Automatic adjustment (if equipped)
The driver’s seat can be adjusted by
using the control switches located on the
outside of the seat cushion. Before driv-ing, adjust the seat to the proper position
so as to easily control the steering wheel,
pedals and switches on the instrumentpanel.
Forward and rearward
1. Push the control switch forward orrearward to move the seat to the desired position.
2. Release the switch once the seat reaches the desired position.
WARNING
The power seat is operable with the
ignition OFF.
Therefore, children should never be
left unattended in the car.
CAUTION
 The power seat is driven by an electric motor. Stop operating
once the adjustment is complet- ed. Excessive operation maydamage the electrical equipment.
 When in operation, the power seat consumes a large amount ofelectrical power. To preventunnecessary charging system drain, don’t adjust the power seat
longer than necessary whilst the engine is not running.
 Do not operate two or more power seat control switches at the same
time. Doing so may result inpower seat motor or electrical component malfunction.

Features of your vehicle
Electronic power steering
Power steering uses the motor 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.
The electronic power steering is con-
trolled by the power steering control unit
which senses the steering wheel torque
and vehicle speed to command the
motor.
The steering effort becomes heavier as
the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s speed
decreases for better control of the steer-ing wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend that
the system be checked by an authorised
Kia dealer.✽✽NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur dur- ing normal vehicle operation:

441
Features of your vehicle
Comfort mode
The steering wheel becomes lighter. The
comfort mode is usually used when driv-
ing in downtown or parking the vehicle.
Also, the comfort mode helps to drive
easily with lower effort to steer the car.
Sport mode
The steering wheel becomes heavier.
The sport mode is usually used when
driving in highway.
CAUTION
 For your safety, if you press thesteering mode button whilst oper-
ating the steering wheel, the LCDdisplay will change, but the steer-ing effort will not change immedi- ately. After operating the steering
wheel, the steering effort will change automatically to theselected mode.
 Be careful when changing the steering mode whilst driving.
 When the electronic power steer- ing is not working properly, theflex steering wheel will not work.

Electronic Power Steering(EPS) system warning light(if equipped)
This indicator light comes on after the
ignition key is turned to the ON position
and then it will go off in approximately 3
seconds if there is no problem with EPS. This light also comes on when the EPS
has some problems. If it comes on whilst
driving, we recommend that the system
be checked by an authorised Kia dealer.
Turn signal indicator lights
The blinking green arrows on the instru-
ment panel show the direction indicated
by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on
but does not blink, blinks more rapidly
than normal, or does not illuminate at all,
a malfunction in the turn signal system is
indicated. Your dealer should be consult-
ed for repairs.
Light on indicator
The indicator illuminates when the tail lights or headlights are ON.
Low Beam Indicator Light
(if equipped)
This indicator light illuminates when the headlights are on.
High beam indicator
This indicator illuminates when the head- lights are on and in the high beam posi-
tion or when the turn signal lever is pulled

Driving your vehicle
Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
In the event that the power-assisted
brakes lose power because of a stalled
engine or some other reason, you can
still stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than you nor-
mally would. The stopping distance, how-
ever, will be longer.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially depleted
each time the brake pedal is applied. Do
not pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when neces-
sary to maintain steering control on slip-
pery surfaces.BRAKE SYSTEM (Continued)
 Always, confirm the position of
the brake and accelerator pedal
before driving. If you don't checkthe position of the accelerator
and brake pedal before driving,
you may depress the accelerator
instead of the brake pedal. It maycause a serious accident.WARNING - Brakes
 Do not drive with your foot rest- ing on the brake pedal. This will create abnormal high brake tem-
peratures, excessive brake lining
and pad wear, and increasedstopping distances.
 When descending a long or steep hill, shift to a lower gear and
avoid continuous application of
the brakes. Continuous brakeapplication will cause the brakes
to overheat and could result in a
temporary loss of braking per-
formance.
 Wet brakes may impair the vehi- cle’s ability to sefely slow down;
the vehicle may also pull to oneside when the brakes are applied.
Applying the brakes lightly will
indicate whether they have been
affected in this way. Always test
your brakes in this fashion after
driving through deep water. To
dry the brakes, apply them lightly
whilst maintaining a safe forward
speed until brake performancereturns to normal.

Vehicle stability management (VSM) (if equipped)
This system provides further enhance-
ments to vehicle stability and steering
responses when a vehicle is driving on a
slippery road or a vehicle detected
changes in coefficient of friction between
right wheels and left wheels when brak-ing.
VSM operation
When the VSM is operating:
 ESC (Electronic Stability Control) ( )light will blink.
 The steering wheel may be controlled.
When the vehicle stability management
is operating properly, you can feel a slight
pulsation in the vehicle. This is only the
effect of brake control and indicates noth-
ing unusual.
The VSM does not operate when:
 Driving on bank road such as gradient or incline
 Driving rearward
 ESC OFF indicator light ( ) remains on the instrument cluster
 EPS (Electronic Power Steering) indi- cator light remains on the instrument cluster
VSM operation off
If you press the ESC OFF button to turn
off the ESC, the VSM will also cancel and
the ESC OFF indicator light ( ) illumi-
nates.
To turn on the VSM, press the button
again. The ESC OFF indicator light goesout.
Malfunction indicator
The VSM can be deactivated even if you
don’t cancel the VSM operation by press-
ing the ESC OFF button. It indicates thata malfunction has been detected some-
where in the EPS (Electronic Power
Steering) system or VSM system. If the
ESC indicator light ( ) or EPS warning
light remains on, we recommend that the
system be checked by an authorised Kia
dealer.
