DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
4-20GAUGESSPEEDOMETERThe speedometer indicates the forward
speed of the vehicle.ODOMETER/TRIPMETERYou can choose the odometer, tripmeter
A and tripmeter B by pressing the mode
selection button.ODOMETERThe odometer indicates the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.TRIPMETERTRIP A: Tripmeter A
TRIP B: Tripmeter B
The tripmeter indicates the distance of
individual trips selected by the driver.
Tripmeter A and B can be reset to zero
by pressing the reset button for one
second or more, and then releasing.
TACHOMETERThe tachometer indicates the approximate
number of engine revolutions per minute
(rpm).
Use the tachometer to select the correct
shift points and prevent lugging the
engine and/or over-revving it.
The tachometer pointer may move
slightly when the ignition switch is in the
ACC or ON position with the engine
OFF. This movement is normal and will
not affect the accuracy of the tachometer
once the engine is running.
FUEL GAUGEThe fuel gauge indicates the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
Fuel tank capacity: 65L (17 us gal.)
The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low
fuel warning light located in the
instrument panel.

MALFUNCTION
INDICATOR LIGHT
(IF EQUIPPED)The CHECK ENGINE or malfunction
indicator light is installed in your
vehicle’s instrument panel and responds
to signals from the vehicle’s On Board
Diagnostic (OBD -II) System. The OBD-
II System monitors the performance of the
vehicle’s Emission Control System
(ECS), which is designed to reduce the
amount of air pollutants in engine exhaust
to the levels required by government
regulations.
When you first start the engine, the check
engine light will illuminate briefly as a
system check to confirm that the OBD-II
System is operating properly. As the
engine starts, this light turns off.
However, if at any time the OBD-II
system detects a faulty signal or
determines that the ECS is not performing
to specification, the CHECK ENGINE
light will illuminate continuously or flash.
Continuously ON :If the CHECK ENGINE light comes ON
while driving and illuminates continuously,
a potential problem has been discovered in
the ECS or one of the exhaust system
components. Generally, the vehicle will
continue to be driveablebut it should
be checked by an Authorized Kia Dealer
as soon as possible. This condition is
unlikely to lead to engine damage unless
a decrease in vehicle power or poor
running conditions is immediately
apparent.
Flashing ON and OFF :If the CHECK ENGINE light begins to
flash ON and OFF, a more serious
problem with the ECS or exhaust system
component has been detected. If this
happens, and there is no degradation
to performance, the vehicle is still
driveable(avoid high speeds) but should
be checked by an Authorized Kia Dealer
at your earliest possible convenience. If
the flashing CHECK ENGINE light is
accompanied by a decrease in power or
poor running conditions, safely stop the
vehicle and immediately contact Kia
Roadside Assistance.
Note that the CHECK ENGINE light
will illuminate for a problem like a loose
or missing gas cap, but will not
illuminate as a result of low engine oil or
coolant, low automatic transaxle fluid or
engine overheating. The driver will be
alerted to these conditions by other
indicators on the instrument panel.

position or when the turn signal lever is
pulled into the Flash-to-Pass position.DOOR AJAR WARNINGThis warning light comes on when a
door is not closed securely with the
ignition switch in any position.
CAUTION
 Prolonged driving with the On
Board Diagnostic System
Malfunction Indicator Light ( )
illuminated may cause damage to
the emission control systems
which could effect driveability
and/or fuel economy.
 If the On Board Diagnostic
System Malfunction Indicator
Light ( ) begins to flash ON
and OFF, potential catalytic con-
verter damage is possible which
could result in loss of engine
power. Have the On Board
Diagnostic System inspected as
soon as possible by an
Authorized Kia Dealer or other
competent repair shop.

TURN SIGNALSThe same lever that controls the head-
lights also controls the turn signals. The
ignition switch must be ON for the turn
signals to function. Move the lever up or
down to activate the turn signals. The
turn signals will self-cancel after a turn is
completed. If the indicator continues to
flash after a turn, manually return the
lever to the OFF (middle) position.
LANE CHANGE SIGNALSTo signal a lane change, move the turn
signal lever slightly and hold it in
position. The lever will return to the
OFF(middle) position when released.
Green arrow indicators on the instrument
panel indicate which turn signal is
operating. If an indicator stays ON and
does not flash or if it flashes abnormally,
one or more of the turn signal bulbs may
be burned out and will require
replacement.
DAYTIME RUNNING
LIGHTS (DRL) Daytime Running Lights (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see the front
of your vehicle during the day. DRL can
be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially
helpful in the short periods after dawn
and before sunset.
The DRL system will make your High-
beam headlights turn OFF when:
• the headlight switch is ON.
• the parking brake is engaged.
• the engine stops.
