Malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) (check engine light)
This indicator light is part of the Engine
Control System which monitors various
emission control system components. If
this light illuminates whilst driving, it indi-
cates that a potential problem has been
detected somewhere in the emissioncontrol system.This light will also illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, and will go out in a few seconds
after the engine is started. If it illuminates
whilst driving, or does not illuminate
when the ignition key is turned to the ON
position, we recommend that the system
be checked by an authorised Kia dealer.
Generally, your vehicle will continue to be
drivable, but we recommend that the sys-
tem be checked by an authorised Kia
dealer.
CAUTION
Prolonged driving with the EmissionControl System Malfunction
Indicator Light illuminated maycause damage to the emission con- trol systems which could effect dri-vability and/or fuel economy.
CAUTION - Petrol engine
If the Emission Control SystemMalfunction Indicator Light illumi-nates, potential catalytic converter damage is possible which could
result in loss of engine power. We recommend that the system beinspected by an authorised Kia
dealer.
CAUTION - Diesel engine
(if equipped with DPF)
When the malfunction indicator light blinks, it may stop blinking
after driving the vehicle at more than 60km/h (37 mph) or at morethan second gear with 1500 ~ 2000engine rpm for a certain time (for
about 25 minutes).
If the malfunction indicator lightcontinues to blink in spite of the procedure, we recommend that the
system be checked by an autho- rised Kia dealer.
If you continue to drive with themalfunction indicator light blinking
for a long time, the DPF system canbe damaged and fuel consumption can worsen.
CAUTION - Diesel engine
If the Emission Control SystemMalfunction Indicator Light blinks, some error related to the injection quantity adjustment occurs which
could result in loss of enginepower, combustion noise and poor emission. We recommend that thesystem be inspected by an autho-
rised Kia dealer.

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.

steering angle and vehicle speed, to
keep your field of vision wide by swiveling
and levelling the headlamp.
