Automatic operationThe automatic climate control sys-
tem is controlled by simply setting
the desired temperature.
The Full Automatic Temperature
Control (FATC) system automatically
controls the heating and cooling sys-
tem as follows;
1. Push the AUTO button. The indica-tor light will come on and the
modes, fan speeds, air intake and
air-conditioning will be controlled
automatically by temperature set-
ting. 2. Push the TEMP button to set the
desired temperature.
If the temperature is set to the
lowest setting 17°C/62°F (Lo), the
air conditioning system will oper-
ate continuously.
3. To turn the automatic operation off, press any button except tem-
perature control button. If you
press the mode selection button,
air-conditioning button, defrost
button, recirculated air position
button, outside (fresh) air position
button or fan speed button, the
selected function will be controlled
manually while other functions
operate automatically.
Regardless of the temperature set-
ting, when using automatic opera-
tion, the air conditioning system will
automatically turn on to decrease the
humidity inside the vehicle, even if
the temperature is set to warm.
✽ ✽ NOTICENever place anything over the sen-
sor located on the instrument panel
to ensure better control of the heat-
ing and cooling system.

Outside (fresh) air positionThe indicator light on the button is
illuminated when the outside (fresh)
air position button is depressed.
With the outside (fresh) air position
selected, air enters the vehicle from
outside and is heated or cooled
according to the function selected.
When starting the vehicle, the sys-
tem is automatically set to the out-
side (fresh) air position. Press the
button once to select the recirculated
air position.
✽ ✽NOTICEIt should be noted that prolonged
operation of the heating in recircu-
lated air position will cause fogging
of the windshield and side windows
and the air within the passenger
compartment will become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the “recirculated
air position” selected, will result in
excessively dry air in the passenger
compartment.
WARNING
Continued climate control
system operation in the recir-
culated air position may allow
humidity to increase inside
vehicle which may fog the
glass and obscure visibility.
 Do not sleep in a vehicle with
air conditioning or heating
system on. It may cause seri-
ous harm or death due to a
drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.
 Continued climate control
system operation in the
reciruclated air position can
cause drowsiness or sleepi-
ness, and loss of vehicle con-
trol. Set the air intake control
to the outside (fresh) air posi-
tion as much as possible
while driving.

Instrument panel ventsIf air flow control is not satisfactory,
check the instrument panel vents.
The outlet port ( ) can be opened or
closed separately using the vertical
thumbwheel. To close the vent, rotate
it upward to the maximum position.
To open the vent, rotate it downward.
Also, you can adjust the direction of
air delivery from these vents using
vertical or horizontal thumbwheels
as shown.
Air conditioning button Push the A/C button to turn the air
conditioning system on (indicator
light will illuminate).
Push the button again to turn the air
conditioning system off.
OFF buttonPush the OFF button to turn off the
air climate control system. However
you can still operate the mode, air
intake buttons as long as the ignition
switch is ON.

Rear climate control The rear climate control system
allows the rear passengers to adjust
the temperature and airflow distribu-
tion using the control panel located
on the back of the center console,
facing the rear passenger compart-
ment. The rear climate control sys-
tem only operates when the front cli-
mate control system is on and, sup-
plements the functions of the front
climate control system for increased
rear passenger comfort.
Operating the rear climate controlsystemTo operate the rear climate control
system, perform the following:
1. Press the rear climate control selection button in the front control
panel ( ) (the indicator light in
the button illuminates). 2. Turn the temperature control knob
located between the vents on the
rear control panel to adjust the
temperature. Turn the knob up
(RED mark) when warm air is
desired, or down (BLUE mark)
when cool air is desired.

NOTICE• Before performing maintenance
or recharging the battery, turn off
all accessories and stop the engine.
• The negative battery cable must be removed first and installed last
when the battery is disconnected.
WARNING
- Recharging
battery
When recharging the battery,
observe the following precau-
tions:
 The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed in
an area with good ventilation.
 Do not allow cigarettes,
sparks, or flame near the bat-
tery.
 Watch the battery during
charging, and stop or reduce
the charging rate if the battery
cells begin gassing (boiling)
violently or if the temperature
of the electrolyte of any cell
exceeds 49°C (120°F).
 Wear eye protection when
checking the battery during
charging.

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 tempera-
ture performance.
Tread wearThe tread wear grade is a compara-
tive rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified govern-
ment test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one-and-a-
half 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.
Traction - A, B & C The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are 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 repre-
sent the tire’s resistance to the gener-
ation of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified indoor labo-
ratory 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 perform-
ance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by the law.
