TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
(1) Low tire pressure telltale / TPMS malfunction indicator
(2) Low tire pressure position telltale (Shown on the LCD display)
Check tire pressure
You can check the tire pressure inthe information mode on the clus-
ter.
- Refer to “User settings mode” inchapter 4.
Tire pressure is displayed 1~2 min- utes later after driving.
If tire pressure is not displayed when the vehicle is stopped, “Drive
to display” message displays. After
driving, check the tire pressure.
You can change the tire pressure unit in the user settings mode on
the cluster.
- psi, kpa, bar (Refer to “User set-tings mode” in chapter 4).
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• The tire pressure may change due
to factors such as parking condi-
tion, driving style, and altitude
above sea level.
• Low tire pressure warning may sound when a tire’s pressure unit is
equal or higher than nearby tires.
This is a normal occurrence, which
is due to the change in tire pressure
along with tire temperature.
• The tire pressure shown on the dashboard may differ from the
tire pressure measured by tire
pressure gauge.

What to do in an emergency
Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) you
can stay mobile even after experi-
encing certain tire punctures.
The system compressor and sealing
compound effectively seal most
punctures in a passenger car tire
caused by nails or similar objects
and reinflate the tire.
After you ensure that the tire is prop-
erly sealed, you can drive cautiously
on the tire at a max. speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) in order to reach a vehicle
or tire dealer to have the tire
replaced as soon as.It is possible that some tires, espe-
cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed
completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may
adversely affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
maneuvers, especially if the vehicle is
heavily loaded or if a trailer is in use.
The Tire Mobility Kit is not designed
or intended as a permanent tire
repair method and is to be used for
one tire only.
This instruction shows you step by
step how to temporarily seal the
puncture.
Read the section "Notes on the safe
use of the Tire Mobility Kit".
Notes on the safe use of the
Tire Mobility Kit
Park your car at the side of the
road so that you can work with the
Tire Mobility Kit away from moving
traffic.
To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your park-
ing brake.
Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for sealing/inflation passenger car
tires. Only punctured areas located
within the tread region of the tire
can be sealed using the Tire
Mobility Kit.
Do not use on motorcycles, bicy- cles or any other type of tires.
When the tire and wheel are dam- aged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit
for your safety.

What to do in an emergency
When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies :
1. Set the ignition switch in the ACCposition.
2. Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral).
3. Release the parking brake.Removable towing hook
(if equipped)
1. Open the trunk, and remove the towing hook from the tool case.
2. Remove the hole cover pressing the upper part of the cover on the
bumper.
CAUTION - Towing gear
position
Failure to place the transaxleshift lever in N (Neutral) maycause internal damage to thetransaxle.
CAUTION - Towing
Do not tow the vehicle back- wards with the front wheels onthe ground as this may causedamage to the vehicle.
Do not tow with sling-type equipment. Use wheel lift orflatbed equipment.

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 bake.
Press the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will
have reduced brake performance.
More steering effort will be required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake
performance will be reduced. Stop
often and let the brakes cool off. If the car is being towed with all
four wheels on the ground, it can
be towed only from the front. Be
sure that the transaxle is in neutral.
Be sure the steering is unlocked by
placing the ignition switch in the
ACC position. A driver must be in
the towed vehicle to operate the
steering and brakes.
CAUTION - Automatic
transaxle
To avoid serious damage to the automatic transaxle, limitthe vehicle speed to 10 mph(15 km/h) and drive less than 1mile (1.5 km) when towing.
Before towing, check the auto- matic transaxle for fluid leaksunder your vehicle. If the auto-matic transaxle fluid is leak-ing, flatbed equipment or atowing dolly must be used.

What to do in an emergency
IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Any gas or electrolyte leakage from
your vehicle is not only poisonous
but also flammable. Upon witness-
ing gas or electrolyte leakage, make
sure your car is parked in a safe area
away from any roads, open the win-
dows, and maintain a safe distance
away from the vehicle. Immediately
contact an authorized Kia dealer
and advise them that a hybrid vehi-
cle is involved.
If you need towing, refer to
"Towing" in the previous pages.
When the vehicle is severely dam- aged, remain a safe distance of 50
feet (15 meter) or more between
your vehicle and other
vehicles/flammables.
If a small scale fire occurs, use a fire extinguisher (ABC, BC) that is
meant for electrical fires.
If it is impossible to extinguish the
fire in the early stage, remain a
safe distance from the vehicle and
immediately call 911. Also, advise
them that a hybrid vehicle is
involved.
If the fire spreads to the high volt-
age battery, a large amount of
water is needed to put out the fire.
Using small amount of water or fire
extinguishers not meant for electri-
cal fires could cause serious injury
or death from electrical shocks.
WARNING - High voltage
components
For your safety, do not touch high voltage cables, connec-
tors and package modules.
High voltage components are
orange in color.
Exposed cables or wires may be visible inside or outside of
the vehicle. Never touch the
wires or cables, because an
electrical shock, an injury, or a
death may occur.WARNING- Submersion
in water
Do not touch your vehicle if it
has been submerged in water.
The high-voltage battery may
cause shock or may catch fire.
Immediately contact the author-
ities and advise them of the
condition of your vehicle and
that a hybrid vehicle is involved.

OWNER MAINTENANCE
The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per-
formed by the owner or an author-
ized Kia dealer at the frequencies
indicated to help ensure safe,
dependable operation of your vehi-
cle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your deal-
er as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance Checks
are generally not covered by war-
ranties 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 the coolant level in coolantreservoir.
Check the windshield washer fluid level.
Look for low or under-inflated tires.
While operating your vehicle:
Note any changes in the sound of the exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.
Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steer-
ing effort or looseness in the steer-
ing wheel, or change in its straight-
ahead position.
Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when traveling on smooth, level
roads.
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 operation of your transaxle occurs,
check the transaxle fluid level.
Check the automatic transaxle P (Park) function.
Check the parking brake.
Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
WARNING- Hot coolant
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. Scalding hot
coolant and steam may blow
out under pressure.
WARNING
When you open the engine
hood, turn the Hybrid system
off. If not, it may result in death
or serious injury because of the
high voltage flow.
