ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many kilometers (miles) you can get
from a litre (gallon) of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as pos-
sible, use the following driving sug-
gestions to help save money in bothfuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Do not make "jack-
rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts
and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Do not race between stop-
lights. Try to adjust your speed to
the traffic so you do not have to
change speeds unnecessarily.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway,
is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption. Do not "ride" the brake or clutch
pedal. This can increase fuel con-
sumption and also increase wear
on these components. In addition,
driving with your foot resting on the
brake pedal may cause the brakes
to overheat, which reduces their
effectiveness and may lead to
more serious consequences.
Take care of your tyres. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary tyre wear. Check the tyrepressures at least once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper align-
ment can result from hitting kerbs
or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes
faster tyre wear and may also
result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption. Keep your vehicle in good condi-
tion. For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain your vehicle in accordance
with the maintenance schedule. If
you drive your vehicle in severe
conditions, more frequent mainte-nance is required.
Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi- mum service, your vehicle should
be kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be
allowed to accumulate on the
underside of the vehicle. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute tocorrosion.
Travel lightly. Do not carry unnec- essary weight in your vehicle.
Weight reduces fuel economy.
Do not let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.

Highway driving
Tyres
Adjust the tyre inflation pressures to
specification. Low tyre inflation pres-
sures will result in overheating and
possible failure of the tyres.
Avoid using worn or damaged tyres
which may result in reduced traction
or tyre failure.
✽✽NOTICE
Never exceed the maximum tyre
inflation pressure shown on the
tyres.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
High speed travel consumes more
fuel than urban motoring. Do not for-
get to check both engine coolant andengine oil.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
result in overheating of the engine.
WARNING
Underinflated or overinflated tyres can cause poor han-
dling, loss of vehicle control,
and sudden tyre failure lead-
ing to accidents, injuries, and
even death. Always check the
tyres for proper inflation
before driving. For proper tyre
pressures, refer to chapter 9,
“Tyres and wheels”.
Driving on tyres with no or insufficient tread is danger-
ous. Worn-out tyres can
result in loss of vehicle con-
trol, collisions, injury, and
even death. Worn-out tyresshould be replaced as soon
as possible and should never
be used for driving. Always
check the tyre tread before
driving your vehicle. For fur-
ther information and tread
limits, refer to chapter 8,
“Tyres and wheels”.

What to do in an emergency
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (IF EQUIPPED)
Low tyre pressure telltale / TPMS malfunction indicator Each tyre, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthlywhen cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-ard or tyre inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tyres of a differ-
ent size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tyre inflation
pressure label, you should determine
the proper tyre inflation pressure for
those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tyrepressure telltale when one or more
of your tyres is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tyre pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tyres as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-nificantly under-inflated tyre causes
the tyre to overheat and can lead to
tyre failure. Under-inflation alsoreduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling and stopping ability.Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-bility to maintain correct tyre pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tyre pressure
telltale.

WARNING - Diesel Engine
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30seconds after shutting off
engine. High-pressure pump,
rail, injectors and high-pressurepipes are subject to high pres-
sure even after the engine
stopped. The fuel jet produced by
fuel leaks may cause serious
injury, if it touches the body.
People using pacemakers
should not move than 30cm clos-er to the ECU or wiring harness
within the engine room whilst
engine is running, since the high
currents in the electronic engine
control system produce consid-
erable magnetic fields.CAUTION
Do not put heavy objects or apply excessive force on top ofthe engine cover (if equipped)or fuel related parts.
When you inspect the fuel sys- tem (fuel lines and fuel injec-tion devices), contact a profes- sional workshop. Kia recom-mends to visit an authorisedKia dealer/service partner.
Do not drive long time with the engine cover (if equipped)removed.
When checking the engine room, do not go near fire.
Fuel, washer fluid, etc. areflammable oils that may causefire.
Before touching the battery, ignition cables and electricalwiring, you should disconnect the battery "-" terminal. Youmay get an electric shockfrom the electric current.
(Continued)
(Continued) When you remove the interior trim cover with a flat head (-)driver, be careful not to dam-age the cover.
Be careful when you replace and clean bulbs to avoidburns or electrical shock.

Maintenance
OWNER MAINTENANCE
The following lists are vehicle checks and inspections that should be per-
formed at the frequencies indicated
to help ensure safe, dependable
operation of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your deal-
er as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance Checks
are generally not covered by war-
ranties and you may be charged for
labor, parts and lubricants used. Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
Check the engine oil level.
Check coolant level in coolant
reservoir.
Check the windscreen washer fluid level.
Look for low or under-inflated tyres.
Check the radiator and condenser. Check if the front of the radiator and condenser are clean and not
blocked with leaves, dirt or insectsetc.
If any of the above parts are
extremely dirty or you are not sure
of their condition, contact a profes-
sional workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
Whilst operating your vehicle:
Note any changes in the sound ofthe exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.
Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steer-
ing effort or looseness in the steer-
ing wheel, or change in its straight-ahead position.
Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when travelling on smooth, levelroad.
When stopping, listen and check for unusual sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or “hard-to-push” brake pedal.
If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transaxle occurs,
check the transaxle fluid level.
Check manual transaxle operation, including clutch operation.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. Scalding hot
coolant and steam may blow out
under pressure. This could cause
burns or other serious injury.

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Engine oil and filter The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in
the maintenance schedule. If the car
is being driven in severe conditions,more frequent oil and filter changesare required. Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil
saturation and replace if necessary.
Drive belts should be checked peri-
odically for proper tension and
adjusted as necessary. Fuel filter cartridge (for diesel) A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven,damage the emission system and
cause multiple issues such as hard
starting. If an excessive amount of for-
eign matter accumulates in the fuel
tank, the filter may require replace-
ment more frequently. After installing
a new filter, run the engine for several
minutes, and check for leaks at the
connections. Have the fuel filter
replaced by a professional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.
Fuel filter (for petrol)
Kia petrol vehicle is equipped a life-
time fuel filter that integrated with the
fuel tank. Regular maintenance or
replacement is not needed but
depends on fuel quality. If there are
some important safety matters like
fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of
power, hard starting problem etc, fuelfilter inspection or replace is needed.
Have the fuel filter inspected or
replaced by a professional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con- nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and dam-
age. Have the fuel lines, fuel hoses
and connections replaced by a pro-
fessional workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorised Kia dealer/serv-
ice partner.
WARNING -
Diesel only
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30seconds after shutting off
engine. High pressure pump,
rail, injectors and high pressurepipes are subject to high pres-
sure even after the engine
stopped. The fuel jet produced
by fuel leaks may cause serious
injury, if it touch the body. People
using pacemakers should not
move more than 30cm closer tothe ECU or wiring harness with-
in the engine room whilst engine
is running, since the high cur-rents in the Common Rail sys-
tem produce considerable mag-netic fields.
CAUTION
When you are inspecting the belt, place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF or ACCposition.

TYRES AND WHEELS
Tyre care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tyre
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle. Recommended cold tyre infla- tion pressures All tyre pressures (including the
spare) should be checked when the
tyres are cold. “Cold Tyres” means
the vehicle has not been driven for at
least three hours or driven less than1.6 km (1 mile).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, top vehi-
cle handling, and minimum tyre wear.
For recommended inflation pressure
refer to “Tyre and wheels” in chapter 9. All specifications (sizes and pres-
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the vehicle.
ORP082004R
WARNING -
Tyre underin- flation
Severe underinflation (70 kPa (10 psi) or more) can lead to
severe heat build-up, causing
blowouts, tread separation andother tyre failures that can
result in the loss of vehicle con-
trol leading to severe injury or
death. This risk is much higher
on hot days and when driving
for long periods at high speeds.
CAUTION
Underinflation also results in excessive wear, poor handlingand reduced fuel economy. Wheel deformation also is pos-sible. Keep your tyre pressuresat the proper levels. If a tyre fre- quently needs refilling, havethe system checked by a pro-fessional workshop. Kia recom- mends to visit an authorisedKia dealer/service partner.
Overinflation produces a harsh ride, excessive wear atthe centre of the tyre tread, and a greater possibility ofdamage from road hazards.
