Driving your vehicle
Sports mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, sports mode is selected by push-
ing the shift lever from the D (Drive) posi-
tion into the manual gate. To return to D
(Drive) range operation, push the shift
lever back into the main gate.
In Sports Mode, moving the shift lever
backwards and forwards will allow you to
select the desired range of gears for the
current driving conditions.
+ (Up) : Push the lever forward once toshift up one gear.
- (Down) : Pull the lever backwards once to shift down one gear.
✽✽NOTICE
 Only the 7 (or 6) forward gears can be selected. To reverse or park the vehicle,
move the shift lever to the R (Reverse)
or P (Park) position as required.
 Downshifts are made automatically
when the vehicle slows down. When
the vehicle stops, 1st gear is automati-
cally selected.
 When the engine rpm approaches the red zone the transmission will upshift
automatically.
 If the driver presses the lever to + (Up)
or - (Down) position, the transmission
may not make the requested gear
change if the next gear is outside of
the allowable engine rpm range. The
driver must execute upshifts in accor-
dance with road conditions, taking
care to keep the engine rpms below
the red zone.
Paddle shifter (if equipped)
The paddle shifter is available when the
shift lever is in the D (Drive) position or
the sports mode.

Driving on grades
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear
before you start down a long or steep
downgrade. If you don’t shift down, you
might have to use your brakes so much
that they would get hot and no longer
operate efficiently.
On a long uphill grade, shift down and
reduce your speed to around 70 km/h (45mph) to reduce the possibility of engine
and transaxle overheating.
If your trailer weighs more than the max-
imum trailer weight without trailer brakes
and you have an automatic transaxle,
you should drive in D (Drive) when tow-
ing a trailer.
Operating your vehicle in D (Drive) when
towing a trailer will minimize heat build up
and extend the life of your transaxle.CAUTION
When towing a trailer on steep
grades (in excess of 6%) pay closeattention to the engine coolanttemperature gauge to ensure the
engine does not overheat.
If the coolant temperature redwarning light illuminates or thecoolant temperature gaugemoves towards “130”, pull over
and stop as soon as it is safe todo so, and allow the engine to idle until it cools down. You may pro-ceed once the engine has cooled
sufficiently.
You must decide driving speed depending on trailer weight anduphill grade to reduce the possi-bility of engine and transaxle
overheating.
(Continued)
(Continued) For vehicles equipped with a dual clutch transmission when towing
a trailer on steep grades, theclutch in the transmission could overheat.
When the clutch is overheated,the safe protection mode
engages. If the safe protectionmode engages, the gear position indicator on the cluster blinks
with a chime sound.
At this time, a warning messagewill appear on the LCD displayand driving may not be smooth.
If you ignore this warning, the driv-ing condition may become worse.
To return to normal driving condi-tion, stop the vehicle on a flatroad and apply the foot brake for a few minutes before driving off.

Driving your vehicle
If you do decide to pull a trailer
Here are some important points if you decide to pull a trailer:
Consider using a sway control. You can ask a hitch dealer about sway control.
Do not do any towing with your car during its first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) in order to allow the engine to properly break in. Failure
to heed this caution may result in serious engine or transaxle damage.
When towing a trailer, we recommend that you consult an authorized Kia dealer on additional requirements such as a towing kit, etc.
Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed (less than 100 km/h (60 mph)).
On a long uphill grade, do not exceed 70 km/h (45 mph) or the posted towing speed limit, whichever is lower.

What to do in an emergency
32
6
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 the
steering 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 canbe towed only from the front. Be sure that the transaxle is in neu-
tral. Be sure the steering is unlocked by placing the ignitionswitch 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.

Maintenance
OWNER MAINTENANCE
We recommend that the following lists
are vehicle checks and inspections that
should be performed by the owner or an
authorized Kia dealer at the frequencies
indicated to help ensure safe, depend-
able operation of your vehicle.
If you have any question, we recommend
that you consult an authorized Kia deal-
er.
These Owner Maintenance Checks are
generally not covered by warranties 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 reser-
voir.
Check the windshield washer fluid level.
Look for low or under-inflated tires.
Check the radiator and condenser. Check if the front of the radiator and
condenser are clean and not blocked
with leaves, dirt or insects etc.
If any of the above parts are extremely
dirty or you are not sure of their condi-
tion, we recommend that you contact
an authorized Kia dealer.
While operating your vehicle:
Note any changes in the sound of theexhaust or any smell of exhaust fumes
in the vehicle.
Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steering
effort or looseness in the steering
wheel, or change in its straight-aheadposition.
Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side when trav-
eling on smooth, level road.
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 oper- ation of your transaxle occurs, check
the transaxle fluid level.
Check manual transaxle operation, including clutch operation.
Check automatic transaxle/dual clutch transmission P (Park) function.
Check parking brake.
Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air conditioning
system during or after use is normal).
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.

Maintenance
Air cleaner filter
We recommend that the air cleaner filter
be replaced by an authorized Kia dealer.
Spark plugs (for gasoline engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs of
the correct heat range.
Valve clearance
(for gasoline engine)
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if necessary.
We recommend that the valve clearance
be serviced by an authorized Kia dealer. Cooling system
Check the cooling system parts, such as
radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
Replace any damaged parts.Coolant The coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule.
Manual transaxle fluid (if equipped)
Inspect the manual transaxle fluid
according to the maintenance schedule.
Dual clutch transmission fluid (if equipped)
Inspect the dual clutch transmission fluid
according to the maintenance schedule.
Automatic transaxle fluid (if equipped)
Automatic transaxle fluid should not be
checked under normal usage conditions.
But in severe conditions, we recommend
that the system be serviced by an author-
ized Kia dealer in accordance to the
maintenance schedule.
✽✽
NOTICE
Automatic transaxle fluid color is basi-
cally red.
As the vehicle is driven, the automatic
transaxle fluid will begin to look darker.
It is normal condition and you should
not judge the need to replace the fluid
based upon the changed color.
CAUTION
The use of a non-specified fluid could result in transaxle malfunc- tion and failure.
Use only specified automatictransaxle fluid. (Refer to “Recommended lubricants and
capacities” in chapter 8.)
