Lumbar support (for driver’s seat)
The lumbar support can be adjusted
by moving the lever. Pivoting the
lever increases or decreases lumbar
support.Front seat adjustment - power (if equipped)
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control switches located onthe outside of the seat cushion.
Before driving, adjust the seat to the
proper position so you can easily con-
trol the steering wheel, pedals and
switches on the instrument panel.
OHM038008
WARNING
The power seat is operable with
the ignition OFF.
Therefore, children should never
be left unattended in the vehicle.
CAUTION
The power seat is driven by an electric motor. Stop operatingonce the adjustment is com- pleted. Excessive operationmay damage the electricalequipment.
When in operation, the power seat consumes a large amountof electrical power. To preventunnecessary charging systemdrain, don’t adjust the power seat longer than necessarywhile the engine is not running.
Do not operate two or more power seat control switches atthe same time. Doing so may result in power seat motor orelectrical component malfunc-tion.

Features of your vehicle
Power steering
Power steering uses energy from the
engine to assist you in steering the
vehicle. If the engine is off or if the
power steering system becomes
inoperative, the vehicle may still be
steered, but it will require increased
steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.✽✽NOTICE
If the power steering drive belt
breaks or if the power steering
pump malfunctions, the steering
effort will greatly increase.
✽
✽ NOTICE
If the vehicle is parked for extended
periods o utside in cold weather (below
-10°C(14°F)), the power steering may
require increased effort when the
engine is first started. This is caused by
increased fluid viscosity due to the cold
weather and does not indicate a mal-
function.
When this happens, increase the
engine RPM by depressing the accel-
erator until the RPM reaches 1,500
rpm then release or let the engine idle
for two or three minutes to warm up
the fluid.
Tilt steering
Tilt steering allows you to adjust the
steering wheel before you drive. You
can also raise it to give your legs
more room when you exit and enter
the vehicle.
The steering wheel should be posi-
tioned so that it is comfortable for
you to drive, while permitting you to
see the instrument panel warning
lights and gauges.
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel to
the extreme right or left for morethan 5 seconds with the engine running. Holding the steeringwheel for more than 5 secondsin either position may cause damage to the power steeringpump.
WARNING
Never adjust the angle of the steering wheel while driving.
You may lose steering control
and cause severe personal
injury, death or accidents.
After adjusting, push the steering wheel both up and
down to be certain it is lockedin position.

Distance To Empty (1)
The distance to empty is the esti-
mated distance the vehicle can be
driven with the remaining fuel.
- Distance range: 1~9,999 km or1~9,999 mi.
If the estimated distance is below 1 km (1 mi.), the trip computer will dis-
play "---" as distance to empty.
✽✽ NOTICE
If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been
interrupted, the distance to empty
function may not operate correctly.
The distance to empty may differ from the actual driving distance as
it is an estimate of the available
driving distance.
The trip computer may not regis- ter additional fuel if less than 6
liters (1.6 gallons) of fuel are
added to the vehicle.
The fuel economy and distance to empty may vary significantly based
on driving conditions, driving
habits, and condition of the vehicle.
Average Fuel Economy (2)
The average fuel economy is calcu-lated by the total driving distance and fuel consumption since the last
average fuel economy reset.
- Fuel economy range: 0.0 ~ 99.9L/100km or MPG
The average fuel economy can be reset both manually and automati-
cally.
Manual reset
To clear the average fuel economy
manually, press the OK button
(reset) on the steering wheel for
more than 1 second when the aver-
age fuel economy is displayed. Automatic reset
To make the average fuel economy
be reset automatically whenever
refueling, select the "Fuel economyauto reset" mode in User Setting
menu of the LCD display (Refer to
"LCD Display").
OFF - You may set to default manu-
ally by using the trip switch reset but- ton.
When driving - The vehicle will auto- matically set to default once 4 hours
pass after the Ignition is in OFF.
When refueling - After refueling more than 6 liters and driving over
1km/h, the vehicle will reset to
default automatically.
✽✽ NOTICE
The average fuel economy is not dis-
played for more accurate calculation
if the vehicle does not drive more than
10 seconds or 50 meters (0.03 miles)
since the ignition switch or Engine
Start/Stop button is turned to ON.

Driving your vehicle
Engine power can be delivered to all
front and rear wheels for maximum
traction. 4WD is useful when extra
traction is required on road, such as,
when driving on slippery, muddy,
wet, or snow-covered roads. These
vehicles are not designed for chal-
lenging off-road use. Occasional off-
road use such as established
unpaved roads and trails are OK. It is
always important when traveling off-
highway that the driver carefully
reduces the speed to a level that
does not exceed the safe operating
speed for those conditions. In gener-
al, off-road conditions provide less
traction and braking effectiveness
than normal road conditions. The
driver must be especially alert to
avoid driving on slopes which tilt the
vehicle to either side.
These factors must be carefully con-
sidered when driving off-road. Keeping
the vehicle in contact with the driving
surface and under control in these
conditions is always the driver's
responsibility for the safety of him/her-
self and his or her passengers.FOUR WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING -
Off road driving
This vehicle is designed prima-
rily for on road use although it
can operate effectively off road.
However, it was not designed to
drive in challenging off-road
conditions. Driving in condi-
tions that exceed the vehicle'sintended design or the driver's
experience level may result in
severe injury or death.CAUTION
Do not select four wheel drive on flat and normal roads.
Four-wheel driving on flat roads for a long period causespoor fuel economy and noiseand it also causes tires towear faster.
Four-wheel driving on flat and normal roads can result in asevere binding and chatteringcondition when turning thesteering wheel.
Four-wheel driving on flat roads for a long period canalso cause the differential oiltemperature to increase,resulting in damage to parts in the power train.
