IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, you will experience a loss of
power, or hear loud pinging or knocking,
the engine is probably too hot. If this hap-
pens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in P (automatic transaxle) or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake. If
the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is coming out
from the hood, stop the engine. Do notopen the hood until the coolant has
stopped running or the steaming has
stopped. If there is no visible loss of
engine coolant and no steam, leave
the engine running and check to be
sure the engine cooling fan is operat-
ing. If the fan is not running, turn the
engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing,
check to see that it is tight. If the drive
belt seems to be satisfactory, check for
coolant leaking from the radiator,
hoses or under the vehicle. (If the air
conditioning had been in use, it is nor-
mal for cold water to be draining from
it when you stop). 5. If the water pump drive belt is broken
or engine coolant is leaking out, stop
the engine immediately and we recom-
mend that you call an authorized Kia
dealer. 6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine tem-
perature has returned to normal. Then,if coolant has been lost, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir to bring the
fluid level in the reservoir up to the
halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. If over-
heating happens again, we recom-
mend that you call an authorized Kia
dealer.
CAUTION
Serious loss of coolant indicates
there is a leak in the cooling systemand we recommend that the systembe checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
While the engine is running, keep
hair, hands and clothing away from
moving parts such as the fan and
drive belts to prevent injury.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. This can
allow coolant to blow out of the
opening and cause serious burns.

To prevent the spare tire and tools
from “rattling” while the vehicle is in
motion, store them properly. Changing tires
1. Park on a level surface and apply
the parking brake firmly.
2. Shift the shift lever into R (Reverse) with manual transaxle
or P (Park) with automatic
transaxle.
3. Activate the hazard warning flash- er.

Notes on the safe use of the TireMobilityKit
 Park your car at the side of theroad so that you can work with the
TireMobilityKit away from moving
traffic. Place your warning triangle
in a prominent place to make pass-
ing vehicles aware of your location.
 To be sure your vehicle won't move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your park-
ing brake.
 Only use the TireMobilityKit for sealing/inflation passenger car
tires. Do not use on motorcycles,
bicycles or any other type of tires.
 Do not remove any foreign objects- such as nails or screws -that have
penetrated the tire.
 Before using the TireMobilityKit, read the precautionary advice
printed on the sealant bottle!
 Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise

You may not be able to identify a low
tire by simply looking at it. Alwaysuse a good quality tire pressuregauge to measure the tire's inflation
pressure. Please note that a tire that
is hot (from being driven) will have ahigher pressure measurement than atire that is cold (from sitting station-
ary for at least 3 hours and driven
less than 1.6 km (1 mile) during that
3 hour period).
Allow the tire to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tire is cold before inflating to
the recommended pressure.
A cold tire means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven forless than 1.6 km (1 mile) in that 3
hour period.
WARNING - Protecting
TPMS
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tire PressureMonitoring System (TPMS) com-
ponents may interfere with thesystem's ability to warn the driv-
er of low tire pressure condi-
tions and/or TPMS malfunctions.
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tire PressureMonitoring System (TPMS) com-
ponents may void the warranty
for that portion of the vehicle.
WARNING - TPMS
 The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and sudden tire dam-
age caused by external factors
such as nails or road debris.
 If you feel any vehicle instabil- ity, immediately take your foot
off the accelerator, apply the
brakes gradually and with
light force, and slowly move to
a safe position off the road.
CAUTION
We recommend that you use the
sealant approved by Kia if yourvehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System.The liquid sealant can damagethe tire pressure sensors.
WARNING - For EUROPE
 Do not modify the vehicle, it may interfere with the TPMS function.
 The wheels on the market do not have a TPMS sensor.
For your safety, we recom-
mend that you use parts for
replacement from an author-
ized Kia dealer.

What to do in an emergency
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by an authorized
Kia dealer or a commercial tow truck
service.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be tem-
porarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing hook
under the front (or rear) of the vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing the
vehicle. A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done only
on hard-surfaced roads for a short dis-
tance and at low speed. Also, the wheels,
axles, power train, steering and brakes
must all be in good condition.
 Do not use the towing hooks to pull avehicle out of mud, sand or other con-
ditions from which the vehicle cannot
be driven out under its own power.
 Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the vehicle doing the towing.
 The drivers of both vehicles should com- municate with each other frequently.  Before emergency towing, check that
the hook is not broken or damaged.
 Fasten the towing cable or chain securely to the hook.
 Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and even force.
 To avoid damaging the hook, do not pull from the side or at a vertical angle.
Always pull straight ahead.CAUTION
 Attach a towing strap to the tow
hook.
 Using a portion of the vehicle other than the tow hooks for tow-ing may damage the body of yourvehicle.
 Use only a cable or chain specifi- cally intended for use in towingvehicles. Securely fasten thecable or chain to the towing hookprovided.WARNING
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.
 Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which would
place excessive stress on the
emergency towing hook and tow-
ing cable or chain. The hook and
towing cable or chain may break
and cause serious injury or dam-
age.
 If the disabled vehicle is unable to be moved, do not forcibly con-
tinue the towing. We recommend
that you contact an authorized
Kia dealer or a commercial tow
truck service for assistance.
 Tow the vehicle as straight ahead as possible.
 Keep away from the vehicle dur- ing towing.

 Use a towing strap less than 5 m (16
feet) long. Attach a white or red cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches) wide) in the
middle of the strap for easy visibility.
 Drive carefully so that the towing strap is not loosened during towing.
Emergency towing precautions
 Turn the ignition switch to ACC so thesteering wheel isn’t locked.
 Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral).
 Release the parking brake.
 Depress the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.
 More steering effort will be required because the power steering system
will be disabled.
 If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake per-
formance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off.
OXM069009
CAUTION - Automatic
transaxle / Double clutch transmission
 If the car is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, it can
be towed only from the front. Be sure that the transaxle is in neu-tral. Be sure the steering isunlocked by placing the ignition
switch in the ACC position. A driv-er must be in the towed vehicle to operate the steering and brakes.
 To avoid serious damage to the automatic transaxle, limit thevehicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph)and drive less than 1.5 km (1 mile) when towing.
