Engine coolant temperature gauge 
This gauge shows the temperature of the 
engine coolant when the ignition switchis ON. 
Do not continue driving with an overheat- 
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer
to “If the engine overheats” in section 6. Manual transaxle shift  indicator  
This indicator informs you which gear is
desired whilst driving to save fuel. 
For example
: Indicates that shifting up to the 3rdgear is desired (currently the shift 
lever is in the 2nd or 1st gear).
: Indicates that shifting down to the 3rd gear is desired (currently the
shift lever is in the 4th or 5th gear).
OJD042236R/OJD042237R
CAUTION
If the gauge pointer moves beyond
the normal range area toward the
“130°C” position, it indicates over-heating that may damage the engine.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap 
when the engine is hot. The enginecoolant is under pressure and
could cause severe burns. Wait
until the engine is cool before
adding coolant to the reservoir.

Features of your vehicle
Engine coolant tempera-ture warning light(if equipped)
The warning light illuminates if the tem- 
perature of the engine coolant is above120±3°C (248±5.4°F). 
Do not continue driving with an overheat- 
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer
to “Overheating” in section 6.
✽✽ NOTICE
If the engine coolant temperature warn- ing light illuminates, it indicates over-heating that may damage the engine.
Glow indicator  (Diesel engine)
The indicator light illuminates when the 
ignition switch is placed at the ON posi-
tion. The engine can be started after the
preheat indicator light goes off. The illu-
minating time varies with the water tem-
perature, air temperature and batterycondition.
✽✽ NOTICE
If the engine does not start within 10 
seconds after the preheating is complet-
ed, turn the ignition key once more to
the LOCK/OFF position for 10 seconds,
and then to the ON position, in order to
preheat again.
Fuel filter warning light (Diesel engine)
This warning light illuminates for 3 sec- 
onds after the ignition switch is set to the
ON position and then it will go out. If it
lights up whilst the engine is running, it
indicates that water has accumulated
inside the fuel filter. If this happens,
remove the water from the fuel filter. 
For more details, refer to “Fuel filter” in section 7.
CAUTION
If the preheat indicator light contin-ues to illuminate or flash on and off after the engine has warmed up orwhilst driving, we recommend that
the system be checked by an autho- rised Kia dealer.
CAUTION
When the fuel filter warning lightilluminates, engine power (vehiclespeed & idle speed) may decrease. If you keep driving with the warning
light on, you can damage your vehi-cle's engine parts and injection sys- tem of the Common Rail. If thisoccurs, we recommend that the
system be checked by an autho-rised Kia dealer.

ror(s), and outside lights are clean.
 Check the condition of the tyres. 
 Check under the vehicle for any sign of leaks.
 Be sure there are no obstacles behind you if you intend to back up. Necessary inspections   
Fluid levels, such as engine oil, engine 
coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid
should be checked on a regular basis,
with the exact interval depending on the
fluid. Further details are provided in sec-
tion 7, “Maintenance”.
Before starting  
 Close and lock all doors. 
 Position the seat so that all controls are
easily reached.
 Adjust the inside and outside rearview mirrors.
 Be sure that all lights work.
 Check all gauges.
 Check the operation of warning lights when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
 Release the parking brake and make sure the brake warning light goes out.
For safe operation, be sure you are famil-
iar with your vehicle and its equipment.
BEFORE DRIVING
WARNING
All passengers must be properly 
belted whenever the vehicle is mov-
ing. Refer to “Seat belts” in section
3 for more information on their
proper use.
WARNING
Always check the surrounding areas 
near your vehicle for people, espe-
cially children, before putting a vehi-
cle  into “D  (Drive)” or “R  (Reverse)”.
WARNING
Driving whilst distracted can result 
in a loss of vehicle control, that
may lead to an accident, severe
personal injury, and death. The dri-
ver’s primary responsibility is in
the safe and legal operation of a
vehicle, and use of any handheld
devices, other equipment, or vehi-
cle systems which take the driver’s
eyes, attention and focus away
from the safe operation of a vehicle
or which are not permissible by law
should never be used during oper-
ation of the vehicle.

Active ECO operation 
Active ECO helps improve fuel efficiency 
by controlling the engine and transaxle.
But fuel-efficiency can be changed by the
driver's driving habits and road conditions. 
 When the Active ECO button is
pressed the ECO indicator (green) will 
illuminate to show that the Active ECO
is operating.
 When the Active ECO is activated, it does not turn off even though the
engine is restarted again. To turn off
the system, press the active ECO but-ton again.
 If Active ECO is turned off, it will return to the normal mode. When Active ECO is activated : 
 The acceleration may slightly be
reduced eventhough you depress the 
accelerator fully.
 The air conditioner performance may be limited.
 The shift pattern of the automatic transaxle may change.
 The engine noise may get louder. 
The above situations are normal condi- 
tions when the active eco system is acti-
vated to improve fuel efficiency. Limitation of Active ECO opera- tion: 
If the following conditions occur whilst 
Active ECO is operating, the system
operation is limited even though there is
no change in the ECO indicator. 
 When the coolant temperature is low:
The system will be limited until engine 
performance becomes normal.
 When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain power when drivinguphill because the engine torque is
restricted.
 When using sports mode: The system will be limited according to the shiftlocation.
 When the accelerator pedal is deeply pressed for a few seconds: The system
will be limited, judging that the driver
wants to speed up.

Driving in flooded areas   
Avoid driving through flooded areas 
unless you are sure the water is no high-
er than the bottom of the wheel hub.
Drive through any water slowly. Allowadequate stopping distance because
brake performance may be affected.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times whilst the vehicle is moving slowly. 
Driving off-road 
Drive carefully off-road because your 
vehicle may be damaged by rocks or
roots of trees. Become familiar with the
off-road conditions where you are going
to drive before you begin driving. Highway driving
Tyres 
Adjust the tyre inflation pressures to 
specification. Low tyre inflation pressures
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 infla- 
tion pressure shown on the tyres.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
High speed travel consumes more fuel 
than urban motoring. Do not forget to
check both engine coolant and engineoil.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may result 
in overheating of the engine.
WARNING
 Underinflated or overinflated tyres can cause poor handling, 
loss of vehicle control, and sud-den tyre failure leading to acci-
dents, injuries, and even death.
Always check the tyres for proper
inflation before driving. For prop-
er tyre pressures, refer to section
8, “Tyres and wheels”.
(Continued)
(Continued) 
 Driving on tyres with no or insuf-ficient tread is dangerous. Worn- out tyres can result in loss of
vehicle control, 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 further information
and tread limits, refer to section
7, “Tyres and wheels”.
