REAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
0:#%
The rear parking assist system assists
the driver during backward movement of the vehicle by chiming if any object is
sensed within a distance of 120 cm
(47 in.) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system and it is not intended to nor does it re‐
place the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The sensing range and objects detectable by the
back sensors ( ➀) are limited. Whenever
backing-up, pay as much attention to
what is behind you as you would in a
vehicle without a rear parking assist
system.
WARNING
The rear parking assist system is asupplementary function only. Theoperation of the rear parking assistsystem can be affected by severalfactors (including environmentalconditions). It is the responsibility ofthe driver to always check the areabehind the vehicle before and whilebacking up.
Operation of the rear parking
assist system
Operating condition
• This system will activate when back‐ ing up with the ignition switch ON.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 5 km/h (3 mph), the system may not be activated correctly.
• The sensing distance while the rear parking assist system is in operation
is approximately 120 cm (47 in.).
• When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the closest
one will be recognized first.

•Always check the surroundingareas near your vehicle for people,especially children, before shiftinga car into D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
•Before leaving the driver’s seat, al‐ways make sure the shift lever isin the P (Park) position; then setthe parking brake fully and shutthe engine off. Unexpected andsudden vehicle movement can oc‐cur if these precautions are notfollowed in the order identified.
•Do not use the engine brake (shift‐ing from a high gear to lower gear)rapidly on slippery roads.The vehicle may slip causing an ac‐cident.
CAUTION
•To avoid damage to your trans‐axle, do not accelerate the enginein R (Reverse) or any forward gearposition with the brakes on.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•When stopped on an incline, do nothold the vehicle stationary withengine power.Use the service brake or the park‐ing brake.
•Do not shift from N (Neutral) or P(Park) into D (Drive), or R (Reverse)when the engine is above idlespeed.
Transaxle ranges
The indicator in the instrument cluster
displays the shift lever position when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into P (Park). This position
locks the transaxle and prevents the drive wheels from rotating.
WARNING
•Shifting into P (Park) while the ve‐hicle is in motion will cause thedrive wheels to lock which willcause you to lose control of thevehicle.
•Do not use the P (Park) position inplace of the parking brake. Alwaysmake sure the shift lever is latch‐ed in the P (Park) position and setthe parking brake fully.
•Never leave a child unattended in avehicle.

Disc brakes wear indicator
Your vehicle has disc brakes.
When your brake pads are worn andnew pads are required, you will hear a
high-pitched 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.
CAUTION
•To avoid costly brake repairs, donot continue to drive with wornbrake pads.
•Always replace the front or rearbrake pads as pairs.
WARNING
nBrake wear
(Continued)
(Continued)
This brake wear warning soundmeans your vehicle needs service. Ifyou ignore this audible warning, youwill eventually lose braking perform‐ance, which could lead to a seriousaccident.
Rear drum brakes (if equipped)
Your rear drum brakes do not have
wear indicators. Therefore, have the rear brake linings inspected if you hear
a rear brake rubbing noise. Also have
your rear brakes inspected each time you change or rotate your tires and
when you have the front brakes re‐
placed.
Parking brake
Applying the parking brake
To engage the parking brake, first apply
the foot brake and then pull up the
parking brake lever as far as possible.
In addition it is recommended that when parking the vehicle on a incline,
the shift lever should be in a low gear
on manual transaxle vehicles or in the P (Park) position on automatic transaxle
vehicles.

shop. Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service partner.
NOTICE
•The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 15 km/h (9
mph) on curves.
•The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 30 km/h (18
mph) when a vehicle is braking on
a split-mu road. The split-mu road
is made of surfaces which have
different friction forces.
WARNING
•The Vehicle Stability Managementsystem is not a substitute for safedriving practices but a supplemen‐tary function only. It is the respon‐sibility of the driver to alwayscheck the speed and the distanceto the vehicle ahead. Always holdthe steering wheel firmly whiledriving.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Your vehicle is designed to activateaccording to the driver’s intention,even with installed VSM. Alwaysfollow all the normal precautionsfor driving at safe speeds for theconditions – including driving in‐clement weather and on a slipperyroad.
•Driving with varying tire or wheelsizes may cause the VSM systemto malfunction. When replacingtires, make sure they are thesame size as your original tires.
ESS : Emergency Stop Signal (if
equipped)
The Emergency Stop Signal system
alerts the driver behind by blinking the stop light when the vehicle suddenly
stops or when the ABS activates in a
stop. (The system activates when the vehicle speed is over 55km/h and the
vehicle deceleration is over 7m/s² or the
ABS activates when the vehicle emer‐ gency braking.)
When the vehicle speed is under 40
km/h and the ABS deactivates or the
sudden stop situation is over, the stop light blinking will stop.

CAUTION
The Emergency Stop Signal systemwill not work if the hazard warningflasher is already on.
Good braking practices
WARNING
•Whenever leaving vehicle or park‐ing, always set the parking brakeas far as possible and fully engagethe vehicle's transaxle into thepark position. Vehicles not fully en‐gaged in park with the parkingbrake set are at risk for moving in‐advertently and injuring yourselfor others.
•All vehicles should always have theparking brake fully engaged whenparking to avoid inadvertentmovement of the car which can in‐jure occupants or pedestrians.
• After parking the vehicle, check to besure the parking brake is not engaged
and that the parking brake indicator light is out before driving away. • Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the car is washed. Wet brakes
can be dangerous! Your car will not
stop as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet brakes may cause the car to pull
to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns
to normal, taking care to keep the car
under control at all times. If the brak‐ ing action does not return to normal,
stop as soon as it is safe to do so and
have your vehicle inspected by a pro‐
fessional workshop.
Kia recommends to call an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
• Don't coast down hills with the car out of gear. This is extremely hazard‐
ous. Keep the car in gear at all times,
use the brakes to slow down, then
shift to a lower gear so that engine braking will help you maintain a safe
speed.
• Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting your foot on the brake pedal while
driving can be dangerous because it
can result in the brakes overheating and losing their effectiveness. It also
increases the wear of the brake com‐
ponents. • If a tire goes flat while you are driv‐
ing, apply the brakes gently and keepthe car pointed straight ahead while
you slow down. When you are moving
slowly enough for it to be safe to do
so, pull off the road and stop in a
safe place.
• If your car is equipped with an auto‐ matic transaxle, don't let your car
creep forward. To avoid creeping for‐
ward, keep your foot firmly on the
brake pedal when the car is stopped.
• Be cautious when parking on a hill. Firmly engage the parking brake andplace the shift lever in P (Park). If
your car is facing downhill, turn the
front wheels into the curb to help
keep the car from rolling. If your car is facing uphill, turn the front wheels
away from the curb to help keep the
car from rolling. If there is no curb or
if it is required by other conditions to
keep the car from rolling, block the wheels.

• If the low pressure light is illumina‐ted.
• If the suspension or ABS has been re‐ placed.
CAUTION
If the system is set without adjust‐ing tire pressure, false alarm couldoccur or the telltale will not be dis‐played even though the vehicle issignificantly under-inflated.Make sure all tires are properly ad‐justed to the recommended pressurewhen setting.If the system is not set even in re‐quired situations, false alarm couldoccur or the telltale will not be dis‐played even though the vehicle issignificantly under-inflated.The system will not be set if youpress the SET switch (2) while driv‐ing. Make sure to stop the vehicleand press the switch (2) for over 3seconds.•Be sure the tire is cold before in‐flating the pressure.A cold tire means the vehicle hasbeen sitting for 3 hours or drivenwithin 1.6km (1mile).
Indication of Low Tire Pressure
0:#-
The () warning light will illuminate
when an under-inflated tire is indica‐ ted. In certain types, the above mes‐
sage might be displayed on the cluster.
If the warning light illuminates, reduce
your speed, avoid hard cornering and rapid braking. Have your vehicle inspec‐
ted by a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Check the pressure of all tires and in‐
flate to the proper pressure according
to procedures, and if required, replace or repair the tires. If you cannot reach a close service sta‐
tion, stop the vehicle at a safe place,
check all tires and operate the TPMS setting procedure. If you are unable to
adjust the tire pressure, use the repair
tools to repair or change to spare tire and contact a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to call an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
You may not be able to identify low tire
pressure visually. Use precise tools to measure and adjust tire pressure.
Please note that a tire that is hot due
to prolonged driving, therefore will have high pressure. We recommend you to
measure and adjust the tire pressure
after the vehicle has driven for less than 1.6 km (1 mile) within 3 hours.
CAUTION
•The indicator may remain illumina‐ted after changing to a spare tire,because radius of spare tire is dif‐ferent. Be sure to change to a reg‐ular tire.
