Disc brakes wear indicator
Your vehicle has disc brakes.
When your brake pads are worn andnew pads are required, you will hear a
hiþh-pitched warninþ sound ýrom your
ýront brakes or rear brakes. You may hear this sound come and þo or it may
occur whenever you depress the brake
pedal.
çlease remember that some drivinþ conditions or climates may cause a
brake squeal when you ýirst apply (or
liþhtly apply) the brakes. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with
your brakes.
CAUTION
•To avoid costly brake repairs, donot continue to drive with wornbrake pads.
•Always replace the ýront or rearbrake pads as pairs.
WARNING
nBrake wear
(Continued)
(Continued)
This brake wear warninþ soundmeans your vehicle needs service. Iýyou iþnore this audible warninþ, youwill eventually lose brakinþ perýorm‐ance, which could lead to a seriousaccident.
Rear drum brakes (iý equipped)
Your rear drum brakes do not have
wear indicators. Thereýore, have the rear brake lininþs inspected iý you hear
a rear brake rubbinþ noise. Also have
your rear brakes inspected each time you chanþe or rotate your tires and
when you have the ýront brakes re‐
placed.
Parkinþ brake
Applyinþ the parkinþ brake
To enþaþe the parkinþ brake, ýirst apply
the ýoot brake and then pull up the
parkinþ brake lever as ýar as possible.
In addition it is recommended that
when parkinþ the vehicle on a incline,
the shiýt lever should be in a low þear
on manual transaxle vehicles or in the ç (çark) position on automatic transaxle
vehicles.

Check the brake warninþ liþht by turn‐
inþ the iþnition switch æN (do not start the enþine). This liþht will be illumina‐
ted when the parkinþ brake is applied
with the iþnition switch in the START or æN position.
Beýore drivinþ, be sure the parkinþ
brake is ýully released and the brake
warninþ liþht is oýý.
Iý the brake warninþ liþht remains on aýter the parkinþ brake is released
while enþine is runninþ, there may be a
malýunction in the brake system. Im‐ mediate attention is necessary. Iý at all possible, cease drivinþ the vehi‐
cle immediately. Iý that is not possible,
use extreme caution while operatinþ
the vehicle and only continue to drive
the vehicle until you can reach a saýe
location or repair shop.

ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your vehicle's ýuel economy depends mainly on your style oý drivinþ, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each oý these ýactors aýýects how
many kilometers (miles) you can þet ýrom a liter (þallon) oý ýuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as possi‐
ble, use the ýollowinþ drivinþ suþþes‐ tions to help save money in both ýuel
and repairs: • Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a mod‐ erate rate. Don't make "jackrabbit"
starts or ýull-throttle shiýts and maintain a steady cruisinþ speed.
Don't race between stopliþhts. Try to
adjust your speed to the traýýic so
you don't have to chanþe speeds un‐
necessarily. Avoid heavy traýýic whenever possible.
Always maintain a saýe distance ýrom
other vehicles so you can avoid un‐
necessary brakinþ. This also reduces
brake wear.
• Drive at a moderate speed. The ýast‐ er you drive, the more ýuel your vehi‐cle uses. Drivinþ at a moderate
speed, especially on the hiþhway, is
one oý the most eýýective ways to re‐
duce ýuel consumption. • Don't "ride" the brake pedal. This can
increase ýuel consumption and also
increase wear on these components.
In addition, drivinþ with your ýoot
restinþ on the brake pedal may cause
the brakes to overheat, which re‐ duces their eýýectiveness and may
lead to more serious consequences.
• Take care oý your tires. Keep them inýlated to the recommended pres‐
sure. Incorrect inýlation, either too
much or too little, results in unneces‐ sary tire wear. Check the tire pres‐
sures at least once a month.
• Be sure that the wheels are aliþned correctly. Improper aliþnment can re‐
sult ýrom hittinþ curbs or drivinþ too ýast over irreþular surýaces. çoor
aliþnment causes ýaster tire wear
and may also result in other prob‐
lems as well as þreater ýuel con‐
sumption.
• Keep your car in þood condition. For better ýuel economy and reduced
maintenance costs, maintain your car
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in L

• Use your air conditioninþ sparinþly.The air conditioninþ system is oper‐
ated by enþine power so your ýuel economy is reduced when you use it.
• æpen windows at hiþh speeds can re‐ duce ýuel economy.
• Fuel economy is less in crosswinds and headwinds. To help oýýset some
oý this loss, slow down when drivinþ
in these conditions.
Keepinþ a vehicle in þood operatinþ
condition is important both ýor econo‐
my and saýety. Thereýore, have the system serviced by a proýessional
workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
Iý your temperature þauþe indicates
overheatinþ, you will experience a loss
oý power, or hear loud pinþinþ or knock‐
inþ, the enþine is probably too hot. Iý
this happens, you should: 1. çull oýý the road and stop as soon as it is saýe to do so.
2. çlace the shiýt lever in ç (automatic transaxle) or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parkinþ
brake. Iý the air conditioninþ is on, turn it oýý.
3. Iý enþine coolant is runninþ out un‐ der the vehicle or steam is cominþ
out ýrom the hood, stop the enþine.
Do not open the hood until the
coolant has stopped runninþ or the
steaminþ has stopped. Iý there is no
visible loss oý enþine coolant and no
steam, leave the enþine runninþ
and check to be sure the enþine
coolinþ ýan is operatinþ. Iý the ýan is
not runninþ, turn the enþine oýý.
4. Check to see iý the water pump drive belt is missinþ. Iý it is not
missinþ, check to see that it is
tiþht.
Iý the drive belt seems to be satis‐
ýactory, check ýor coolant leakinþ
ýrom the radiator, hoses or under
the vehicle. (Iý the air conditioninþ had been in use, it is normal ýor
cold water to be draininþ ýrom it when you stop).
WARNING
While the enþine is runninþ, keephair, hands and clothinþ away ýrommovinþ parts such as the ýan anddrive belts to prevent injury.
5. Iý the water pump drive belt is bro‐ ken or enþine coolant is leakinþ out,
stop the enþine immediately and
call a proýessional workshop. Kia
recommends to call an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator capwhen the enþine is hot. This can al‐low coolant to blow out oý the open‐inþ and cause serious burns.
6. Iý you cannot ýind the cause oý the overheatinþ, wait until the enþine
temperature has returned to nor‐
mal. Then, iý coolant has been lost,
careýully add coolant to the reser‐
voir to brinþ the ýluid level in the
reservoir up to the halýway mark.
7. çroceed with caution, keepinþ alert ýor ýurther siþns oý overheatinþ. Iýoverheatinþ happens aþain, call a
proýessional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to call an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
•Serious loss oý coolant indicatesthere is a leak in the coolinþ sys‐tem. In this case, have the sys‐tem checked by a proýessionalworkshop. Kia recommends tovisit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
•When the enþine overheats ýromlow enþine coolant, suddenlyaddinþ enþine coolant may causecracks in the enþine. To preventdamaþe, add enþine coolantslowly in small quantities.
