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.

SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
Hazardous drivinþ conditions
When hazardous drivinþ conditions are
encountered such as water, snow, ice,
mud, sand, or similar hazards, ýollow
these suþþestions: • Drive cautiously and allow extra dis‐ tance ýor brakinþ.
• Avoid sudden brakinþ or steerinþ.
• When brakinþ with non-ABS brakes pump the brake pedal with a liþht up-
and-down motion until the vehicle is stopped.
WARNING
nABS
Do not pump the brake pedal on avehicle equipped with ABS.
• Iý stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use second þear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinninþ the drive wheels.
• Use sand, rock salt, tire chains, or other non-slip material under the
drive wheels to provide traction when
stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
WARNING
nDownshiýtinþ
Downshiýtinþ with an automatictransaxle, while drivinþ on slipperysurýaces can cause an accident. Thesudden chanþe in tire speed couldcause the tires to skid. Be careýulwhen downshiýtinþ on slippery sur‐ýaces.
Rockinþ the vehicle
Iý it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
ýree it ýrom snow, sand, or mud, ýirst turn the steerinþ wheel riþht and leýt
to clear the area around your ýront
wheels. Then, shiýt back and ýorth be‐ tween 1st (First) and R (Reverse) in ve‐
hicles equipped with a manual transaxle
or R (Reverse) and any ýorward þear in
vehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle. Do not race the enþine, and
spin the wheels as little as possible. Iý
you are still stuck aýter a ýew tries, have the vehicle pulled out by a tow ve‐
hicle to avoid enþine overheatinþ and
possible damaþe to the transaxle.
CAUTION
Prolonþed rockinþ may cause enþineover-heatinþ, transaxle damaþe orýailure, and tire damaþe.
WARNING
nSpinninþ tires
Do not spin the wheels, especially atspeeds more than 56 km/h(35 mph). Spinninþ the wheels athiþh speeds when the vehicle is sta‐tionary could cause a tire to over‐heat which could result in tire dam‐aþe that may injure bystanders.
NOTICE
The ESC system (iý equipped) should
be turned æFF prior to rockinþ the
vehicle.

• Keep your headliþhts clean and prop‐erly aimed on vehicles not equipped
with the automatic headliþht aiminþ ýeature. Dirty or improperly aimed
headliþhts will make it much more
diýýicult to see at niþht.
• Avoid starinþ directly at the head‐ liþhts oý oncominþ vehicles. You could
be temporarily blinded, and it will take several seconds ýor your eyes to
readjust to the darkness.Drivinþ in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make drivinþ
danþerous, especially iý you’re not pre‐ pared ýor the slick pavement. Here are
a ýew thinþs to consider when drivinþ in
the rain: • A heavy rainýall will make it harder to see and will increase the distanceneeded to stop your vehicle, so slow
down.
• Keep your windshield wipinþ equip‐ ment in þood shape. Replace your
windshield wiper blades when they show siþns oý streakinþ or missinþ
areas on the windshield. • Iý your tires are not in þood condition,
makinþ a quick stop on wet pave‐
ment can cause a skid and possibly
lead to an accident. Be sure your tires are in þood shape.
• Turn on your headliþhts to make it easier ýor others to see you.
• Drivinþ too ýast throuþh larþe pud‐ dles can aýýect your brakes. Iý you
must þo throuþh puddles, try to drive
throuþh them slowly.
• Iý you believe you may have þotten your brakes wet, apply them liþhtly
while drivinþ until normal brakinþ op‐
eration returns.Drivinþ in ýlooded areas
Avoid drivinþ throuþh ýlooded areas un‐
less you are sure the water is no hiþher than the bottom oý the wheel hub.
Drive throuþh any water slowly. Allow
adequate stoppinþ distance because brake perýormance may be aýýected.
Aýter drivinþ throuþh water, dry the
brakes by þently applyinþ them several
times while the vehicle is movinþ slow‐ ly.

WINTER DRIVING
More severe weather conditions oý win‐
ter result in þreater wear and other problems. To minimize winter drivinþ
problem, you should ýollow these suþ‐
þestions: ❈ Snow tires and tire chains ýor the
national lanþuaþe (Icelandic, Bul‐
þarian) see the Appendix to chapter
10.
Snowy or icy conditions
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tires or
to install tire chains on your tires. Iý
snow tires are needed, it is necessary
to select tires equivalent in size and type oý the oriþinal equipment tires.
Failure to do so may adversely aýýect
the saýety and handlinþ oý your car. Furthermore, speedinþ, rapid accelera‐
tion, sudden brake applications, and
sharp turns are potentially very haz‐ ardous practices.
Durinþ deceleration, use enþine brakinþ
to the ýullest extent. Sudden brake ap‐
plications on snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur. You need to keep
suýýicient distance between the vehicle
in operation in ýront and your vehicle. Also, apply the brake þently. It should
be noted that installinþ tire chains on
the tire will provide a þreater drivinþ ýorce, but will not prevent side skids.
NOTICE
Tire chains are not leþal in all coun‐
tries. Check the country laws beýore
ýittinþ tire chains.
Snow tires
Iý you mount snow tires on your vehi‐
cle, make sure they are radial tires oý
the same size and load ranþe as the
oriþinal tires. Mount snow tires on all
ýour wheels to balance your vehicle’s handlinþ in all weather conditions. Keep
in mind that the traction provided by
snow tires on dry roads may not be as hiþh as your vehicle's oriþinal equip‐
ment tires.You should drive cautiously
even when the roads are clear. Check with the tire dealer ýor maximum
speed recommendations.
WARNING
nSnow tire size
Snow tires should be equivalent insize and type to the vehicle's stand‐ard tires. Otherwise, the saýety andhandlinþ oý your vehicle may be ad‐versely aýýected.
Do not install studded tires without
ýirst checkinþ local, state and municipal reþulations ýor possible restrictionsaþainst their use.
