To adjust the headlight beam level ac‐
cording to the number of the passen‐ gers and loading weight in the luggage
area, turn the beam leveling switch.
The higher the number of the switch
position, the lower the headlight beam level. Always keep the headlight beam
at the proper leveling position, or head‐
lights may dazzle other road users.
Listed below are the examples of prop‐ er switch settings. For loading condi‐
tions other than those listed below, ad‐
just the switch position so that the beam level may be the nearest as the
condition obtained according to the list.

age to system parts could occur andmay not be covered by your vehiclewarranty.When starting the vehicle in winter,set the wiper switch in the off posi‐tion. Otherwise, wipers may operateand ice may damage the windshieldwiper blades. Always remove allsnow and ice and defrost the wind‐shield properly prior to operating thewindshield wipers.
Windshield washers (front)
In the O (Off) position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer flu‐ id on the windshield and to run the wip‐
ers 1-3 cycles.
Use this function when the windshield
is dirty.
The spray and wiper operation will con‐ tinue until you release the lever.
If the washer does not work, check the
washer fluid level. If the fluid level is
not sufficient, you will need to add ap‐ propriate non-abrasive windshield
washer fluid to the washer reservoir.
The reservoir filler neck is located in
the front of the engine compartment on the passenger side.
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to thewasher pump, do not operate thewasher when the fluid reservoir isempty.
WARNING
Do not use the washer in freezingtemperatures without first warmingthe windshield with the defrosters;the washer solution could freeze onthe windshield and obscure your vi‐sion.
CAUTION
•To prevent possible damage to thewipers or windshield, do not oper‐ate the wipers when the wind‐shield is dry.
•To prevent damage to the wiperblades, do not use gasoline, kero‐sene, paint thinner, or other sol‐vents on or near them.

Operation Tips
• To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from entering the vehicle through the
ventilation system, temporarily set the air intake control to the recircula‐
ted air position. Be sure to return the
control to the fresh air position when
the irritation has passed to keep
fresh air in the vehicle. This will help the driver to stay alert and comfort‐
able. • Air for the heating/cooling system is
drawn in through the grilles just
ahead of the windshield. Care should
be taken that these are not blocked by leaves, snow, ice or other obstruc‐
tions.
• To prevent interior fog on the wind‐ shield, set the air intake control to
the fresh air position and fan speed to the desired position, turn on the
air conditioning system, and adjust
the temperature control to the de‐
sired temperature.
Air conditioning
Kia Air Conditioning Systems are filled
with environmentally friendly refriger‐
ant *
.
1. Start the engine. Push the air con‐ ditioning button.
2. Set the mode to the
position.
* Your vehicle is filled with R-134a or
R-1234yf according to the regula‐tion in your country at the time of
producing. You can find out which air
conditioning refrigerant is applied
your vehicle at the label inside of en‐
gine room. Refer to L

3. Set the air intake control to theoutside air or recirculated air posi‐
tion.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
CAUTION
•The refrigerant system should on‐ly be serviced by trained and certi‐fied technicians to insure properand safe operation.
•The refrigerant system should beserviced in a well-ventilated place.
•The air conditioning evaporator(cooling coil) shall never be re‐paired or replaced with one re‐moved from a used or salvagedvehicle and new replacement MACevaporators shall be certified (andlabeled) as meeting SAE StandardJ2842.
NOTICE
•When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the temperature
gauge closely while driving up hills
or in heavy traffic when outside
temperatures are high. Air condi‐
tioning system operation may
cause engine overheating. Contin‐
ue to use the blower fan but turn
the air conditioning system off if
the temperature gauge indicates
engine overheating.
•When opening the windows in hu‐
mid weather air conditioning may
create water droplets inside the
vehicle. Since excessive water
droplets may cause damage to
electrical equipment, air condition‐
ing should only be used with the
windows closed.
Air conditioning system operation tips
• If the vehicle has been parked in di‐ rect sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time to let the hot air inside the vehicle es‐
cape. • To help reduce moisture inside of the
windows on rainy or humid days, de‐
crease the humidity inside the vehicle
by operating the air conditioning sys‐ tem.
• During air conditioning system opera‐ tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation characteristic.
• Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes to en‐
sure maximum system performance.
• When using the air conditioning sys‐ tem, you may notice clear waterdripping (or even puddling) on the
ground under the passenger side of
the vehicle. This is a normal system
operation characteristic.
• Operating the air conditioning system in the recirculated air position pro‐vides maximum cooling, however,
continual operation in this mode may
cause the air inside the vehicle to be‐
come stale.
• During cooling operation, you may oc‐ casionally notice a misty air flow be‐
cause of rapid cooling and humid air
intake. This is a normal system oper‐
ation characteristic.
