button in the ON position for a long
time. The battery may discharge, be‐ cause the engine is not running.
START/RUN
To start the hybrid system,depress the brake pedal and
press the engine start/stop button with the shift lever in the P (Park) or the N
(Neutral) position. For your safety, start the hybrid system with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position.

NOTICE
If you leave the engine start/stop
button in the ACC or ON position for
a long time, the battery will dis‐

WARNING
•Never press the engine start/stopbutton while the vehicle is in mo‐tion. This would result in loss of di‐rectional control and braking func‐tion, which could cause an acci‐dent.
•The anti-theft steering columnlock (if equipped) is not a substi‐tute for the parking brake. Beforeleaving the driver's seat, alwaysmake sure the shift lever is engag‐ed in P (Park), set the parkingbrake fully and shut the engineoff. Unexpected and sudden vehi‐cle movement may occur if theseprecautions are not taken.

NOTICE
•Do not wait for the engine to
warm up while the vehicle remains
stationary.
Start driving at moderate engine
speeds. (Steep accelerating and
decelerating should be avoided.)
•Always start the vehicle with your
foot on the brake pedal. Do not
depress the accelerator while
starting the vehicle. Do not race
the engine while warming it up.
•If ambient temperature is low, the
"" indicator may remain illumi‐
nated longer than the normal
amount of time.

(Continued)
•If the "" indicator turns off
while you are in motion, do not at‐
tempt to move the shift lever to
the P (Park) position.
If traffic and road conditions per‐
mit, you may put the shift lever in
the N (Neutral) position while the
vehicle is still moving and press
the Engine Start/Stop button in an
attempt to restart the hybrid sys‐
tem.
•Do not push or tow your vehicle to
start the hybrid system.
NOTICE
•If the battery is weak or the smart
key does not work correctly, you
can start the hybrid system by
pressing the engine start/stop
button with the smart key.
The side with the lock button
should be contacted directly.
When you press the engine start/
stop button directly with the
smart key, the smart key should
contact the button at a right an‐
gle.
•When the stop lamp fuse is blown,
you cannot start the hybrid sys‐
tem normally.
Replace the fuse with a new one.
If it is not possible, you can start
the hybrid system by pressing the
engine start/stop button for 10
seconds while it is in the ACC posi‐
tion. The engine can start without
depressing the brake pedal. But
for your safety always depress
the brake pedal before starting
the engine.

Automatic transaxle operation
The automatic transaxle has 6 forward
speeds and one reverse speed. The in‐ dividual speeds are selected automati‐
cally, depending on the position of the
shift lever.
NOTICE
The first few shifts on a new vehicle,
if the battery has been disconnec‐
ted, may be somewhat abrupt. This
is a normal condition, and the shift‐
ing sequence will adjust after shifts
are cycled a few times by the TCM
(Transaxle Control Module) or PCM
(Power train Control Module).
For smooth operation, depress the
brake pedal when shifting from N (Neu‐ tral) to a forward or reverse gear.

BRAKE SYSTEM
Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through nor‐ mal usage.
If the hybrid system is not on or is
turned off while driving, the power as‐
sist for the brakes will not work. You can still stop your vehicle by applying
greater force to the brake pedal than
typical. The stopping distance, however,will be longer than with power brakes.
When the hybrid system is not on, the reserve brake power is partially deple‐
ted each time the brake pedal is ap‐
plied. Do not pump the brake pedal when the power assist has been inter‐
rupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when nec‐
essary to maintain steering control on slippery surfaces.
WARNING
nBrakes
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Do not drive with your foot restingon the brake pedal. This will createabnormal high brake tempera‐tures, excessive brake lining andpad wear, and increased stoppingdistances.
•When descending a long or steephill, shift to a lower gear and avoidcontinuous application of thebrakes. Continuous brake applica‐tion will cause the brakes to over‐heat and could result in a tempo‐rary loss of braking performance.
•Wet brakes may impair the vehi‐cle’s ability to safely slow down;the vehicle may also pull to oneside when the brakes are applied.Applying the brakes lightly will in‐dicate whether they have been af‐fected in this way.Always test your brakes in thisfashion after driving through deepwater. To dry the brakes, applythem lightly while maintaining asafe forward speed until brakeperformance returns to normal.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Always confirm the position of thebrake and accelerator pedal beforedriving. If you don’t check the posi‐tion of the accelerator and brakepedal before driving, you may de‐press the accelerator instead ofthe brake pedal. It may cause a se‐rious accident.
NOTICE
Do not depress the brake pedal con‐
tinuously without the "" indicator
ON. The battery may be discharged.
Disc brakes wear indicator
When your brake pads are worn and
new pads are required, you will hear a high-pitched warning sound from your
front brakes or rear brakes (if equip‐
ped). You may hear this sound come and go or it may occur whenever you
depress the brake pedal.

CAUTION
•If the ABS warning light is on andstays on, you may have a problemwith the ABS. In this case, howev‐er, your regular brakes will worknormally.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•The ABS warning light will stay onfor approximately 3 seconds afterthe engine start/stop buttonswitch is ON. During that time, theABS will go through self-diagnosisand the light will go off if every‐thing is normal. If the light stayson, you may have a problem withyour ABS. We recommend that youcontact an authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
•When you drive on a road havingpoor traction, such as an icy road,and operate your brakes continu‐ously, the ABS will be active con‐tinuously and the ABS warninglight may illuminate. Pull your ve‐hicle over to a safe place and stopthe engine.
•Restart the engine. If the ABSwarning light is off, then your ABSsystem is normal. Otherwise, youmay have a problem with the ABS.We recommend that you contactan authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
engine may not run as smoothly and
the ABS warning light may turn on
at the same time. This happens be‐
cause of the low battery voltage. It
does not mean your ABS is malfunc‐
tioning.
•Do not pump your brakes!
•Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
If engine doesn't turn over or
turns over slowly
1. Be sure the shift lever is in N (Neu‐tral) or P (Park) and the emergency
brake is set.
2. Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
3. Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you
operate the starter, the battery is
discharged.
4. Check the starter connections to be sure they are securely tightened.
5. Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it. See instructions for L

EMERGENCY STARTING
Connect cables in numerical order and
disconnect in reverse order. ❈ (A): Jumper cables

Jump starting
Jump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid harm to yourself or damage to your vehicle or
battery, follow the jump starting pro‐
cedures. If in doubt, we strongly rec‐ ommend that you have a competent
technician or towing service jump start
your vehicle.
CAUTION
Use only a 12-volt jumper system.You can damage a 12-volt startingmotor, ignition system, and otherelectrical parts beyond repair by useof a 24- volt power supply (eithertwo 12-volt batteries in series or a24-volt motor generator set).
WARNING
nBattery
Never attempt to check the electro‐lyte level of the battery as this maycause the battery to rupture or ex‐plode causing serious injury.
WARNING

•Keep all flames or sparks awayfrom the battery. The batteryproduces hydrogen gas which mayexplode if exposed to flame orsparks.If these instructions are not fol‐lowed exactly, serious personal in‐jury and damage to the vehiclemay occur! If you are not sure howto follow this procedure, seekqualified assistance. Automobilebatteries contain sulfuric acid. Thisis poisonous and highly corrosive.When jump starting, wear protec‐tive glasses and be careful not toget acid on yourself, your clothingor on the vehicle.
•Do not attempt to jump start thevehicle if the discharged battery isfrozen or if the electrolyte level islow; the battery may rupture orexplode.
•Do not allow the (+) and (-) jumpercables to touch. It may causesparks.
•The battery may rupture or ex‐plode when you jump start with alow or frozen battery.
