Knowing your vehicle
✽NOTICE
 If luggage or other objects are placed
on the front passenger's seat or if the
temperature of the seat changes while
the seat is unoccupied, the "PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF" indicator may
blink. These conditions do not indi-
cate a problem.
 Do not put heavy objects on the front passenger's seat. This may cause front
passenger air bag deployment in the
event of an accident, thus increasing
your repair costs.WARNING
• The front seat passenger air bag
is much larger than the steering
wheel air bag and inflate s with
considerably more force. It can
seriously hurt or kill a passenger
who is not in the proper po sition
and wearing the safety belt prop-
erly. The front pa ssengers should
always move their seats a s far
back as practical and sit back in
their seats.
• It is e ssential that the front pas-
senger always wear s their safety
belts, even when the vehicle i s
moving in a parking lot or up a
driveway into garage.
• If the driver brakes the vehicle heavily prior to an impact, unbelt-
ed occupants will be thrown for-
ward. If the front pa ssenger is not
wearing a safety belt, he/she will
be directly in front of the storage
compartment when deployment
occur s. In that situation, serious
injur

y or death i s possible.

• Do not modify or replace the frontpassenger seat. This will disable
the OCS unless a proper Kia
replacement seat is used.
• Do not place sharp objects on the
front passenger seat. These can
damage the occupant cla ssifica-
tion system, if they puncture the
seat cushion.
• Do not install accessory seat cov-
er s on the front seats, since these
will interfere with proper sensor
operation.

• Just before impact, drivers often brakeheavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it to
“ride” under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this "under-ride" situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be signifi-
cantly altered by such “under-ride” col-
lisions. • Air bags may not inflate in rollover acci-
dents because air bag deployment
would not provide proper protection to
the occupants.
However, side air bags may inflate
when the vehicle is rolled over by a
side impact collision, if the vehicle is
equipped with side air bags and cur-
tain air bags. • Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area and
the full force of the impact is not ade-
quately delivered to the sensors.

Driving your vehicle

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
monitors information from various vehicle
sensors and then compares the driver's
commands with the actual behavior of
the vehicle. If an unstable condition is
created by the driver - a sudden evasive
movement for example - ESC intervenes
within fractions of a second via the
engine computer and brake system and
attempts to stabilize the vehicle.
ESC operation
ESC ON condition
• When the ignition is turnedON, ESC and ESC OFF indi-
cator lights illuminate for
approximately 3 seconds,
then ESC is turned on.
• Press the ESC OFF button to turn ESC off. (ESC OFF indi-
cator will illuminate). To turn
the ESC on, press the ESC
OFF button (ESC OFF indica-
tor light will go off).
• When starting the engine, you may hear a slight ticking
sound. This is the ESC per-
forming an automatic system
self-check and does not indi-
cate a problem.
When operating
When the ESC is in operation,
ESC indicator light blinks.
• When the Electronic StabilityControl is operating properly,
you can feel a slight pulsation
in the vehicle. This is only the
effect of brake control and
indicates nothing unusual.
• When moving out of the mud or slippery road, pressing the
accelerator pedal may not
cause the engine rpm (revo-
lutions per minute) to
increase.
