Features of your vehicle
The parking assist system assists 
the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object issensed within the distance of 60 cm(24 in.) in front and  100 cm (39 in.)
behind the vehicle.This system is a supplemental sys-tem and it is not intended to nor does
it replace the need for extreme care
and attention of the driver. 
The sensing range and objects 
detectable by the sensors are limit-
ed. Whenever moving pay as muchattention to what is in front and
behind of you as you would in a vehi-
cle without a parking assist system.
Operation of the parking assist system
Operating condition
 This system activates when the
parking assist button is pressed 
with the ignition switch ON.
 The parking assist button turns on automatically and activates the
parking assist system when you
shift the gear to the R (Reverse)
position. It will turn off automatical-
ly when you shift out of R (Reverse)
and drive above 20 km/h.
PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM
WARNING
The parking assist system 
should only be considered as a
supplementary function. The
driver must check the front and
rear view. The operational func-tion of the parking assist system
can be affected by many factors
and conditions of the surround-
ings, so the responsibility rests
always with the driver.

NOTICE
1. The warning may not sound sequentially depending on the 
speed and shapes of the objects
detected.
2. The parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle bumper
height or sensor installation has
been modified. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor
performance.
3. Sensor may not recognize  objects less than 30 cm from the sensor,
or it may sense an incorrect dis-
tance.  Use with caution.
4. When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until
the stains are removed using a
soft cloth. 
5. Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor.  Sensor damage could
occur. ✽✽
NOTICE
This system can only sense objects 
within the range and location of the
sensors, it can not detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim objects,
or objects located between sensors
may not be detected. 
Always visually check in front and
behind the vehicle when driving.
Be sure to inform any drivers in the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.WARNING  
Pay close attention when the 
vehicle is driven close to
objects on the road, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children. Be aware that some
objects may not be detected by
the sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor. Always per-
form a visual inspection to
make sure the vehicle is clear of
all obstructions before moving
the vehicle in any direction.

Battery saver function    
 The purpose of this feature is to
prevent the battery from being dis- 
charged. The system automatically
turns off the parking lights when
the driver turns off the engine and
opens the driver-side door.
 With this feature, the parking lights will be turned off automatically if
the driver parks on the side of roadat night. 
If necessary, to keep the lights on 
when the engine is turned off per-
form the following: 
1) Open the driver-side door.
2) Turn the parking lights OFF and ON again. Headlight escort function 
The headlights (and/or parking 
lights) will remain on for approxi-
mately 5 minutes after the engine
start/stop button is turned to the ACC
or OFF position. However, if the dri-
ver’s door is opened and closed, the
headlights are turned off after 15
seconds. 
The headlights can be turned off by 
pressing the lock button on the smart
key twice or turning off the light
switch from the headlight or Autolight position.
Daytime running light  (if equipped) 
The Daytime Running Lights (DRL) 
can make it easier for others to see
the front of your vehicle during the
day. DRL can be helpful in many dif-
ferent driving conditions, and it is
especially helpful after dawn and
before sunset. 
The DRL system will turn the dedi- cated lamp OFF when: 
1. The headlight or fog lamp switch is
ON.
2. The engine is OFF.
LIGHTING 
CAUTION
If the driver gets out of the vehi-
cle through other doors (exceptdriver's door), the battery saver function does not operate andthe headlight escort functiondoes not turn off automatically.Therefore, It causes the battery to be discharged. In this case,make sure to turn off the lampbefore getting out of the vehicle.

Air conditioning system operation tips   
 If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather, 
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
 To help reduce moisture inside of the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the airconditioning system.
 During air conditioning system operation, you may occasionallynotice a slight change in enginespeed as the air conditioning com-
pressor cycles. This is a normal
system operation characteristic.
 Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per-
formance.  When using the air conditioning
system, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even puddling) on the
ground under the passenger side
of the vehicle. This is a normal sys-
tem operation characteristic.
 Operating the air conditioning sys- tem in the recirculated air position
provides maximum cooling, how-
ever, continual operation in this
mode may cause the air inside the
vehicle to become stale.
 During cooling operation, you may occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and
humid air intake. This is a normal
system operation characteristics. Climate control air filter The climate control air filter installed 
behind the glove box filters the dustor other pollutants that come into the
vehicle from the outside through theheating and air conditioning system.
If dust or other pollutants accumulate
in the filter over a period of time, the
air flow from the air vents may
decrease, resulting in moisture accu-
mulation on the inside of the wind-
shield even when the outside (fresh)
air position is selected. If this hap-
pens, we recommend that the cli-
mate control air filter be replaced by
an authorized Kia dealer.

If the air conditioning and outside (fresh) air position are not selected
automatically, adjust the correspon-
ding button manually. If the  posi-
tion is selected, lower fan speed is
adjusted to a higher fan speed.To defrost outside windshield   
1. Set the fan speed to the highest
position.
2. Set the temperature to the extreme hot (HI) position.
3. Press the defrost button ( ). 
4. The air conditioning will be turned on according to the detected 
ambient temperature and outside(fresh) air position will be selected
automatically.
If the  position is selected, lower
fan speed is adjusted to a higher fanspeed. Defogging logic 
To reduce the probability of fogging up the inside of the windshield, the
air intake or air conditioning are con-trolled automatically according to
certain conditions such as   or 
position. To cancel or return the
defogging logic, do the following.

Features of your vehicle
Air ventilation seat (if equipped) 
The air ventilation is provided to cool 
the seats during hot weather by
blowing air through small vent holes
on the surface of the seats and seat-
backs. While the engine is running,
press the switch to cool the seat.When the operation of the air ventila- 
tion is not needed, keep the switchesin the OFF position. 
 Each time you press the switch,
the airflow will change as follows:
 When pressing the switch for more than 1.5 seconds with the seat 
cooler operating, the seat cooler
will turn OFF.
 When the air ventilation seat is turned on, the seat may get cooler
after about 5 minutes.
 Because the air ventilation uses the air in the vehicle, cooling effi-
ciency depends on the tempera-
ture of the air. In order to improve
cooling efficiency, use the air con-
ditioning system together.
 The air ventilation seat defaults to the OFF position whenever the
ignition switch is turned to the ONposition.
