Battery saver function
The purpose of this feature is to
prevent the battery from being dis-
charged. The system automatically
turns off the parking lights when
the driver removes the ignition key
and opens the driver-side door.
With this feature, the parking lights will turn off automatically if the driv-
er parks on the side of the road at
night.
If necessary, to keep the lights on
when the ignition key is removed,
perform the following:
1) Open the driver-side door.
2) Turn the parking lights OFF and ON again using the light switch
on the steering column.

(if equipped)
The headlights (and/or taillights) will
remain on for approximately 20 min-
utes after the ignition key is removed

opened and closed, the headlights
are turned off after 30 seconds.

mitter (or smart key) twice or turning
off the light switch from the headlight
or Auto light position. If the driver gets out of the vehicle
through other doors (except driver's

escort function does not turn off
automatically. Therefore, It causes
the battery to be discharged. In this
case, make sure to turn off the lamp
before getting out of the vehicle.
If the headlights are not working
properly have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.

Stevenson” instead of “Dad”).

“Sergeant” instead of “Sgt.”).
3) Do not use acronyms (i.e., use “County Finance Department”
instead of “CFD”). 4) Do not use special characters
(e.g., “@”, “hyphen -“, “asterisk *”,
ampersand &”).
5) If a name is not recognized from the contact list, change it to a
more descriptive name (e.g., use
“Grandpa Joseph” instead of “Pa
Joe”).

lines when storing contacts:

always use full names (including first
and last names) for these contacts
'@', '-', '*', '&', etc.)
"Lieutenant" instead of "Lt.") or
acronyms (i.e., use "County Finance
Department" instead of "C. F. D."; Be
