• Be sure the vehicle is completelystopped beýore you attempt to shiýt
into reverse. The transaxle can be damaþed iý you do not.
• Exercise extreme caution when driv‐ inþ on a slippery surýace. Be especial‐
ly careýul when brakinþ, acceleratinþ
or shiýtinþ þears. æn a slippery sur‐
ýace, an abrupt chanþe in vehicle speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to þo out
oý control.
WARNING
•Always buckle-up! In a collision, anunbelted occupant is siþniýicantlymore likely to be seriously injuredor killed than a properly belted oc‐cupant.
•Avoid hiþh speeds when cornerinþor turninþ.
•Do not make quick steerinþ wheelmovements, such as sharp lanechanþes or ýast, sharp turns.

•Beýore leavinþ the driver’s seat, al‐ways make sure the shiýt lever isin the P (Park) position; then setthe parkinþ brake ýully and shutthe enþine oýý. Unexpected andsudden vehicle movement can oc‐cur iý these precautions are notýollowed in the order identiýied.
•Do not use the enþine brake (shiýt‐inþ ýrom a hiþh þear to lower þear)rapidly on slippery roads. The vehi‐cle may slip causinþ an accident.
CAUTION
•To avoid damaþe to your trans‐axle, do not accelerate the enþinein R (Reverse) or any ýorward þearposition with the brakes on.

•When stopped on an incline, do nothold the vehicle stationary withenþine power. Use the servicebrake or the parkinþ brake.
•Do not shiýt ýrom N (Neutral) or P(Park) into D (Drive), or R (Reverse)when the enþine is above idlespeed.
Transaxle ranþes
The indicator in the instrument cluster
displays the shiýt lever position when the iþnition switch is in the æN position.

Always come to a complete stop beýore
shiýtinþ into ç (çark). This position
locks the transaxle and prevents the drive wheels ýrom rotatinþ.
WARNING
•Shiýtinþ into P (Park) while the ve‐hicle is in motion will cause thedrive wheels to lock which willcause you to lose control oý thevehicle.

WARNING
Always ýully depress the brake pedalbeýore and while shiýtinþ out oý theP (Park) position into another posi‐tion to avoid inadvertent motion oýthe vehicle which could injure per‐sons in or around the car.
Good drivinþ practices
• Never move the shiýt lever ýrom ç(çark) or N (Neutral) to any other po‐
sition with the accelerator pedal de‐ pressed.
• Never move the shiýt lever into ç (çark) when the vehicle is in motion.
• Be sure the car is completely stopped beýore you attempt to shiýt into R
(Reverse) or D (Drive).
• Never take the car out oý þear and coast down a hill. This may be ex‐tremely hazardous. Always leave the
car in þear when movinþ.
• Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malýunc‐
tion. Instead, when you are drivinþ
down a lonþ hill, slow down and shiýt to a lower þear. When you do this,
enþine brakinþ will help slow the car. • Slow down beýore shiýtinþ to a lower
þear. ætherwise, the lower þear may
not be enþaþed.
• Always use the parkinþ brake. Do not depend on placinþ the transaxle in ç
(çark) to keep the car ýrom movinþ.
• Exercise extreme caution when driv‐ inþ on a slippery surýace. Be especial‐
ly careýul when brakinþ, acceleratinþ
or shiýtinþ þears. æn a slippery sur‐ ýace, an abrupt chanþe in vehicle
speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to þo out
oý control.
• æptimum vehicle perýormance and economy is obtained by smoothly de‐pressinþ and releasinþ the accelera‐
tor pedal.

•Restart the enþine. Iý the ABSwarninþ liþht is oýý, then your ABSsystem is normal. Otherwise, youmay have a problem with the ABS.In this case, have the systemchecked by a proýessional work‐shop. Kia recommends to visit anauthorized Kia dealer/ servicepartner.
NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because oý a drained battery, the
enþine may not run as smoothly and
the ABS warninþ liþht may turn on
at the same time. This happens be‐
cause oý the low battery voltaþe. It
does not mean your ABS is malýunc‐
tioninþ.
•Do not pump your brakes!
•Have the battery recharþed beýore
drivinþ the vehicle.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
(iý equipped)
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system is desiþned to stabilize the ve‐ hicle durinþ cornerinþ maneuvers. ESC
checks where you are steerinþ and
where the vehicle is actually þoinþ.
ESC applies the brakes at individual wheels and intervenes in the enþine
manaþement system to stabilize the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never drive too ýast ýor the roadconditions or too quickly when cor‐nerinþ. Electronic stability Control(ESC) will not prevent accidents. Ex‐cessive speed in turns, abrupt ma‐neuvers and hydroplaninþ on wetsurýaces can still result in serious ac‐cidents. Only a saýe and attentivedriver can prevent accidents byavoidinþ maneuvers that cause thevehicle to lose traction. Even withESC installed, always ýollow all thenormal precautions ýor drivinþ - in‐cludinþ drivinþ at saýe speeds ýor theconditions.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system is an electronic system de‐ siþned to help the driver maintain vehi‐
cle control under adverse conditions. It
is not a substitute ýor saýe drivinþ practices. Factors includinþ speed, road
conditions and driver steerinþ input can
all aýýect whether ESC will be eýýective in preventinþ a loss oý control. It is still
your responsibility to drive and corner
at reasonable speeds and to leave a suýýicient marþin oý saýety.

Never press the ESC æFF button while
ESC is operatinþ (ESC indicator liþht blinks).
Iý ESC is turned oýý while ESC is operat‐
inþ, the vehicle may slip out oý control.
NOTICE
•When operatinþ the vehicle on a
dynamometer, ensure that the
ESC is turned oýý (ESC æFF liþht il‐
luminated).
•Turninþ the ESC oýý does not aý‐
ýect ABS or brake system opera‐
tion.
WARNING
Never press the ESC OFF buttonwhile ESC is operatinþ.Iý the ESC is turned oýý while ESC isoperatinþ, the vehicle may þo out oýcontrol.To turn ESC oýý while drivinþ, pressthe ESC OFF button while drivinþ ona ýlat road surýace.
Hill-start assist control (HAC) (iý
equipped)
Hill start Assist Control is a comýort
ýunction. The main intend is to prevent
the vehicle ýrom rollinþ backwards
while drivinþ oýý uphill on an inclined
surýace. HAC holds the brakinþ pressure
built-up by driver durinþ stoppinþ pro‐ cedure ýor 2 seconds aýter releasinþ
brake pedal.
Durinþ the pressure-hold period, the
driver has enouþh time to press the ac‐ celerator pedal to drive oýý.
The brakinþ pressure is reduced as
soon as the system detects the driver’s
intention to drive oýý.
WARNING
The HAC is usually activated only ýor2 seconds. The driver should becareýul ýrom the rollinþ backwardcausinþ the accident with behind ob‐jects or human, when the driver mayýeel the unintended rollinþ backwardwhile drivinþ oýý on hill due to insuý‐ýicient brake hold pressure built-upby driver durinþ stoppinþ procedure.
NOTICE
•The HAC does not operate when
the transaxle shiýt lever is in the ç
(çark) or N (Neutral) position.
•The HAC activates even thouþh
the ESC is oýý but it does not acti‐
vate when the ESC has malýunc‐
tioned.
Vehicle stability manaþement
(VSM) (iý equipped)
This system provides ýurther enhance‐
ments to vehicle stability and steerinþ responses when a vehicle is drivinþ on a
slippery road or a vehicle detected
chanþes in coeýýicient oý ýriction be‐ tween riþht wheels and leýt wheels
when brakinþ.
VSM operation
When the VSM is in operatinþ, ESC indi‐
cator liþht ( ) blinks.
When the vehicle stability manaþement
is operatinþ properly, you can ýeel a sliþht pulsation in the vehicle. This is
only the eýýect oý brake control and in‐
dicates nothinþ unusual.
