The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly against the occupant’s body in certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated alone or, together with the air bags, where the frontal collision is severe enough. The pre-tensioner seat belt is installed at the front seats, and the sensor is equipped inside the buckle, where presence of passenger is sensed by the fastening of the seat belts. Therefore, pretensioner will not activate if the passenger is not fastened with the seat belts. Likewise, it will activate if buckled even without a passenger in the seat. Pre-tensioner seat belt is designed to activate when the seatbelt is in use. To ensure the pretensioner seatbelts activate in event of a possible seatbelt buckle switch malfunction, the system is designed to activate regardless of whether a seat belt is in use or if no seat belt use is detected within 6 seconds of turning the ignition switch ON. ➀ ➁ ➂ 1KMB3311A The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists mainly of the following components. Their locations are shown in the illustration. ➀ SRS air bag warning light ➁ Seatbelt pre-tensioner assembly ➂ SRS air bag control module WARNING To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-tensioner seat belt: • The seat belt must be worn correctly. • The seat belt must be adjusted to the correct position. 3 30 Knowing your vehicle Load limiter When the pre-tentioner activates, if the system senses excessive seat belt tension on the driver or passenger’s seat belt, the load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will release some of the pressure on the affected seat belt. WARNING When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated and the air bag is deployed, a loud noise may be heard and fine dust, which may appear to be smoke, may be visible in the passenger compartment and are not toxic. Although, it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and should not be breathed for prolonged periods. Wash your hands and face thoroughly after an accident in which the air bags and/or pre-tensioner seat belts were activated. WARNING • Because the sensor that activates the SRS air bag is connected with pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS air bag warning light on the instrument panel will blink or illuminate for approximately 6 seconds after the ignition key has been turned to the “ON” position, then the light should go off. • If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not working properly, this warning light will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of SRS air bag system. If the SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to “ON” , or if it remains illuminated after blinking or illuminating for approximately 6 seconds, or if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, please have an authorized Kia dealer inspect the pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS air bag system as soon as possible. WARNING The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become hot during activation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat belt assembly for several minutes after they have been activated. WARNING • Pre-tensioners are designed to operate once. After activation, pre-tensioner seat belts must be replaced. All seat belts, of any type, should always be replaced after they have been worn during a collision. • Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. This must be done by an authorized Kia dealer. 3 31 Knowing your vehicle WARNING • Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies. • Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt system in any manner. • Improper handling of the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed the warnings not to strike, modify, inspect, place, service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead to improper operation or inadvertent activation causing serious injury. Always wear the seat belts when driving or riding in a motor vehicle. 3 32 Safety belt restraint system WARNING - Safety belts To minimize the risk of serious or fatal injury in an accident, the driver and all passengers should use the appropriate safety restraints for their age and size. The presence of air bags does not change the need to be properly restrained by a safety belt or size-appropriate child restraint. In fact, air bags are designed to work the best when passengers are correctly restrained in the vehicle. Be sure you are familiar with the information in this section, including the information on infant and child restraints. Read the safety warnings on the sun visors of your vehicle also. We strongly recommend that the driver and all passengers be properly restrained at all times by using the safety belts provided with the vehicle. Proper use of the safety belts decreases the risk of severe injury or death in accidents or sudden stops. In most states, and in Canada, the law requires their use. All seats have lap/shoulder belts. Inertial locks in the safety belt retractors allow all of the lap/shoulder safety belts to remain unlocked during normal vehicle operation. This allows the occupants some freedom of movement and increased comfort while using the safety belts. If a force is applied to the vehicle, such as a strong stop, a sharp turn, or a collision, the safety belt retractors will automatically lock the safety belts. Knowing your vehicle Since the inertial locks do not require a collision in order to lock up, you may become aware of the safety belts locking while braking or going around sharp corners. WARNING Always use the rear seat position(s) to install your child restraint(s). Never install a child restraint system in the front passenger position, as an inflating air bag could cause serious or fatal injury to a child in that position. The rear safety belts use a special autolock feature designed to allow a child restraint to be used without an added locking clip. These safety belt positions normally lock only under extreme or emergency conditions (emergency lock mode). However, they can be adjusted so that they remain in fixed and locked when a child restraint system is in place. (Use this auto-lock mode only to secure a child restraint, never for passengers restrained by the safety belts.) Page 3-46 gives instructions on placing the safety belt in the auto lock mode. The driver’s safety belt can only operate in the emergency lock mode. Safety belts provide the best restraint when: • The seatback is upright. • The occupant is sitting upright (not slouched). • The lap belt is snug across the hips. • The shoulder belt is snug across the chest. • The knees are straight forward. To help you remember to fasten your safety belt, a warning light will come on and a chime will sound. See Safety Belt Warning Light and Chime on page 3-35. WARNING - After a collision • Lap/shoulder belt assemblies may be stretched or damaged when subjected to the stress and forces of a collision. • The entire restraint system should be inspected following any collision. All belts, retractors, anchors and hardware damaged by a collision should be replaced before the vehicle is operated again. 3 33 Knowing your vehicle WARNING - Cargo area (if equipped) Passengers should never be allowed to ride in the cargo area of a vehicle. No safety belts are provided for the cargo area. Persons riding in the vehicle without a fastened safety belt are much more likely to suffer serious bodily injury or death during an accident. WARNING - Twisted belts A twisted or jammed safety belt cannot restrain you properly. If you cannot untwist or unjam the safety belt, have an authorized Kia dealer repair or replace it immediately. Never drive or ride with a twisted or jammed safety belt. 3 34 WARNING - Belt use Safety belts must be used correctly to work properly in an accident. Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific safety belt assembly that includes a buckle and tongue designed to be used together. For greatest effectiveness, follow these guidelines in using safety belts: • Use the shoulder portion of the safety belt on the outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder portion under the arm. • Never swing the safety belt around your neck to fit over the inside shoulder. • Never wear the shoulder portion of the safety belt across the neck or face. (Continued) (Continued) • Wear the lap portion as low as possible. Be sure that the lap belt fits snugly around the hips. Never wear a lap portion of a lap/shoulder belt over your waist; it should always go over the stronger area of your hips. • Never use a single safety belt for more than one person. • The front seatbacks should always remain in a comfortable, upright position when the vehicle is moving. Knowing your vehicle WARNING - Safety belt care • A damaged belt may not give you the protection you need in an accident. • Inspect your safety belts periodically for excessive wear or damage. Pull out each belt fully and look for fraying, cuts, burns or other damage. Pull the safety belt out and let it retract a number of times. Make sure that the lap/shoulder belts return smoothly and easily into the retractor. • Check the latches to make sure they latch and release without interference or delay. • Never close the doors on any part of the lap or shoulder belt. • Any belt not in good condition or in good working order should be promptly replaced. CAUTION Never close the doors on any part of the lap or shoulder belt. It can damage the safety belt or buckle which could increase the risk of injury in case of an accident. 1GQA2083 Safety belt warning light and chime If the driver's lap/shoulder belt is not fastened when the key is turned ON or if it is unfastened after the key is turned ON, safety belt warning light blinks until the belt is fastened. If the driver's lap/shoulder belt is not fastened when the key is turned ON or if it is unfastened after the key is turned ON, safety belt warning chime sounds for approximately 6 seconds. 3 35 Knowing your vehicle ➁ ➀ ➁ S2BLA371 Lap/shoulder belt To fasten the front lap/shoulder belt: 1.

Replace damaged, excessively worn or questionable parts immediately. 3 40 • To clean the belt webbing, use a mild soap solution recommended for cleaning upholstery or carpets. Follow the instructions provided with the soap. Do not bleach or dye the webbing because this may weaken the webbing fibers and allow them to fail when loaded in a collision. • Do not make modifications or additions to the safety belt. • After wearing a safety belt, make sure it fully retracts to the stowed position. Do not allow the belt to get caught in the door when you close it. Restraint of pregnant women Pregnant women should wear lap/shoulder belt assemblies whenever possible according to specific recommendations by their doctors. The lap portion of the belt should be worn AS SNUGLY AND LOW AS POSSIBLE. WARNING - Pregnant women Pregnant women must never place the lap portion of the safety belt over the area of the abdomen where the fetus is located or above the abdomen where the belt could crush the fetus during an impact. Knowing your vehicle Restraint of infants and small children To increase their safety, infants and young children should always be restrained by a restraint system approved for their age and size. Never allow a child to stand or kneel on the seat of a moving vehicle. Never allow a safety belt to be placed around both a child and an adult or around two children at the same time. It is best for children to be seated in the rear seats. WARNING - Children on laps Never hold a child on your lap or in your arms in a moving vehicle. Even a very strong person cannot hold onto a child in the event of even a minor collision. Many companies manufacture child restraint systems (often called child seats) for infants and small children. An acceptable child restraint system must always satisfy Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Make sure that any child-restraint system you use in your vehicle is labelled as complying with Federal Safety Standards. The child-restraint system should be chosen to fit both the size of the child and the size of the vehicle seat. Be sure to follow any instructions provided by the child-restraint system manufacturer when installing the child-restraint system. WARNING - Infants and young children • Infants and young children are at much greater risk of serious injury or death in an accident or sudden stop if they are unrestrained or restrained improperly. Follow all instructions in this section of your Kia manual and the instructions that came on and with an improved child safety restraint system. The child restraint must be correctly installed in the vehicle, and the child must be correctly installed in the child restraint. • All children under 12 are safest in the back seat. • Never install a child or infant seat in the front passenger position. The baby could be injured or killed by the air bag if it deploys in an accident. • Never allow a child to stand or kneel on the seat of a moving vehicle. Insist the child sit down in an approved restraint system. 3 41 Knowing your vehicle WARNING - Hot metal parts Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that has been closed during warm/hot weather; they could burn a child. Check seat covers and buckles before you place a child anywhere near them. 3 42 Restraint of larger children As children grow, they may need to use new child-restraint systems, including larger child seats or booster seats, which are appropriate for their increased size. A child who has outgrown available childrestraint systems should use the belts provided in the vehicle. When seated in the rear outboard seats, the child should be restrained by the lap/shoulder belt. If the shoulder belt portion slightly touches the child’s neck or face, try placing the child closer to the center of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still touches their face or neck they may need to be returned to a child restraint system. In addition, aftermarket devices are available from independent manufacturers which help pull the shoulder belt down and away from the child’s face or neck. Larger children should use one of the seat belts provided. WARNING - Shoulder belts on small children • Never allow a shoulder belt to be in contact with a child’s neck or face while the vehicle is in motion. • If safety belts are not properly worn and adjusted, there is a risk of death or serious injury to a child. Knowing your vehicle Child restraint system (if equipped) For small children and babies, the use of a child seat or infant seat is required by law. This child seat or infant seat should be of appropriate size for the child and should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. It is strongly recommended that the seat be placed in the vehicle's rear seat since this can make an important contribution to safety. Children riding in the car should sit on the rear seat and must always be properly restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat. You are required by law to use safety restraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicle you must put them in a child restraint system (safety seat). Children could be injured or killed in a crash if their restraints are not properly secured. For small children and babies, a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits your car and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the instructions provided by the manufacturer when installing the child restraint system. ADAIRBAG WARNING • A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Never install a child or infant seat on the front passenger's seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger air bag to deploy, it could severely injure or kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat.Thus, only use a child restraint in the rear seat of your vehicle. (Continued) 3 43 Knowing your vehicle (Continued) • Since a safety belt or child restraint system can become very hot if it is left in a closed vehicle, be sure to check the seat cover and buckles before placing a child there. • When the child restraint system is not in use, store it in the trunk or fasten it with a safety belt or LATCH system so that it will not be thrown forward in the case of a sudden stop or an accident. • Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should sit in the rear seat and be restrained with the available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. (Continued) 3 44 (Continued) • Always make sure that the shoulder belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt is positioned midway over the shoulder, never across the neck or behind the back. The lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt must always be positioned as low as possible on the child's hips and as snug as possible. • If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, an approved booster seat in the rear seat must be used in order to raise the child's seating height so that the seat belt will properly fit the child. (Continued) (Continued) • Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat. • Never use an infant carrier or child safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it may not provide adequate security in an accident. • Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they are in a moving vehicle, as this could result in serious injury to the child in the event of an accident or a sudden stop. Holding a child in a moving vehicle does not provide the child with any means of protection during an accident, even if the person holding the child is wearing a seat belt. Knowing your vehicle Installing a child restraint system For safety reasons, we recommend that the child restraint system be used in the rear seats. Never place a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger seat, because of the danger that an inflating passenger side air bag could impact the rear-facing child restraint and kill the child. Since all passenger’s (except driver’s) safety belts move freely under normal conditions and only lock under extreme or emergency conditions (emergency lock mode), you must manually change these safety belts to the auto lock mode to secure a child restraint. ✽ NOTICE WARNING • Before installing the child restraint system, read the instructions supplied by the child restraint system manufacturer. • If the seat belt does not operate as described, have the system checked immediately by your authorized Kia dealer. • Failure to observe this manual instructions regarding child restraint system and the instructions provided with the child restraint system could increase the chance and/or severity of injury in an accident. WARNING • Do not install any child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger air bag to deploy, it could severely injure or kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Therefore, only use a child restraint system in the rear seat of your vehicle. • If the child restraint seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly increases. The driver’s safety belt incorporates the emergency lock mode only. 3 45 Knowing your vehicle Placing a passenger safety belt into the auto lock mode The use of the auto lock mode will ensure that the normal movement of the child in the vehicle does not cause the safety belt to be pulled out and loosen the firmness of its hold on the child restraint system. To secure a child restraint system, use the following procedure. E2MS103005 Installing a child restraint system by lap/shoulder belt To install a child restraint system on the outboard or center rear seats, do the following: 1. Place the child restraint system in the seat and route the lap/shoulder belt around or through the restraint, following the restraint manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure the safety belt webbing is not twisted. 3 46 E2BLD310 2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into the buckle. Listen for the distinct “click” sound. Position the release button so that it is easy to access in case of an emergency. Knowing your vehicle "Click" MMSA3028 MMSA3029 MMSA3030 3. Pull the shoulder portion of the safety belt all the way out. When the shoulder portion of the safety belt is fully extended, it will shift the retractor to the “Auto Lock” (child restraint) mode. 4. Slowly allow the shoulder portion of the safety belt to retract and listen for an audible “clicking” or “ratcheting” sound. This indicates that the retractor is in the “Auto Lock” mode. If no distinct sound is heard, repeat steps 3 and 4. 5. Remove as much slack from the belt as possible by pushing down on the child restraint system while feeding the shoulder belt back into the retractor. 6. Push and pull on the child restraint system to confirm that the safety belt is holding it firmly in place. If it is not, release the safety belt and repeat steps 2 through 6. 7. Double check that the retractor is in the “Auto Lock” mode by attempting to pull more of the safety belt out of the retractor. If you cannot, the retractor is in the “Auto Lock” mode. To remove the child restraint, press the release button on the buckle and then pull the lap/shoulder belt out of the restraint and allow the safety belt to retract fully. 3 47 Knowing your vehicle WARNING - Auto lock mode The lap/shoulder belt automatically returns to the “emergency lock mode” whenever the belt is allowed to retract fully. Therefore, the preceding seven steps must be followed each time a child restraint is installed. If the safety belt is not placed in the “auto lock” mode, severe injury or death could occur to the child and/or other occupants in the vehicle in a collision, since the child restraint will not be effectively held in place. ✽ NOTICE When the safety belt is allowed to retract to its fully stowed position, the retractor will automatically switch from the “Auto Lock” mode to the emergency lock mode for normal adult usage. 3 48 6GHA2025 OGH036330N Securing a child restraint seat with “Tether Anchor” system Child restraint hook holders are located on the shelf behind the rear seats. 1. Open the tether anchor cover on the shelf behind the rear seats. 2. Route the child restraint seat strap over the seatback. For vehicles with adjustable headrest, route the tether strap under the headrest and between the headrest posts, otherwise route the tether strap over the top of the seatback. 3. Connect the tether strap hook to the correct child restraint hook holder and tighten to secure the seat. Knowing your vehicle WARNING - Tether strap If the tether strap is secured incorrectly, the child restraint seat may not be restrained properly in the event of a collision. Do not mount more than one child restraint seat to a tether anchorage, since the anchorage can then fail in a collision. WARNING - Child restraint Check that the child restraint system is secure by pushing and pulling it in different directions. Incorrectly fitted child restraints may swing, twist, tip or come away causing death or injury. WARNING - Child restraint anchorage • Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle. • The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct tether anchor. 2GHN2025A Child seat lower anchors Some child seat manufacturers make child restraint seats that are labeled as LATCH or LATCH compatible. LATCH stands for “Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children”. These seats include two rigid or webbing mounted attachments that connect to two lower anchors and a tether anchors at specific seating positions in your vehicle. This type of child restraint seat eliminates the need to use seat belts to attach the child seat in the rear seats. 3 49 Knowing your vehicle 6GHA2127 2GHA2127/SBGQ03102 There is a child restraint symbol located on the lower portion of each side of the rear seatbacks. These symbols indicate the position of the lower anchors for child restraints so equipped. LATCH anchors have been provided in your vehicle. The LATCH anchors are located in the left and right outboard rear seating positions. Their locations are shown in the illustration. There is no LATCH anchor provided for the center rear seating position. The LATCH anchors are located between the seatback and the seat cushion of the rear seat left and right outboard seating positions. 3 50 Follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions to properly install child restraint seats with LATCH or LATCHcompatible attachments. Once you have installed the LATCH child restraint, assure that the seat is properly attached to the LATCH and tether anchors. Also, test the child restraint seat before you place the child in it. Tilt the seat from side to side. Also try to tug the seat forward. Check to see if the anchors hold the seat in place. Knowing your vehicle WARNING When using the vehicle’s “LATCH” system to install a child restraint system in the rear seat, all unused vehicle rear seat belt metal latch plates or tabs must be latched securely in their seat belt buckles and the seat belt webbing must be retracted behind the child restraint to prevent the child from reaching and taking hold of unretracted seat belts. Unlatched metal latch plates or tabs may allow the child to reach the unretracted seat belts which may result in strangulation and a serious injury or death to the child in the child restraint. WARNING If the child restraint is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly increases. WARNING • Do not mount more than one child restraint to a single tether or to a child restraint lower anchorage point. The improper increased load may cause the anchorage points or tether anchor to break, causing serious injury or death. • Do not install a child restraint seat at the rear center seating position using the vehicle’s LATCH anchors. The LATCH anchors are only provided for the left and right outboard rear seating positions. Do not misuse the LATCH anchors by attempting to attach a child restraint seat in the middle rear seating position to the LATCH anchors. In a crash, the child restraint seat LATCH attachments may not be strong enough to secure the child restraint seat improperly in the rear center seating position and may break, causing serious injury or death. (Continued) (Continued) • Attach the LATCH or LATCH-compatible child restraint seat only to the appropriate locations shown in the illustration. • Always follow the installation and use instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child restraint. 3 51 Knowing your vehicle AIR BAG - ADVANCED SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM ➈ Occupant classification system ➇ Front seat position ➆ SRS control module sensor ➄ Front impact ➅ Side impact sensor sensor ➀ Driver’s air bag ➁ Front passenger’s ➂ Side air bag ➃ Curtain Air bag air bag OGH026020N/OGH026021/OGH026257/1GHA2126/1GHA2127/2GHA2125/OGH026024/2GHA2128/OGH026023/1LDN2167/5GHN3001 3 52 Knowing your vehicle What your air bag system does Driver’s air bag and front passenger’s air bag are designed to supplement the protection offered by the safety belt in certain frontal collisions. Likewise, side air bag and curtain air bags are designed to supplement the protection offered by the safety belt in side collisions. Safety belts are designed to reduce the injury of the driver or passengers in case of impact or collision. No safety belt or air bag system can completely eliminate injuries that may be caused in collisions or impacts. To help reduce impact on driver or passengers in any collision, safety belts must be correctly worn. What your air bag system does not do The importance of using safety belts The air bag system is designed to supplement the protection offered by the safety belt system. IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE SAFETY BELT. There are four very important reasons to use safety belts even with an air bag supplemental restraint system. They: • help keep you in the proper position (away from the air bag) when it inflates. • reduce the risk of harm in rollover, side impact (vehicles not equipped with side and curtain air bags) or rear impact collisions, because an air bag is not designed to inflate in such situations and even a side curtain air bag is designed to inflate only in certain side impact collisions. • reduce the risk of harm in frontal or side collisions which are not severe enough to actuate the air bag supplemental restraint system. • reduce the risk of being ejected from your vehicle. 3 53 Knowing your vehicle ✽ NOTICE Your vehicle’s Supplemental Restraint System Control Module is equipped with a recording device that may record the use or status of the safety belt restraint system by the driver and front passenger in certain collisions. 3 54 WARNING - Air bags & safety belts • Even in vehicles with air bags, you and your passengers must always wear the safety belts provided in order to minimize the risk and severity of injury in the event of a collision or rollover. • Always wear your safety belt. It can help keep you away from the air bags during heavy braking just before a collision. • If occupants are not wearing safety belts or correctly seated, they cannot be protected, and thus face serious injury or death. (Continued) (Continued) • Driver’s and front passenger’s air bags are designed to inflate only in certain frontal collision, and side and curtain air bags are designed to inflate in certain side impacts. Frontal air bags will generally not provide protection in side impacts (vehicles not equipped with side and curtain air bags) or rear impacts, rollovers, less severe frontal collisions. They will not provide protection from later impacts in a multiimpact collision. (Continued) Knowing your vehicle (Continued) • If your vehicle has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle, etc.) or if your vehicle has become flood damaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or put the key in the ignition before disconnecting the battery. Disregarding this precaution may cause air bag deployment, which could result in serious personal injury or death. If your vehicle is subjected to flooded conditions, before starting the vehicle, have the vehicle towed to an authorized Kia dealer for inspection and necessary repairs. Air bag system components • The SRS air bag consists of the following components; 1. Driver's air bag module 2. Passenger's air bag module 3. Side air bag module 4. Curtain air bag module 5. Front impact sensors 6. Side impact sensors 7. SRS air bag control module 8. Driver's seat position sensor 9. Occupant Classification System (Front passenger's seat only) 10. "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator (Front passenger's seat only) 11. Driver's and front passenger's safety belt buckle sensors 12. Retractor Pre-tensioner Assemblies 13. SRS "AIR BAG" warning light • A diagnostic system that continually monitors the system operation. • An indicator light to warn you of a possible problem with the system. • Emergency power backup in case your car’s electrical system is disconnected in a crash. The SRS uses a collection of sensors to gather information about the driver’s seat position, the driver’s and front passenger’s safety belt usage and impact severity. The driver’s seat position sensor, which is installed on the seat track, determines if the seat is fore or aft of a reference position. Similarly, the safety belt usage sensors determine if the driver and front passenger’s safety belts are fastened. These sensors provide the ability to control the SRS deployment based on how close the driver’s seat is to the steering wheel, how close the passenger’s seat is to the instrument panel, whether or not the safety belts are fastened, and the severity of the impact. 3 55 Knowing your vehicle The advanced SRS offers the ability to control the air bag inflation with two levels. A first stage level is provided for moderate-severity impacts. A second stage level is provided for more severe impacts. According to the impact severity, seating position (only driver) and safety belt usage, the SRSCM (SRS Control Module) controls the air bag inflation. Failure to properly wear safety belts can increase the risk or severity of injury in an accident. Additionally, your SRS is equipped with an occupant classification system in the front passenger’s seat. The occupant classification system detects the presence of a passenger in the front passenger’s seat and will turn off the front passenger’s air bag under certain conditions. For more detail, see “Occupant Classification System” later in this section. 3 56 CAUTION If the seat position sensor is not working properly, the SRS air bag AIR warning light ( BAG ) on the instrument panel will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS air bag system, because the SRS air bag warning light is connected with the seat position sensor. If the SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, if it remains illuminated after blinking for approximately 6 seconds, or if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, have an authorized Kia dealer inspect the seat position sensor and the advanced SRS air bag system as soon as possible. WARNING • Modification to the seat structure can adversely affect the seat position sensor and cause the air bag to deploy at a different level than should be provided. • Failure to properly wear safety belts can increase the risk or severity of injury by causing the air bags to deploy at a different level than should be provided. • Do not place any objects underneath the driver’s seats which could damage the seat position sensor. • Do not place any objects that may cause magnetic fields near the front seat. These may cause a malfunction of the seat position sensor. Knowing your vehicle WARNING WARNING • Ignoring the SRS indicator light (air bag indicator and passenger air bag off indicator) can result in serious or fatal injury if the air bags occupant classification system or pretensioners do not work properly. Have your car checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS warning light alerts you to a potential problem. • Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious or fatal injury in a crash. All occupants should sit upright in their seats with their feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked and the ignition key is removed. OGH026021 HLZ206 Driver’s air bag The driver’s air bag is stored in the center of the steering wheel. • You must always sit as far back from the steering wheel air bag as possible (chest at least 250 mm (10 inches) away from the steering wheel), while still maintaining a comfortable seating position for good vehicle control, in order to reduce the risk of injury or death in a collision. • Never place objects over the air bag storage compartments or between the air bags and yourself. Due to the speed and force of the air bag inflation, such objects could hit your body at high speed and cause severe bodily injury and even death. • Do not put stickers or ornaments on the steering wheel cover. These may interfere with the deployment of the air bag. 3 57 Knowing your vehicle 0GH026257 5GHN3001 HLZ2121 Front passenger’s air bag Front passenger’s air bag is stored in the instrument panel on the glove box. Since you cannot know which air bags will deploy or from what direction, never put any objects or ornaments on the instrument panel. 3 58 Occupant classification system The occupant classification system detects the presence of a passenger in the front passenger's seat and will turn off the front passenger's air bag under certain conditions. The occupant classification system is designed to detect the presence of a properly-seated occupant and determine if the front passenger's air bag should be enabled (may inflate) or not. Main components of occupant classification system • A detection device located within the front passenger seat cushion. • Electronic system to determine whether passenger air bag systems (both front passenger’s front and side air bag only) should be activated or deactivated. • A warning light located on the instrument panel which illuminates the words "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" passenger air bag system is deactivated. • The instrument panel air bag warning light is interconnected with the occupant classification system. Knowing your vehicle The location of OCS warning indicator OGH036367N If there is no passenger in the front passenger seat or if the passenger in the front passenger's seat is very small, (such as a child), the front PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator may go ON. When this indicator is ON, the front passenger's air bag will not deploy. The front passenger’s side air bag will not deploy if the front seat is unoccupied. The front passenger’s side air bag may deploy if the front seat is occupied by a small occupant. Always be sure that you and all vehicle occupants are seated and restrained properly (sitting upright with the seat in an upright position, centered on the seat cushion, with the person's legs comfortably extended, feet on the floor, and wearing the safety belt properly) for the most effective protection by the air bag and the safety belt. • The OCS may not function properly if the passenger takes actions which can defeat the detection system. These include: (1) Failing to sit in an upright position. (2) Leaning against the door or center console. (3) Sitting towards the sides or the front of the seat. (4) Putting legs on the dashboard or resting them on other locations which reduce the passenger weight on the front seat. (5) Improperly wearing the safety belt. (6) Reclining the seat back. • The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator illuminates after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started. If the front passenger seat is unoccupied or is occupied by very small person, or is occupied by someone who is improperly seated, the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator will remain illuminated. If the front passenger seat is occupied by someone of adult size and body shape, the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator will turn off after 6 seconds. • If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator illuminates, the front passenger's air bag will not deploy. The front passenger’s side air bag will not deploy if the front seat is unoccupied. The front passenger’s side air bag may deploy if the front seat is occupied by a small occupant. • If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator is not illuminated, the front passenger front air bag and front passenger side air bag may deploy in either a side or frontal collision. 3 59 Knowing your vehicle Condition and operation in the front passenger occupant classification system Condition detected by the occupant classification system Indicator/Warning light CAUTION Device "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator light AIR BAG warning light Front passenger front air bag 1. Adult *1 Off Off Activated 2. Child* or child restraint system On Off Deactivated 3. Unoccupied On Off Deactivated 2 * The system detects a person who is generally adult size as an adult, thus allowing the passenger air bag to deploy. When a smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may detect their body shape as that of a child, thus preventing air bag deployment. *2 When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as an adult depending on his/her body shape or seating position, thus permitting air bag deployment. 1 CAUTION If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator illuminates or blinks continuously when a person of adult size sits in the front passenger's seat, it could be because that person isn't sitting properly in the seat. If this happens, turn the vehicle off, make sure the seat back is not reclined, have the passenger center on the seat cushion, with legs comfortably extended, and the safety belt properly positioned. Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position long enough to allow the system to detect the person and activate the passenger air bag. 3 60 If the occupant classification system is not working properly, the air AIR bag warning light ( BAG ) on the instrument panel will illuminate because the passenger’s air bag is connected with the occupant classification system. If there is a malfunction of the occupant classification system, the "Passenger Air bag Off" indicator will not illuminate and the front passenger's air bag will deploy in frontal crashes even if there is child or no occupant in the front passenger's seat. Have an authorized Kia dealer inspect the occupant classification system with the SRS air bag system as soon as possible if any of following occur; • The SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to "ON" position. (Continued) Knowing your vehicle (Continued) • The SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated after illuminating or blinking for approximately 6 seconds. • The SRS air bag warning light illuminates while the vehicle is being driven. WARNING • Even though your vehicle is equipped with the occupant classification system, do not install a child restraint system in the front passenger seat. The child could be severely injured or killed if the air bag deploys. Children are afforded the most protection in the event of an accident when they are restrained by the proper restraint system in the rear seat. (Continued) (Continued) • If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator is illuminated when the front passenger's seat is occupied by a person of adult size who is seated properly, or if the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator" is not illuminated when the front passenger's seat is unoccupied or occupied by a very small person, the occupant classification system is not working properly. Have your vehicle immediately inspected by your Kia dealer if the occupant classification system is not working properly. (Continued) (Continued) • If a low weight adult is seated in the front passenger seat, the occupant classification system may or may not turn off the right front passenger air bag, depending upon the person's seating position and body type. Everyone in your vehicle should wear a safety belt properly -- whether or not there is an air bag for that person. • If the front seat passenger changes their seating position (for example, by not sitting upright, by sitting on the edge of the seat, or by otherwise being out of position), the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator may be turned on, and the passenger air bag may not deploy in a collision. Always be sure to sit properly in the front passenger seat and wear the safety belt properly and do not do any of the following. (Continued) 3 61 Knowing your vehicle (Continued) 1KMN3661 1KMN3663 1KMN3665 - Never put a heavy load in the front passenger seat. - Never sit with hips shifted towards the front of the seat. - Never place feet on the dashboard. 1KMN3662 1KMN3664 1KMN3666 - Never excessively recline the front passenger seatback. - Never lean on the center console. - Never sit on one side of the front passenger seat. - Always sit in a proper seating position. 3 62 (Continued) Knowing your vehicle (Continued) • Do not modify or replace the front passenger seat. This will disable the OCS unless a proper Kia replacement seat is used. • Do not place sharp objects on the front passenger seat. These can damage the occupant classification system, if they puncture the seat cushion. • Do not install accessory seat covers on the front seats, since these will interfere with proper sensor operation. ✽ NOTICE • If luggage or other objects are placed on the front passenger's seat or if the temperature of the seat changes while the seat is unoccupied, the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator may blink. These conditions do not indicate a problem. • Do not put heavy objects on the front passenger's seat. This may cause front passenger air bag deployment in the event of an accident, thus increasing your repair costs. WARNING • The front seat passenger air bag is much larger than the steering wheel air bag and inflates with considerably more force. It can seriously hurt or kill a passenger who is not in the proper position and wearing the safety belt properly. The front passengers should always move their seats as far back as practical and sit back in their seats. • It is essential that the front passenger always wears their safety belts, even when the vehicle is moving in a parking lot or up a driveway into garage. • If the driver brakes the vehicle heavily prior to an impact, unbelted occupants will be thrown forward. If the front passenger is not wearing a safety belt, he/she will be directly in front of the storage compartment when deployment occurs. In that situation, serious injury or death is possible. (Continued) 3 63 Knowing your vehicle (Continued) • Never allow front passenger to put their hands, feet or face on or close to the instrument panel. In the event of air bag deployment, such a mispositioned occupant would be likely to suffer severe injury or death. • Never allow children, pregnant women or frail persons to sit in the front passenger seat. Do not put child restraint system on the front passenger's seat either. They may be seriously injured by the air bag inflation when air bag deploys. • Do not put objects or stickers on the instrument panel. Do not apply any accessory to the front windshield. Do not install aftermarket mirrors or accessories on the factory-installed rearview mirror. Any of these could interfere with the deployment of the air bag or could hit your body at high speed and cause severe bodily injury and even death. 3 64 WARNING 1GHA2126/1GHA2127 2GHA2125B Side air bag Side air bags are stored in the left side of the driver’s seat, right side of the front passenger’s seat and left and right sides of the rear seats. Side air bags are designed to deploy only during certain side impact collisions depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact. The side air bags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations. • Do not use any accessory seat covers for the vehicle equipped with side air bags. Use of seat covers could interfere with side air bag deployment. If seat or seat cover is damaged, have the vehicle checked and repaired by an authorized Kia dealer. Inform them that your vehicle is equipped with side air bags and an occupant detection system. • Do not make modifications or additions to the seats. If inappropriate seats are used, unexpected injury may result in due to the malfunction of the air bag system. Knowing your vehicle 2GHA2125 • The curtain air bag deployment occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact. • The side air bags (side and curtain air bags) are not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the vehicle or in most rollover situations. • The curtain air bags are designed to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact. The curtain air bags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations. WARNING 2GHA2125A Curtain air bag Curtain air bags are located along both sides of the roof rails above the front and rear doors. It is designed to help protect the heads of the front seat occupants and the rear outboard seat occupants in certain side impact collisions. • In order for side air bags (side and curtain air bags) to provide best protection, both front seat occupants and both outboard rear occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belts properly fastened. Importantly, children should sit in a proper child restraint system in the rear seat. (Continued) (Continued) • When children are seated in the rear outboard seats, they must be seated in the proper child restraint system. Make sure to put the child restraint system as far away from the door side as possible, and securely lock the child restraint system in position. • Do not allow the passengers to lean their heads or bodies onto doors, put their arms on the doors, stretch their arms out of the window, or place objects between the doors and passengers when they are seated on seats equipped with side air bags. • Never try to open or repair any components of the side curtain air bag system. This should only be done by an authorized Kia dealer. Failure to follow the above mentioned instructions can result in injury or death to the vehicle occupants in an accident. 3 65 Knowing your vehicle Why didn’t my air bag go off in a collision? (Inflation and non-inflation conditions of the air bag) There are many types of accidents in which the air bag would not be expected to provide additional protection. These include rear impacts, second or third collisions in multiple impact accidents, as well as low speed impacts. In other words, just because your vehicle is damaged and even if it is totally unusable, don’t be surprised that the air bags did not inflate. ➀ ➁ ➂ OGH026025/OGH026023/OGH026024/1GHA2128 Air bag collision sensors ➀ SRS control module ➁ Front impact sensor 3 66 ➂ Side impact sensor Knowing your vehicle WARNING • Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where air bag or sensors are installed. This may cause unexpected air bag deployment, which could result in serious personal injury or death. • If the installation location or angle of the sensors is altered in any way, the air bags may deploy when they should not or they may not deploy when they should, causing severe injury or death. Therefore, do not try to perform maintenance on or around the air bag sensors. Have the vehicle checked and repaired by an authorized Kia dealer. (Continued) (Continued) • Problems may arise if the sensor installation angles are changed due to the deformation of front bumper, body or B pillar where side collision sensors are installed. Have the vehicle checked and repaired by an authorized Kia dealer. • Your vehicle has been designed to absorb impact and deploy the air bag(s) in certain collisions. Installing aftermarket bumper guards or replacing a bumper with non-genuine parts may adversely affect your vehicles collision and air bag deployment performance. 1GHA2271 Air bag inflation condition Front air bag Front air bags (driver’s and front passenger’s air bags) are designed to inflate when the impact is delivered to front collision sensors depending on the intensity, speed or angles of impact of the front collision. 3 67 Knowing your vehicle AIR19B 2GHA2125A Side air bag (if equipped) Side air bags (side and/or curtain air bags) are designed to inflate when an impact is detected by side collision sensors depending on the strength, speed or angles of impact, collision or rollover. 3 68 Although the front air bags (driver’s and front passenger’s air bags) are designed to inflate only in frontal collision, it may inflate in any collision if front impact sensors detect a sufficient impact. Side air bags (side and/or curtain air bags) are designed to inflate only in side impact collision, it may inflate in any collision if side impact sensors detect a sufficient impact. If the vehicle chassis is impacted by bumps or objects on unimproved roads or sidewalks, air bags may deploy. Drive carefully on unimproved roads or on surfaces not designed for vehicle traffic to prevent unintended air bag deployment. To protect occupants, front air bags or pre-tensioner seat belts may deploy in certain side impact collisions. 1GHA2272 Air bag non-inflation conditions • In certain low-speed collisions the air bags may not deploy. The air bags are designed not to deploy in such cases because the risk of injuries which can be caused by the air bags exceeds the benefits they provide in protecting occupants. Knowing your vehicle 1GHA2273 AIR19A 1GHA2270 • Frontal air bags are not designed to inflate in rear collisions, because occupants are moved backward by the force of the impact. In this case, the air bags do not provide proper protection. • Front air bags may not inflate in side impact collision, because occupants move to the direction of the collision, and thus in side impacts, frontal air bag deployment does not provide occupant protection. However, side or curtain air bags may inflate depending on the intensity, vehicle speed and angles of impact. • In a slant or angled collision, the force of impact may direct the occupants in a direction between the front and side air bags, and thus the sensors may not deploy any air bags. 3 69 Knowing your vehicle 1GHA2274 AIR21 1GHA2275 • Just before impact, drivers often brake heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the front portion of the vehicle causing it to “ride” under a vehicle with a higher ground clearance. Air bags may not inflate in this "under-ride" situation because deceleration forces that are detected by sensors may be significantly altered by such “under-ride” collisions. • Air bags may not inflate in rollover accidents because air bag deployment would not provide proper protection to the occupants. However, side air bags may inflate when the vehicle is rolled over by a side impact collision, if the vehicle is equipped with side air bags and curtain air bags. • Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle collides with objects such as utility poles or trees, where the point of impact is concentrated to one area and the full force of the impact is not adequately delivered to the sensors. 3 70 Knowing your vehicle How does the air bag system operate • Air bag only operates when the ignition switch is turned to the ON or START positions. • Air bags inflate instantly in the event of serious frontal or side collision (if equipped with side air bag or curtain air bag) in order to help protect the occupants from serious physical injury. • There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate. Generally, air bags are designed to inflate by the severity of a collision and its direction. These two factors determine whether the sensors send out an electronic deployment/inflation signal. • Air bag deployment depends on a number of factors including vehicle speed, angles of impact and the density and stiffness of the vehicles or objects which your vehicle hits in the collision. However, factors are not limited to those mentioned above. • The front air bags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant. It is virtually impossible for you to see the air bags inflate during an accident. It is much more likely that you will simply see the deflated air bags hanging out of their storage compartments after the collision. • In order to help provide protection in a severe collision, the air bags must inflate rapidly. The speed of air bag inflation is a consequence of the extremely short time in which a collision occurs and the need to get the air bag between the occupant and the vehicle structures before the occupant impacts those structures. This speed of inflation reduces the risk of serious or lifethreatening injuries in a severe collision and is thus a necessary part of air bag design. However, air bag inflation can also cause injuries which normally can include facial abrasions, bruises and broken bones, and sometimes more serious injuries because that inflation speed also causes the air bags to expand with a great deal force. • There are even circumstances under which contact with the steering wheel air bag can cause fatal injuries, especially if the occupant is positioned excessively close to the steering wheel. 3 71 Knowing your vehicle WARNING - Seated positioning • Driver should sit as far back (at least 250 mm (10 inches)) away from the steering wheel air bag as possible to reduce the risk of injury or death in a collision. The front passenger should always move their seat as far back as possible and sit back in their seat. • In the event of a collision the air bags inflate instantly. Passengers may be injured by the air bag expansion force if they are not in proper position. • Air bag inflation may cause injuries which normally include facial or bodily abrasions, injuries by the broken glasses or burns by the explosives. 3 72 Noise and smoke When the air bags inflate, they make a loud noise and they leave smoke and powder in the air inside of the vehicle. This is normal and is a result of the ignition of the air bag inflator. After the air bag inflates, you may feel substantial discomfort in breathing due to the contact of your chest to both the safety belt and the air bag, as well as from breathing the smoke and powder. We strongly urge you to open your doors and/or windows as soon as possible after impact in order to reduce discomfort and prevent prolonged exposure to the smoke and powder. Though smoke and powder are nontoxic, it may cause irritation to the skin (eyes, nose and throat, etc). If this is the case, wash and rinse with the cold water immediately and consult the doctor if the symptom persists. WARNING When the air bags deploy, the air bag related parts in steering wheel and/or instrument panel and/or in both sides of the roof rails above the front and rear doors are very hot. To prevent injury, do not touch the air bag storage areas internal components immediately after an air bag has inflated. Knowing your vehicle WARNING ADAIRBAG Installing a child restraint on a front passenger’s seat is forbidden. Never place a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If the air bag deploys, it would impact the rear-facing child restraint, causing serious or fatal injury. In addition, do not place front-facing child restraint in the front passenger’s seat either. If the front passenger air bag inflates, it would cause serious or fatal injuries to the improperly positioned or improperly restrained child. • Never put child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If the front passenger air bag inflates, it would cause serious or fatal injuries. • When children are seated in the rear outboard seats in which side air bags are equipped, be sure to put the child restraint system as far away from the door side as possible, and securely lock the child restraint system in position. Inflation of side or curtain air bag could cause serious injury or death due to the expansion impact. AIR BAG Air bag warning light The purpose of the air bag warning light in your instrument panel is to alert you of a potential problem with your air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). When the ignition switch is turned ON, the indicator light should blink or illuminate for approximately 6 seconds, then go off. Have the system checked if: • The light does not turn on briefly when you turn the ignition ON. • The light stays on after the engine starts. • The light comes on while the vehicle is in motion. 3 73 Knowing your vehicle Air bag (Supplemental Restraint System) service Your Supplemental Restraint System is virtually maintenance-free. There are no parts which you can service. You must have the system serviced under the following circumstances: • If an air bag ever inflates, the air bag must be replaced. Do not try to remove or discard the air bag by yourself. This must be done by an authorized Kia dealer. • If the air bag warning indicator light alerts you to a problem, have the air bag system checked as soon as possible. Otherwise, your air bag system may be ineffective. CAUTION - No modification Do not modify any part of the air bag system. Modification could make the air bag system ineffective or could cause unnecessary deployment. 3 74 WARNING - No maintenance or repair • Do not modify your steering wheel, seat or any other part of the Supplemental Restraint System. Modification could make the system inoperable. • Do not work on the system’s components or wiring. This could cause the air bags to inflate inadvertently, possibly seriously injuring someone. Working on the system could also disable the system so that the air bags would not deploy in a collision. • Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steering wheel must be performed by a qualified Kia technician. Improper handling of the air bag system may result in serious personal injury or death. When repairing or scrapping the vehicles • Repairing steering wheel, instrument panel, center console or roofs, or installing car audio around center console or painting front metal sheet could disable the air bag system.

WARNING To avoid injury from sharp objects, wear protective gloves when opening the fuel filler door manually. 3 81 Knowing your vehicle WARNING Automotive fuels are flammable/ explosive materials. When refueling, please note the following guidelines carefully. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in severe personal injury, severe burns or death by fire or explosion. • Before refueling always note the location of the Emergency Gasoline Shut-Off, if available, at the gas station facility. Note and follow all safety precautions and warning posted at the facility. • Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel filler cap, you should eliminate potentially dangerous static electricity discharge by touching another metal part of the front of the vehicle, a safe distance away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other gas source. (Continued) 3 82 (Continued) • Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refueling. Do not touch, rub or slide against any item or fabric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.) capable of producing static electricity. Static electricity discharge can ignite fuel vapors resulting in explosion. If you must re-enter the vehicle, you should once again eliminate potentially dangerous static electricity discharge by touching a metal part of the vehicle, away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle or other gasoline source. • When using a portable fuel container be sure to place the container on the ground prior to refueling. Static electricity discharge from the container can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. Once refueling has begun, contact with the vehicle should be maintained until the filling is complete. Use only portable fuel containers designed to carry and store gasoline. (Continued) (Continued) • Do not use cellular phones around a gas station or while refueling any vehicle. Electric current and/or electronic interference from cellular phones can potentially ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. If you must use your cellular phone use it in a place away from the gas station. • When refueling always shut the engine off. Sparks produced by electrical components related to the engine can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. Always insure that the engine is OFF before and during refueling. Once refueling is complete, check to make sure the fuel filler cap and door are securely closed, before starting the engine. (Continued) Knowing your vehicle (Continued) • Do not light any fire around a gas station. DO NOT use matches or a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit cigarette in your vehicle while at a gas station especially during refueling. Automotive fuel is highly flammable and can, when ignited, result in explosion by flames. • If a fire breaks out during refueling, leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and immediately contact the manager of the gas station or contact the police and local fire department. Follow any safety instructions they provide. CAUTION • Make sure to refuel with gasoline (unleaded fuel) only for the gasoline engine vehicles. • Check to make sure the fuel filler cap is securely closed after refueling. • If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a genuine Kia cap or the equivalent specified for your vehicle. An incorrect fuel filler cap can result in a serious malfunction of the fuel system or emission control system. Correct replacement caps are available at authorized Kia dealers. • Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of fuel spilled on painted surfaces may damage the paint. • A loose fuel filler cap may cause the “Check Engine” (Malfunction Indicator) light in the instrument panel to illuminate unnecessarily. • If the fuel filler lid will not open in cold weather because the area around it is frozen, push or lightly tap the lid. OGH026010 When fuel filler lid does not open with the release button 1. Open the trunk. 2. Pull the emergency hook for fuel filler lid inside the trunk. 3 83 Knowing your vehicle MIRRORS Outside rearview mirror Be sure to adjust mirror angles before driving. ➀ CAUTION WARNING • The right outside rearview mirror is convex.

RADIO(FM1➝FM2➝AM)➝TAPE*➝ CD ➝ CDC* * : if equipped 3 99 Knowing your vehicle AUDIO SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) FM reception AM reception FM radio station ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢¢ JBM001 How car audio works AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from transmitter towers located around your city. They are intercepted by the radio antenna on your car. This signal is then received by the radio and sent to your car speakers. When a strong radio signal has reached your vehicle, the precise engineering of your audio system ensures the best possible quality reproduction. However, in some cases the signal coming to your vehicle may not be strong and clear. This can be due to factors such as the distance from the radio station, closeness of other strong radio stations or the presence of buildings, bridges or other large obstructions in the area. 3 100 ¢ ¢¢ JBM002 JBM003 AM broadcasts can be received at greater distances than FM broadcasts. This is because AM radio waves are transmitted at low frequencies. These long, low frequency radio waves can follow the curvature of the earth rather than travelling straight out into the atmosphere. In addition, they curve around obstructions so that they can provide better signal coverage. FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequencies and do not bend to follow the earth's surface. Because of this, FM broadcasts generally begin to fade at short distances from the station. Also, FM signals are easily affected by buildings, mountains, or other obstructions. These can result in certain listening conditions which might lead you to believe a problem exists with your radio. The following conditions are normal and do not indicate radio trouble: Knowing your vehicle Using a cellular phone or a twoway radio When a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, noise may be produced from the audio equipment. This does not mean that something is wrong with the audio equipment. In such a case, use the cellular phone at a place as far as possible from the audio equipment. ¢ ¢¢ CAUTION JBM004 JBM005 • Fading - As your car moves away from the radio station, the signal will weaken and sound will begin to fade. When this occurs, we suggest that you select another stronger station. • Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the transmitter and your radio can disturb the signal causing static or fluttering noises to occur. Reducing the treble level may lessen this effect until the disturbance clears. • Station Swapping - As a FM signal weakens, another more powerful signal near the same frequency may begin to play. This is because your radio is designed to lock onto the clearest signal. If this occurs, select another station with a stronger signal. • Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from several directions can cause distortion or fluttering. This can be caused by a direct and reflected signal from the same station, or by signals from two stations with close frequencies. If this occurs, select another station until the condition has passed. When using a communication system such a cellular phone or a radio set inside the vehicle, a separate external antenna must be fitted. When a cellular phone or a radio set is used with an internal antenna alone, it may interfere with the vehicle's electrical system and adversely affect safe operation of the vehicle. WARNING Don’t use a cellular phone when you are driving. The driver should stop at a safe place to use a cellular phone. 3 101 Knowing your vehicle Care of cassette tapes (if equipped) • Because the thickness of a cassette tape with the total playback time of over 60 minutes (C-60) are too thin, we suggest that you do not use any of them to avoid having tapes being tangled. • To achieve better sound quality, periodically clean the tape head using a cotton stick with colorless alcohol (once per month). • If a tape is too loose, fasten it to reel by winding with objects like a pencil. • Because dust or foreign objects on a cassette tape may damage the playback head, always store tapes in their cases when not in use. • Make sure cassette tapes are kept away from magnetic devices (TV, stereo system, etc) in order to achieve better sound quality. • Be certain that no objects or substances other than cassette tapes are inserted into the cassette tape player. • Because tape media can be distorted when exposed to direct sunlight, Do not leave cassette tapes on the seats, dashboard or near the back windshield. 3 102 Care of disc (if equipped) • If the temperature inside the car is too high, open the car windows for ventilation before using your car audio. • Do not apply volatile agents such as benzene and thinner, normal cleaners and magnetic sprays made for analogue disc onto CDs. • To prevent the disc surface from getting damaged. Hold and carry CDs by the edges or the edges of the center hole only. • Clean the disc surface with a piece of soft cloth before playback (wipe it from the center to the outside edge.) • Do not damage the disc surface or attach pieces of sticky tape or paper onto it. • Make sure on undesirable matter other than CDs are inserted into the CD player (Do not insert more than one CD at a time). • Keep CDs in their cases after use to protect them from scratches or dirt. • Depending on the type of CD-R/CDRW CDs, certain CDs may not operate normally according to manufacturing companies or making and recording methods. In such circumstances, if you still continue to use those CDs, they may cause the malfunction of your car audio system. ✽ NOTICE - Playing an Incompatible Copy-Protected Audio CD Some copy-protected CDs, which do not comply with the international audio CD standards (Red Book), may not play on your car audio.

To return to “D” range operation, push the shift lever back into the automatic mode. In sports mode, moving the shift lever backwards and forwards will allow you to make gearshifts rapidly. In contrast to a manual transaxle, the sports mode allows gearshifts with the accelerator pedal depressed. 4 8 When driving on a slippery road, push the shift lever forward into the +(up) position. This causes the transaxle to shift into the 2nd gear which is better for smooth driving on a slippery road. Push the shift lever to the -(down) side to shift back to the 1st gear. ✽ NOTICE • Upshifts do not take place automatically in sports mode. The driver must execute upshifts in accordance with road conditions, taking care to keep the engine speed below the red zone. • In sports mode, only the five forward gears can be selected. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the shift lever to the “R” or “P” position as required. • In sports mode, downshifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. When the vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically selected. • In sports mode, when the engine rpm approaches the red zone shift points are varied to upshift automatically. • To maintain the required levels of vehicle performance and safety, the system may not execute certain gearshifts when the shift lever is operated. Driving your vehicle Moving up a steep grade from a standing start To move up a steep grade from a standing start, depress the brake pedal, shift the shift lever to D (Drive). Select the appropriate gear depending on load weight and steepness of the grade, and release the parking brake. Depress the accelerator gradually while releasing the service brakes. When accelerating from a stop on a steep hill, the vehicle may have a tendency to roll backwards. Shifting the shift lever into 2 (Second Gear) while in Sport mode will help prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards. Ignition key inter lock system The ignition key cannot be removed unless the shift lever is in the P (Park) position. If the ignition switch is in any other position, the key cannot be removed. Shift lock system For your safety, the Automatic Transaxle has a shift lock system which prevents shifting the transaxle out of P (Park) unless the brake pedal is depressed. To shift the transaxle out of P (Park): 1. Depress and hold the brake pedal. 2. Start the engine or turn the ignition to the ON position. 3. Move the shift lever. If the brake pedal is repeatedly depressed and released with the shift lever in the P (Park) position, a chattering sound near the shift lever may be heard. This is a normal condition. OMG045061 Shift-lock override If the shift lever should fail to move from the P (Park) position with the brake pedal depressed, continue depressing the brake, then do the following: 1. Carefully remove the cap covering the S/Lock override access hole which is located on the right side of the shift lever. 2. Insert the screwdriver or key into the access hole and press down on the key. 3. Depress the lock release button and move the shift lever. 4. Have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealership immediately. 4 9 Driving your vehicle BRAKE SYSTEM Power brakes In the event of brake failure Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes that adjust automatically through normal usage. In the event that the power-assisted brakes lose power because of a stalled engine or some other reason, you can still stop your vehicle by applying greater force to the brake pedal than you normally would. The stopping distance, however, will be longer. When the engine is not running, the reserve brake power is partially depleted each time the brake pedal is applied. Do not pump the brake pedal when the power assist has been interrupted. If service brakes fail to operate while the vehicle is in motion, you can make an emergency stop with the parking brake. The stopping distance, however, will be much greater than normal. 4 10 WARNING - Parking brake Depressing the parking brake while the vehicle is moving at normal speeds can cause a sudden loss of control of the vehicle. If you must use the parking brake to stop the vehicle, use great caution in applying the brake. WARNING - Brakes • Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. This will create abnormal high brake temperatures, excessive brake lining and pad wear, and increased stopping distances. • When descending a long or steep hill, shift to a lower gear and avoid continuous application of the brakes. Continuous brake application will cause the brakes to overheat and could result in a temporary loss of braking performance. (Continued) Driving your vehicle (Continued) • Wet brakes may result in the vehicle not to slow down at the usual rate and make it pull to one side when the brakes are applied. Applying the brakes lightly will indicate whether they have been affected in this way. Always test your brakes in this fashion after driving through deep water. To dry the brakes, apply them lightly while maintaining a safe forward speed until brake performance returns to normal. Disc brakes wear indicator ✽ NOTICE Your vehicle has disc brakes. When your brake pads are worn and it's time for new pads, you will hear a highpitched warning sound from your front brakes or rear brakes. You may hear this sound come and go or it may occur whenever you depress the brake pedal. Please remember that some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake squeal when you first apply (or lightly apply) the brakes. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with your brakes. To avoid costly brake repairs, do not continue to drive with worn brake pads. WARNING - Brake wear This brake wear warning sound means your vehicle needs service. If you ignore this audible warning, you will eventually lose braking performance, which could lead to a serious accident. CAUTION Always replace brake pads as complete front or rear axle sets. 4 11 Driving your vehicle OGH026050N Power adjustable pedals (if equipped) To adjust the position of the accelerator and brake pedals, turn the ignition key to the “ON” position with the selector lever in the "P" position and push the switch. If you push the “▲” portion of the switch, the pedals move rearward. If you push the “▼” portion of the switch, the pedals move forward. 4 12 Setting the driver's position 1. Be sure the parking brake is engaged. 2. Move the accelerator and brake pedals to the front most position by pushing the “▼” portion of the switch. 3. Adjust the seat position and the steering wheel angle properly. 4. Move the pedals toward you until you can fully depress the brake pedal by pushing the “▲” portion of the switch. 5. Depress the pedals a few times to get used to the feel after adjusting. WARNING - Pedal adjustment • Adjust the pedals after parking the vehicle on level ground. Never attempt to adjust the pedals while the vehicle is moving. • Never adjust the pedals with your foot on the accelerator pedal as this may result in increasing the engine speed and acceleration. • Make sure that you can fully depress the brake pedal before driving. Otherwise, you may not be able to hold down the brake pedal firmly in an emergency stop. Driving your vehicle WARNING - Parking brake 1GHA3011 Parking brake To set the parking brake, depress the parking brake pedal fully and firmly downward while applying the service brake. CAUTION Driving with the parking brake applied will cause excessive brake pad and brake rotor wear. 1GHA3012 Manual release To release the parking brake, pull the parking brake release lever while applying the service brake. The pedal will automatically extend to the fully released position. If the parking brake pedal does not release or does not release all the way, have the system checked by an authorized Kia dealer. • To prevent unintentional movement when stopped and leaving the vehicle, do not use the gearshift lever in place of the parking brake. Set the parking brake AND make sure the gearshift lever is securely positioned in P (Park). • Never allow a person who is unfamiliar with the vehicle or children to touch the parking brake. If the parking brake is released unintentionally, serious injury may occur. 4 13 Driving your vehicle If the brake warning light remains on after the parking brake is released, there may be a malfunction in the brake system. Immediate attention is necessary. If at all possible, cease driving the vehicle immediately. If that is not possible, use extreme caution while operating the vehicle and only continue to drive the vehicle until you can reach a safe location or repair shop. W-75 Check the brake warning light by turning the ignition switch ON (do not start the engine). This light will be illuminated when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the START or ON position. Before driving, be sure the parking brake is fully released and the brake warning light is off. 4 14 Parking on curbed streets • When parking your vehicle on an uphill grade, park as close to the curb as possible and turn the front wheels away from the curb so that the front wheels will contact the curb if the vehicle moves backward. • When parking your vehicle on a downhill grade, park as close to the curb as possible and turn the front wheels toward the curb so that the front wheels will contact the curb if the vehicle moves forward. Driving your vehicle Anti-lock brake system (ABS) WARNING - ABS Brakes Your ABS is not a substitute for good driving judgement. You can still have an accident. In fact, your ABS system will probably not be able to prevent an accident in the following driving conditions: • Dangerous driving, such as neglecting safety precautions, speeding, or driving too close to the vehicle in front of you. • Driving at high speed in situations providing considerably less traction, such as wet conditions where hydroplaning could occur. • Driving too fast on poor road surfaces. The ABS is designed to improve maximum braking effectiveness on typical highways and roads in good condition. On poor road surfaces in poor condition, the ABS may actually reduce braking effectiveness. The ABS system continuously senses the speed of the wheels. If the wheels are going 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 from the brakes, or feel a corresponding sensation in the brake pedal. This is normal and it means your ABS system is active. In order to obtain the maximum benefit from your ABS system in an emergency situation, do not attempt to modulate your brake pressure and do not try to pump your brakes. Press your brake pedal as hard as possible or as hard as the situation warrants and allow the ABS system to control the force being delivered to the brakes. • Even with the anti-lock brake system, your vehicle still requires sufficient stopping distance. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. • Always slow down when cornering. The anti-lock brake system cannot prevent accidents resulting from excessive speeds. • On loose or uneven road surfaces, operation of the anti-lock brake system may result in a longer stopping distance than for vehicles equipped with a conventional brake system. 4 15 Driving your vehicle ✽ NOTICE ABS W-78 ✽ NOTICE • If the ABS warning light is on and stays on, you may have a problem with the ABS system. In this case, however, your regular brakes will work normally. • The ABS warning light will stay on for approximately 3 seconds after the ignition switch is ON. During that time, the ABS will go through selfdiagnosis and the light will go off if everything is normal. If the light stays on, you may have a problem with your ABS system. Contact an authorized Kia dealer as soon as possible. 4 16 • When you drive on a road having poor traction, such as an icy road, and operate your brakes continuously, the ABS will be active continuously and the ABS warning light may illuminate. Pull your car over to a safe place and stop the engine. • Restart the engine. If the ABS warning light is off, then your ABS system is normal. Otherwise, you may have a problem with the ABS. Contact an authorized Kia dealer as soon as possible. ✽ NOTICE When you jump start your vehicle because of a drained battery, the engine may not run as smoothly and the ABS warning light may turn on at the same time. This happens because of the low battery voltage. It does not mean your ABS is malfunctioning. • Do not pump your brakes! • Have the battery recharged before driving the vehicle. Driving your vehicle STEERING WHEEL Power steering ✽ NOTICE ✽ NOTICE Power Steering uses energy from the engine to assist you in steering the vehicle. If the engine is off or if the power steering system becomes inoperative, the vehicle may still be steered, but it will require increased steering effort. Should you notice any change in the effort required to steer during normal vehicle operation, have the power steering checked by an Authorized Kia Dealer. • Never hold the steering wheel against a stop (extreme right or left turn) for more than 5 seconds with the engine running. Holding the steering wheel for more than 5 seconds in either position may cause damage to the power steering pump. • If the power steering drive belt breaks or if the power steering pump malfunctions, the steering effort will greatly increase. If the vehicle is parked for extended periods outside in cold weather (below 10 °C/14 °F), the power steering may require increased effort when the engine is first started. This is caused by increased fluid viscosity due to the cold weather and does not indicate a malfunction. When this happens, increase the engine RPM by depressing the accelerator until the RPM reaches 1,500 rpm then release or let the engine idle for two or three minutes to warm up the fluid. 4 17 Driving your vehicle Tilt steering (if equipped) A tilt steering wheel allows you to adjust the steering wheel before you drive.You can also raise it to the highest level to give your legs more room when you exit and enter the vehicle. The steering wheel should be positioned so that it is comfortable for you to drive, while permitting you to see the instrument panel warning lights and gauges. WARNING • Never adjust the angle of steering wheel while driving. You may lose your steering control and cause severe personal injury or accidents. • After adjusting, push the steering wheel both up and down to be certain it is locked in position. 4 18 OGH026028 To change the steering wheel angle, pull up the lock release lever (➀), adjust the steering wheel to the desired angle (➁), then release the lock-release lever to lock the steering wheel in place. Be sure to adjust the steering wheel to the desired position before driving. OGH026030 Horn To sound the horn, press the horn symbol on your steering wheel. Check the horn regularly to be sure it operates properly. CAUTION • To sound the horn, press the area indicated by the horn symbol on your steering wheel (see illustration). The horn will operate only when this area is pressed. • Do not strike the horn severely to operate it, or hit it with your fist. Do not press on the horn with a sharp-pointed object. Driving your vehicle CRUISE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED) The cruise control system allows you to program the vehicle to maintain a constant speed without resting your foot on the accelerator pedal. With cruise control, you can set and automatically maintain any speed of between 40 km/h (24 mph) and 200 km/h (125 mph).

Your vehicle will accelerate. Release the switch at the speed you want. • Depress the RES/ACCEL switch and release it immediately. The cruising speed will increase 1.6 km/h (1 mph) by one touch and will be memorized to the reset speed. Driving your vehicle To temporarily accelerate with the cruise control on If you want to speed up temporarily when the cruise control is on, depress the accelerator pedal. Increased speed will not interfere with cruise control operation or change the set speed. To return to the set speed, take your foot off the accelerator. OGH046336N To decrease the cruising speed: Follow either of these procedures: • Depress the COAST/SET switch and hold it. Your vehicle will gradually slow down. Release the switch at the speed you want to maintain. • Depress the COAST/SET switch and release it immediately. The cruising speed will decrease 1.6 km/h (1 mph) by one touch and will be memorized to the reset speed. OGH046337N To resume cruising speed at more than 40 km/h (24 mph): If any method other than the CRUISE ON/OFF switch was used to cancel cruising speed and the system is still activated, the most recent set speed will automatically resume when the RES/ACCEL switch is depressed. It will not resume, however, if the vehicle speed has dropped below 40km/h (24 mph). 4 21 Driving your vehicle ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED) ESC operation OGH036003N The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) monitors information from various vehicle sensors and then compares the driver's commands with the actual behavior of the vehicle. If an unstable condition is created by the driver - a sudden evasive movement for example - ESC intervenes within fractions of a second via the engine computer and brake system and attempts to stabilize the vehicle. 4 22 ESC ON condition • When the ignition is turned ON, ESC and ESC OFF indicator lights illuminate for approximately 3 seconds, then ESC is turned on. • Press the ESC OFF button to turn ESC off. (ESC OFF indicator will illuminate). To turn the ESC on, press the ESC OFF button (ESC OFF indicator light will go off). • When starting the engine, you may hear a slight ticking sound.

CAUTION NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The use of leaded fuel is detrimental to the catalytic converter and will damage the engine control system’s oxygen sensor and affect emission control. Never add any fuel system cleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what Kia has specified. (Consult an Authorized Kia Dealer for details.) 5 2 Gasoline containing alcohol and methanol Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol (also known as grain alcohol), and gasoline or gasohol containing methanol (also known as wood alcohol) are being marketed along with or instead of leaded or unleaded gasoline. Do not use gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, and do not use gasoline or gasohol containing any methanol. Either of these fuels may cause drivability problems and damage to the fuel system. Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if drivability problems occur. Vehicle damage or driveability problems may not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty if they result from the use of: 1. Gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol. 2. Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol. 3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol. ✽ NOTICE Never use gasohol which contains methanol. Discontinue use of any gasohol product which impairs drivability. Driving tips EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM The emission control system of your vehicle is covered by a written limited warranty. Please see the warranty information contained in the Warranty & Consumer Information Manual in your vehicle. Vehicle modifications This vehicle should not be modified. Modification of your Kia could affect its performance, safety or durability and may even violate governmental safety and emissions regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from any modification may not be covered under warranty. Engine exhaust gas precautions (carbon monoxide) WARNING Engine exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide (CO). Though colorless and odorless, it is dangerous and could be lethal if inhaled. Follow the instructions following to avoid CO poisoning. • Carbon monoxide can be present with other exhaust fumes. Therefore, if you smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside your vehicle, have it inspected and repaired immediately by an authorized Kia dealer or other competent repair shop. If you ever suspect exhaust fumes are coming into your vehicle, drive it only with all the windows fully open. Have your vehicle checked and repaired immediately. • Do not operate the engine in confined or closed areas (such as garages) any more than what is necessary to move the vehicle in or out of the area. • When the vehicle is stopped in an open area for more than a short time with the engine running, adjust the ventilation system (as needed) to draw outside air into the vehicle. • Never sit in a parked or stopped vehicle for any extended time with the engine running. • When the engine stalls or fails to start, excessive attempts to re-start the engine may cause damage to the emission control system. 5 3 Driving tips Operating precautions for catalytic converters WARNING - Fire A hot exhaust system can ignite flammable items under your vehicle. Do not park the vehicle over or near flammable objects, such as dry grass, paper, leaves, etc. Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter emission control device. Therefore, the following precautions must be observed: • Use only UNLEADED FUEL for gasoline engine (unleaded). • Do not operate the vehicle when there are signs of engine malfunction, such as misfire or a noticeable loss of performance. • Do not misuse or abuse the engine. Examples of misuse are coasting with the ignition off and descending steep grades in gear with the ignition off. 5 4 • Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. If your run out of gasoline, it could cause the engine to misfire and result in excessive loading of the catalytic converter. • Do not operate the engine at high idle speed for extended periods (5 minutes or more). • Do not modify or tamper with any part of the engine or emission control system. All inspections and adjustments must be made by a qualified technician. Failure to observe these precautions could result in damage to the catalytic converter and to your vehicle. Additionally, such actions could void your warranties. Driving tips BEFORE DRIVING Before entering vehicle: Before starting • Be sure that all windows, outside mirror(s), and outside lights are clean. • Check the condition of the tires. • Check under the vehicle for any sign of leaks. • Be sure there are no obstacles behind you if you intend to back up. • Close and lock all doors. • Position the seat so that all controls are easily reached. • Adjust the inside and outside rearview mirrors. • Be sure that all lights work. • Check all gauges. • Check the operation of warning lights when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. • Release the parking brake and make sure the brake warning light goes out. For safe operation, be sure you are familiar with your vehicle and its equipment. Necessary inspections Fluid levels, such as engine oil, engine coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid should be checked on a regular basis, with the exact interval depending on the fluid. Further details are provided in Section 7, Maintenance. WARNING - Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs Drinking and driving is dangerous. Drunk driving is the number one contributor to the highway death toll each year. Even a small amount of alcohol will affect your reflexes, perceptions and judgement. You are much more likely to have a serious accident if you drink and drive. If you are drinking or taking drugs, don’t drive. Do not ride with a driver who has been drinking or taking drugs. Choose a designated driver or call a cab. Driving while under the influence of drugs is as dangerous or more dangerous than driving drunk. 5 5 Driving tips SUGGESTIONS FOR ECONOMICAL OPERATION Your vehicle's fuel economy depends mainly on your style of driving, where you drive and when you drive. Each of these factors affects how many kilometers (miles) you can get from a liter (gallon) of fuel. To operate your vehicle as economically as possible, use the following driving suggestions to help save money in both fuel and repairs: • Avoid lengthy warm-up idling. Once the engine is running smoothly, begin driving. Remember, engine warm-up may take a little longer on cold days. • Save fuel by accelerating slowly after stopping. • Keep the engine in tune and follow the recommended periodic maintenance schedule. This will increase the life of all parts and lower your operating costs. 5 6 • Do not use the air conditioner unnecessarily. • Slow down when driving on rough roads. • For longer tire life and better fuel economy, always keep the tires inflated to the recommended pressures. • Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles to avoid sudden stops. This will reduce wear on brake linings and pads. Driving in such a way will also save fuel because extra fuel is required to accelerate back to driving speed. • Do not carry unnecessary weight in the vehicle. • Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving. This can cause needless wear, possible damage to the brakes, and poor fuel economy. • Improper wheel alignment results in faster tire wear and lower fuel economy. • Open windows at high speeds can reduce fuel economy. • Fuel economy is less in crosswinds and headwinds. To help offset some of this loss, slow down when driving in these conditions. Keeping a vehicle in good operating condition is important both for economy and safety. Therefore, have an authorized Kia dealer perform scheduled inspections and maintenance. WARNING - Engine off during motion Never turn the engine off to coast down hills or anytime the vehicle is in motion. The power steering and power brakes will not function without the engine running. Instead, downshift to an appropriate gear for engine braking effect. Driving tips SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS Hazardous driving conditions When hazardous driving conditions are encountered such as water, snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar hazards, follow these suggestions: • Drive cautiously and allow extra distance for braking. • Avoid sudden movements in braking or steering. • When braking, pump the brake pedal with a light up-and-down motion until the vehicle is stopped. ✽ NOTICE Do not pump the brake pedal on a vehicle equipped with ABS. • If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use second gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid spinning 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 - Downshifting Downshifting with an automatic transaxle, while driving on slippery surfaces can cause an accident. The sudden change in tire speed could cause the tires to skid. Be careful when downshifting on slippery surfaces. Rocking the vehicle If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn the steering wheel right and left to clear the area around your front wheels. Then, shift back and forth between R (Reverse) and any forward gear in vehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle. Do not race the engine, and spin the wheels as little as possible. If you are still stuck after a few tries, have the vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid engine overheating and possible damage to the transaxle. 5 7 Driving tips ✽ NOTICE Driving at night Driving in the rain Prolonged rocking may cause engine over-heating, transaxle damage or failure, and tire damage. Because night driving presents more hazards than driving in the daylight, here are some important tips to remember: • Slow down and keep more distance between you and other vehicles, as it may be more difficult to see at night, especially in areas where there may not be any street lights. • Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other driver's headlights. • Keep your headlights clean and properly aimed on vehicles not equipped with the automatic headlight aiming feature. Dirty or improperly aimed headlights will make it much more difficult to see at night. • Avoid staring directly at the headlights of oncoming vehicles. You could be temporarily blinded, and it will take several seconds for your eyes to readjust to the darkness. Rain and wet roads can make driving dangerous, especially if you’re not prepared for the slick pavement. Here are a few things to consider when driving in the rain: • A heavy rainfall will make it harder to see and will increase the distance needed to stop your vehicle, so slow down. • Keep your windshield wiping equipment in good shape. Replace your windshield wiper blades when they show signs of streaking or missing areas on the windshield. • If your tires are not in good condition, making a quick stop on wet pavement can cause a skid and possibly lead to an accident. Be sure your tires are in good shape. • Turn on your headlights to make it easier for others to see you. • Driving too fast through large puddles can affect your brakes. If you must go through puddles, try to drive through them slowly. • If you believe you may have gotten your brakes wet, apply them lightly while driving until normal braking operation returns. WARNING - Spinning tires Do not spin the wheels, especially at speeds more than 56 km/h (35 mph). Spinning the wheels at high speeds when the vehicle is stationary could cause a tire to overheat, explode and injure bystanders. 5 8 Driving tips Winter driving • We recommend that you carry emergency equipment, including tire chains, a window scraper, windshield de-icer, a bag of sand or salt, flares, a small shovel and jumper cables. • Make sure you have sufficient ethylene-glycol coolant in the radiator. • Check the battery condition and cables. Cold temperatures reduce the capacity of any battery, so it must be in excellent condition to provide enough winter starting power. • Make sure the engine oil viscosity is suitable for cold weather. • Check the ignition system for loose connections and damage. • Use antifreeze-formulated windshield washer fluid. (Do not use engine coolant antifreeze.) • Do not use the parking brake if it might freeze. When parking, shift to P (Park) with an automatic transaxle and block the rear wheels. Snow tires If you mount snow tires on your Kia, make sure they are radial tires of the same size and load range as the original tires. Mount snow tires on all four wheels to balance your vehicle’s handling in all weather conditions. Keep in mind that the traction provided by snow tires on dry roads may not be as high as your vehicle's original equipment tires. You should drive cautiously even when the roads are clear. Check with the tire dealer for maximum speed recommendations. Do not install studded tires without first checking local, state and municipal regulations for possible restrictions against their use. Driving in flooded areas Avoid driving through flooded areas unless you are sure the water is no higher than the bottom of the wheel hub. Drive through any water slowly. Allow adequate stopping distance because brake performance may be affected. After driving through water, dry the brakes by gently applying them several times while the vehicle is moving slowly. WARNING - Snow tire size Snow tires should be equivalent in size and type to the vehicle's standard tires. Otherwise, the safety and handling of your vehicle may be adversely affected. 5 9 Driving tips HLA (Hydraulic Lash Adjuster) noise The engine HLA's keep the gap between the valve and cam at zero regardless of the valve expansion. Occasionally, you may hear a temporary or continuous sound (clatter) from the engine when starting or idling. This noise will usually go away by following a few simple steps: CAUTION Do not run the engine at more than 3000 rpm until the noise goes away. Damage to the HLA's could occur. 5 10 If the temporary sound occurs when starting a cold engine: This is a normal condition. This sound will disappear after the engine oil has reached normal operating pressure. If the sound occurs when starting the engine after the engine has not been operated for more than 48 hours; or engine has been cranked excessively: This condition may be caused by oil draining from the HLA's. This allows air to enter the HLA causing insufficient lubricating oil in the HLA. This will usually disappear within 15 minutes with the engine running at 2000~3000 rpm. If the sound does not disappear, have the engine oil pressure, engine lubrication system and HLA's inspected by an Authorized Kia Dealer. Driving tips VEHICLE LOAD LIMIT Type C Type A 390 860 390 390 860 P235/55R17 P225/60R16 P235/55R17 P225/60R16 P235/55R17 P235/55R17 OGH056900N 860 390 860 OGH056912N Type D Type B 390 860 390 390 860 P235/55R17 210kPa, 30psi P225/60R16 210kPa, 30psi P235/55R17 210kPa, 30psi P225/60R16 210kPa, 30psi T125/80D16 420kPa, 60psi T125/80D16 420kPa, 60psi OGH056910N 860 390 860 OGH056913N Tire and loading information label The label located on the driver's door sill gives the original tire size, cold tire pressures recommended for your vehicle, the number of people that can be in your vehicle and vehicle capacity weight. Vehicle capacity weight: 390 kg (860 lbs) Vehicle capacity weight is the maximum combined weight of occupants and cargo. If your vehicle is equipped with a trailer, the combined weight includes the tongue load. Seating capacity: Total : 5 persons (Front seat : 2 persons, Rear seat : 3 persons) Seating capacity is the maximum number of occupants including a driver, your vehicle may carry. However the seating capacity may be reduced based upon the weight of all of the occupants, and the weight of the cargo being carried or towed. Do not overload the vehicle as there is a limit to the total weight, or load limit including occupants and cargo, the vehicle can carry. 5 11 Driving tips Towing capacity: Without trailer brakes: 454 kg (1000 lbs) With trailer brakes: 908 kg (2000 lbs) Towing capacity is the maximum trailer weight including its cargo weight, your vehicle can tow. Cargo capacity: The cargo capacity of your vehicle will increase or decrease depending on the weight and the number of occupants and the tongue load, if your vehicle is equipped with a trailer. 5 12 Steps for determining correct load limit 1. Locate the statement "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.'' on your vehicle's placard. 2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. 3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs. 4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the "XXX" amount equals 635 kg (1400 lbs.), and there will be five 68 kg (150 lbs.) passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 295 kg (650 lbs.). (635-340 (5 x 68) = 295 kg or 1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.) 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle. Driving tips Example 1 A Example 2 B C A C190F01JM Item A B C Description Total Vehicle Capacity 635 kg Weight (1400 lbs) Subtract Occupant 136 kg Weight (300 lbs) 68 kg (150 lbs) × 2 Available Cargo and 499 kg Luggage weight (1100 lbs) Example 3 B C A C190F02JM Item A B C Description Total Vehicle Capacity 635 kg Weight (1400 lbs) Subtract Occupant 340 kg Weight (750 lbs) 68 kg (150 lbs) × 5 Available Cargo and 295 kg Luggage weight (650 lbs) B C C190F03JM Item A B C Description Total Vehicle Capacity 635 kg Weight (1400 lbs) Subtract Occupant 390 kg Weight (860 lbs) 78 kg (172 lbs) × 5 Available Cargo and 245 kg Luggage weight (540 lbs) Refer to your vehicle's tire and loading information label for specific information about your vehicle's capacity weight and seating positions. The combined weight of the driver, passengers and cargo should never exceed your vehicle's capacity weight. 5 13 Driving tips To find out the actual loads on your front and rear axles, you need to go to a weigh station and weigh your vehicle.Your dealer can help you with this. Be sure to spread out your load equally on both sides of the centerline. 1JBN5901 Compliance label The compliance label is located on the driver's door sill. This label shows the maximum allowable weight of the fully loaded vehicle. This is called the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. This label also tells you the maximum weight that can be supported by the front and rear axles, called Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). 5 14 WARNING - Over loading • Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, the GAWR for either the front or rear axle and vehicle capacity weight. Exceeding these ratings can cause an accident or vehicle damage. You can calculate the weight of your load by weighing the items (or people) before putting them in the vehicle. Be careful not to overload your vehicle. • Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR, either the maximum front or rear GAWR and vehicle capacity weight. (Continued) (Continued) If you do, parts, including tires on your vehicle can break, and it can change the way your vehicle handles and braking ability.This could cause you to lose control and crash. Also, overloading can shorten the life of your vehicle. ✽ NOTICE • Overloading your vehicle may cause damage. Repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do not overload your vehicle. • Using heavier suspension components to get added durability might not change your weight ratings. Ask your dealer to help you load your vehicle the right way. The label will help you decide how much cargo and installed equipment your vehicle can carry. Driving tips WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE If you carry items inside your vehicle - like suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else - they are moving as fast as the vehicle. If you have to stop or turn quickly, or if there is a crash, the items will keep going and can cause an injury if they strike the driver or a passenger. WARNING - Loose cargo Items you carry inside your vehicle can strike and injure occupants in a sudden stop or turn, or in a crash. • Put items in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weight evenly. • Never stack items, like suitcases, inside the vehicle above the tops of the seats. • Do not leave an unsecured child restraint in your vehicle. • When you carry something inside the vehicle, secure it. • Do not drive with a seat folded down unless necessary. This section will guide you in the proper loading of your vehicle and/or trailer, to keep your loaded vehicle weight within its design rating capability, with or without a trailer. Properly loading your vehicle will provide maximum return of the vehicle design performance. Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms for determining your vehicle's weight ratings, with or without a trailer, from the vehicle's specifications and the compliance label: Base curb weight This is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or optional equipment. Vehicle curb weight This is the weight of your new vehicle when you picked it up from your dealer plus any aftermarket equipment. Cargo weight This figure includes all weight added to the Base Curb Weight, including cargo and optional equipment. GAW (Gross axle weight) This is the total weight placed on each axle (front and rear) - including vehicle curb weight and all payload. GAWR (Gross axle weight rating) This is the maximum allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear). These numbers are shown on the compliance label. The total load on each axle must never exceed its GAWR. GVW (Gross vehicle weight) This is the Base Curb Weight plus actual Cargo Weight plus passengers. GVWR (Gross vehicle weight rating) This is the maximum allowable weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including all options, equipment, passengers and cargo). The GVWR is shown on the compliance label located on the driver’s door sill. 5 15 Driving tips TRAILER TOWING WARNING - Towing a trailer If you don't use the correct equipment and drive properly, you can lose control when you pull a trailer. For example, if the trailer is too heavy, the brakes may not work well - or even at all. You and your passengers could be seriously or fatally injured. Pull a trailer only if you have followed all the steps in this section. 5 16 Item Maximum trailer Without trailer brakes weight kg (lbs.) With trailer brakes ✽ NOTICE Pulling a trailer improperly can damage your vehicle and result in costly repairs not covered by your warranty. To pull a trailer correctly, follow the advice in this section. Specification 454 (1000) 908 (2000) Your vehicle can tow a trailer. To identify what the vehicle trailering capacity is for your vehicle, you should read the information in “Weight of the Trailer” that appears later in this section. Remember that trailering is different than just driving your vehicle by itself. Trailering means changes in handling, durability, and fuel economy. Successful, safe trailering requires correct equipment, and it has to be used properly. This section contains many time-tested, important trailering tips and safety rules. Many of these are important for your safety and that of your passengers. Please read this section carefully before you pull a trailer. Driving tips Load-pulling components such as the engine, transaxle, wheel assemblies, and tires are forced to work harder against the load of the added weight. The engine is required to operate at relatively higher speeds and under greater loads. This additional burden generates extra heat. The trailer also adds considerably to wind resistance, increasing the pulling requirements. If you do decide to pull a trailer Here are some important points if you decide to pull a trailer: • Consider using a sway control. You can ask a hitch dealer about sway control. • After your odometer indicates 800 km (500 miles) or more, you can tow a trailer. For the first 800 km (500 miles) that you tow a trailer, don’t drive over 80 km/h (50 mph) and don’t make starts at full throttle. This helps your engine and other parts of your vehicle “wear” in at the heavier loads. • Always drive at a safe speed (less than 100 km/h) commensurate with road conditions. • The important considerations have to do with weight: Weight of the trailer How heavy can a trailer safely be? It should never weigh more than 908 kg (2000 lbs.) with trailer brakes. But even that can be too heavy. It depends on how you plan to use your trailer. For example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside temperature and how much your vehicle is used to pull a trailer are all important. The ideal trailer weight can also depend on any special equipment that you have on your vehicle. 5 17 Driving tips Weight of the trailer tongue The tongue load of any trailer is an important weight to measure because it affects the total gross vehicle weight (GVW) of your vehicle. This weight includes the curb weight of the vehicle, any cargo you may carry in it, and the people who will be riding in the vehicle. And if you will tow a trailer, you must add the tongue load to the GVW because your vehicle will also be carrying that weight. After you've loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer and then the tongue, separately, to see if the weights are proper. If they aren’t, you may be able to correct them simply by moving some items around in the trailer. 5 18 WARNING • Never load a trailer with more weight in the rear than in the front. The front should be loaded with approximately 60% of the total trailer load; the rear should be loaded with approximately 40% of the total trailer load. • Never exceed the maximum weight limits of the trailer or trailer towing equipment. Improper loading can result in damage to your vehicle and/or personal injury. Check weights and loading at a commercial scale or highway patrol office equipped with scales. • An improperly loaded trailer can cause loss of vehicle control. Hitches It's important to have the correct hitch equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks going by, and rough roads are a few reasons why you’ll need the right hitch. Here are some rules to follow: • Will you have to make any holes in the body of your vehicle when you install a trailer hitch? If you do, then be sure to seal the holes later when you remove the hitch. If you don’t seal them, deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from your exhaust can get into your vehicle, as well as dirt and water. • The bumpers on your vehicle are not intended for hitches. Do not attach rental hitches or other bumper-type hitches to them. Use only a framemounted hitch that does not attach to the bumper. Driving tips Safety chains You should always attach chains between your vehicle and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the tongue of the trailer so that the tongue will not drop to the road if it becomes separated from the hitch. Instructions about safety chains may be provided by the hitch manufacturer or by the trailer manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for attaching safety chains. Always leave just enough slack so you can turn with your trailer. And, never allow safety chains to drag on the ground. Trailer brakes If your trailer weighs more than 454 kg (1000 lbs.) loaded, then it needs its own brakes and they must be adequate. Be sure to read and follow the instructions for the trailer brakes so you’ll be able to install, adjust and maintain them properly. • Don’t tap into your vehicle's brake system. WARNING Do not use a trailer with its own brakes unless you are absolutely certain that you have properly set up the brake system. This is not a task for amateurs. Use an experienced, competent trailer shop for this work. Driving with a trailer Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting out for the open road, you must get to know your trailer. Acquaint yourself with the feel of handling and braking with the added weight of the trailer. And always keep in mind that the vehicle you are driving is now a good deal longer and not nearly so responsive as your vehicle is by itself. Before you start, check the trailer hitch and platform, safety chains, electrical connector(s), lights, tires and mirror adjustment. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets you check your electrical connection at the same time. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working. 5 19 Driving tips Following distance Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when driving your vehicle without a trailer. This can help you avoid situations that require heavy braking and sudden turns. Passing You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And, because you’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to go much farther beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane. Backing up Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the trailer to the left, just move your hand to the left. To move the trailer to the right, move your hand to the right. Always back up slowly and, if possible, have someone guide you. Making turns When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider turns than normal. Do this so your trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees, or other objects. Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in advance. Turn signals when towing a trailer When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has to have a different turn signal flasher and extra wiring. The green arrows on your instrument panel will flash whenever you signal a turn or lane change. Properly connected, the trailer lights will also flash to alert other drivers you’re about to turn, change lanes, or stop. When towing a trailer, the green arrows on your instrument panel will flash for turns even if the bulbs on the trailer are burned out. Thus, you may think drivers behind you are seeing your signals when, in fact, they are not. It’s important to check occasionally to be sure the trailer bulbs are still working. You must also check the lights every time you disconnect and then reconnect the wires. Do not connect a trailer lighting system directly to your vehicle’s lighting system. Use only an approved trailer wiring harness. Your Authorized Kia Dealer can assist you in installing the wiring harness. WARNING Failure to use an approved trailer wiring harness could result in damage to the vehicle electrical system and/or personal injury. 5 20 Driving tips Driving on grades Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before you start down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t shift down, you might have to use your brakes so much that they would get hot and no longer operate efficiently. On a long uphill grade, shift down and reduce your speed to around 70 km/h (45 mph) to reduce the possibility of engine and transaxle overheating. If your trailer weighs more than 454 kg (1000 lbs.) and you have an automatic transaxle, you should drive in D (Drive) when towing a trailer. Operating your vehicle in D (Drive) when towing a trailer will minimize heat buildup and extend the life of your transaxle. CAUTION • When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 6%) pay close attention to the engine coolant temperature gauge to ensure the engine does not overheat. If the needle of the coolant temperature gauge moves across the dial towards “H” (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so, and allow the engine to idle until it cools down. You may proceed once the engine has cooled sufficiently. • You must decide driving speed depending on trailer weight and uphill grade to reduce the possibility of engine and transaxle overheating. Parking on hills Generally, you should not park your vehicle, with a trailer attached, on a hill. People can be seriously or fatally injured, and both your vehicle and the trailer can be damaged if they begin a downhill trajectory. WARNING - Parking on a hill Parking your vehicle on a hill with a trailer attached could cause serious injury or death, should a down hill trajectory happen. 5 21 Driving tips However, if you ever have to park your trailer on a hill, here’s how to do it: 1. Apply your brakes, but don’t shift into gear. 2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels. 3. When the wheel chocks are in place, release the brakes until the chocks absorb the load. 4. Reapply the brakes. Apply your parking brake, and then shift to P (Park) for an automatic transaxle. 5. Release the brakes. WARNING - Parking brake It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the parking brake is not firmly set. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be seriously or fatally injured. 5 22 When you are ready to leave after parking on a hill 1. With the automatic transaxle in P (Park), apply your brakes and hold the brake pedal down while you: • Start your engine; • Shift into gear; and • Release the parking brake. 2. Slowly remove your foot from the brake pedal. 3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks. 4. Stop and have someone pick up and store the chocks. Maintenance when trailer towing Your vehicle will need service more often when you regularly pull a trailer. Important items to pay particular attention include engine oil, automatic transaxle fluid, axle lubricant and cooling system fluid. Brake condition is another important item to frequently check. Each item is covered in this manual, and the Index will help you find them quickly. If you’re trailering, it’s a good idea to review these sections before you start your trip. Don’t forget to also maintain your trailer and hitch. Follow the maintenance schedule that accompanied your trailer and check it periodically. Preferably, conduct the check at the start of each day’s driving. Most importantly, all hitch nuts and bolts should be tight. CAUTION Due to higher load during trailer usage, overheating might occur in hot days or during uphill driving. If the coolant gauge indicates overheating, switch off the A/C and stop the vehicle in a safe area to cool down the engine. Driving tips LABEL INFORMATION There are several important labels and identification numbers located on your vehicle.

The flasher switch is located in the center console switch panel. All turn signal lights will flash simultaneously. OGH026040 Hazard warning flasher The hazard warning flasher serves as a warning to other drivers to exercise extreme caution when approaching, overtaking, or passing your vehicle. It should be used whenever emergency repairs are being made or when the vehicle is stopped near the edge of a roadway. 6 2 • The hazard warning flasher operates whether your vehicle is running or not. • The turn signals do not work when the hazard flasher is on. • Care must be taken when using the hazard warning flasher while the vehicle is being towed. If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, if you experience a loss of power, or if you hear a loud knocking or pinging noise, the engine has probably overheated. Should any of these symptoms occur, use the following procedure: 1. Turn on the hazard warning flasher, then drive to the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle; set the automatic transaxle in P (Park) and apply the parking brake. 2. Make sure the air conditioner is off. 3. If coolant or steam is boiling out of the radiator, stop the engine and call an Authorized Kia Dealer for assistance. If coolant is not boiling out, allow the engine to idle and open the hood to permit the engine to cool gradually. If the temperature does not go down with the engine idling, stop the engine and allow sufficient time for it to cool. In case of an emergency EMERGENCY STARTING 4. The coolant level should then be checked. If the level in the reservoir is low, look for leaks at the radiator hoses and connections, heater hoses and connections, radiator, and water pump. If you find a major leak or another problem that may have caused the engine to overheat, do not operate the engine until it has been corrected. Call an Authorized Kia Dealer for assistance. If you do not find a leak or other problem, carefully add coolant to the reservoir. WARNING - Removing radiator cap Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot coolant and steam may blow out under pressure. This could cause serious injury. If the engine frequently overheats, have the cooling system checked and repaired by an Authorized Kia Dealer. Jump starting Jump starting can be dangerous if done incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid harm to yourself or damage to your vehicle or battery, follow the jump starting procedures listed on page 6-4. If in doubt, we strongly recommend that you have a competent technician or towing service jump start your vehicle. ✽ NOTICE Use only a 12-volt jumper system. You can damage a 12-volt starting motor, ignition system, and other electrical parts beyond repair by use of a 24-volt power supply (either two 12-volt batteries in series or a 24-volt motor generator set). WARNING - Battery • Keep all flames or sparks away from the battery. The battery produces hydrogen gas which may explode if exposed to flame or sparks. • Do not attempt to jump start the vehicle if the discharged battery is frozen or if the electrolyte level is low; the battery may rupture or explode. WARNING - Battery Never attempt to check the electrolyte level of the battery as this may cause the battery to rupture or explode causing serious injury. 6 3 In case of an emergency Connecting jumper cables Connect cables in numerical order and disconnect in reverse order. Discharged battery Jumper Cables Booster battery OGH046001 6 4 Jump starting procedure 1. Make sure the booster battery is 12volt and that its negative terminal is grounded. 2. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to touch. 3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads. 4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the previous illustration. First connect one end of a jumper cable to the positive terminal of the discharged battery (➀), then connect the other end to the positive terminal on the booster battery (➁). Proceed to connect one end of the other jumper cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery (➂), then the other end to a solid, stationary, metallic point (for example, the engine lifting bracket) away from the battery (➃). Do not connect it to or near any part that moves when the engine is cranked. Do not connect the jumper cable from the negative terminal of the booster battery to the negative terminal of the discharged battery. In case of an emergency Do not allow the jumper cables to contact anything except the correct battery terminals or the correct ground. Do not lean over the battery when making connections. 5. Start the engine of the vehicle with the booster battery and let it run at 2,000 rpm, then start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery. If the cause of your battery discharging is not apparent, you should have your vehicle checked by an Authorized Kia Dealer. Push-starting ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT PROTECTION Vehicles equipped with automatic transaxle cannot be push-started. Follow the directions in this section for jump-starting. Normal WARNING Blown Never tow a vehicle to start it because the sudden surge forward when the engine starts could cause a collision with the tow vehicle. Refer to illustration on page 6-4. Normal Blown Normal Blown 1VQA4037 Fuses A vehicle’s electrical system is protected from electrical overload damage by fuses. 6 5 In case of an emergency This vehicle has two fuse panels, one located in the driver's side knee bolster, the other in the engine compartment near the battery. If any of your vehicle’s lights, accessories, or controls do not work, check the appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse has blown, the element inside the fuse will be melted. If the electrical system does not work, first check the driver’s side fuse panel. Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same rating. If the replacement fuse blows, this indicates an electrical problem. Avoid using the system involved and immediately consult an Authorized Kia Dealer. 6 6 Fuse replacement Driver - side knee bolster WARNING - Fuse replacement • Never replace a fuse with anything but another fuse of the same rating. • A higher capacity fuse could cause damage and possibly a fire. • Never install a wire instead of the proper fuse - even as a temporary repair. It may cause extensive wiring damage and possibly a fire. • Do not use a screwdriver or any other metal object to remove fuses because it may cause a short circuit and damage the system. 1GHA402 1. Turn the ignition switch and all other switches off. 2. Pull the suspected fuse straight out. Use the removal tool provided on the main fuse box in the engine compartment. 3. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. Spare fuses are provided in the fuse panel. 4. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly in the clips. If it fits loosely, consult an Authorized Kia Dealer. In case of an emergency Engine compartment ➁ ➀ ➀ Junction Box ➁ Main Fuse 1GHA403A OGH056001 1GHA404 If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of the same rating from a circuit you may not need for operating the vehicle, such as the radio or room lamp fuse. If the headlights or other electrical components do not work and the fuses are OK, check the fuse block in the engine compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must be replaced. To check the fuse or relay in the engine compartment, remove the engine compartment shroud. 1. Turn the ignition switch and all other switches off. 2. Remove the fuse box cover by removing the bolt on the cover and unhooking the tab on one end and tilting the cover back toward the other end. 3. Check the fuses. If one is blown, replace it with a new one of the same rating. ✽ NOTICE After checking the fuse box in the engine compartment, securely install the fuse box cover. If not, electrical failures may occur from water leaking in. 6 7 In case of an emergency Fuse/Relay panel description Inside the fuse/relay box covers, you can find the fuse/relay label describing fuse/relay name and capacity. Engine compartment OGH046004 Main fuse If the BATT (60A) or ALT (150A) fuse are blown, it must be removed as follows: 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 2.

Proper lifting and towing procedures are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or flatbed is recommended. For trailer towing guidelines information, refer to section 5 “Driving Tips”. 2GHA4109 It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels on the ground (without dollies) and the front wheels off the ground. When being towed by a commercial tow truck and wheel dollies are not used, the front of the vehicle should always be lifted, not the rear. 2GHA4107 CAUTION • Do not tow the vehicle backwards with the front wheels on the ground as this may cause damage to the vehicle. • Do not tow with sling-type equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed equipment. 6 12 In case of an emergency When towing your vehicle in an emergency without wheel dollies : 1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC position. 2. Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral). 3. Release the parking brake. Tie-down hook CAUTION Failure to place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral) may cause internal damage to the transaxle. OGH046012A Tie-down hook (for flatbed towing) WARNING Do not use the hooks under the front of the vehicle for towing purposes. These hooks are designed ONLY for transport tie-down. If the tie-down hooks are used for towing, the tie-down hooks will be damaged and this could lead to serious injury. 6 13 In case of an emergency Towing with a vehicle other than a tow truck • Front OGH046012 • Rear OGH046013 6 14 If towing is necessary, we recommend you to have it done by an Authorized Kia dealer or a commercial tow truck service. If towing service is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be temporarily towed using a cable or chain secured to the emergency towing hook under the front or rear of the vehicle. Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle. A driver must be in the vehicle to steer it and operate the brakes. Towing in this manner may be done only on hard-surfaced roads for a short distance and at low speeds. Also, the wheels, axles, power train, steering and brakes must all be in good condition. • Do not use the tow hooks to pull a vehicle out of mud, sand or other conditions from which the vehicle cannot be driven out under its own power. • Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the vehicle doing the towing. • The drivers of both vehicles should communicate with each other frequently. In case of an emergency CAUTION • Attach a towing strap to the tow hook. • Using a portion of the vehicle other than the tow hooks for towing may damage the body of your vehicle. • Use only a cable or chain specifically intended for use in towing vehicles. Securely fasten the cable or chain to the towing hook provided. • Before emergency towing, check that the hook is not broken or damaged. • Fasten the towing cable or chain securely to the hook. • Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and even force. • To avoid damaging the hook, do not pull from the side or at a vertical angle. Always pull straight ahead. WARNING Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle. • Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which would place excessive stress on the emergency towing hook and towing cable or chain. The hook and towing cable or chain may break and cause serious injury or damage. • If the towing vehicle can hardly move, do not forcibly continue the towing. Contact an Authorized Kia dealer or a commercial tow truck service for assistance. • Tow the vehicle as straight ahead as possible. • Keep away from the vehicle during towing. 1GHA4107 • Use a towing strap less than 5 m (16 feet) long. Attach a white or red cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches) wide) in the middle of the strap for easy visibility. • Drive carefully so that the towing strap is not loosened during towing. 6 15 In case of an emergency When your vehicle is being towed by another vehicle other than a tow truck (In case of an emergency) • Turn the ignition switch to ACC so the steering wheel isn’t locked. • Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral). • Release the parking bake. • Vehicle equipped with automatic transaxles should not exceed 45 km/h (28 mph) and should not be towed more than 80 km (50 miles). • Press the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will have reduced brake performance. • More steering effort will be required because the power steering system will be disabled. • If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake performance will be reduced. Stop often and let the brakes cool off. 6 16 CAUTION To prevent internal damage to the transaxle, never tow your vehicle from the rear (backwards) with all four tires in contact with the surface. Tips for towing a stuck vehicle The following methods are effective when your vehicle is stuck in mud, sand or similar substances that prevent the vehicle from being driven out under its own power. • Remove the soil and sand, etc. from the front and the back of the tires. • Place a stone or wood under the tires. In case of an emergency IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE Important - use of compact spare tire Your vehicle is equipped with a compact spare tire. This compact spare tire takes up less space than a regular-size tire. This tire is smaller than a conventional tire and is designed for temporary use only. OGH046010N 1GHA407 The spare tire, jack, jack handle and wheel lug nut wrench are stored in the trunk compartment. Move the carpeting out of the way to reach this equipment. The jack assembly is located in the trunk, under the carpeting, on the spare tire. Removing the spare tire Turn the tire hold-down wing bolt counterclockwise. Store the tire in the reverse order of removal. To prevent the spare tire and tools from “rattling” while the vehicle is in motion, store them properly. CAUTION - Compact spare • You should drive carefully when the compact spare is in use. The compact spare should be replaced by the proper conventional tire and rim at the first opportunity. • The operation of this vehicle is not recommended with more than one compact spare tire in use at the same time. 6 17 In case of an emergency WARNING - Compact spare This spare tire should be used only for VERY short distances. Compact spares should NEVER be used for long drives or extended distances. The compact spare should be inflated to 420 kPa (60 psi). ✽ NOTICE Check the inflation pressure after installing the spare tire. Adjust it to the specified pressure, as necessary. 6 18 When using a compact spare tire, observe the following precautions: • Under no circumstances should you exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a higher speed could damage the tire. • Ensure that you drive slowly enough for the road conditions to avoid all hazards. Any road hazard, such as a pothole or debris, could seriously damage the compact spare. • Any continuous road use of this tire could result in tire failure, loss of vehicle control, and possible personal injury. • Do not exceed the vehicle’s maximum load rating or the load-carrying capacity shown on the sidewall of the compact spare tire. • Avoid driving over obstacles. The compact spare tire diameter is smaller than the diameter of a conventional tire and reduces the ground clearance approximately 25 mm (1 inch), which could result in damage to the vehicle. • Do not take the vehicle through an automatic car wash with a compact spare. • Do not use tire chains on this tire. Because of the smaller size, a tire chain will not fit properly. This could damage the vehicle and result in loss of the chain. • This tire should not be installed on the front axle if the vehicle must be driven in snow or on ice. • Do not use the compact spare tire on any other vehicle because this tire has been designed especially for your vehicle. • The compact spare tire’s tread life is shorter than a regular tire. Inspect your compact spare tire regularly and replace worn compact spare tires with the same size and design, mounted on the same wheel. In case of an emergency Changing tires Jacking instructions The jack is provided for emergency tire changing only. Follow jacking instructions to reduce the possibility of personal injury. WARNING - Changing tires • Never attempt vehicle repairs in the traffic lanes of a public road or highway. • Always move the vehicle completely off the road and onto the shoulder before trying to change a tire. The jack should be used on level firm ground whenever possible. If you cannot find a firm, level place off the road, call a towing service company for assistance. • Be sure to use the correct front and rear jacking positions on the vehicle; never use the bumpers or any other part of the vehicle for jack support. (Continued) (Continued) • The vehicle can easily roll off the jack causing serious injury or death. No person should place any portion of their body under a vehicle that is supported only by a jack ; use vehicle support stands. • Do not start or run the engine while the vehicle is on the jack. • Do not allow anyone to remain in the vehicle while it is on the jack. • Make sure any children present are in a secure place away from the road and from the vehicle to be raised with the jack. 1JBA6021 Tire replacement 1. Park on a level surface and apply the parking brake firmly. 2. Shift the shift lever into P (Park). 3. Activate the hazard warning flasher. 6 19 In case of an emergency 1JBA6504 4. Remove the wheel lug nut wrench, jack, jack handle, and spare tire from the vehicle. 5. Block both the front and rear of the wheel that is diagonally opposite the jack position. 6 20 WARNING - Changing a tire • To prevent vehicle movement while changing a tire, always set the parking brake fully, and always block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being changed. • It is recommended that the wheels of the vehicle be chocked, and that no person should remain in a vehicle that is being jacked. 2GHN409 6. Wrap a piece of cloth around the tip of the screwdriver to avoid scratching. 7. Insert a screwdriver into the notch of the wheel cover and pry gently to remove the wheel cover (if equipped). In case of an emergency 2GHN409B 1GHA4103 1GHA4104 8. Loosen the wheel lug nuts counterclockwise one turn each, but do not remove any nut until the tire has been raised off the ground. 9. Place the jack at the front or rear jacking position closest to the tire you are changing. Place the jack at the designated locations under the frame. The jacking positions are plates welded to the frame with two tabs and a raised dot to index with the jack. 10. Insert the jack handle into the jack and turn it clockwise, raising the vehicle until the tire just clears the ground. This measurement is approximately 30 mm (1.2 in). Before removing the wheel lug nuts, make sure the vehicle is stable and that there is no chance for movement or slippage. 11. Remove the wheel lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise, then remove the wheel. 12. Mount the spare tire into position and install the wheel lug nuts with the beveled edge inward. WARNING - Jack location To reduce the possibility of injury, be sure to use only the jack provided with the vehicle and in the correct jack position; never use any other part of the vehicle for jack support. 6 21 In case of an emergency 14. Reinstall the wheel cover by fitting the boss of the wheel cover in the groove of the wheel. CAUTION 2GHN409A 13. Once the wheel lug nuts have been tightened, lower the vehicle fully to the ground and continue to tighten the lug nuts until they are fully secured. Tighten the wheel lug nuts firmly in a “star” pattern. If you are unsure of the tightness of the wheel lug nuts, have them checked at the nearest service station. The specified tightening torque is 9~11 kg•m (65-79 lb•ft, 88-107 N•m). Improperly tightened wheel lug nuts could cause brake pedal vibration while braking. 6 22 Your vehicle has metric threads on the wheel studs and nuts. Make certain during wheel removal that the same nuts removed are reinstalled - or, if replaced, that nuts with metric threads and the same chamfer configuration are used. Installation of a non-metric thread nut on a metric stud or vice-versa will not secure the wheel to the hub properly and will damage the stud so that it must be replaced. Note that most lug nuts do not have metric threads. Be sure to use extreme care in checking for thread style before installing aftermarket lug nuts or wheels. If in doubt, consult an Authorized Kia Dealer. WARNING - Wheel studs If the studs are damaged, they may lose their ability to retain the wheel. This could lead to the loss of the wheel and a collision. To prevent the jack, jack handle, wheel lug nut, wrench and spare tire from rattling while the vehicle is in motion, store them properly. WARNING Check the inflation pressures as soon as possible after installing the spare tire. Adjust it to the specified pressure, if necessary.

Any adverse conditions should be brought to the attention of your dealer or qualified service technician or service advisor as soon as possible. These Owner Maintenance Checks are generally not covered by warranties and you may be charged for labor, parts and lubricants used. When you stop for fuel: • Check the engine oil level. • Check coolant level in coolant reservoir. WARNING Be careful when checking your engine coolant level when the engine is hot. Scalding hot coolant and steam may blow out under pressure. This could cause serious injury. • Check the windshield washer fluid level. • Look for low or under-inflated tires. While operating your vehicle: • Note any changes in the sound of the exhaust or any smell of exhaust fumes in the vehicle. • Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steering effort or looseness in the steering wheel, or change in its straight-ahead position. • Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side when traveling on smooth, level road. • When stopping, listen and check for strange sounds, pulling to one side, increased brake pedal travel or “hardto-push” brake pedal. • If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transaxle occurs, check the transaxle fluid level. • Check automatic transaxle P (Park) function. • Check parking brake. • Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air conditioning system after use is normal). 7 7 Maintenance At least monthly: • Check coolant level in the coolant recovery reservoir. • Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the stoplights, turn signals and hazard warning flashers. • Check the inflation pressures of all tires including the spare. 7 8 At least twice a year (i.e., every Spring and Fall) : • Check radiator, heater and air conditioning hoses for leaks or damage. • Check windshield washer spray and wiper operation. Clean wiper blades with clean cloth dampened with washer fluid. • Check headlight alignment. • Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields and clamps. • Check the lap/shoulder belts for wear and function. • Check for worn tires and loose wheel lug nuts. At least once a year : • Clean body and door drain holes. • Lubricate door hinges and checks, and hood hinges. • Lubricate door and hood locks and latches. • Lubricate door rubber weatherstrips. • Check the air conditioning system before the warm weather season. • Check the power steering fluid level. • Inspect and lubricate automatic transaxle linkage and controls. • Clean battery and terminals. • Check the brake fluid level. Maintenance Owner maintenance precautions Improper or incomplete service may result in problems. This section gives instructions only for the maintenance items that are easy to perform. As explained earlier in this section, several procedures can be done only by a qualified service technician with special tools. ✽ NOTICE Improper owner maintenance during the warranty period may affect warranty coverage. For details, read the separate Kia Warranty & Consumer Information Manual provided with the vehicle. If you're unsure about any servicing or maintenance procedure, have it done by an Authorized Kia Dealer. WARNING - Maintenance work • Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be dangerous. You can be seriously injured while performing some maintenance procedures. If you lack sufficient knowledge and experience or the proper tools and equipment to do the work, have it done by a qualified technician. • Working under the hood with the engine running is dangerous. It becomes even more dangerous when you wear jewelry or loose clothing. These can become entangled in moving parts and result in injury. Therefore, if you must run the engine while working under the hood, make certain that you remove all jewelry (especially rings, bracelets, watches, and necklaces) and all neckties, scarves, and similar loose clothing before getting near the engine or cooling fans. 7 9 Maintenance ENGINE COMPARTMENT 1.

Be sure the vehicle is on level ground. 2. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. 3. Turn the engine off and wait for a few minutes (about 5 minutes) for the oil to return to the oil pan. 4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and re-insert it fully. 5. Pull the dipstick out again and check the level. The level should be between F and L. If it is near or at L, add enough oil to bring the level to F. Do not overfill. OGH056005N Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer to “Recommended Lubricants” later in this section.) OGH056003 Changing the engine oil and filter Change engine oil and filter according to the Scheduled Maintenance at the beginning of this section. 7 11 Maintenance ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM The high-pressure cooling system has a reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is filled at the factory. Check the antifreeze protection and coolant level at least once a year, at the beginning of the winter season, and before traveling to a colder climate. Checking the coolant level WARNING - Removing radiator cap • Never attempt to remove the radiator cap while the engine is operating or hot. Doing so might lead to cooling system and engine damage and could result in serious personal injury from escaping hot coolant or steam. (Continued) 7 12 (Continued) • Turn the engine off and wait until it cools down. Even then, use extreme care when removing the radiator cap. Wrap a thick towel around it, and turn it counterclockwise slowly to the first stop. Step back while the pressure is released from the cooling system. When you are sure all the pressure has been released, press down on the cap, using a thick towel, and continue turning counterclockwise to remove it. • Even if the engine is not operating, do not remove the radiator cap or the drain plug while the engine and radiator are hot. Hot coolant and steam may still blow out under pressure, causing serious injury. OGH076003N Check the condition and connections of all cooling system hoses and heater hoses. Replace any swollen or deteriorated hoses. The coolant level should be filled between F and L marks on the level gauge attached to the coolant reservoir cap when the engine is cool. If the coolant level is low, add enough specified coolant to provide protection against freezing and corrosion. Bring the level to F, but do not overfill. If frequent additions are required, see an Authorized Kia Dealer for a cooling system inspection. Maintenance Engine coolant • Use only soft (de-mineralized) water in the coolant mixture. • The engine in your vehicle has aluminum engine parts and must be protected by an ethylene-glycol-based coolant to prevent corrosion and freezing. • DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol coolant or mix them with the specified coolant. • Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze or less than 35% antifreeze, which would reduce the effectiveness of the solution. For mixture percentage, refer to the following table. Mixture Percentage (volume) Ambient Temperature Coolant Solution Water -15°C (5°F) 35 65 -25°C (-13°F) 40 60 -35°C (-31°F) 50 50 -45°C (-49°F) 60 40 1GHA412 WARNING Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot coolant and steam may blow out under pressure. This could cause serious injury. 7 13 Maintenance BRAKES OGH056013 Checking brake fluid level Check the fluid level in the reservoir periodically. The fluid level should be between MAX and MIN marks on the side of the reservoir. Before removing the reservoir cap and adding brake fluid, clean the area around the reservoir cap thoroughly to prevent brake fluid contamination. 7 14 If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX level. The level will fall with accumulated mileage. This is a normal condition associated with the wear of the brake pads. If the fluid level is excessively low, have the brake system checked by an Authorized Kia Dealer. Use only the specified brake fluid. (Refer to “Recommended Lubricants” later in this section.) Never mix different types of fluid. WARNING In the event the brake system requires frequent additions of fluid, the vehicle should be inspected by an Authorized Kia Dealer. WARNING When changing and adding brake fluid, handle it carefully. Do not let it come in contact with your eyes. If brake fluid should come in contact with your eyes, immediately flush them with a large quantity of fresh tap water. Have your eyes examined by a doctor as soon as possible. CAUTION Do not allow brake fluid to contact the vehicle's body paint, as paint damage will result. Brake fluid, which has been exposed to open air for an extended time should never be used as its quality cannot be guaranteed. It should be thrown out. Don't put in the wrong kind of fluid. For example, just a few drops of mineral-based oil, such as engine oil, in your brake system can damage brake system parts. Maintenance POWER STEERING In the event the power steering system requires frequent addition of fluid, the vehicle should be inspected by an Authorized Kia Dealer. Power steering hose Check the connections for oil leaks, severe damage and the twists in the power steering hose before driving. ✽ NOTICE OGH076421N Checking the power steering fluid level With the vehicle on level ground, check the fluid level in the power steering reservoir periodically. The fluid should be between MAX and MIN marks on the level gauge attached to the cap. Before adding power steering fluid, thoroughly clean the area around the reservoir cap to prevent power steering fluid contamination. If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX level. • To avoid damage to the power steering pump, do not operate the vehicle for prolonged periods with a low power steering fluid level. • Never start the engine when the reservoir tank is empty. • When adding fluid, be careful that dirt does not get into the tank. • Too little fluid can make the steering wheel heavier or strange noise can be generated. • The use of the non-specified fluid could reduce the effectiveness of the power steering wheel and cause damage to it. Use only the specified power steering fluid. (Refer to "Recommended Lubricants" later in this section.) 7 15 Maintenance AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE 2. After the transaxle is warmed up sufficiently (fluid temperature 70~80°C (158~176°F), for example by 10 minutes usual driving, shift the selector lever through all positions then place the selector lever in “N (Neutral) or P (Park)” position. OGH056001 Checking the automatic transaxle fluid level The automatic transaxle fluid level should be checked regularly. Keep the vehicle on the level ground with the parking brake applied and check the fluid level according to the following procedure. 1. Place the selector lever in N (Neutral) position and confirm the engine is running at normal idle speed. 7 16 OVQ056002 3. Confirm that the fluid level is in “HOT” range on the level gauge. If the fluid level is lower, add the specified fluid from the fill hole. If the fluid level is higher, drain the fluid from the drain hole. 4. If the fluid level is checked in cold condition (fluid temperature 20~30°C (68~86°F) add the fluid to “COLD” line and then recheck the fluid level according to the above step 2. Maintenance WARNING - Transaxle fluid The transaxle fluid level should be checked when the engine is at normal operating temperature. This means that the engine, radiator, radiator hose and exhaust system etc., are very hot. Exercise great care not to burn yourself during this procedure. CAUTION • Low fluid level causes transaxle slippage. Overfilling can cause foaming, loss of fluid and transaxle malfunction. • The use of a non-specified fluid could result in transaxle malfunction. WARNING - Parking brake To avoid sudden movement of the vehicle, apply parking brake and depress the brake pedal before moving the shift lever. ✽ NOTICE “COLD” scale is for reference only and should NOT be used to determine transaxle fluid level. New automatic transaxle fluid should be red. The red dye is added so the assembly plant can identify it as automatic transaxle fluid and distinguish it from engine oil or antifreeze. The red dye, which is not an indicator of fluid quality, is not permanent. As the vehicle is driven, the automatic transaxle fluid will begin to look darker. The color may eventually appear light brown. ✽ NOTICE Have an Authorized Kia dealer change the automatic transaxle fluid according to the Scheduled Maintenance at the beginning of this section. 7 17 Maintenance LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS WARNING OGH056001 Checking the washer fluid level The reservoir is translucent so that you can check the level with a quick visual inspection. Check the fluid level in the washer fluid reservoir and add fluid if necessary. Plain water may be used if washer fluid is not available. However, use washer solvent with antifreeze characteristics in cold climates to prevent freezing. 7 18 • Do not use radiator coolant or antifreeze in the washer fluid reservoir. • Radiator coolant can severely obscure visibility when sprayed on the windshield and may cause loss of vehicle control or damage to paint and body trim. • Windshield Washer fluid agents contain some amounts of alcohol and can be flammable under certain circumstances. Do not allow sparks or flame to contact the washer fluid or the washer fluid reservoir. Damage to the vehicle or it's occupants could occur. • Windshield washer fluid is poisonous to humans and animals. Do not drink and avoid contacting windshield washer fluid. Serious injury or death could occur. Body lubrication All moving points of the body, such as door hinges, hood hinges, and locks, should be lubricated each time the engine oil is changed. Use a non-freezing lubricant on locks during cold weather. Make sure the engine hood secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the primary latch is released. Maintenance CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER (IF EQUIPPED) AIR CLEANER Evaporator core Blower de tsi Ou Inside vehicle OGH056001 Element replacement Have the air cleaner element checked and replaced in accordance with the maintenance schedule. CAUTION • Do not drive with the air cleaner removed; this will result in excessive engine wear. • Driving without an air cleaner encourages backfiring, which could cause a fire in the engine compartment. • When removing the air cleaner element, be careful that dust or dirt does not enter the air intake, or damage may result. air Re cir cu lat ed air Climate control air filter OGH056911N The climate control air filter located between the evaporator core and blower filters the air coming into the vehicle. If dust or other pollutants accumulate in the filter for a period of time, the air flow from the air vents may be decreased and the dust intake may increase. Therefore the air filter should be replaced at the intervals shown in the maintenance schedule. If the vehicle is operated in dusty or sandy areas, replace the filter more often than the recommended intervals. 7 19 Maintenance WIPER BLADES Wiper blade maintenance ✽ NOTICE Commercial hot waxes applied by automatic car washes have been known to make the windshield difficult to clean. Contamination of either the windshield or the wiper blades with foreign matter can reduce the effectiveness of the windshield wipers. Common sources of contamination are insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by some commercial car washes. If the blades are not wiping properly, clean both the window and the blades with a good cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse thoroughly with clean water. CAUTION To prevent damage to the wiper blades, do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner, or other solvents on or near them. 7 20 Windshield wiper blade replacement When the wipers no longer clean adequately, the blades may be worn or cracked, and require replacement. CAUTION To prevent damage to the wiper arms or other components, do not attempt to move the wipers manually. ✽ NOTICE The use of a non-specified wiper blade could result in wiper malfunction and failure. Maintenance 1LDA5023 1JBA7037 1JBA7038 1.

Recommended cold tire inflation pressures All tire pressures (including the spare) should be checked every day when the tires are cold. “Cold Tires” means the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours or driven less than 1.6 km (one mile). Recommended pressures must be maintained for the best ride, top vehicle handling, and minimum tire wear. X X 390 3GHA523 All specifications (sizes and pressures) can be found on a label attached to the vehicle. XXX XX XX XXX XX XXX XX XX XXX XX XXX XX XX XXX XX X X 860 390 X X 860 OGH036905N WARNING - Tire underinflation Severe underinflation (70 kPa (10 psi) or more) can lead to severe heat build-up, causing blowouts, tread separation and other tire failures that can result in the loss of vehicle control leading to severe injury or death. This risk is much higher on hot days and when driving for protracted periods at high speeds. 7 25 Maintenance ✽ NOTICE • Underinflation also results in excessive wear, poor handling and reduced fuel economy. Wheel deformation also is possible. Keep your tire pressures at the proper levels. If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it checked by an Authorized Kia Dealer. • Overinflation produces a harsh ride, excessive wear at the center of the tire tread, and a greater possibility of damage from road hazards. ✽ NOTICE • Warm tires normally exceed recommended cold tire pressures by 28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do not release air from warm tires to adjust the pressure or the tires will be underinflated. • Be sure to reinstall the tire inflation valve caps. Without the valve cap, dirt or moisture could get into the valve core and cause air leakage. If a valve cap is missing, install a new one as soon as possible. 7 26 WARNING - Tire Inflation Overinflation or underinflation can reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle handling, and lead to sudden tire failure. This could result in loss of vehicle control and potential injury. WARNING - Tire pressure Always observe the following: • Check tire pressure when the tires are cold. (After vehicle has been parked for at least three hours or hasn't been driven more than 1.6 km (one mile) since startup.) • Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check the pressure of other tires. • Never overload your vehicle. Be careful not to overload a vehicle luggage rack if your vehicle is equipped with one. • Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your tread is badly worn, or if your tires have been damaged, replace them. Checking tire inflation pressure Check your tires once a month or more. Also, check the tire pressure of the spare tire. How to check Use a good quality gauge to check tire pressure. You can not tell if your tires are properly inflated simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look properly inflated even when they're underinflated. Check the tire's inflation pressure when the tires are cold. - "Cold" means your vehicle has been sitting for at least three hours or driven no more than 1.6 km (1 mile). Maintenance Remove the valve cap from the tire valve stem. Press the tire gauge firmly onto the valve to get a pressure measurement. If the cold tire inflation pressure matches the recommended pressure on the tire and loading information label, no further adjustment is necessary. If the pressure is low, add air until you reach the recommended amount. If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the center of the tire valve. Recheck the tire pressure with the tire gauge. Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve stems. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture. Tire rotation To equalize tread wear, it is recommended that the tires be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or sooner if irregular wear develops. During rotation, check the tires for correct balance. When rotating tires, check for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tire pressure, improper wheel alignment, outof-balance wheels, severe braking or severe cornering. Look for bumps or bulges in the tread or side of tire. Replace the tire if you find either of these conditions. Replace the tire if fabric or cord is visible. After rotation, be sure to bring the front and rear tire pressures to specification and check lug nut tightness. Refer to Section 8, Specifications. With a full-size spare tire CBGQ0706 Without a spare tire CBGQ0707 Directional tires (if equipped) CBGQ0707A 7 27 Maintenance Disc brake pads should be inspected for wear whenever tires are rotated. Rotate radial tires that have an asymmetric tread pattern only from front to rear and not from right to left. Tread wear indicator WARNING • Do not use the temporary spare tire for tire rotation • Do not mix bias ply and radial ply tires under any circumstances. This may cause unusual handling characteristics that could result in death, severe injury, or property damage. 7 28 2GHA5032 Tire replacement If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear indicator will appear as a solid band across the tread. This shows there is less than 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) of tread left on the tire. Replace the tire when this happens. Do not wait for the band to appear across the entire tread before replacing the tire. Wheel alignment and tire balance The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the factory to give you the longest tire life and best overall performance. In most cases, you will not need to have your wheels aligned again. However, if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way or the other, the alignment may need to be reset. If you notice your vehicle vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need to be rebalanced. ✽ NOTICE Improper wheel weights can damage your vehicle's aluminum wheels. Use only approved wheel weights. Maintenance WARNING - Replacing tires • Driving on worn-out tires is very hazardous and will reduce braking effectiveness, steering accuracy, and traction. • Your vehicle is equipped with tires designed to provide for safe ride and handling capability. Do not use a size and type of tire and wheel that is different from the one that is originally installed on your vehicle. It can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could lead to handling failure or rollover and serious injury. When replacing the tires, be sure to equip all four tires with the tire and wheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load-carrying capacity. (Continued) (Continued) If you nevertheless decide to equip your vehicle with any tire/wheel combination not recommended by Kia for off road driving, you should not use these tires for highway driving. • The use of any other tire size or type may seriously affect ride, handling, ground clearance, stopping distance, body to tire clearance, snow tire clearance, and speedometer reliability. • It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that is not possible, or necessary, then replace the two front or two rear tires as a pair. Replacing just one tire can seriously affect your vehicle’s handling. Wheel replacement When replacing the metal wheels for any reason, make sure the new wheels are equivalent to the original factory units in diameter, rim width and offset. WARNING A wheel that is not the correct size may adversely affect wheel and bearing life, braking and stopping abilities, handling characteristics, ground clearance, body-to-tire clearance, snow chain clearance, speedometer calibration, headlight aim and bumper height. 7 29 Maintenance Tire maintenance In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tire wear. If you find a tire is worn unevenly, have your dealer check the wheel alignement. When you have new tires installed, make sure they are balanced. This will increase vehicle ride comfort and tire life. Additionally, a tire should always be rebalanced if it is removed from the wheel. Tire traction Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated or on slippery road surfaces. Tires should be replaced when tread wear indicators appear. To reduce the possiblity of losing control, slow down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the road. 2. Tire size designation 1 5,6 7 4 3 2 1 I030B04JM Tire sidewall labeling Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides the tire identification number (TIN) for safety standard certification. The TIN can be used to identify the tire in case of a recall. 1. Manufacturer or brand name Manufacturer or Brand name is shown. 7 30 A tire’s sidewall is marked with a tire size designation. You will need this information when selecting replacement tires for your car. The following explains what the letters and numbers in the tire size designation mean. Example tire size designation: (These numbers are provided as an example only; your tire size designator could vary depending on your vehicle.) P185/65R14 86H P - Applicable vehicle type (tires marked with the prefix “P’’ are intended for use on passenger cars or light trucks; however, not all tires have this marking). 185 - Tire width in millimeters. 65 - Aspect ratio. The tire’s section height as a percentage of its width. R - Tire construction code (Radial). 14 - Rim diameter in inches. Maintenance 86 - Load Index, a numerical code associated with the maximum load the tire can carry. H - Speed Rating Symbol. See the speed rating chart in this section for additional information. Wheel size designation Wheels are also marked with important information that you need if you ever have to replace one. The following explains what the letters and numbers in the wheel size designation mean. Example wheel size designation: 5.5JX14 5.5 - Rim width in inches. J - Rim contour designation. 14 - Rim diameter in inches. Tire speed ratings The chart below lists many of the different speed ratings currently being used for passenger cars. The speed rating is part of the tire size designation on the sidewall of the tire. This symbol corresponds to that tire's designed maximum safe operating speed. Speed Rating Symbol S T H V Z Maximum Speed 112 mph (180 km/h) 118 mph (190 km/h) 130 mph (210 km/h) 149 mph (240 km/h) Above 149 mph (240 km/h) 3. Checking tire life (TIN : Tire Identification Number) Any tires that are over 6 years, based on the manufacturing date, tire strength and performance, decline with age naturally (even unused spare tires). Therefore, the tires (including the spare tire) should be replaced by new ones. You can find the manufacturing date on the tire sidewall (possibly on the inside of the wheel), displaying the DOT Code. The DOT Code is a series of numbers on a tire consisting of numbers and English letters. The manufacturing date is designated by the last four digits (characters) of the DOT code. DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOO The front part of the DOT means a plant code number, tire size and tread pattern and the last four numbers indicate week and year manufactured. For example: DOT XXXX XXXX 1606 represents that the tire was produced in the 16th week of 2006. 7 31 Maintenance WARNING Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used. Regardless of the remaining tread, it is recommended that tires generally be replaced after six (6) years of normal service. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the aging process. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure, which could lead to a loss of control and an accident involving serious injury or death. 4. Tire ply composition and material The number of layers or plies of rubber-coated fabric in the tire. Tire manufacturers also must indicate the materials in the tire, which include steel, nylon, polyester, and others. The letter "R" means radial ply construction; the letter "D" means diagonal or bias ply construction; and the letter "B" means belted-bias ply construction. 7 32 5. Maximum permissible inflation pressure This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should be put in the tire. Do not exceed the maximum permissible inflation pressure. Refer to the Tire and Loading Information label for recommended inflation pressure. 6. Maximum load rating This number indicates the maximum load in kilograms and pounds that can be carried by the tire. When replacing the tires on the vehicle, always use a tire that has the same load rating as the factory installed tire. 7. Uniform tire quality grading The following information relates to the tire grading system developed by the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) for grading tires by tread wear, traction and temperature performance. Tread wear The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one-and-ahalf times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use. However, performance may differ from the norm because of variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate. These grades are molded on the side-walls of passenger vehicle tires. The tires available as standard or optional equipment on Kia vehicles may vary with respect to grade. Maintenance Traction - AA, A, B & C The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. The grades represent the tires ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. Temperature -A, B & C The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C. The grades represent the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tires to degenerate and reduce tires life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tires failure. Grades A and B represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by the law. WARNING - Tire temperature The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat build-up and possible sudden tire failure. This can cause loss of vehicle control and serious injury or death. Tire terminology and definitions Air Pressure: The amount of air inside the tire pressing outward on the tire.

Vehicle Placard: A label permanently attached to a vehicle showing the original equipment tire size and recommended inflation pressure. All season tires Kia specifies all season tires on some models to provide good performance for use all year round, including snowy and icy road conditions. All season tires are identified by ALL SEASON and/or M+S (Mud and Snow) on the tire sidewall. Snow tires have better snow traction than all season tires and may be more appropriate in some areas. Summer tires Kia specifies summer tires on some models to provide superior performance on dry roads. Summer tire performance is substantially reduced in snow and ice. Summer tires do not have the tire traction rating M+S (Mud and Snow) on the tire side wall. if you plan to operate your vehicle in snowy or icy conditions. Kia recommends the use of snow tires or all season tires on all four wheels. Snow tires If you equip your car with snow tires, they should be the same size and have the same load capacity as the original tires. Snow tires should be installed on all four wheels; otherwise, poor handling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressure recommended for the standard tires on the tire label on the driver's side of the center pillar, or up to the maximum pressure shown on the tire sidewall, whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph) when your car is equipped with snow tires. 7 35 Maintenance LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS Recommended lubricants To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only lubricants of the proper quality. The correct lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in improved fuel economy. Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings. 7 36 These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle. Lubricant Classification Engine oil *¹ API Service SL or above, ILSAC GF-3 or above Automatic transaxle fluid DIAMOND ATF SP-III Power steering fluid PSF-IV Brake fluid FMVSS116 DOT-3 or DOT-4 *¹ Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page. Maintenance Recommended SAE viscosity number When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be operated in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from the chart. CAUTION Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that could be damaged.

For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE 5W20,5W-30 (API SL / ILSAC GF-3). However, the engine oil is not available in your country, select the proper engine oil using the engine oil viscosity chart. Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather operating (starting and oil flow). Lower viscosity engine oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine damage. 7 37 Maintenance EXTERIOR CARE Exterior general caution It is very important to follow the label directions when using any chemical cleaner or polish. Read all warning and caution statements that appear on the label. Finish maintenance Washing To help protect your vehicle’s finish from rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughly and frequently at least once a month with lukewarm or cold water. If you use your vehicle for off-road driving, you should wash it after each offroad trip. Pay special attention to the removal of any accumulation of salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign materials. Make sure the drain holes in the lower edges of the doors and rocker panels are kept clear and clean. Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings, industrial pollution and similar deposits can damage your vehicle’s finish if not removed immediately. Even prompt washing with plain water may not completely remove all these deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on painted surfaces, may be used. After washing, rinse the vehicle thoroughly with lukewarm or cold water. Do not allow soap to dry on the finish. CAUTION Do not use strong soap, chemical detergents or hot water, and do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight or when the body of the vehicle is warm. WARNING After washing the vehicle, test the brakes while driving slowly to see if they have been affected by water. If braking performance is impaired, dry the brakes by applying them lightly while maintaining a slow forward speed. 7 38 OJB037800 CAUTION • Water washing in the engine compartment including high pressure water washing may cause the failure of electrical circuits located in the engine compartment. • Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electrical/electronic components inside the vehicle as this may damage them. Maintenance Waxing Wax the vehicle when water will no longer bead on the paint. Always wash and dry the vehicle before waxing. Use a good quality liquid or paste wax, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect it and to maintain its luster. Removing oil, tar, and similar materials with a spot remover will usually strip the wax from the finish. Be sure to re-wax these areas even if the rest of the vehicle does not yet need waxing. ✽ NOTICE Finish damage repair Bright-metal maintenance Deep scratches or stone chips in the painted surface must be repaired promptly. Exposed metal will quickly rust and may develop into a major repair expense. • To remove road tar and insects, use a tar remover, not a scraper or other sharp object. • To protect the surfaces of bright-metal parts from corrosion, apply a coating of wax or chrome preservative and rub to a high luster. • During winter weather or in coastal areas, cover the bright metal parts with a heavier coating of wax or preservative. If necessary, coat the parts with non-corrosive petroleum jelly or other protective compound. ✽ NOTICE If your vehicle is damaged and requires any metal repair or replacement, be sure the body shop applies anti-corrosion materials to the parts repaired or replaced. • Wiping dust or dirt off the body with a dry cloth will scratch the finish. • Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or strong detergents containing highly alkaline or caustic agents on chrome-plated or anodized aluminum parts. This may result in damage to the protective coating and cause discoloration or paint deterioration. 7 39 Maintenance Underbody maintenance Corrosive materials used for ice and snow removal and dust control may collect on the underbody. If these materials are not removed, accelerated rusting can occur on underbody parts such as the fuel lines, frame, floor pan and exhaust system, even though they have been treated with rust protection. Thoroughly flush the vehicle underbody and wheel openings with lukewarm or cold water once a month, after off-road driving and at the end of each winter. Pay special attention to these areas because it is difficult to see all the mud and dirt. It will do more harm than good to wet down the road grime without removing it. The lower edges of doors, rocker panels, and frame members have drain holes that should not be allowed to clog with dirt; trapped water in these areas can cause rusting. 7 40 WARNING After washing the vehicle, test the brakes while driving slowly to see if they have been affected by water. If braking performance is impaired, dry the brakes by applying them lightly while maintaining a slow forward speed. Aluminum wheel maintenance The aluminum wheels are coated with a clear protective finish. • Do not use any abrasive cleaner, polishing compound, solvent, or wire brushes on aluminum wheels. They may scratch or damage the finish. • Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent, and rinse thoroughly with water. Also, be sure to clean the wheels after driving on salted roads. This helps prevent corrosion. • Avoid washing the wheels with highspeed car wash brushes. • Do not use any acid detergent. It may damage and corrode the aluminum wheels coated with a clear protective finish. Maintenance INTERIOR CARE Interior general precautions Prevent caustic solutions such as perfume and cosmetic oil from contacting the dashboard because they may cause damage or discoloration. If they do contact the dashboard, wipe them off immediately. See the instructions that follow for the proper way to clean vinyl. Cleaning the upholstery and interior trim Vinyl Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner. Clean vinyl surfaces with a vinyl cleaner. Fabric Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner. Clean with a mild soap solution recommended for upholstery or carpets. Remove fresh spots immediately with a fabric spot cleaner. If fresh spots do not receive immediate attention, the fabric can be stained and its color can be affected. Also, its fire-resistant properties can be reduced if the material is not properly maintained. CAUTION Using anything but recommended cleaners and procedures may affect the fabric’s appearance and fireresistant properties. Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt webbing Clean the belt webbing with any mild soap solution recommended for cleaning upholstery or carpet. Follow the instructions provided with the soap. Do not bleach or re-dye the webbing because this may weaken it. Cleaning the interior window glass If the interior glass surfaces of the vehicle become fogged (that is, covered with an oily, greasy or waxy film), they should be cleaned with glass cleaner. Follow the directions on the glass cleaner container. ✽ NOTICE Do not scrape or scratch the inside of the rear window. This may result in damage to the rear window defroster grid. 7 41 Specifications / 8-2 Specifications 8 Specifications SPECIFICATIONS The specifications given here are for general information only.
