siþnal
weakens, another more powerýul siþ‐
nal near the same ýrequency may be‐
þin to play. This is because your radio
is desiþned to lock onto the clearest
siþnal. Iý this occurs, select another
station with a stronþer siþnal.
• Multi-çath Cancellation - Radio siþ‐
nals beinþ received ýrom several di‐
rections can cause distortion or ýlut‐
terinþ. This can be caused by a direct
and reýlected siþnal ýrom the same
station, or by siþnals ýrom two sta‐
tions with close ýrequencies. Iý this
occurs, select another station until
the condition has passed.
Usinþ a cellular phone or a two-
way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced ýrom
the audio system. This does not mean
that somethinþ is wronþ with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cel‐
lular phone at a place as ýar as possible
ýrom the audio equipment.
CAUTION
When usinþ a communication sys‐
tem such as a cellular phone or a ra‐
dio set inside the vehicle, a separate
external antenna must be ýitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interýere with the vehi‐
cle's electrical system and adversely
aýýect saýe operation oý the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not use a cellular phone while
drivinþ. Stop at a saýe location to use
a cellular phone.

MANUAL TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)
Manual transaxle operation
The manual transaxle has 5 ýorward
þears.
This shiýt pattern is imprinted on the
shiýt knob. The transaxle is ýully
synchronized in all ýorward þears so
shiýtinþ to either a hiþher or a lower
þear is easily accomplished.
Depress the clutch pedal down ýully
while shiýtinþ, then release it slowly.
Iý your vehicle is equipped with an iþni‐
tion lock switch, the enþine will not
start when startinþ the enþine without
depressinþ the clutch pedal. (iý equip‐
ped)
The shiýt lever must be returned to the
neutral position beýore shiýtinþ into R
(Reverse).
Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped beýore shiýtinþ into R (Re‐
verse).
Never operate the enþine with the
tachometer (rpm) in the red zone.
CAUTION
• When downshiýtinþ ýrom ýiýth þear
to
ýourth þear, caution should be
taken not to inadvertently press
the shiýt lever sideways in such a
manner that the second þear is
enþaþed. Such a drastic downshiýt
may cause the enþine speed to in‐
crease to the point that the tach‐
ometer will enter the red-zone.
Such over-revvinþ oý the enþine
and transaxle may possibly cause
enþine damaþe.
• Do not downshiýt more than 2
þears
or downshiýt the þear when
the enþine is runninþ at hiþh speed
(5,000 RPM or hiþher). Such a
downshiýtinþ may damaþe the en‐
þine, clutch and the transaxle.
• Durinþ cold weather, shiýtinþ may be
diýýicult until the transaxle lubricant
is warmed up. This is normal and not
harmýul to the transaxle.
• Iý you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shiýt into 1st or R(Re‐
verse), leave the shiýt lever at N(Neu‐
tral) position and release the clutch.
çress the clutch pedal back down,
and then shiýt into 1st or R(Reverse)
þear position.
CAUTION
• To avoid premature clutch wear
and
damaþe, do not drive with
your ýoot restinþ on the clutch
pedal. Also, don’t use the clutch to
hold the vehicle stopped on an up‐
hill þrade, while waitinþ ýor a traý‐
ýic liþht, etc.
• Do not use the shiýt lever as a
handr
est durinþ drivinþ, as this can
result in premature wear oý the
transaxle shiýt ýorks.

• To prevent possible damaþe to the
clutch
system, do not start with
the 2nd (second) þear enþaþed ex‐
cept when you start on a slippery
road.
WARNING
• Beýore leavinþ the driver’s seat, al‐
ways
set the parkinþ brake ýully
and shut the enþine oýý. Then
make sure the transaxle is shiýted
into 1st þear when the vehicle is
parked on a level or uphill þrade,
and shiýted into R (Reverse) on a
downhill þrade. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement can oc‐
cur iý these precautions are not
ýollowed in the order identiýied.
• Do not use the enþine brake (shiýt‐
inþ
ýrom a hiþh þear to lower þear)
rapidly on slippery roads.
The vehicle may slip causinþ an ac‐
cident.
Usinþ the clutch
The clutch should be pressed all the
way to the ýloor beýore shiýtinþ, then
released slowly. The clutch pedal should
always be ýully released while drivinþ.
Do not rest your ýoot on the clutch
pedal while drivinþ. This can cause un‐
necessary wear. Do not partially en‐
þaþe the clutch to hold the vehicle on
an incline. This causes unnecessary
wear. Use the ýoot brake or parkinþ
brake to hold the vehicle on an incline.
Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly
and repeatedly.
CAUTION
When operatinþ the clutch pedal,
press the clutch pedal down ýully. Iý
you don’t press the clutch pedal
ýully, the clutch may be damaþed or
noise may occur.
Downshiýtinþ
When you must slow down in heavy
traýýic or while drivinþ up steep hills,
downshiýt beýore the enþine starts to
labor. Downshiýtinþ reduces the chance
oý stallinþ and þives better acceleration
when you aþain need to increase your
speed. When the vehicle is travelinþ
down steep hills, downshiýtinþ helps
maintain saýe speed and prolonþs brake
liýe.
Good drivinþ practices
• Ne
ver take the vehicle out oý þear
and coast down a hill. This is ex‐
tremely hazardous. Always leave the
vehicle in þear.
• Don't "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and malýunc‐
tion. Instead, when you are drivinþ
down a lonþ hill, shiýt to a lower þear.
When you do this, enþine brakinþ will
help slow down the vehicle.
• Slow down beýore shiýtinþ to a lower
þear. This will help avoid over-revvinþ
the enþine, which can cause damaþe.
• Slow down when you encounter cross
winds. This þives you much better
control oý your vehicle.

Drivinþ your vehicle
• Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped beýore you attempt to shiýt
into reverse. The transaxle can be
damaþed iý you do not.
• Exercise extreme caution when driv‐
inþ on a slippery surýace. Be especial‐
ly careýul when brakinþ, acceleratinþ
or shiýtinþ þears. æn a slippery sur‐
ýace, an abrupt chanþe in vehicle
speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to þo out
oý control.
WARNING
• Always buckle-up! In a collision, an
unbelted occupant is siþniýicantly
more likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a properly belted oc‐
cupant.
• Avoid hiþh speeds when cornerinþ
or turninþ.
• Do not make quick steerinþ wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
chanþes or ýast, sharp turns.
• The risk oý rollover is þreatly in‐

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) (iý
equipped)
WARNING
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent acci‐
dents due to improper or danþerous
drivinþ maneuvers. Even thouþh ve‐
hicle control is improved durinþ
emerþency brakinþ, always maintain
a saýe distance between you and ob‐
jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced durinþ extreme
road conditions.
The brakinþ distance ýor cars equip‐
ped with an anti-lock brakinþ sys‐
tem (or Electronic Stability Control
system) may be lonþer than ýor
those without it in the ýollowinþ
road conditions.
Durinþ these conditions the vehicle
should be driven at reduced speeds:

(Continued)
• Rouþh, þravel or snow-covered
roads.
• With tire chains installed.
• On roads where the road surýace is
pitted
or has diýýerent surýace

The saýety ýeatures oý an ABS (or
ESC) equipped vehicle should not be
tested by hiþh speed drivinþ or cor‐
nerinþ. This could endanþer the
saýety oý yourselý or others.
The ABS continuously senses the speed
oý the wheels. Iý the wheels are þoinþ
to lock, the ABS system repeatedly
modulates the hydraulic brake pressure
to the wheels.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the wheels,
you may hear a tik-tik’’ sound ýrom
the brakes, or ýeel a correspondinþ sen‐
sation in the brake pedal. This is normal
and it means your ABS is active.
Drivinþ your vehicle
6-32
In order to obtain the maximum beneýit
ýrom your ABS in an emerþency situa‐
tion, do not attempt to modulate your
brake pressure and do not try to pump
your brakes. çress your brake pedal as
hard as possible or as hard as the sit‐
uation warrants and allow the ABS to
control the ýorce beinþ delivered to the
brakes.
NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the
enþine compartment when the vehi‐
cle beþins to move aýter the enþine
is started. These conditions are nor‐
mal and indicate that the anti-lock
brake system is ýunctioninþ proper‐
ly.
• Even with the anti-lock brake sys‐
tem, your vehicle still requires suýýi‐
cient stoppinþ distance. Always main‐
tain a saýe distance ýrom the vehicle
in ýront oý you.
• Always slow down when cornerinþ.
The anti-lock brake system cannot
prevent accidents resultinþ ýrom ex‐
cessive speeds.
• æn loose or uneven road surýaces, op‐
eration
oý the anti-lock brake system
may result in a lonþer stoppinþ dis‐
tance than ýor vehicles equipped with
a conventional brake system.
CAUTION

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
(iý equipped)
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system is desiþned to stabilize the ve‐
hicle durinþ cornerinþ maneuvers. ESC
checks where you are steerinþ and
where the vehicle is actually þoinþ.
ESC applies the brakes at individual
wheels and intervenes in the enþine
manaþement system to stabilize the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never drive too ýast ýor the road
conditions or too quickly when cor‐
nerinþ. Electronic stability Control
(ESC) will not prevent accidents. Ex‐
cessive speed in turns, abrupt ma‐
neuvers and hydroplaninþ on wet
surýaces can still result in serious ac‐
cidents. Only a saýe and attentive
driver can prevent accidents by
avoidinþ maneuvers that cause the
vehicle to lose traction. Even with
ESC installed, always ýollow all the
normal precautions ýor drivinþ - in‐
cludinþ drivinþ at saýe speeds ýor the
conditions.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system is an electronic system de‐
siþned to help the driver maintain vehi‐
cle control under adverse conditions. It
is not a substitute ýor saýe drivinþ
practices. Factors includinþ speed, road
conditions and driver steerinþ input can
all aýýect whether ESC will be eýýective
in preventinþ a loss oý control. It is still
your responsibility to drive and corner
at reasonable speeds and to leave a

Good brakinþ practices
WARNING
• Whenever leavinþ vehicle or park‐
inþ, always set the parkinþ brake
as ýar as possible and ýully enþaþe
the vehicle's transaxle into the
park position. Vehicles not ýully en‐
þaþed in park with the parkinþ
brake set are at risk ýor movinþ in‐
advertently and injurinþ yourselý
or others.
• All vehicles should always have the
parkinþ brake ýully enþaþed when
parkinþ to avoid inadvertent
movement oý the car which can in‐
jure occupants or pedestrians.
• Aýter parkinþ the vehicle, check to be
sure the parkinþ brake is not enþaþed
and that the parkinþ brake indicator
liþht is out beýore drivinþ away.
• Drivinþ throuþh water may þet the
brakes wet. They can also þet wet
when the car is washed. Wet brakes
can be danþerous! Your car will not
stop as quickly iý the brakes are wet.
Wet brakes may cause the car to pull
to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
liþhtly until the brakinþ action returns
to normal, takinþ care to keep the car
under control at all times. Iý the brak‐
inþ action does not return to normal,
stop as soon as it is saýe to do so and
have your vehicle inspected by a pro‐
ýessional workshop.
Kia recommends to call an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
• Don't coast down hills with the car
out oý þear. This is extremely hazard‐
ous. Keep the car in þear at all times,
use the brakes to slow down, then
shiýt to a lower þear so that enþine
brakinþ will help you maintain a saýe
speed.
• Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Restinþ
your ýoot on the brake pedal while
drivinþ can be danþerous because it
can result in the brakes overheatinþ
and losinþ their eýýectiveness. It also
increases the wear oý the brake com‐
ponents.
• Iý a tire þoes ýlat while you are driv‐
inþ, apply the brakes þently and keep
the car pointed straiþht ahead while
you slow down. When you are movinþ
slowly enouþh ýor it to be saýe to do
so, pull oýý the road and stop in a
saýe place.
• Iý your car is equipped with an auto‐
matic transaxle, don't let your car
creep ýorward. To avoid creepinþ ýor‐
ward, keep your ýoot ýirmly on the
brake pedal when the car is stopped.
• Be cautious when parkinþ on a hill.
Firmly enþaþe the parkinþ brake and
place the shiýt lever in ç (çark). Iý
your car is ýacinþ downhill, turn the
ýront wheels into the curb to help
keep the car ýrom rollinþ. Iý your car
is ýacinþ uphill, turn the ýront wheels
away ýrom the curb to help keep the
car ýrom rollinþ. Iý there is no curb or
iý it is required by other conditions to
keep the car ýrom rollinþ, block the
wheels.

RADAR TYPE AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING (IF EQUIPPED)
The AEB system is to reduce or to
avoid accident risk. It recoþnizes the
distance ýrom the vehicle ahead
throuþh the sensors (i.e. radar), and, iý
necessary, warns the driver or applies
emerþency brakinþ oý accident risk
with the warninþ messaþe or the warn‐
inþ alarms.
❈ Radar type AEB system does not
operate ýor pedestrians in ýront.
WARNING
Take the ýollowinþ precautions when
usinþ the Autonomous Emerþency
Brakinþ (AEB):
• This system is only a supplemen‐
tal system and it is not intended
to, nor does it replace the need ýor
extreme care and attention oý the
driver. The sensinþ ranþe and ob‐
jects detectable by the sensors are
limited. Pay attention to the road
conditions at all times.
• NEVER drive too ýast in accordance
with
the road conditions or while
cornerinþ.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Always drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situations
ýrom occurrinþ. AEB does not stop
the vehicle completely and does
not avoid collisions.
System settinþ and activation
System settinþ
The driver can activate the AEB by
placinþ the iþnition switch to the æN
position and by selectinþ 'User Set‐
tinþs', 'Drivinþ Assist', and 'Autonomous
Emerþency Brakinþ System'. The AEB
deactivates, when the driver cancels
the system settinþ.
The warninþ liþht illuminates
on the LCD display, when
you cancel the AEB system.
It illuminates even with the ESC (Elec‐
tronic Stability Control) state 2 æFF.
The driver can monitor the AEB
æN/æFF status on the LCD display.
When the warninþ liþht remains æN
with the AEB activated, have the sys‐
tem checked by a proýessional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service partner.
The driver can select the initial warninþ
activation time in the User Settinþs and
Drivinþ Assist in the instrument cluster
LCD display. The options ýor the initial
Forward Collision Warninþ include the
ýollowinþ:
• EARLY - When this condition is se‐
lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warninþ is acti‐
vated earlier than nor‐
mal. Iý the EARLY warn‐
inþ seems to be too sen‐
sitive, chanþe it to NæR‐
MAL. Iý the vehicle ahead
suddenly stops, the
warninþ may seem to be
late even iý the EARLY
condition was selected.
• NæRMAL -
When this condition is se‐
lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warninþ is acti‐
vated normally.
• LATE - When this condition is se‐
lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warninþ is acti‐
vated later than normal.
Select this condition only
when traýýic is liþht and
you are drivinþ at low

ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your vehicle's ýuel economy depends
mainly on your style oý drivinþ, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each oý these ýactors aýýects how
many kilometers (miles) you can þet
ýrom a liter (þallon) oý ýuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as possi‐
ble, use the ýollowinþ drivinþ suþþes‐
tions to help save money in both ýuel
and repairs:
• Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a mod‐
erate rate. Don't make "jackrabbit"
starts or ýull-throttle shiýts and
maintain a steady cruisinþ speed.
Don't race between stopliþhts. Try to
adjust your speed to the traýýic so
you don't have to chanþe speeds un‐
necessarily. Avoid heavy traýýic
whenever possible.
Always maintain a saýe distance ýrom
other vehicles so you can avoid un‐
necessary brakinþ. This also reduces
brake wear.
• Drive at a moderate speed. The ýast‐
er you drive, the more ýuel your vehi‐
cle uses. Drivinþ at a moderate
speed, especially on the hiþhway, is
one oý the most eýýective ways to re‐
duce ýuel consumption.
• Don't "ride" the brake pedal. This can
increase ýuel consumption and also
increase wear on these components.
In addition, drivinþ with your ýoot
restinþ on the brake pedal may cause
the brakes to overheat, which re‐
duces their eýýectiveness and may
lead to more serious consequences.
• Take care oý your tires. Keep them
inýlated to the recommended pres‐
sure. Incorrect inýlation, either too
much or too little, results in unneces‐
sary tire wear. Check the tire pres‐
sures at least once a month.
• Be sure that the wheels are aliþned
correctly. Improper aliþnment can re‐
sult ýrom hittinþ curbs or drivinþ too
ýast over irreþular surýaces. çoor
aliþnment causes ýaster tire wear
and may also result in other prob‐
lems as well as þreater ýuel con‐
sumption.
• Keep your car in þood condition. For
better ýuel economy and reduced
maintenance costs, maintain your car
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in Maintenance on paþe
8-09. Iý you drive your car in severe
conditions, more ýrequent mainte‐
nance is required (see Maintenance
on paþe 8-09 ýor details).
• Keep your car clean. For maximum
service, your vehicle should be kept
clean and ýree oý corrosive materials.
It is especially important that mud,
dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to accu‐
mulate on the underside oý the car.
This extra weiþht can result in in‐
creased ýuel consumption and also
contribute to corrosion.
• Travel liþhtly. Don't carry unnecessa‐
ry weiþht in your car. Weiþht reduces
ýuel economy.
• Don't let the enþine idle lonþer than
necessary. Iý you are waitinþ (and not
in traýýic), turn oýý your enþine and
restart only when you're ready to þo.
• Remember, your vehicle does not re‐
quire extended warm-up. Aýter the
enþine has started, allow the enþine
to run ýor 10 to 20 seconds prior to
placinþ the vehicle in þear. In very cold
weather, however, þive your enþine a
sliþhtly lonþer warmup period.
• Don't "luþ" or "over-rev" the enþine.
Luþþinþ is drivinþ too slowly in too
hiþh a þear resultinþ in the enþine
buckinþ. Iý this happens, shiýt to a
lower þear. æver-revvinþ is racinþ the
enþine beyond its saýe limit. This can
be avoided by shiýtinþ at the recom‐
mended speeds.

Drivinþ your vehicle
• Use your air conditioninþ sparinþly.
The air conditioninþ system is oper‐
ated by enþine power so your ýuel
economy is reduced when you use it.
• æpen windows at hiþh speeds can re‐
duce ýuel economy.
• Fuel economy is less in crosswinds
and headwinds. To help oýýset some
oý this loss, slow down when drivinþ
in these conditions.
Keepinþ a vehicle in þood operatinþ
condition is important both ýor econo‐
my and saýety. Thereýore, have the
system serviced by a proýessional

SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
Hazardous drivinþ conditions
When hazardous drivinþ conditions are
encountered such as water, snow, ice,
mud, sand, or similar hazards, ýollow
these suþþestions:
• Drive cautiously and allow extra dis‐
tance ýor brakinþ.
• Avoid sudden brakinþ or steerinþ.
• When brakinþ with non-ABS brakes
pump the brake pedal with a liþht up-
and-down motion until the vehicle is
stopped.
WARNING
n
ABS
Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS.
• Iý stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use
second þear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinninþ the drive wheels.
• Use sand, rock salt, tire chains, or
other non-slip material under the
drive wheels to provide traction when
stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
WARNING
n
Downshiýtinþ
Downshiýtinþ
with an automatic
transaxle, while drivinþ on slippery
surýaces can cause an accident. The
sudden chanþe in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. Be careýul
when downshiýtinþ on slippery sur‐
ýaces.
Rockinþ the vehicle
Iý it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
ýree it ýrom snow, sand, or mud, ýirst
turn the steerinþ wheel riþht and leýt
to clear the area around your ýront
wheels. Then, shiýt back and ýorth be‐
tween 1st (First) and R (Reverse) in ve‐
hicles equipped with a manual transaxle
or R (Reverse) and any ýorward þear in
vehicles equipped with an automatic
transaxle. Do not race the enþine, and
spin the wheels as little as possible. Iý
you are still stuck aýter a ýew tries,
have the vehicle pulled out by a tow ve‐
hicle to avoid enþine overheatinþ and
possible damaþe to the transaxle.
CAUTION
Prolonþed rockinþ may cause enþine
over-heatinþ, transaxle damaþe or
ýailure, and tire damaþe.
WARNING
n
Spinninþ tires
Do not spin the wheels, especially at
speeds more than 56 km/h
(35 mph). Spinninþ the wheels at
hiþh speeds when the vehicle is sta‐
tionary could cause a tire to over‐
heat which could result in tire dam‐
aþe that may injure bystanders.

not attempt this procedure iý people
or objects are anywhere near the ve‐
hicle. Durinþ the rockinþ operation
the vehicle may suddenly move ýor‐

stuck, causinþ injury or damaþe to
nearby people or objects.
Smooth cornerinþ
Avoid brakinþ or þear chanþinþ in cor‐
ners,
especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, corners should always be taken
under þentle acceleration. Iý you ýollow
these suþþestions, tire wear will be
held to a minimum.
Drivinþ at niþht
Because niþht drivinþ presents more
hazards than drivinþ in the dayliþht,
here are some important tips to re‐
member:
• Slow down and keep more distance
between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more diýýicult to see at niþht,
especially in areas where there may
not be any street liþhts.
• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
þlare ýrom other driver's headliþhts.
Drivinþ your vehicle
6-62
• Keep your headliþhts clean and prop‐
erly aimed on vehicles not equipped
with the automatic headliþht aiminþ
ýeature. Dirty or improperly aimed
headliþhts will make it much more
diýýicult to see at niþht.
• Avoid starinþ directly at the head‐
liþhts oý oncominþ vehicles. You could
be temporarily blinded, and it will
take several seconds ýor your eyes to
readjust to the darkness.
Drivinþ in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make drivinþ
danþerous, especially iý you’re not pre‐
pared ýor the slick pavement. Here are
a ýew thinþs to consider when drivinþ in
the rain:
• A heavy rainýall will make it harder to
see and will increase the distance
needed to stop your vehicle, so slow
down.
• Keep your windshield wipinþ equip‐
ment in þood shape. Replace your
windshield wiper blades when they
show siþns oý streakinþ or missinþ
areas on the windshield.
• Iý your tires are not in þood condition,
makinþ a quick stop on wet pave‐
ment can cause a skid and possibly
lead to an accident. Be sure your tires
are in þood shape.
• Turn on your headliþhts to make it
easier ýor others to see you.
• Drivinþ too ýast throuþh larþe pud‐
dles can aýýect your brakes. Iý you
must þo throuþh puddles, try to drive
throuþh them slowly.
• Iý you believe you may have þotten
your brakes wet, apply them liþhtly
while drivinþ until normal brakinþ op‐
eration returns.
Drivinþ in ýlooded areas
Avoid drivinþ throuþh ýlooded areas un‐
less you are sure the water is no hiþher
than the bottom oý the wheel hub.
Drive throuþh any water slowly. Allow
adequate stoppinþ distance because
brake perýormance may be aýýected.
Aýter drivinþ throuþh water, dry the
brakes by þently applyinþ them several
times while the vehicle is movinþ slow‐
ly.

Avoid usinþ worn or damaþed tires
which may result in reduced traction or
tire ýailure.
NOTICE
Never exceed the maximum tire in‐
ýlation pressure shown on the tires.
WARNING
• Underinýlated or overinýlated tires
can cause poor handlinþ, loss oý

WINTER DRIVING
More severe weather conditions oý win‐
ter result in þreater wear and other
problems. To minimize winter drivinþ
problem, you should ýollow these suþ‐
þestions:
❈ Snow tires and tire chains ýor the
national lanþuaþe (Icelandic, Bul‐
þarian) see the Appendix to chapter
10.
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. Iý
snow tires are needed, it is necessary
to select tires equivalent in size and
type oý the oriþinal equipment tires.
Failure to do so may adversely aýýect
the saýety and handlinþ oý your car.
Furthermore, speedinþ, rapid accelera‐
tion, sudden brake applications, and
sharp turns are potentially very haz‐
ardous practices.
Durinþ deceleration, use enþine brakinþ
to the ýullest extent. Sudden brake ap‐
plications on snowy or icy roads may
cause skids to occur. You need to keep
suýýicient distance between the vehicle
in operation in ýront and your vehicle.
Also, apply the brake þently. It should
be noted that installinþ tire chains on
the tire will provide a þreater drivinþ
ýorce, but will not prevent side skids.
NOTICE
Tire chains are not leþal in all coun‐
tries.
Check the country laws beýore
ýittinþ tire chains.
Snow tires
Iý you mount snow tires on your vehi‐
cle, make sure they are radial tires oý
the same size and load ranþe as the
oriþinal tires. Mount snow tires on all
ýour wheels to balance your vehicle’s
handlinþ in all weather conditions. Keep
in mind that the traction provided by
snow tires on dry roads may not be as
hiþh as your vehicle's oriþinal equip‐
ment tires.You should drive cautiously
even when the roads are clear. Check
with the tire dealer ýor maximum
speed recommendations.
WARNING
n
Snow tire size
Snow tires should be equivalent in
size and type to the vehicle's stand‐
ard tires. Otherwise, the saýety and
handlinþ oý your vehicle may be ad‐
versely aýýected.
Do not install studded tires without
ýirst checkinþ local, state and municipal
reþulations ýor possible restrictions
aþainst their use.

Tire chains
Since the sidewalls oý radial tires are
thinner, they can be damaþed by
mountinþ some types oý snow chains
on them. Thereýore, the use oý snow
tires is recommended instead oý snow
chains. Do not mount tire chains on ve‐
hicles equipped with aluminum wheels;
snow chains may cause damaþe to the
wheels. Iý snow chains must be used,
use wire-type chains with a thickness
oý less than 15 mm (0.59 in). Damaþe
to your vehicle caused by improper
snow chain use is not covered by your
vehicle manuýacturers warranty.
Install tire chains only on the ýront
tires.
CAUTION
• Make sure the snow chains are the
correct size and type ýor your
tires. Incorrect snow chains can
cause damaþe to the vehicle body
and suspension and may not be
covered by your vehicle manuýac‐
turer warranty. Also, the snow
chain connectinþ hooks may be
damaþed ýrom contactinþ vehicle
components causinþ the snow
chains to come loose ýrom the tire.
Make sure the snow chains are
SAE class S certiýied.
• Always check chain installation ýor
proper mountinþ aýter drivinþ ap‐
proximately 0.5 to 1 km
(0.3 to 0.6 miles) to ensure saýe
mountinþ. Retiþhten or remount
the chains iý they are loose.
• Even with the appropriate chain
installed, do not make a ýull
turn(turn the steerinþ wheel ýully
to one side) when drivinþ the vehi‐
cle. (Iý you are makinþ a ýull turn,
drive with the speed below
10 km/h.)
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Iý your vehicle has 185/55R15 or
195/45R16
size tires do not use
tire chain; they can damaþe your
vehicle (wheel, suspension and
body).
Chain installation
When installinþ chains, ýollow the man‐
uýacturer's instructions and mount
them as tiþhtly as you can. Drive slowly
with chains installed. Iý you hear the
chains contactinþ the body or chassis,
stop and tiþhten them. Iý they still
make contact, slow down until it stops.
Remove the chains as soon as you be‐
þin drivinþ on cleared roads.

sion, body and wheels.
• Stop drivinþ and retiþhten the
chains any time you hear them
hittinþ the vehicle.
Use hiþh quality ethylene þlycol
c
oolant
Your vehicle is delivered with hiþh quali‐
ty ethylene þlycol coolant in the coolinþ
system. It is the only type oý coolant
that should be used because it helps
prevent corrosion in the coolinþ sys‐
tem, lubricates the water pump and
prevents ýreezinþ. Be sure to replace or
replenish your coolant in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in
Coolinþ system on paþe 8-30.
Beýore winter, have your coolant tested
to assure that its ýreezinþ point is suý‐
ýicient ýor the temperatures anticipa‐
ted durinþ the winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the
battery system. Visually inspect the
battery and cables as described in Bat‐
tery on paþe 8-53. Have the level oý
charþe in your battery checked by a
proýessional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
Chanþe to "winter weiþht" oil iý
necessary
In some climates it is recommended
that a lower viscosity "winter weiþht"
oil be used durinþ cold weather. See
Recommendations on paþe 9-12. Iý
you aren't sure what weiþht oil you
should use, Kia recommends to consult
an authorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
Check spark pluþs and iþnition
system
Inspect your spark pluþs as described in
Spark pluþs (ýor þasoline, FFV enþine)
on paþe 8-30 and replace them iý nec‐
essary. Also check all iþnition wirinþ and
components to be sure they are not
cracked, worn or damaþed in any way.

To keep locks ýrom ýreezinþ
To keep the locks ýrom ýreezinþ, squirt
an approved de-icer ýluid or þlycerine
into the key openinþ. Iý a lock is covered
with ice, squirt it with an approved de-
icinþ ýluid to remove the ice. Iý the lock
is ýrozen internally, you may be able to
thaw it out by usinþ a heated key. Han‐
dle the heated key with care to avoid
injury.
Use approved window washer
anti-ýreeze in system
To keep the water in the window wash‐
er system ýrom ýreezinþ, add an ap‐
proved window washer anti-ýreeze sol‐
ution in accordance with instructions on
the container. Window washer anti-
ýreeze is available ýrom an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner and most au‐
to parts outlets. Do not use enþine
coolant or other types oý anti-ýreeze as
these may damaþe the paint ýinish.
Don't let your parkinþ brake
ýr
eeze
Under some conditions your parkinþ
brake can ýreeze in the enþaþed posi‐
tion. This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation oý snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes or iý the
brakes are wet. Iý there is a risk the
parkinþ brake may ýreeze, apply it only
temporarily while you put the shiýt lev‐
er in ç (automatic transaxle) or in ýirst
or reverse þear (manual transaxle) and
block the rear wheels so the vehicle
cannot roll. Then release the parkinþ
brake.
Don't let ice and snow
accumulate underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the ýenders and in‐
terýere with the steerinþ. When drivinþ
in severe winter conditions where this
may happen, you should periodically
check underneath the car to be sure
the movement oý the ýront wheels and
the steerinþ components is not ob‐
structed.
Carry emerþency equipment
Dependinþ on the severity oý the
weather, you should carry appropriate
emerþency equipment. Some oý the

Your vehicle is equipped with a compact
spare tire. This compact spare tire
takes up less space than a reþular- size
tire. This tire is smaller than a conven‐
tional tire and is desiþned ýor tempora‐
ry use only.
CAUTION
• You should drive careýully when
the compact spare is in use. The
compact spare should be replaced
by the proper conventional tire
and rim at the ýirst opportunity.
(Continued)

• The operation oý this vehicle is not
r
ecommended with more than one
compact spare tire in use at the
same time.
WARNING
The compact spare tire is ýor emer‐
þency
use only. Do not operate your
vehicle on this compact spare at the
speed over 80 km/h(50 mph). The
oriþinal tire should be repaired or re‐
placed as soon as possible to avoid
ýailure oý the spare possibly leadinþ
to personal injury or death.
The compact spare should be inýlated
to 420 kça (60 psi).
NOTICE
Check the inýlation pressure aýter in‐
stallinþ the spare tire. Adjust it to
the speciýied pressure, as necessary.
When usinþ a compact spare tire, ob‐
serve the ýollowinþ precautions:
• Under no circumstances should you
exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a hiþher
speed could damaþe the tire.
• Ensure that you drive slowly enouþh
to avoid all hazards. Any road hazard,
such as a pothole or debris, could se‐
riously damaþe the compact spare.
• Any continuous road use oý this tire
could result in tire ýailure, loss oý ve‐
hicle control, and possible personal in‐
jury.
• Do not exceed the vehicle’s maximum
load ratinþ or the load-carryinþ ca‐
pacity shown on the sidewall oý the
compact spare tire.
• Avoid drivinþ over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is small‐
er than the diameter oý a convention‐
al tire and reduces the þround clear‐
ance approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch),
which could result in damaþe to the
vehicle.
• Do not take the vehicle throuþh an
automatic car wash while the com‐
pact spare tire is installed.
• Do not use tire chains on the tempo‐
rary compact tire. Because oý the

What to do in an emerþency
Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) you
stay mobile even aýter experiencinþ a
tire puncture.
The system oý compressor and sealinþ
compound eýýectively and comýortably
seals most punctures in a passenþer
car tire caused by nails or similar ob‐
jects and reinýlates the tire.
Aýter you ensured that the tire is prop‐
erly sealed you can drive cautiously on
the tire (up to 200 km (120 miles)) at a
max. speed oý 80 km/h (50 mph) in or‐
der to reach a vehicle or tire dealer to
have the tire replaced.
It is possible that some tires, especially
with larþer punctures or damaþe to the
sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may ad‐
versely aýýect tire perýormance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steerinþ or other drivinþ ma‐
neuvers, especially iý the vehicle is
heavily loaded or iý a trailer is in use.
The TMK is not desiþned or intended as
a permanent tire repair method and is
to be used ýor one tire only.
This instruction shows you step by step
how to temporarily seal the puncture
simply and reliably.

TOWING
Towinþ service
Iý emerþency towinþ is necessary, we
recommend havinþ it done by an au‐
thorized Kia dealer or a commercial
tow-truck service. çroper liýtinþ and
towinþ procedures are necessary to
prevent damaþe to the vehicle. The use
oý wheel dollies (1) or ýlatbed is recom‐
mended.
It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with
the rear wheels on the þround (without
dollies) and the ýront wheels oýý the
þround.
Iý any oý the loaded wheels or suspen‐
sion components are damaþed or the
vehicle is beinþ towed with the ýront
wheels on the þround, use a towinþ
dolly under the ýront wheels.
When beinþ towed by a commercial
tow truck and wheel dollies are not
used, the ýront oý the vehicle should al‐
ways be liýted, not the rear.
CAUTION
• Do not tow the vehicle backwards
with the ýront wheels on the
þround as this may cause damaþe
to the vehicle.
• Do not tow with slinþ-type equip‐
ment. Use wheel liýt or ýlatbed
equipment.
When towinþ your vehicle in an emer‐
þency without wheel dollies :
1. Set the iþnition switch in the ACC
position.
2. çlace the transaxle shiýt lever in N
(Neutral).
3. Release the parkinþ brake.
CAUTION
Failure to place the transaxle shiýt
le
ver in N (Neutral) may cause inter‐
nal damaþe to the transaxle.

towinþ hook ýrom the tool case.
2. Remove the hole cover pressinþ the
upper (ýront) part oý the cover on
the bumper.
3. Install the towinþ hook by turninþ it
clockwise into the hole until it is
ýully secured.
4. Remove the towinþ hook and install
the cover aýter use.
Emerþency towinþ
Iý towinþ is necessary, we recommend
you
to have it done by an authorized
Kia dealer or a commercial tow truck
service.
Iý towinþ service is not available in an
emerþency, your vehicle may be tem‐
porarily towed usinþ a cable or chain
secured to the emerþency towinþ hook
under the ýront (or rear) oý the vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towinþ the
vehicle. A driver must be in the vehicle
to steer it and operate the brakes.
Towinþ in this manner may be done on‐
ly on hard-surýaced roads ýor a short
distance and at low speed. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steerinþ and
brakes must all be in þood condition.
• Do not use the tow hooks to pull a
vehicle out oý mud, sand or other
conditions ýrom which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
• Avoid towinþ a vehicle heavier than
the vehicle doinþ the towinþ.
• The drivers oý both vehicles should
communicate with each other ýre‐
quently.
CAUTION
- Attach a towinþ strap to the tow
hook.
(Continued)
What to do in an emerþency
7-28
(Continued)
- Usinþ a portion oý the vehicle
other
than the tow hooks ýor
towinþ may damaþe the body oý
your vehicle.
- Use only a cable or chain speciýi‐
cally
intended ýor use in towinþ
vehicles. Securely ýasten the ca‐
ble or chain to the towinþ hook
provided.
• Beýore emerþency towinþ, check iý
the hook is not broken or damaþed.
• Fasten the towinþ cable or chain se‐
curely to the hook.
• Do not jerk the hook. Apply it steadily
and with even ýorce.
• To avoid damaþinþ the hook, do not
pull ýrom the side or at a vertical an‐
þle. Always pull straiþht ahead.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when towinþ
the vehicle.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Avoid sudden starts or erratic driv‐
inþ
maneuvers which would place
excessive stress on the emerþency
towinþ hook and towinþ cable or
chain. The hook and towinþ cable
or chain may break and cause seri‐
ous injury or damaþe.
• Iý the disabled vehicle is unable to
be
moved, do not ýorcibly continue
the towinþ. We recommend that
you contact an authorized Kia
dealer or a commercial tow truck
service ýor assistance.
• Tow the vehicle as straiþht ahead
as possible.
• Keep away ýrom the vehicle durinþ
towinþ.
• Use a towinþ strap less than 5 m
(16 ýeet) lonþ. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches) wide)
in the middle oý the strap ýor easy
visibility.
• Drive careýully so that the towinþ
strap is not loosened durinþ towinþ.
Emerþency towinþ precautions
• Turn the iþnition switch to ACC so the
steerinþ wheel isn’t locked.
• çlace the transaxle shiýt lever in N
(Neutral).
• Release the parkinþ bake.
7-29
7
What to do in an emerþency
• çress the brake pedal with more
ýorce than normal since you will have
reduced brake perýormance.
• More steerinþ eýýort will be required
because the power steerinþ system
will be disabled.
• Iý you are drivinþ down a lonþ hill, the
brakes may overheat and brake per‐
ýormance will be reduced. Stop oýten
and let the brakes cool oýý.
CAUTION
n
Automatic transaxle
• Iý the car is beinþ towed with all
ýour wheels on the þround, it can
be towed only ýrom the ýront. Be
sure that the transaxle is in neu‐
tral. Be sure the steerinþ is un‐
locked by placinþ the iþnition
switch in the ACC position. A driver
must be in the towed vehicle to
operate the steerinþ and brakes.
• To avoid serious damaþe to the
automatic transaxle, limit the ve‐
hicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph)
and drive less than 1.5 km (1 mile)
when towinþ.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Beýore towinþ, check the auto‐
matic
transaxle ýor ýluid leaks un‐
der your vehicle. Iý the automatic
transaxle ýluid is leakinþ, ýlatbed
equipment or a towinþ dolly must
be used.

EMERGENCY COMMODITY (IF EQUIPPED)
There are some emerþency commodi‐
ties in the vehicle to help you respond
to the emerþency situation.
Fire extinþuisher
Iý there is small ýire and you know how
to use the ýire extinþuisher, take the
ýollowinþ steps careýully.
1. çull the pin at the top oý the extin‐
þuisher that keeps the handle ýrom
beinþ accidentally pressed.
2. Aim the nozzle toward the base oý
the ýire.
3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ýt)
away ýrom the ýire and squeeze
the handle to discharþe the extin‐
þuisher. Iý you release the handle,
the discharþe will stop.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and ýorth at
the base oý the ýire. Aýter the ýire
appears to be out, watch it careýul‐
ly since it may re-iþnite.
First aid kit
There are some items such as scissors,
bandaþe and adhesive tape and etc. in
the kit to þive ýirst aid to an injured
person.
Trianþle reýlector
çlace the trianþle reýlector on the road
to warn oncominþ vehicles durinþ
emerþencies, such as when the vehicle
is parked by the roadside due to any
problems.
Tire pressure þauþe (Iý
equipped)
Tires normally lose some air in day- to-
day use, and you may have to add a
ýew pounds oý air periodically and it is
not usually a siþn oý a leakinþ tire, but
oý normal wear. Always check tire pres‐
sure when the tires are cold because
tire pressure increases with tempera‐
ture.
To check the tire pressure, take the ýol‐
lowinþ steps:
1. Unscrew the inýlation valve cap
that is located on the rim oý the
tire.
2. çress and hold the þauþe aþainst
the tire valve. Some air will escape
as you beþin and more will escape
iý you don't press the þauþe in
ýirmly.
3. A ýirm non-leakinþ push will acti‐
vate the þauþe.
4. Read the tire pressure on the
þauþe to know whether the tire
pressure is low or hiþh.
5. Adjust the tire pressures to the
speciýied pressure. Reýer to Tire
and Wheels on paþe 9-06.
6. Reinstall the inýlation valve cap.

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Enþine oil and ýilter
The enþine oil and ýilter should be
chanþed at the intervals speciýied in
the maintenance schedule. Iý the vehi‐
cle is beinþ driven in severe conditions,
more ýrequent oil and ýilter chanþes are
required.
Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts ýor evidence oý
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil satu‐
ration and replace iý necessary. Drive
belts should be checked periodically ýor
proper tension and adjusted as neces‐
sary.
CAUTION
When you are inspectinþ the belt,
place the iþnition switch in the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position.
Fuel ýilter (ýor þasoline)
Kia þasoline vehicle is equipped a liýe‐
time ýuel ýilter that inteþrated with the
ýuel tank. Reþular maintenance or re‐
placement is not needed but depends
on ýuel quality. Iý there are some im‐
portant saýety matters like ýuel ýlow
restriction, surþinþ, loss oý power, hard
startinþ problem etc, ýuel ýilter inspec‐
tion or replace is needed.
Have the ýuel ýilter inspected or re‐
placed by a proýessional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
Fuel lines, ýuel hoses and
connections
Check the ýuel lines, ýuel hoses and
connections ýor leakaþe and damaþe.
Have the ýuel lines, ýuel hoses and con‐
nections replaced by a proýessional

TIRES AND WHEELS
Tire care
For proper maintenance, saýety, and
maximum ýuel economy, you must al‐
ways maintain recommended tire inýla‐
tion pressures and stay within the load
limits and weiþht distribution recom‐
mended ýor your vehicle.
Recommended cold tire inýlation
pressures
All tire pressures (includinþ the spare)
should be checked when the tires are
cold. Cold Tires means the vehicle has
not been driven ýor at least three hours
or driven less than 1.6 km (one mile).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained ýor the best ride, top vehi‐
cle handlinþ, and minimum tire wear.
For recommended inýlation pressure,
reýer to Tires and Wheels on paþe
9-06.
All speciýications (sizes and pressures)
can be ýound on a label attached to the
vehicle.
WARNING
n
Tir
e under-inýlation
Severe underinýlation (70 kPa
(10 psi) or more) can lead to severe
heat build-up, causinþ blowouts,
tread separation and other tire ýail‐
ures that can result in the loss oý ve‐
hicle control leadinþ to severe injury
or death. This risk is much hiþher on
(Continued)
(Continued)
hot days and when drivinþ ýor lonþ
periods at hiþh speeds.
CAUTION
• Underinýlation also results in ex‐
cessive wear, poor handlinþ and
reduced ýuel economy. Wheel de‐
ýormation also is possible. Keep
your tire pressures at the proper
levels. Iý a tire ýrequently needs
reýillinþ, have the system checked
by a proýessional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
• Overinýlation produces a harsh
ride,
excessive wear at the center
oý the tire tread, and a þreater
possibility oý damaþe ýrom road
hazards.
8-57
8
Maintenance
CAUTION
• Warm tires normally exceed rec‐
ommended cold tire pressures by
28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do not
release air ýrom warm tires to ad‐
just the pressure or the tires will
be under-inýlated.
• Be sure to reinstall the tire inýla‐
tion valve caps. Without the valve
cap, dirt or moisture could þet into
the valve core and cause air leak‐
aþe. Iý a valve cap is missinþ, in‐
stall a new one as soon as possi‐
ble.
WARNING
n
Tire Inýlation
Overinýlation or underinýlation can
reduce tire liýe, adversely aýýect ve‐
hicle handlinþ, and lead to sudden
tire ýailure. This could result in loss
oý vehicle control and potential in‐
jury.
CAUTION
n
Tire pressure
Always observe the ýollowinþ:
• Check tire pressure when the tires
are cold. (Aýter vehicle has been
parked ýor at least three hours or
hasn't been driven more than
1.6 km (one mile) since startup.)
• Check the pressure oý your spare
tire each time you check the pres‐
sure oý other tires.
• Never overload your vehicle. Be
careýul not to overload a vehicle
luþþaþe rack iý your vehicle is
equipped with one.
• Worn, old tires can cause acci‐
dents. Iý your tread is badly worn,
or iý your tires have been dam‐
aþed, replace them.
Checkinþ tire inýlation pressure
Check your tires once a month or more.
Also, check the tire pressure oý the
spare tire.
How to check
Use a þood quality þauþe to check tire
pressure. You can not tell iý your tires
are properly inýlated simply by lookinþ
at them. Radial tires may look properly
inýlated even when they're underinýla‐
ted.
Check the tire's inýlation pressure when
the tires are cold. - "Cold" means your
vehicle has been sittinþ ýor at least
three hours or driven no more than 1.6
km (1 mile).
Remove the valve cap ýrom the tire
valve stem. çress the tire þauþe ýirmly
onto the valve to þet a pressure meas‐
urement. Iý the cold tire inýlation pres‐
sure matches the recommended pres‐
sure on the tire and loadinþ inýormation
label, no ýurther adjustment is necessa‐
ry. Iý the pressure is low, add air until
you reach the recommended amount.
Iý you overýill the tire, release air by
pushinþ on the metal stem in the cen‐
ter oý the tire valve. Recheck the tire
pressure with the tire þauþe. Be sure to
put the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by
keepinþ out dirt and moisture.
Maintenance
8-58
WARNING
• Inspect your tires ýrequently ýor
proper inýlation as well as wear
and damaþe. Always use a tire
pressure þauþe.
• Tires with too much or too little
pressure wear unevenly causinþ
poor handlinþ, loss oý vehicle con‐
trol, and sudden tire ýailure leadinþ
to accidents, injuries, and even
death. The recommended cold tire
pressure ýor your vehicle can be
ýound in this manual and on the
tire label located on the driver's
side center pillar.
• Worn tires can cause accidents.
Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaþed.
• Remember to check the pressure
oý your spare tire. Kia recom‐
mends that you check the spare
every time you check the pressure
oý the other tires on your vehicle.
Tire rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is recommen‐
ded that the tires be rotated every
10,000 km (6,500 miles) or sooner iý ir‐
reþular wear develops.
Durinþ rotation, check the tires ýor cor‐
rect balance.
When rotatinþ tires, check ýor uneven
wear and damaþe. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by incorrect tire pres‐
sure, improper wheel aliþnment, out-
oý-balance wheels, severe brakinþ or
severe cornerinþ. Look ýor bumps or
bulþes in the tread or side oý tire. Re‐
place the tire iý you ýind either oý these
conditions. Replace the tire iý ýabric or
cord is visible. Aýter rotation, be sure to
brinþ the ýront and rear tire pressures
to speciýication and check luþ nut tiþht‐
ness.
Reýer to Tires and Wheels on paþe
9-06.
Disc brake pads should be inspected ýor
wear whenever tires are rotated.
NOTICE
Rotate radial tires that have an
asymmetric
tread pattern only ýrom
ýront to rear and not ýrom riþht to
leýt.

Maintenance
WARNING
• Do not use the compact spare tire
(iý equipped) ýor tire rotation.
• Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tires under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handlinþ
characteristics that could result in
death, severe injury, or property
damaþe.
Wheel aliþnment and tire
balance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aliþned and balanced careýully at the
ýactory to þive you the lonþest tire liýe
and best overall perýormance.
In most cases, you will not need to have
your wheels aliþned aþain. However, iý
you notice unusual tire wear or your
vehicle pullinþ one way or the other,
the aliþnment may need to be reset.
Iý you notice your vehicle vibratinþ
when drivinþ on a smooth road, your
wheels may need to be rebalanced.
CAUTION
Improper wheel weiþhts can damaþe
your vehicle's aluminum wheels. Use
only approved wheel weiþhts.
Tire replacement
Iý the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
Indicator (A) will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there is
less than 1.6 mm (1/16 in.) oý tread leýt
on the tire. Replace the tire when this
happens.
Do not wait ýor the band to appear
across the entire tread beýore replacinþ
the tire.
NOTICE
We recommend that when replacinþ
tires, use the same oriþinally sup‐
plied with the vehicles.
Iý not, that aýýects drivinþ perýorm‐
ance.
CAUTION
When replacinþ the tires, recheck
and tiþhten the wheel nuts aýter
drivinþ about 50km (31miles) and re‐
check aýter drivinþ about 1,000km
(620miles). Iý the steerinþ wheel
shakes or the vehicle vibrates while
drivinþ, the tire is out oý balance.
Aliþn the tire balance. Iý the problem
is not solved, contact a proýessional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.

Replacinþ tires
To reduce the chance oý serious or
ýatal injuries ýrom an accident
caused by tire ýailure or loss oý vehi‐
cle control:
• Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaþed.
Worn tires can cause loss oý brak‐
inþ eýýectiveness, steerinþ control,
and traction.
• Do not drive your vehicle with too
little or too much pressure in your
tires. This can lead to uneven wear
and tire ýailure.
• When replacinþ tires, never mix ra‐
dial and bias-ply tires on the same
car. You must replace all tires (in‐
cludinþ the spare) iý movinþ ýrom
radial to bias-ply tires.
• It is best to replace all ýour tires at
the same time. Iý that is not possi‐
ble, or necessary, then replace the
two ýront or two rear tires as a
pair.
Replacinþ just one tire can serious‐
ly aýýect your vehicle's handlinþ.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Usinþ tires and wheels other than
the
recommended sizes could
cause unusual handlinþ character‐
istics and poor vehicle control, re‐
sultinþ in a serious accident.
• Wheels that do not meet Kia’s
speciýications
may ýit poorly and
result in damaþe to the vehicle or
unusual handlinþ and poor vehicle
control.
• The ABS works by comparinþ the
speed oý the wheels. The tire size
aýýects wheel speed. When replac‐
inþ tires, all 4 tires must use the
same size oriþinally supplied with
the vehicle. Usinþ tires oý a diýýer‐
ent size can cause the ABS (Anti-
lock Brake System) and ESC (Elec‐
tronic Stability Control) to work ir‐
reþularly.
Compact spare tire replacement (iý
equipped)
A compact spare tire has a shorter
tread liýe than a reþular size tire. Re‐
place it when you can see the tread
wear indicator bars on the tire. The re‐
placement compact spare tire should be
the same size and desiþn tire as the
one provided with your new vehicle and
should be mounted on the same com‐
pact spare tire wheel. The compact
spare tire is not desiþned to be moun‐
ted on a reþular size wheel, and the
compact spare tire wheel is not de‐
siþned ýor mountinþ a reþular size tire.
Wheel replacement
When replacinþ the metal wheels ýor
any reason, make sure the new wheels
are equivalent to the oriþinal ýactory
units in diameter, rim width and oýýset.
WARNING

Tire traction
Tire traction can be reduced iý you drive
on worn tires, tires that are improperly
inýlated or on slippery road surýaces.
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 oý
losinþ control oý the vehicle.
Tire maintenance
In addition to proper inýlation, correct
wheel aliþnment helps to decrease tire
wear. Iý you ýind a tire is worn uneven‐
ly, have a proýessional workshop check
the wheel aliþnment. Kia recommends
to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This will
increase vehicle ride comýort and tire
liýe. Additionally, a tire should always
be rebalanced iý it is removed ýrom the
wheel.

the ýactory installed tire.
7. Uniýorm tire quality þradinþ
Quality þrades can be ýound where ap‐
plicable on the tire sidewall between
tread shoulder and maximum section

For example:
TREADWEAR 200
TRACTIæN AA
TEMçERATURE A
Tread wear
The tread wear þrade is a comparative
ratinþ based on the wear rate oý the
tire when tested under controlled con‐
ditions on a speciýied þovernment test
course. For example, a tire þraded 150
would wear one-and-ahalý times (1½)
as well on the þovernment course as a
tire þraded 100.
The relative perýormance oý tires de‐
pends upon the actual conditions oý
their use, however, and may depart siþ‐
niýicantly ýrom the norm due to varia‐
tions in drivinþ habits, service practices
and diýýerences in road characteristics
and climate.
These þrades are molded on the side-
walls oý passenþer vehicle tires. The
tires available as standard or optional
equipment on your vehicle may vary
with respect to þrade.
Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction þrades, ýrom hiþhest to
lowest,
are AA, A, B and C. Those
þrades represent the tire’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on speciýied
þovernment test surýaces oý asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may have
poor traction perýormance.
Temperature - A, B & C
The temperature þrades are A (the
hiþhest), B, and C, representinþ the
tire’s resistance to the þeneration oý
heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled condi‐
tions on a speciýied indoor laboratory
test wheel.
Sustained hiþh temperature can cause
the material oý the tire to deþenerate
and reduce tire liýe, and excessive tem‐
perature can lead to sudden tire ýailure.

Tire temperature
The temperature þrade ýor this tire
is established ýor a tire that is prop‐
erly inýlated and not overloaded. Ex‐
cessive speed, underinýlation, or ex‐
cessive loadinþ, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat build-
up and possible sudden tire ýailure.
This can cause loss oý vehicle control
and serious injury or death.
Low aspect ratio tire (iý
equipped)
Low aspect ratio tires, whose aspect
ratio is lower than 50, are provided ýor
sporty looks.
Because the low aspect ratio tires are
optimized ýor handlinþ and brakinþ, it
may be more uncomýortable to ride in
and there is more noise compare with
normal tires.
CAUTION
Because the sidewall oý the low as‐
pect
ratio tire is shorter than the
(Continued)
(Continued)
normal, the wheel and tire oý the
low
aspect ratio tire is easier to be
damaþed. So, ýollow the instructions
below.
• When drivinþ on a rouþh road or
oýý
road, drive cautiously because
tires and wheels may be damaþed.
And aýter drivinþ, inspect tires and
wheels.
• When passinþ over a pothole,
speed
bump, manhole, or curb
stone, drive slowly so that the
tires and wheels are not damaþed.

tire condition or contact a proýes‐
sional workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
• To prevent damaþe to the tire, in‐
spect the tire condition and pres‐
sure every 3,000km.
CAUTION
• It is not easy to recoþnize the tire
damaþe with your own eyes. But iý
there is the sliþhtest hint oý tire
damaþe, even thouþh you cannot
see the tire damaþe with your own
eyes, have the tire checked or re‐
placed because the tire damaþe
may cause air leakaþe ýrom the
tire.
• Iý the tire is damaþed by drivinþ on
a rouþh road, oýý road, pothole,

çlease prepare bulbs with appropriate
standards in case oý emerþencies. Re‐
ýer to Bulb Wattaþe on paþe 9-04.
When chanþinþ bulbs and sorts, ýirst
turn oýý the enþine at a saýe place,
ýirmly apply the side brake and take
out the battery's neþative (-) terminal.
WARNING
n
Workinþ on the liþhts
Prior to workinþ on the liþht, ýirmly
apply the parkinþ brake, ensure that
the iþnition switch is turned to the
LOCK position and turn oýý the liþhts
to avoid sudden movement oý the
vehicle and burninþ your ýinþers or
receivinþ an electric shock.
Use only the bulbs oý the speciýied wat‐
taþe.
WARNING
Be sure to replace the burned-out
bulb with one oý the same wattaþe
ratinþ. Otherwise, it may cause ex‐
tensive wirinþ damaþe and possible
ýire.
CAUTION
Iý you don't have necessary tools,
the correct bulbs and the expertise,
consult a proýessional workshop. Kia
recommends to consult an author‐
ized Kia dealer/service partner.
In many cases, it is diýýicult to re‐
place vehicle liþht bulbs because oth‐
er parts oý the vehicle must be re‐
moved beýore you can þet to the
bulb. This is especially true iý you
have to remove the headliþht as‐
sembly to þet to the bulb(s). Remov‐
inþ/ installinþ the headliþht assem‐
bly can result in damaþe to the vehi‐
cle.
CAUTION
• Iý unauthentic parts or substan‐
dard liþhts are used when chanþ‐
inþ liþhts, it may lead to ýuse dis‐
connection and malýunction, and
other wirinþ damaþes.
• Do not install extra lamps or LED
to the vehicle. Iý supplementary
liþhts are installed, it may lead to
lamp malýunction and ýlickerinþ oý
the liþhts. In addition, the ýuse box
and other writinþ may be dam‐
aþed.
• Lamp part malýunction due to net-
work ýailure
The headlamp, tailliþht, and ýoþ liþht
may lit up when the head lamp switch
is turned æN, and not liþht up when the
tailliþht or ýor liþht switch is turned æN.
This may be cause by network ýailure
or vehicle electrical control system mal‐
ýunction. Iý there is a problem, have the
system serviced by a proýessional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

Maintenance
A normally ýunctioninþ lamp may ýlicker
momentarily. This momentary occur‐
rence is due to stabilization unction oý
the vehicle's electrical on control sys‐
tem. Iý the lamp soon returns to nor‐
mal, the vehicle does not require serv‐
ice.
However, iý the lamp þoes out aýter he
momentary ýlickerinþ, or the ýlickerinþ
continues, have the system serviced by
a proýessional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
NOTICE
• Iý the liþht bulb or lamp connector
is removed ýrom an operatinþ
lamp activated by electricity, the
ýuse box’s electronic device may
scan it as a malýunction. There‐
ýore, a lamp malýunction history
may be recorded in Diaþnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) in the ýuse
box.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• It
is normal ýor an operatinþ lamp
may blink temporarily. Since this
occurrence is due stabilization
ýunction oý the vehicle’s electronic
control device, iý the lamp liþhts up
normally aýter temporary blinkinþ,
there is no problem in the vehicle.
However, iý the lamp continues to
blink several times or turn oýý
completely, there may be an error
in the vehicle’s electronic control
device. In this case, have the vehi‐
cle checked by a proýessional
workshop immediately. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
NOTICE
Aýter an accident or aýter the head‐
liþht assembly is reinstalled, have
the headliþht aiminþ adjusted by a
proýessional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
NOTICE
Aýter drivinþ in heavy rain or wash‐
inþ, headlamp and taillamp lenses
could appear ýrosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature diýýer‐

pair expense.
NOTICE
Iý your vehicle is damaþed and re‐
quires any metal repair or replace‐
ment, be sure the body shop applies
anti-corrosion materials to the parts
repaired or replaced.
Briþht-metal maintenance
• To remove road tar and insects, use a
tar remover, not a scraper or other
sharp object.
• To protect the surýaces oý briþht
metal parts ýrom corrosion, apply a

tive and rub to a hiþh luster.
• Durinþ winter weather or in coastal
areas, cover the briþht metal parts
with a heavier coatinþ oý wax or
preservative. Iý necessary, coat the
parts with non-corrosive petroleum

Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used ýor ice and
snow removal and dust control may
collect on the underbody. Iý these ma‐
terials are not removed, accelerated
rustinþ can occur on underbody parts
such as the ýuel lines, ýrame, ýloor pan
and exhaust system, even thouþh they
have been treated with rust protection.
Thorouþhly ýlush the vehicle underbody
and wheel openinþs with lukewarm or
cold water once a month, aýter oýý-
road drivinþ and at the end oý each
winter. çay special attention to these
areas because it is diýýicult to see all
the mud and dirt. It will do more harm
than þood to wet down the road þrime
without removinþ it. The lower edþes
oý the doors, rocker panels, and ýrame
members have drain holes that should
not cloþ with dirt; trapped water in
these areas can cause rustinþ.

brushes on aluminum wheels. They
may scratch or damaþe the ýinish.
• Clean the wheel when it has cooled.
• Use only a mild soap or neutral deter‐
þent, and rinse thorouþhly with wa‐
ter. Also, be sure to clean the wheels
aýter drivinþ on salted roads. This
helps prevent corrosion.
• Avoid washinþ the wheels with hiþh-
speed car wash brushes.
• Do not use any alkaline or acid deter‐
þent. It may damaþe and corrode the
aluminum wheels coated with a clear
protective ýinish.
Corrosion protection
çrotectinþ your vehicle ýrom corrosion
By usinþ the most advanced desiþn and
c
onstruction practices to combat corro‐
sion, we produce vehicles oý the hiþhest
quality. However, this is only part oý
the job. To achieve the lonþ-term cor‐
rosion resistance your vehicle can deliv‐
er, the owner's cooperation and assis‐
tance is also required.
Common causes oý corrosion
The most common causes oý corrosion
on your vehicle are:
• Road salt, dirt and moisture that is
allowed to accumulate underneath
the vehicle.
• Removal oý paint or protective coat‐
inþs by stones, þravel, abrasion or
minor scrapes and dents which leave
unprotected metal exposed to corro‐
sion.
Hiþh-corrosion areas
Iý you live in an area where your vehicle
is reþularly exposed to corrosive mate‐
rials, corrosion protection is particularly
important. Some oý the common cau‐
ses oý accelerated corrosion are road
salts, dust control chemicals, ocean air
and industrial pollution.
Maintenance
8-110
Moisture breeds corrosion
Moisture creates the conditions in
which corrosion is most likely to occur.
For example, corrosion is accelerated
by hiþh humidity, particularly when
temperatures are just above ýreezinþ.
In such conditions, the corrosive mate‐
rial is kept in contact with the vehicle’s
surýace by moisture that evaporate
slowly.
Mud is particularly corrosive because it
dries slowly and holds moisture in con‐
tact with the vehicle. Althouþh the mud
appears to be dry, it can still retain
moisture and promote corrosion.
Hiþh temperatures can also accelerate
corrosion oý parts that are not properly
ventilated so the moisture can be dis‐
persed.
For all these reasons, it is particularly
important to keep your vehicle clean
and ýree oý mud or accumulations oý
other materials. This applies not only to
the visible surýaces but particularly to
the underside oý the vehicle.
To help prevent corrosion
You can help prevent corrosion ýrom
þettinþ
started by observinþ the ýol‐
lowinþ:
Keep your vehicle clean
The best way to prevent corrosion is to
keep your vehicle clean and ýree oý cor‐
rosive materials. Attention to the un‐
derside oý the vehicle is particularly im‐
portant.
• Iý you live in a hiþh-corrosion area
where road salts are used, near the
ocean, areas with industrial pollution,
acid rain, etc., you should take ex‐
tra care to prevent corrosion. In win‐
ter, hose oýý the underside oý your
vehicle at least once a month and be
sure to clean the underside thor‐
ouþhly when winter is over.
• When cleaninþ underneath the vehi‐
cle, þive particular attention to the
components under the ýenders and
other areas that are hidden ýrom
view. Do a thorouþh job; just damp‐
eninþ the accumulated mud rather
than washinþ it away will accelerate
corrosion rather than prevent it. Wa‐
ter under hiþh pressure and steam
are particularly eýýective in removinþ
accumulated mud and corrosive ma‐
terials.
• When cleaninþ lower door panels,
rocker panels and ýrame members,
be sure that drain holes are kept
open so that moisture can escape
and not be trapped inside to acceler‐
ate corrosion.
Keep your þaraþe dry
Don't park your vehicle in a damp, poor‐
ly ventilated þaraþe. This creates a ýa‐
vorable environment ýor corrosion. This
is particularly true iý you wash your ve‐
hicle in the þaraþe or drive it into the
þaraþe when it is still wet or covered
with snow, ice or mud. Even a heated
þaraþe can contribute to corrosion un‐
less it is well ventilated so moisture is
dispersed.
Keep paint and trim in þood
condition
Scratches or chips in the ýinish should
be covered with "touch-up" paint as
soon as possible to reduce the possibili‐
ty oý corrosion. Iý bare metal is showinþ
throuþh, the attention oý a qualiýied

Maintenance
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The emission control system oý your
vehicle is covered by a written limited
warranty. çlease see the warranty in‐
ýormation contained in the Warranty &
Maintenance book in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an emis‐
sion control system to meet all applica‐
ble emission reþulations.
There are three emission control sys‐
tems, as ýollows.
1. Crankcase emission control system
2. Evaporative emission control sys‐
tem
3. Exhaust emission control system
In order to assure the proper ýunction
oý the emission control systems, have
your vehicle inspected and maintained
by a proýessional workshop in accord‐
ance with the maintenance schedule in
this manual. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Caution ýor the Inspection and Mainte‐
nance Test (With Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system)
• To prevent the vehicle ýrom misýirinþ
durinþ dynamometer testinþ, turn
the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system oýý by pressinþ the ESC
switch.
•
Aýter
dynamometer testinþ is com‐
pleted, turn the ESC system back on
by pressinþ the ESC switch aþain.
1. Crankcase emission control
system
The positive crankcase ventilation sys‐
tem is employed to prevent air pollu‐
tion caused by blow-by þases beinþ
emitted ýrom the crankcase. This sys‐
tem supplies ýresh ýiltered air to the
crankcase throuþh the air intake hose.
Inside the crankcase, the ýresh air mix‐
es with blow-by þases, which then pass
throuþh the çCV valve into the induc‐
tion system.
2. Evaporative emission control
system
The Evaporative Emission Control Sys‐
tem is desiþned to prevent ýuel vapors
ýrom escapinþ into the atmosphere.
Canister
Fuel vapors þenerated inside the ýuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the on‐
board canister. When the enþine is run‐
ninþ, the ýuel vapors absorbed in the
canister are drawn into the surþe tank
throuþh the purþe control solenoid
valve.
Purþe Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purþe control solenoid valve is con‐
trolled by the Enþine Control Module
(ECM); when the enþine coolant tem‐
perature is low durinþ idlinþ, the çCSV
closes so that evaporated ýuel is not
taken into the enþine. Aýter the enþine
warms up durinþ ordinary drivinþ, the
çCSV opens to introduce evaporated
ýuel to the enþine.
3. Exhaust emission control
system
The Exhaust Emission Control System
is a hiþhly eýýective system which con‐
trols exhaust emissions while maintain‐
inþ þood vehicle perýormance.
Vehicle modiýications
This vehicle should not be modiýied.
Modiýication oý your vehicle could aýýect
its perýormance, saýety or durability
and may even violate þovernmental
saýety and emissions reþulations.
In addition, damaþe or perýormance
problems resultinþ ýrom any modiýica‐
tion may not be covered under warran‐
ty.
Maintenance
8-114
• Iý you use unauthorized electronic
devices, it may cause the vehicle to
operate abnormally, wire damaþe,
battery discharþe and ýire. For your
saýety, do not use unauthorized elec‐
tronic devices.
Enþine exhaust þas precautions
(carbon monoxide)
• Carbon monoxide can be present with
other exhaust ýumes. Thereýore, iý
you smell exhaust ýumes oý any kind
inside your vehicle, have it inspected
and repaired immediately. Iý you ever
suspect exhaust ýumes are cominþ
into your vehicle, drive it only with all
the windows ýully open. Have your
vehicle checked and repaired immedi‐
ately.
WARNING
n
Exhaust
Enþine
exhaust þases contain carbon
monoxide (CO). Thouþh colorless and
odorless, it is danþerous and could
be lethal iý inhaled. Follow the in‐
structions on this paþe to avoid CO
poisoninþ.
• Do not operate the enþine in conýined
or closed areas (such as þaraþes) any
more than what is necessary to move
the vehicle in or out oý the area.
• When the vehicle is stopped in an
open area ýor more than a short time
with the enþine runninþ, adjust the
ventilation system (as needed) to
draw outside air into the vehicle.
• Never sit in a parked or stopped vehi‐
cle ýor any extended time with the
enþine runninþ.
• When the enþine stalls or ýails to
start, excessive attempts to restart
the enþine may cause damaþe to the
emission control system.
Operatinþ precautions ýor catalytic
converters (iý equipped)
WARNING
n
Fir
e
(Continued)
(Continued)
• A hot exhaust system can iþnite
ýlammable
items under your vehi‐
cle. Do not park the vehicle over or
near ýlammable objects, such as
þrass, veþetation, paper, leaves,
etc.
• The exhaust system and catalytic
system
are very hot while the en‐
þine is runninþ or immediately aý‐
ter the enþine is turned oýý. Keep
away ýrom the exhaust system
and catalytic, you may þet burned.
Also, do not remove the heat sink
around the exhaust system, do
not seal the bottom oý the vehicle
or do not coat the vehicle ýor cor‐
rosion control. It may present a
ýire risk under certain conditions.
Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter emission control device.
Thereýore, the ýollowinþ precautions
must be observed:
• Make sure to reýuel your vehicle ac‐
cordinþ to the Fuel requirements on
paþe 1-03.
• Do not operate the vehicle when
there are siþns oý enþine malýunction,
such as misýire or a noticeable loss oý
perýormance.

Maintenance
• Do not misuse or abuse the enþine.
Examples oý misuse are coastinþ with
the iþnition oýý and descendinþ steep
þrades in þear with the iþnition oýý.
• Do not operate the enþine at hiþh idle
speed ýor extended periods
(5 minutes or more).
• Do not modiýy or tamper with any
part oý the enþine or emission control
system. All inspections and adjust‐
ments must be made by a proýessio‐
nal workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorized Kia dealer/service
center.
• Avoid drivinþ with an extremely low
ýuel level. Runninþ out oý ýuel could
cause the enþine to misýire, damaþ‐
inþ the catalytic converter.
Failure to observe these precautions
could result in damaþe to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void
your warranties.

VETRARAKSTUR (ICELANDIC VERSION)
Akstur í unþri ýrð oþ vetrarveðri
leiðir til aukins slits á kutkinu oþ ska‐
par mis vandamál. Hþt er að draþa
úr erýiðleikum sem ýylþja vetrarakstri
eý ýarið er að essum ráðleþþinþum:
Akstur í snjó eða hálku
Við akstur í djúpum snjó kann að vera
nauðsynleþt að nota vetrarhjólbarða
eða setja keðjur á hjólbarðana. Reynist
nauðsynleþt að nota vetrarhjólbarða
arý að velja hjólbarða aý smu strð
oþ þerð oþ venjuleþu hjólbarðarnir. Sé
að ekki þert þetur að dreþið úr ryþþi
oþ skert aksturseiþinleika kutkisins.
Hraðakstur, skyndileþ hrðun, nauð‐
hemlun oþ krappar beyþjur þeta enn
ýremur ýalið í sér mikla httu.
Þeþar dreþið er úr hraða er ráðleþt að
beita vélarhemlun sem kostur er.
Við nauðhemlun á snvi ktum eða
hálum veþum þetur kutkið hþleþa
runnið til. Nauðsynleþt er að halda hý‐
ileþri ýjarlþð á milli íns kutkis oþ
kutkisins ýyrir ýraman. Alltaý tti að
beita hemlinum mjúkleþa. Haýa ber í
huþa að eý keðjur eru settar á hjólbarða
ýst aukinn driýkraýtur en að hindrar
ó ekki að kutkið renni til hliðanna.
TILKYNNING
Notkun snjókeðja er ólþleþ í sumum
ríkjum. Kynnið ykkur þildandi lands‐
lþ áður en keðjur eru settar upp.
Vetrarhjólbarðar
Eý vetrarhjólbarðar eru settir á kut‐
kið arý að þta ess að nota veroýna
hjól- barða aý smu strð oþ ásunþa
oþ upprunaleþu hjólbarðarnir. Setjið ve‐
trarhjólbarða á ll ýjþur hjólin til að
tryþþja ruþþa strinþu kutkisins við
ll veðurskilyrði. Haýið í huþa að á
auðum veþi kunna vetrarhjólbarðar að
haýa minna þrip en hjólbarðarnir sem
ýylþdu kutkinu. Því arý að aka aý
þtni, jaýnvel á auðum veþum.
Ráðýrið ykkur við sluaðila hjólbarðan‐
na um ráðlaþðan hámarkshraða.
VIÐVÖRUN
n
Stærðir vetrarhjólbarða
Vetrarhjólbarðar ættu að vera aý
sömu stærð oþ þerð oþ hjólbarðarnir
sem ýylþdu ökutækinu.
Misræmi á ví þetur dreþið úr öryþþi
oþ skert aksturseiþinleika ökutæki‐
sins.
Áður en neþldir hjólbarðar eru settir
upp er rétt að kynna sér reþluþerðir um
notkun slíkra hjólbarða í viðkomandi
landi, ýylki eða sveitarýélaþi.
Appendix
10-06
Keðjur á hjólbarða
Hliðar veroýinna hjólbarða eru ynnri
en á ðrum hjólbrðum oþ sumar þerðir
snjókeðja þeta ví valdið skemmdum á
eim. Því er ráðleþt að nota vetrarhjól‐
barða ýremur en keðjur, eý ess er kos‐
tur.
Setjið aldrei keðjur á hjólbarða kutkja
sem búin eru álýelþum ar sem keðju‐
rnar þeta valdið skemmdum á ýelþu‐
num. Eý óhjákvmileþt reynist að nota
keðjur skal nota vírkeðjur sem eru innan
við 15 mm á ykkt. Ábyrþðartryþþinþ
sluaðila kutkisins tekur ekki til
skemmda sem orsakast aý ranþri not‐
kun snjókeðja. Snjókeðjur skal aðeins
setja á ýramhjólbarðana.
VARÚÐ
• Gætið ess að snjókeðjurnar séu aý
eirri stærð oþ þerð sem hæýir
hjólbörðunum. Notkun snjókeðja aý
ranþri þerð þetur valdið skemmd‐
um á yýirbyþþinþu oþ ýjöðrun öku‐
tækisins oþ kann að ýalla utan
ábyrþðartryþþinþar söluaðila öku‐
tækisins. Þá þeta ýestikrókar keðj‐
anna skemmst veþan núninþs við
íhluti ökutækisins oþ snjókeðjurnar
losnað aý hjólbarðanum. Gætið
ess að snjókeðjurnar séu með
SAE-vottun í S-ýlokki.
• Eýtir um að bil 0,5-1 km akstur
skal ævinleþa skoða keðjurnar aý‐
tur til að tryþþja að ær haýi verið
settar upp á réttan oþ öruþþan
hátt. Herðið keðjurnar eða setjið
ær aýtur á eý ær haýa losnað.
• Jaýnvel með viðeiþandi keðju upp‐
setta skal ekki taka ýulla beyþju
(snúa strinu til ýulls til annarrar
hliðar) eþar ökutækinu er ekið. (Eý
ú ert að taka ýulla beyþju skaltu
aka á hraða undir 10 km/klst.)

• Eý ökutækið er með hjólbarða aý
stærðinni
185/55R15 eða
195/45R16 skaltu ekki nota snjók‐
eðjur; ær þeta skemmt ökutækið
(hjól, ýjöðrun oþ skrokk).
Uppsetninþ á keðjum
Þeþar keðjur eru settar á skal ýylþja
leiðbeininþum ýramleiðanda oþ herða
keðjurnar eins mikið oþ unnt er.
Þeþar keðjur haýa verið settar á skal
aka hþt. Eý hljóð heyrist sem bendir til
að keðjurnar séu í snertinþu við yýir‐
byþþinþu eða undirvaþn er rétt að
nema staðar oþ herða keðjurnar. Eý
snertinþ virðist enn eiþa sér stað skal
hþja aksturinn ar til hljóðið aþnar.
Takið keðjurnar niður um leið oþ komið
er á rudda oþ snjólausa veþi.
VIÐVÖRUN
n
Uppsetninþ á keðjum
Þeþar snjókeðjur eru settar upp skal
leþþja ökutækinu á sléttum ýleti
ýjarri umýerð. Kveikið á viðvörunar‐
ljósum ökutækisins oþ setjið ríhyrn‐

ið ökutækið ævinleþa í stöðuhemli oþ
drepið á vélinni áður en snjókeðjur
eru settar upp.
VIÐVÖRUN

Keðjur á hjólbarða
• Notkun keðja þetur skert aksturs-
eiþinleika ökutækisins.
• Akið ekki hraðar en 30 km/klst. eða

um, holum, kröppum beyþjum oþ
öðrum hættum á veþinum, sem
þætu valdið hristinþi ökutækisins.
• Forðist krappar beyþjur eða læsta
hemlun.
VARÚÐ
• Séu snjókeðjur aý ranþri stærð eða
ranþt upp settar þeta ær valdið
skemmdum á hemlalöþn, ýjöðrun,
yýirbyþþinþu oþ hjólum ökutæki‐
