do a visual check of the area
behind your vehicle, and before
backing up be aware of your sur-
roundings and supplement the
rear view camera by looking over
your shoulders and checking
your rear view mirrors. Due to the
difficulty of ensuring that the
area behind you remains clear,
always back up slowly and stop
immediately if you even suspect
that a person, and especially a
child, might be behind you.

Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con-
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also
has a negative influence on the air
conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.
The air conditioning system should
be serviced by an authorized Kia
dealer.
CAUTION
It is important that the correcttype and amount of oil and refrig-erant is used, otherwise damageto the vehicle may occur.
To prevent damage, the air con-ditioning system in your vehicleshould only be serviced bytrained and certified technicians.
WARNING
The oil and refrigerant in your
vehicle’s air conditioning sys-
tem is under very high pressure.
If proper service procedures are
not followed an explosion may
result. To reduce the risk of seri-
ous injury or death, the air con-
ditioning system in your vehicle
should only be serviced by
trained and certified technicians.
