•Passengers should not move out ofor change seats while the vehicle ismoving. A passenger who is not
wearing a seat belt during a crash or
emergency stop can be thrown
against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or out of
the vehicle.
•
Each seat belt is designed to restrainone occupant. If more than one per‐
son uses the same seat belt, they
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
•
Do not use any accessories on seatbelts. Devices claiming to improve oc‐
cupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection provi‐
ded by the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.
•
Passengers should not place hard orsharp objects between themselvesand the air bags. Carrying hard or
sharp objects on your lap or in your
mouth can result in injuries if an air
bag inflates. •
Keep occupants away from the airbag covers.
All occupants should sit
upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on
the floor. If occupants are too close
to the air bag covers, they could be injured if the air bags inflate.
•
Do not attach or place objects on ornear the air bag covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the front or
side air bag covers could interfere with the proper operation of the air
bags.
•
Do not modify the front seats. Modi‐
fication of the front seats could in‐
terfere with the operation of the
supplemental restraint system sens‐ ing components or side air bags.
•
Do not place items under the frontseats. Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the opera‐
tion of the supplemental restraint
system sensing components and wir‐ ing harnesses.
•
Never hold an infant or child on yourlap. The infant or child could be seri‐
ously injured or killed in the event of
a crash. All infants and children should be properly restrained in ap‐
propriate child safety seats or seat
belts in the rear seat.
WARNING
•Sitting improperly or out of posi‐tion can cause occupants to beshifted too close to a deploying airbag, strike the interior structureor be thrown from the vehicle re‐sulting in serious injury or death.
•Always sit upright with the seat‐back in an upright position, cen‐tered on the seat cushion withyour seat belt on, legs comfortablyextended and your feet on thefloor.
Adding equipment to or
modifying your air bag-
equipped vehicle
If you modify your vehicle by changing
your vehicle's frame, bumper system, front end or side sheet metal or ride
height, this may affect the operation of
your vehicle's air bag system.

•When the charging system warn‐
ing light comes on or the voltage is
low (When the alternator (or bat‐
tery) does not operate normally or
it malfunctions), the steering
wheel may get heavy and become
difficult to control operate abnor‐
mally.
Tilt & telescopic steering (if
equipped)
A tilt and telescopic steering wheel al‐
lows you to adjust the steering wheel before you drive.
You can also raise it to give your legs
more room when you exit and enter
the vehicle.
The steering wheel should be posi‐ tioned 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 thesteering wheel while driving. Youmay lose steering control andcause severe personal injury,death or accidents.
•After adjusting, push the steeringwheel both up and down to be cer‐tain it is locked in position.
To change the steering wheel angle,
pull down the lock release lever (1), ad‐ just the steering wheel to the desired
angle (2) and height (3, if equipped),
then pull up the lock-release lever to lock the steering wheel in place. Be sure
to adjust the steering wheel to the de‐
sired position before driving.

1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (Itwill operate normally when the
moisture has been cleared.)
2. The sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or
the sensor cover is blocked. (It will
operate normally when the materi‐
al is removed or the sensor is no
longer blocked.)
3. Driving on uneven road surfaces (unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, gra‐ dient).
4. Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motorcycle en‐
gines, or truck air brakes) are with‐
in range of the sensor.
5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are within range of the
sensor.
7. The sensor is covered with snow.
8. Trailer towing.
The detecting range may decreasewhen:
1. The sensor is stained with foreign matter such as snow or water. (The

Rear parking assist system
precautions
• The rear parking assist system may not sound consistently depending on
the speed and shapes of the objects detected. • The rear parking assist system may
malfunction if the vehicle bumper
height or sensor installation has been
modified or damaged. Any non-fac‐
tory installed equipment or accesso‐ ries may also interfere with the sen‐
sor performance.
• The sensor may not recognize ob‐ jects less than 30 cm (12 in.) from
the sensor, or it may sense an incor‐
rect distance. Use caution.
• When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water, the sensor
may be inoperative until the stains
are removed using a soft cloth.
• Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damage could occur.
NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors; It can not detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim objects,

The safety features of an ABS (orESC) equipped vehicle should not betested by high speed driving or cor‐nering. This could endanger thesafety of yourself or others.
The ABS 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.

Compact spare tire replacement (if
equipped)
A compact spare tire has a shortertread life than a regular size tire. Re‐
place it when you can see the tread
wear indicator bars on the tire. The re‐ placement compact spare tire should be
the same size and design tire as the
one provided with your new vehicle and
should be mounted on the same com‐ pact spare tire wheel. The compact
spare tire is not designed to be moun‐
ted on a regular size wheel, and the compact spare tire wheel is not de‐
signed for mounting a regular size tire.
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 sizemay adversely affect wheel andbearing life, braking and stoppingabilities, handling characteristics,ground clearance, body-to-tire
(Continued)
(Continued)
clearance, snow chain clearance,speedometer and odometer calibra‐tion, headlight aim and bumperheight.
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. Slow down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on
the road to reduce the possibility of
losing control of the vehicle.
Tire maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease tire wear. If you find a tire is worn uneven‐
ly, have a professional workshop check
the wheel alignment. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This will increase vehicle ride comfort and tire
life. Additionally, a tire should always
be rebalanced if it is removed from the wheel.
Tire sidewall labeling
This information identifies and de‐
scribes 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 re‐
call.
