Features of your vehicle
Roof rack (for wagon)
If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load cargo on top of your vehicle.
We recommend to obtain the crossbars and fixing components needed to install
the roof rack on your vehicle from an
authorized Kia dealer.
✽✽NOTICE
 The crossbars (if equipped) should be placed in the proper load carrying
positions prior to placing items onto
the roof rack.
 If the vehicle is equipped with a sun-
roof, be sure not to position cargo onto
the roof rack in such a way that it
could
interfere with sunroof operation.
 When the roof rack is not being used to
carry cargo, the crossbars may need to
be repositioned if wind noise is detected.
WARNING
The vehicle center of gravity will be higher when items are loaded
onto the roof. Avoid sudden
starts, braking, sharp turns,
abrupt maneuvers or high speeds
that may result in loss of vehicle
control or rollover resulting in anaccident.
Always drive slowly and turn cor- ners carefully when carrying
items on the roof. Severe wind
updrafts, caused by passing
vehicles or natural causes, can
cause sudden upward pressure
on items loaded on the roof. This
is especially true when carrying
large, flat items such as wood
panels or mattresses. This could
cause the items to fall off the roof
and cause damage to your vehi-
cle or others around you.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo while driving, check fre-
quently before or while driving to
make sure the items on the roof
are securely fastened.
OJD042245
CAUTION
When carrying cargo on the roof
rack, take the necessary precau-tions to make sure the cargo does not damage the roof of the vehicle.
When carrying large objects on the roof rack, make sure they donot exceed the overall roof lengthor width.
When you are carrying cargo on the roof rack, do not operate the
sunroof (if equipped).

This is especially true when car-
rying large, flat items such as
wood panels or mattresses. Thiscould cause the items to fall off
the roof rack and cause damage
to your vehicle or others around
you.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo while driving, check fre-
quently before or while driving to
make sure the items on the roof
rack are securely fastened.WARNING
The following specification is the maximum weight that can be
loaded onto the roof rack.
Distribute the load as evenly as
possible across the crossbars (if
equipped) and roof rack and
secure the load firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage in
excess of the specified weight
limit on the roof rack may dam-
age your vehicle.
The vehicle center of gravity will be higher when items are loaded
onto the roof rack. Avoid sudden
starts, braking, sharp turns,

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 astronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from sever-
al directions can cause distortion
or fluttering. This can be caused bya direct and reflected signal from
the same station, or by signals
from two stations with close fre-
quencies. If this occurs, selectanother station until the conditionhas passed.
Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio system. This does notmean 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. Caring for Disc
If the temperature inside the car is
too high, open the car windows to
ventilate before using the system.
It is illegal to copy and use MP3/WMA files without permis-
sion. Use CDs that are created
only by lawful means.
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 CDs by the
edges or the center hole only.
Clean the disc surface with a piece of soft cloth before playback (wipeit from the center to the outsideedge).
Do not damage the disc surface or attach pieces of sticky tape or
paper.
Make certain only CDs are insert- ed into the CD player (Do not insertmore than one CD at a time).
Keep CDs in their cases after use to protect them from scratches or
dirt.
CAUTION
When using a communication
system such as a cellular phoneor a radio set inside the vehicle, a separate external antennamust be fitted. When a cellularphone or a radio set is used with an internal antenna alone,it may interfere with the vehi-cle's electrical system andadversely affect safe operation of the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not use a cellular phone
while driving. Stop at a safe
location to use a cellular phone.
