Floor mat anchor (s)
(if equipped)
When using a floor mat on the front
floor carpet, make sure it attaches to
the floor mat anchor(s) in your vehi-
cle. This keeps the floor mat from
sliding forward.The following must be observed
when installing ANY floor mat to the
vehicle.
Ensure that the floor mats are
securely attached to the vehicle's
floor mat anchor(s) before driving
the vehicle.
Do not use ANY floor mat that can- not be firmly attached to the vehi-
cle's floor mat anchors.
Do not stack floor mats on top of one another (e.g. all-weather rub-
ber mat on top of a carpeted floor
mat). Only a single floor mat should
be installed in each position.
Side curtain (if equipped)
To use the side curtain:
1. Lift the curtain by the handle (1).
2. Hang the curtain on the hooks on both sides of the handle.
To avoid injury or damage to the side
curtain and door moldings, lower

Driving your vehicle
The EPB warning light may illumi-nate if the EPB switch operates
abnormally. Shut the engine off
and turn it on again after a few min-
utes. The warning light will go off
and the EPB switch will operate
normally. However, if the EPB
warning light is still on, have the
system checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.
If the parking brake warning light does not illuminate or blinks even
though the EPB switch was pulled
up, the EPB is not applied.
If the parking brake warning light blinks when the EPB warning light
is on, press the EPB button, then
pull it up. Once more press it back
to its original position and pull it
back up. If the EPB warning does
not go off, have the system
checked by an authorized Kia deal-
er.Emergency braking
If there is a problem with the brake
pedal while driving, emergency brak-
ing is possible by pulling up and
holding the EPB switch. Braking is
possible only while you are holding
the EPB switch.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
During emergency braking by the
EPB, the parking brake warning
light will illuminate to indicate that
the system is operating.
If you notice a continuous noise or
burning smell when the EPB is used
for emergency braking, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
When the EPB (electronic parking
brake) is not released
If the EPB does not release normal-
ly, take your vehicle to an authorized
Kia dealer by loading the vehicle on
a flatbed tow truck and have the sys-
tem checked.WARNING
Do not operate the electronic
parking brake while the vehicle is
moving except in an emergency
situation. Applying the electronic
parking brake while the vehicle is
moving at normal speeds can
cause a sudden loss of control of
the vehicle. If you must use the
electronic parking brake to stop
the vehicle, use great caution in
applying the brake.

- After an engine start, please stop
for several seconds. If system ini-
tialization is not completed, the
smart cruise control system will not
operate.
- After an engine start, if the sensor cover is obscured with foreign sub-
stances, there is a possibility that
the smart cruise control system
may not work.
- The following conditions may cause a malfunction: over-loading
the liftgate, suspension modifica-
tion, tire replacement with unau-
thorized tires or tires with different
tread wear and pressure levels.
- Keep a safe distance according to road conditions and vehicle speed.
If the vehicle to vehicle distance is
too close during a high-speed driv-
ing, a serious collision may result.
- The smart cruise control system cannot recognize a stopped vehi-
cle, pedestrians or an oncoming
vehicle. Always look ahead cau-
tiously to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occurring.
WARNING - Inclines &
Towing
Do not use smart cruise control
system on steep inclines or
when towing another vehicle or
trailer since such extreme load-
ing can interfere with your vehi-
cle's ability to maintain the
selected speed.WARNING
- Safe Use of smart cruise control system
The smart cruise control system
can provide you with an addition-
al level of safety and fatigue
reduction. However you must
maintain careful observation of
the roadway in front and around
you and maintain control of your
vehicle and spacing around
other vehicles as you normally
would. For example, this will
require you to apply the brakes
as needed when coming upon a
slower moving vehicle, or when a
vehicle from another lane drives
quickly in front of you.
WARNING - Emergency Stops
The smart cruise control sys-
tem cannot guarantee the stop
for every emergency situation.
If an emergency stop is neces-
sary, you must apply the brakes.

Driving Style Gauge
Once the SMART MODE is selected
by pressing the DRIVE MODE but-
ton, and the DRIVE MODE indicator
screen is selected by pressing the
trip computer button on the steering
wheel, the driving style gauge bar
will show up at the bottom of screen
and visualize current style of driving. Left poles of the driving style gauge
indicate economic driving in green
color. The more economically you
drive, the more the left poles will
light up in green.
Likewise, the right pole of the driving
style gauge indicates sporty driving
in red color. As the vehicle acceler-
ates, the gauge will move to the right
pole. If the driving style gauge fills up
toward left side (or Economic side)
and is maintained there for a certain
time, the vehicle will be automatical-
ly switch to SMART ECO MODE.
Likewise, when driving style gauge
fills up toward right side and is main-
tained there for a certain time, the
vehicle will be automatically switch
to SMART SPORT MODE.
If you wish to maintain the SMART ECO MODE for better fuel econo-
my, try to maintain economic driv-
ing style and keep the driving style
gauge green.

Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar haz-
ards, follow these suggestions:
Drive cautiously and allow extra
distance for braking.
Avoid sudden braking or steering.
When braking with non-ABS brakes pump the brake pedal with
a light up-and-down motion until
the vehicle is stopped.
Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS. If stalled in snow, mud, or sand,
use the second gear. Accelerate
slowly to avoid spinning the drive
wheels.
Use sand, rock salt, or other non- slip material under the drive
wheels to provide traction when
stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle
to free it from snow, sand, or mud,
first turn the steering wheel right and
left to clear the area around your
front wheels. Then, shift back and
forth between R (Reverse) and any
forward gear in vehicles equipped
with an Automatic Transaxle. Do not
race the engine, and spin the wheels
as little as possible. If you are still
stuck after a few tries, have the vehi-
cle pulled out by a tow vehicle to
avoid engine overheating and possi-
ble damage to the transaxle.
SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
WARNING- Downshifting
Do not downshift with an auto-
matic transaxle while driving on
slippery surfaces. The sudden
change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid and
result in an accident.
WARNING- Sudden
Vehicle Movement
Do not attempt to rock the vehi-
cle if people or objects are near-
by. The vehicle may suddenly
move forward or backwards as it
becomes unstuck.

Driving your vehicle
To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing,
squirt an approved de-icer fluid or
glycerine into the key opening. If a
lock is covered with ice, squirt it with
an approved de-icing fluid to remove
the ice. If the lock is frozen internally,
you may be able to thaw it out by
using a heated key. Handle the heat-
ed key with care to avoid injury.
Use approved window washer
anti-freeze in system
To keep the water in the window
washer system from freezing, add an
approved window washer anti-freeze
solution in accordance with instruc-
tions on the container. Window wash-
er anti-freeze is available from an
authorized Kia dealer and most auto
parts outlets. Do not use engine
coolant or other types of anti-freeze
as these may damage the paint fin-
ish.
Don’t let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to happen
when there is an accumulation of
snow or ice around or near the rear
brakes or if the brakes are wet. If
there is a risk the parking brake may
freeze, apply it only temporarily while
you put the gear shift lever in P
(Park, Automatic Transaxle) and
block the rear wheels so the vehicle
cannot roll. Then release the parking
brake.
Don't let ice and snow accu-
mulate underneath
Under some conditions, snow and
ice can build up under the fenders
and interfere with the steering. When
driving in severe winter conditions
where this may happen, you should
periodically check underneath the
vehicle to be sure the movement of
the front wheels and the steering
components are not obstructed.
Carry emergency equipment
Depending on the severity of the
weather, you should carry appropri-
ate emergency equipment. Some of
the items you may want to carry
include tow straps or chains, flash-
light, emergency flares, sand, shov-
el, jumper cables, window scraper,
gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, blan-
ket, etc.
TRAILER TOWING
We do not recommend using this
vehicle for trailer towing.
