becomes on in off status.
• 1 degree per 90 seconds rises when the vehicle speed is more than 30 km/h
and 1 degree per two seconds is
descended regardless of the vehicle
speed.
(But 0.5 degree in case of centigrade) • The outside ambient temperature is
able to descend the temperature dur-
ing the stop but is not able to ascend
the temperature.
✽ NOTICE
 The temperature showed in displayed
part of outside temperature is
designed to be close to actual outside
temperature. But the temperature

Moving up a steep grade from a
standing start
To move up a steep grade from a stand-
ing start, depress the brake pedal, shift
the shift lever to D (Drive). Select the
appropriate gear depending on load
weight and steepness of the grade, and
release the parking brake. Depress the
accelerator gradually while releasing the
service brakes.
When accelerating from a stop on a
steep hill, the vehicle may have a ten-
dency to roll backward s. Shifting the
shift lever into 2 (Second Gear) while
in Sport mode will help prevent the
vehicle from rolling backward s.
Ignition key inter lock system
The ignition key cannot be removed
unless the shift lever is in the P (Park)
position. If the ignition switch is in any
other position, the key cannot be
removed.
Shift lock system
For your safety, the Automatic Transaxle
has a shift lock system which prevents
shifting the transaxle out of P (Park)
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transaxle out of P (Park):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or turn the ignition to
the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.
If the brake pedal is repeatedly
depressed and released with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position, a chattering
sound near the shift lever may be heard.
This is a normal condition.
Shift-lock override
If the shift lever should fail to move from
the P (Park) position with the brake pedal
depressed, continue depressing the
brake, then do the following:
1. Carefully remove the cap covering the S/Lock override access hole which is
located on the right side of the shift
lever.
2. Insert the screwdriver or key into the access hole and press down on the
key.
3. Depress the lock release button and move the shift lever.
4. Have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealership immediately.

Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the forward
speed of the vehicle.
Odometer/Tripmeter
You can choose the odometer, tripmeter
A and tripmeter B by pressing the trip-
meter mode button (TRIP A/B).
Odometer
The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance the vehicle has been driven.
Tripmeter
TRIP 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 0 by
pressing the RESET button for 1 second
or more, and then releasing.
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the approxi-
mate number of engine revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Use the tachometer to select the correct
shift points and to prevent lugging and/or
over-revving the engine.
The tachometer pointer may move slight-
ly when the ignition switch is in 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.
Engine temperature gauge
This gauge shows the temperature of the
engine coolant when the ignition switch
is ON.
Do not continue driving with an overheat-
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer
to “Overheating” in the Index.
GAUGES
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine withinthe tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine dam-
age.
CAUTION
If the gauge pointer move s beyond
the normal range area toward the “H” position, it indicates overheat- ing that may damage the engine.

ESC indicator
(Electronic Stability
Control) (if equipped)
The ESC indicator will illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned ON, but
should go off after approximately 3 sec-
onds. When the ESC is on, it monitors
the driving conditions and under normal
driving conditions, the ESC light will
remain off. When a slippery or low trac-
tion condition is encountered, the ESC
will operate, and the ESC indicator will
blink to indicate the ESC is operating.
ESC OFF indicator
(if equipped)
The ESC OFF indicator will illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned ON,
but should go off after approximately 3
seconds. To switch to ESC OFF mode,
press the ESC OFF button. The ESC
OFF indicator will illuminate indicating
the ESC is deactivated. If this indicator
stays on in the ESC ON mode, the ESC
may have a malfunction. Take your car to
an authorized Kia dealer and have the
system checked.
Safety belt warning chime
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition key is turned “ON” or if
it is disconnected after the key is ON, the
safety belt warning chime will sound for
approximately 6 seconds.
Key reminder warning chime
If the driver’s door is opened and the igni-
tion key is left in the ignition switch in the
LOCK or ACC position, the key reminder
warning chime will sound. This is to pre-
vent you from locking your keys in the
vehicle.

temperature equally
1. Press the DUAL button again or if youselect the highest (HI) or lowest (Lo)
temperature, the DUAL mode deacti-
vates (the indicator light in the button
turns off). The passenger side temper-
ature will be set to the same tempera-
ture as the driver side.
2. Press the left temperature control but- ton. The driver and passenger side
temperature will be adjusted equally.
Temperature conver sion
If the battery has been discharged or dis-
connected, the temperature mode will
reset as Centigrade degrees.
This is normal condition and you can
switch the temperature mode between
Centigrade to Fahrenheit as follows;
While depressing the MODE button,
depress the DUAL button for 3 seconds
or more. The display will change from
Centigrade to Fahrenheit, or from
Fahrenheit to Centigrade.
Fan speed control button
The fan speed can be set to the desired
speed by turning the appropriate fan
speed control knob.
The higher the fan speed is, the more air
is delivered.
Pressing the “OFF” button turns off the
fan.

Air conditioning system opera-
tion tips
• If the vehicle has been parked in directsunlight during hot weather, open the
windows for a short time to let the hot
air inside the vehicle escape.
• To help reduce moisture inside of the windows on rainy humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the vehi-
cle by operating the air conditioning
system.
• During air conditioning system opera- tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in the engine speed as
the air conditioning compressor cycles
on. This is a normal system operation
characteristics.
• Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.
• When using the air conditioning sys- tem, you may notice clear water drip-
ping (or even pudding) on the ground
under the passenger side of the vehi-
cle. This is a normal system operation
characteristics. • Operating the air conditioning system
in the recirculated air position does
provide maximum cooling, however,
continual operation in this mode may
cause the air inside the vehicle to
become stale.
Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and compres-
sor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has a bad influ-
ence on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
When the performance of the air
conditioning system is reduced it is
important that the correct type and amount of oil and refrigerant isu sed. Otherwis e, damage to the
compressor and abnormal system operation may occur.
CAUTION
When us ing the air conditioning
s ystem, monitor the temperature
gauge closely while driving up hill s
or in heavy traffic when out side
temperatures are high. Air condi- tioning system operation may
caus e engine overheating.
Continue to use the blower fan but turn the air conditioning system off
if the temperature gauge indicate s
engine overheating.
WARNING
The air conditioning system should
be serviced by an authorized Kia
dealer. Improper service may cause
serious injury to the per son per-
forming the service.

used at any time. The HomeLink
Wireless Controls System (once pro-
grammed) or the original hand-held
transmitter may be used to activate the
device (e.g. garage door, entry door lock,
etc.). In the event that there are still pro-
gramming difficulties, contact HomeLink
at 1-800-355-3515 or on the internet at
www.homelink.com.
Erasing programmed HomeLink
