Safety features of your vehicle
In an angled collision, the force ofimpact may direct the occupants in a direction where the air bags
would not be able to provide anyadditional benefit, and thus the
sensors may not deploy any air
bags. Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"under-ride" situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “under-ride” colli-
sions. Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air
bag deployment would not provideadditional occupant protection.
✽✽ NOTICE - For Europe
However, if equipped with side and
curtain air bags, the air bags may
inflate in a rollover, when it is
detected by the rollover sensor.
✽
✽ NOTICE - Except Europe
However, side and/or curtain 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 curtain air bags.

Inside rearview mirror
Adjust the rearview mirror so that the
center view through the rear window
is seen. Make this adjustment before
you start driving.Day/night rearview mirror
(if equipped)
Make this adjustment before you
start driving and while the day/night
lever is in the day position (1).
Pull the day/night lever toward you (2) to reduce the glare from the
headlights of the vehicles behind you
during night driving.
Remember that you lose somerearview clarity in the night position.
Electrochromic mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automat- ically controls the glare from the
headlights of the vehicles behind you
in nighttime or low light driving condi-
tions. The sensor mounted in the mir-
ror senses the light level around the
vehicle, and automatically controls
the headlight glare from the vehicles
behind you.
When the engine is running, the glare
is automatically controlled by the sen-
sor mounted in the rearview mirror.
MIRRORS
WARNING -
Rear visibility
Do not place objects in the rear
seat or cargo area which would
interfere with your vision
through the rear window.
OHM048037WARNING
Do not adjust the rearview mir-
ror while the vehicle is moving.This could result in loss of con-
trol, and an accident which
could cause death, serious
injury or property damage.
WARNING
Do not modify the inside mirror
and don’t install a wide mirror. It
could result in injury, during an
accident or deployment of the
air bag.

Features of your vehicle
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 sys- tem and it is not intended to nor does
it replace the need for extreme care
and attention of the driver. The sens-
ing range and objects detectable by
the back sensors 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.Operation of the rear parking assist system
Operating condition
This system will activate when the
indicator on the rear parking assist
OFF button is not illuminated. If
you desire to deactivate the rear
parking assist system, press the
rear parking assist OFF button
again. (The indicator on the button
will illuminate.) To turn the system
on, press the button again. (The
indicator on the button will go off.)
This system will activate when backing up with the ignition switchON.
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 clos-
est one will be recognized first.
REAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
The rear parking assist system
is a supplementary function
only. The operation of the rearparking assist system can be
affected by several factors
(including environmental condi-
tions). It is the responsibility of
the driver to always check the
area behind the vehicle before
and while backing up.

Non-operational conditions of rear parking assist system The rear parking assist system
may not operate properly when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It
will 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,
gradient).
4. Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes)
are within 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 decrease when:
1. The sensor is stained with foreign
matter such as snow or water.
(The sensing range will return to
normal when removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2. Objects which tend to absorb the sensor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 in.) in height and narrower
than 14 cm (6 in.) in diameter.
✽✽ NOTICE
The indicator may differ from the
illustration as objects or sensors sta-
tus.
If the indicator blinks, we recom-
mend that the system be checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.
When an object is 120 cm
to 60 cm (47 in. to 24 in.)
from the rear bumper:
Buzzer beeps intermittently. When an object is 60 cm to
30 cm (24 in. to 12 in.) from
the rear bumper:
Buzzer beeps more frequently. When an object is within 30 cm (12 in.) of the rear
bumper:
Buzzer sounds continuously.

Rear parking assist system precautions
The rear parking assist systemmay not sound consistently depending on the speed andshapes of the objects detected.
The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle bumperheight or sensor installation has
been modified or damaged. Any
non-factory installed equipment or
accessories may also interfere with
the sensor performance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 40 cm (15 in.)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect 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 softcloth.
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,
such as poles or objects located
between sensors may not be detected
by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the
vehicle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.WARNING
Pay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to
objects on the road, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children. Be aware that some
objects may not be detected by
the sensors, due to the object’s
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor. Always per-
form a visual inspection to
make sure the vehicle is clear of
all obstructions before moving
the vehicle in any direction.

The parking assist system assists
the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object issensed within the distance of 100 cm(39 in.) in front and 120 cm (47 in.)
behind the vehicle.This system is a supplemental sys-tem and it is not intended to nor does
it replace the need for extreme care
and attention of the driver.
The sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are limit-
ed. Whenever moving pay as muchattention to what is in front and
behind of you as you would in a vehi-
cle without a parking assist system.
Operation of the parking assist system
Operating condition
This system activates when the
parking assist system button is
pressed with the ignition switch ON.
The indicator of the parking assist system button turns on automati-
cally and activates the parking
assist system when you shift the
gear to the R (Reverse) position. It
will turn off automatically when you
drive above 20 km/h (12.4 mph).
PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
The parking assist system
should only be considered as a
supplementary function. The
driver must check the front and
rear view. The operational func-tion of the parking assist system
can be affected by many factors
and conditions of the surround-
ings, so the responsibility rests
always with the driver.
