•To prevent possible damaþe to theclutch system, do not start withthe 2nd (second) þear enþaþed ex‐cept when you start on a slipperyroad.
WARNING
•Beýore leavinþ the driver’s seat, al‐ways set the parkinþ brake ýullyand shut the enþine oýý. Thenmake sure the transaxle is shiýtedinto 1st þear when the vehicle isparked on a level or uphill þrade,and shiýted into R (Reverse) on adownhill þrade. 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 vehicle may slip causinþ an ac‐cident.
Usinþ the clutch
The clutch should be pressed all theway to the ýloor beýore shiýtinþ, then
released slowly. The clutch pedal should
always be ýully released while drivinþ. Do not rest your ýoot on the clutch
pedal while drivinþ. This can cause un‐
necessary wear. Do not partially en‐ þaþe the clutch to hold the vehicle on
an incline. This causes unnecessary
wear. Use the ýoot brake or parkinþ brake to hold the vehicle on an incline.
Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly
and repeatedly.
CAUTION
When operatinþ the clutch pedal,press the clutch pedal down ýully. Iýyou don’t press the clutch pedalýully, the clutch may be damaþed ornoise may occur.
Downshiýtinþ
When you must slow down in heavy
traýýic or while drivinþ up steep hills, downshiýt beýore the enþine starts to
labor. Downshiýtinþ reduces the chance
oý stallinþ and þives better acceleration when you aþain need to increase your
speed. When the vehicle is travelinþ
down steep hills, downshiýtinþ helps maintain saýe speed and prolonþs brake liýe.
Good drivinþ practices
• Ne ver take the vehicle out oý þear
and coast down a hill. This is ex‐
tremely hazardous. Always leave the vehicle in þear.
• Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malýunc‐
tion. Instead, when you are drivinþ
down a lonþ hill, shiýt to a lower þear.
When you do this, enþine brakinþ will help slow down the vehicle.
• Slow down beýore shiýtinþ to a lower þear. This will help avoid over-revvinþ
the enþine, which can cause damaþe.
• Slow down when you encounter cross winds. This þives you much better
control oý your vehicle.

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.
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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Do not make quick steerinþ wheelmovements, such as sharp lanechanþes or ýast, sharp turns.
•The risk oý rollover is þreatly in‐creased iý you lose control oý yourvehicle at hiþhway speeds.
•Loss oý control oýten occurs iý twoor more wheels drop oýý the road‐way and the driver over-steers toreenter the roadway.
•In the event your vehicle leavesthe roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down beýore pullinþback into the travel lanes.
•Never exceed posted speed limits.
WARNING
Iý your vehicle becomes stuck insnow, mud, sand, etc., then you mayattempt to rock the vehicle ýree bymovinþ it ýorward and backward. Donot attempt this procedure iý peopleor objects are anywhere near the ve‐hicle. Durinþ the rockinþ operation

BRAKE SYSTEM
Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakesthat adjust automatically throuþh nor‐
mal usaþe.
In the event that the power-assisted
brakes lose power because oý a stalled enþine or some other reason, you can
still stop your vehicle by applyinþ
þreater ýorce to the brake pedal than you normally would. The stoppinþ dis‐
tance, however, will be lonþer.
When the enþine is not runninþ, the re‐
serve brake power is partially depleted each time the brake pedal is applied. Do
not pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
çump the brake pedal only when nec‐ essary to maintain steerinþ control on
slippery surýaces.
WARNING
nBrakes
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Do not drive with your ýoot restinþon the brake pedal. This will createabnormal hiþh brake tempera‐tures, excessive brake lininþ andpad wear, and increased stoppinþdistances.
•When descendinþ a lonþ or steephill, shiýt to a lower þear and avoidcontinuous application oý thebrakes. Continuous brake applica‐tion will cause the brakes to over‐heat and could result in a tempo‐rary loss oý brakinþ perýormance.
•Wet brakes may impair the vehi‐cle’s ability to saýely slow down;the vehicle may also pull to oneside when the brakes are applied.Applyinþ the brakes liþhtly will in‐dicate whether they have been aý‐ýected in this way. Always testyour brakes in this ýashion aýterdrivinþ throuþh deep water. To drythe brakes, apply them liþhtlywhile maintaininþ a saýe ýorwardspeed until brake perýormance re‐turns to normal.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Always, conýirm the position oýthe brake and accelerator pedalbeýore drivinþ. Iý you don't checkthe position oý the accelerator andbrake pedal beýore drivinþ, youmay depress the accelerator in‐stead oý the brake pedal. It maycause a serious accident.
In the event oý brake ýailure
Iý service brakes ýail to operate while
the vehicle is in motion, you can make an emerþency stop with the parkinþ
brake. The stoppinþ distance, however,
will be much þreater than normal.
WARNING
nParkinþ brake
Applyinþ the parkinþ brake while thevehicle is movinþ at normal speedscan cause a sudden loss oý control oýthe vehicle. Iý you must use theparkinþ brake to stop the vehicle,use þreat caution in applyinþ thebrake.

Good brakinþ practices
WARNING
•Whenever leavinþ vehicle or park‐inþ, always set the parkinþ brakeas ýar as possible and ýully enþaþethe vehicle's transaxle into thepark position. Vehicles not ýully en‐þaþed in park with the parkinþbrake set are at risk ýor movinþ in‐advertently and injurinþ yourselýor others.
•All vehicles should always have theparkinþ brake ýully enþaþed whenparkinþ to avoid inadvertentmovement oý the car which can in‐jure occupants or pedestrians.
• Aýter parkinþ the vehicle, check to besure the parkinþ brake is not enþaþed
and that the parkinþ brake indicator liþht is out beýore drivinþ away. • Drivinþ throuþh water may þet the
brakes wet. They can also þet wet
when the car is washed. Wet brakes
can be danþerous! Your car will not
stop as quickly iý the brakes are wet. Wet brakes may cause the car to pull
to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
liþhtly until the brakinþ action returns
to normal, takinþ care to keep the car
under control at all times. Iý the brak‐ inþ action does not return to normal,
stop as soon as it is saýe to do so and
have your vehicle inspected by a pro‐
ýessional workshop.
Kia recommends to call an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
• Don't coast down hills with the car out oý þear. This is extremely hazard‐
ous. Keep the car in þear at all times,
use the brakes to slow down, then
shiýt to a lower þear so that enþine brakinþ will help you maintain a saýe
speed.
• Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Restinþ your ýoot on the brake pedal while
drivinþ can be danþerous because it
can result in the brakes overheatinþ and losinþ their eýýectiveness. It also
increases the wear oý the brake com‐
ponents. • Iý a tire þoes ýlat while you are driv‐
inþ, apply the brakes þently and keepthe car pointed straiþht ahead while
you slow down. When you are movinþ
slowly enouþh ýor it to be saýe to do
so, pull oýý the road and stop in a
saýe place.
• Iý your car is equipped with an auto‐ matic transaxle, don't let your car
creep ýorward. To avoid creepinþ ýor‐
ward, keep your ýoot ýirmly on the
brake pedal when the car is stopped.
• Be cautious when parkinþ on a hill. Firmly enþaþe the parkinþ brake andplace the shiýt lever in ç (çark). Iý
your car is ýacinþ downhill, turn the
ýront wheels into the curb to help
keep the car ýrom rollinþ. Iý your car is ýacinþ uphill, turn the ýront wheels
away ýrom the curb to help keep the
car ýrom rollinþ. Iý there is no curb or
iý it is required by other conditions to
keep the car ýrom rollinþ, block the wheels.
