EMERGENCY COMMODITY (IF EQUIPPED) 
There are some emergency com- 
modities in the vehicle to help yourespond to the emergency situation. 
Fire extinguisher 
If there is small fire and you know 
how to use the fire extinguisher, take
the following steps carefully. 
1. Pull the pin at the top of the extin- guisher that keeps the handle from being accidentally pressed.
2. Aim the nozzle toward the base of the fire.
3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft) away from the fire and squeeze
the handle to discharge the extin-
guisher. If you release the handle,
the discharge will stop.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at the base of the fire. After the fire
appears to be out, watch it careful-
ly since it may re-ignite. First aid kit  There are some items such as scis- 
sors, bandage and adhesive tape
and etc. in the kit to give first aid toan injured person. 
Triangle reflector  
Place the triangle reflector on the 
road to warn oncoming vehicles dur-
ing emergencies, such as when the
vehicle is parked by the roadside due
to any problems. 
Tire pressure gauge  (If equipped) 
Tires normally lose some air in day- 
to-day use, and you may have to add
a few pounds of air periodically and it
is not usually a sign of a leaking tire,
but of normal wear. Always check tirepressure when the tires are coldbecause tire pressure increases with
temperature. To check the tire pressure, take the
following steps; 
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap
that is located on the rim of the tire.
2. Press and hold the gauge against the tire valve. Some air will escape 
as you begin and more will escape if
you don't press the gauge in firmly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will acti- vate the gauge.
4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge to know whether the tire
pressure is low or high.
5. Adjust the tire pressures to the specified pressure. Refer to “Tires
and wheels” in section 8.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.

forming any maintenance or inspec-
tion procedures. 
Inadequate, incomplete or insuffi- 
cient servicing may result in opera-
tional problems with your vehicle that
could lead to vehicle damage, an
accident, or personal injury. Owner’s responsibility  
✽✽
NOTICE
Maintenance Service and Record 
Retention are the owner's responsi-
bility.
We recommend in general that you 
have your vehicle serviced by an
authorized Kia dealer. 
You should retain documents that 
show proper maintenance has been
performed on your vehicle in accor-dance with the scheduled mainte-
nance service charts shown on the
following pages. You need this infor-
mation to establish your compliance
with the servicing and maintenance
requirements of your vehicle war-
ranties. 
Detailed warranty information is pro- 
vided in your Service Passport. Repairs and adjustments required as a result of improper maintenance or
a lack of required maintenance are
not covered when your vehicle is

Maintenance
(Continued) 
 After performing maintenancework, the battery cap and fuse 
box cover are required to
close. The connector is alsorequired to connect if per-
formed. If not, it can malfunc-tion because the electric com-
ponents are exposed to mois-
ture.WARNING - Maintenance
work
 Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be danger- 
ous. You can be seriously
injured while performing some
maintenance procedures. If
you lack sufficient knowledge
and experience or the propertools and equipment to do the
work, we recommend that the
system be servied by an
authorized Kia dealer.
 Working under the hood with the engine running is danger-
ous. It becomes even more
dangerous when you wear jew-
elry or loose clothing. These
can become entangled in mov-
ing parts and result in injury.
Therefore, if you must run the
engine while working under the
hood, make certain that you
remove all jewelry (especially
rings, bracelets, watches, and
necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose
clothing before getting near theengine or cooling fans.
(Continued)
CAUTION
 Do not put heavy objects orapply excessive force on topof the engine cover (ifequipped) or fuel related parts.
 When you inspect the fuel system (fuel lines and fuelinjection devices), we recom- mend that you contact anauthorized Kia dealer.
 Do not drive long time with the engine cover (if equipped)removed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 When checking the engine room, do not go near  fire.
 Fuel, washer fluid, etc. are flammable oils that may causefire.
 Before touching the battery, ignition cables and electricalwiring, you should disconnectthe battery "-" terminal. Youmay get an electric shock from the electric current.

Wheel replacement  
When replacing the metal wheels for 
any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim widthand offset. Tire traction 
Tire traction can be reduced if you 
drive on worn tires, tires that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces. Tires should be
replaced when tread wear indicators
appear. Slow down whenever there
is rain, snow or ice on the road toreduce the possibility of losing con-
trol of the vehicle. Tire maintenance  In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease
tire wear. If you find a tire is worn
unevenly, we recommend that the
wheel alignment be checked by an
authorized Kia dealer. 
When you have new tires installed, 
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort and
tire life. Additionally, a tire should
always be rebalanced if it is removedfrom the wheel.
WARNING
A wheel that is not the correct 
size may adversely affect wheel
and bearing life, braking and
stopping abilities, handling char-
acteristics, ground clearance,
body-to-tire clearance, snow
chain clearance, speedometer
and odometer calibration, head-
light aim and bumper height.
(Continued) 
 Using tires and wheels other than the recommended sizes 
could cause unusual handling
characteristics and poor vehi-
cle control, resulting in a seri-ous accident.
 Wheels that do not meet Kia’s specifications may fit poorly
and result in damage to the
vehicle or unusual handling
and poor vehicle control.
 The ABS works by comparing the speed of the wheels. The
tire size affects wheel speed.
When replacing tires, all 4
tires must use the same size
originally supplied with the
vehicle. Using tires of a differ-
ent size can cause the
ABS(Anti-lock Brake System)
and ESP(Electronic Stability
Program) to work irregularly.

Tire speed ratings   
The chart below lists many of the dif- 
ferent speed ratings currently being
used for passenger car tires. The
speed rating is part of the tire size
designation on the sidewall of the
tire. This symbol corresponds to that
tire's designed maximum safe oper-ating speed.3. Checking tire life (TIN : Tire
Identification Number) 
Any tires that are over 6 years old, 
based on the manufacturing date,(including the spare tire) should be
replaced by new ones. You can find
the manufacturing date on the tire
sidewall (possibly on the inside of the
wheel), displaying the DOT Code.
The DOT Code is a series of num-
bers on a tire consisting of numbers
and English letters. The manufactur-
ing date is designated by the last four
digits (characters) of the DOT code. 
DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOO 
The front part of the DOT means a 
plant code number, tire size and tread
pattern and the last four numbers indi-
cate week and year manufactured. 
For example:
DOT XXXX XXXX 1614 represents 
that the tire was produced in the 16th
week of 2014.
WARNING - Tire age
Tires degrade over time, even 
when they are not being used. 
Regardless of the remaining 
tread, it is recommended that
tires generally be replaced after
six (6) years of normal service.
Heat caused by hot climates orfrequent high loading conditions
can accelerate the aging
process. Failure to follow this
warning can result in sudden tire
failure, which could lead to a
loss of control and an accident
involving serious injury or death.

4. Tire ply composition and mate-rial
The number of layers or plies of rub- 
ber-coated fabric in the tire. Tire
manufacturers also must indicate the
materials in the tire, which include
steel, nylon, polyester, and others.
The letter "R" means radial ply con-
struction; the letter "D" means diago-
nal or bias ply construction; and theletter "B" means belted-bias ply con-
struction.
5. Maximum permissible inflationpressure
This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should be put in
the tire. Do not exceed the maximum
permissible inflation pressure. Refer
to the Tire and Loading Information
label for recommended inflation
pressure.
6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum 
load in kilograms and pounds that can
be carried by the tire. When replacing
the tires on the vehicle, always use a
tire that has the same load rating as
the factory installed tire.
7. Uniform tire quality grading 
Quality grades can be found where 
applicable on the tire sidewall
between tread shoulder and maxi-
mum section width. 
For example:
TREADWEAR 200 
TRACTION AA 
TEMPERATURE A Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a compara- 
tive rating based on the wear rate ofthe tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified govern-
ment test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one-and-a-
half times (1½) as well on the gov-
ernment course as a tire graded 100. 
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions
of their use, however, and may
depart significantly from the norm
due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate. 
These grades are molded on the 
side-walls of passenger vehicle tires.
The tires available as standard or
optional equipment on your vehicle
may vary with respect to grade.

LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specifiedwattage.
✽✽ NOTICE
After driving in heavy rain or wash- 
ing the vehicle, headlight and tail-
light lenses could appear frosty. This
condition is caused by the tempera-
ture difference between the lamp
inside and outside.  This is similar to
the condensation on your windows
inside your vehicle during the rain
and doesn’t indicate a problem with
your vehicle. If the water leaks into
the lamp bulb circuitry, we recom-
mend that the system be checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.WARNING  - Working  on
the lights
Prior to working on the light, 
firmly apply the parking brake,
ensure that the ignition switchis turned to the LOCK position
and turn off the lights to avoid
sudden movement of the vehi-
cle and burning your fingers or
receiving an electric shock.
CAUTION
Be sure to replace the burned- out bulb with one of the samewattage rating. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the fuseor electric wiring system.
CAUTION
 If you don’t have necessary tools, the correct bulbs andthe expertise, we recommend that you consult an authorizedKia dealer. In many cases, it isdifficult to replace vehicle light bulbs because otherparts of the vehicle must beremoved before you can get to the bulb. This is especially trueif you have to remove the head-light assembly to get to the bulb(s). Removing/installingthe headlight assembly canresult in damage to the vehicle.
 Do not install additional bulb or LED. If you install that, thelamp may not be operatedproperly and fuse box or elec-tric wiring system may have problem.

Exterior care
Exterior general caution 
It is very important to follow the label 
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warningand caution statements that appearon the label.
Finish maintenance
Washing  
To help protect your vehicle’s finish 
from rust and deterioration, wash itthoroughly and frequently at least once
a month with lukewarm or cold water. 
If you use your vehicle for off-road 
driving, you should wash it after each
off-road trip. Pay special attention to
the removal of any accumulation of
salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign mate-
rials. Make sure the drain holes in the
lower edges of the doors and rocker
panels are kept clear and clean. 
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings, 
industrial pollution and similar
deposits can damage your vehicle’s
finish if not removed immediately. 
Even prompt washing with plain water 
may not completely remove all these
deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on
painted surfaces, may be used. 
After washing, rinse the vehicle thor- 
oughly with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not allow soap to dry on the finish.
APPEARANCE CARECAUTION
 Do not use strong soap, chem-
ical detergents or hot water,and do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight or when thebody of the vehicle is warm.
 Be careful when washing the side windows of your vehicle.Especially, with high-pressure water, water may leak throughthe windows and wet the inte-rior.
 To prevent damage to plastic parts and lamps, do not cleanwith chemical solvents orstrong detergents.
WARNING  - Wet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test 
the brakes while driving slowly
to see if they have been affected
by water. If braking performance
is impaired, dry the brakes by
applying them lightly while main-
taining a slow forward speed.

Recommended SAE viscosity 
number    Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has 
an effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and
engine oil flowability). Lower viscosi-
ty engine oils can provide better fuel
economy and cold weather perform-
ance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfac-
tory lubrication in hot weather.Using oils of any viscosity other thanthose recommended could result in
engine damage. When choosing an oil, consider the 
range of temperature your vehicle will
be operated in before the next oil
change. Proceed to select the recom-
mended oil viscosity from the chart.
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area 
around any filler plug, drain
plug, or dipstick before check-
ing or draining any lubricant.
This is especially important in
dusty or sandy areas and when
the vehicle is used on unpaved
roads. Cleaning the plug and
dipstick areas will prevent dirt
and grit from entering the
engine and other mechanisms
that could be damaged.
