Driver’s Door Power Window Controls
All windows can be opened or closed using the power
window master control on the driver’s door. To open a
window, press down on the corresponding power win-
dow switch. To close a window, pull up on the corre-
sponding power window switch.Driver’s Window Automatic-Down Window
SwitchThe driver’s window has an “Automatic-Down” fea-
ture. To activate the express-down feature, momentari-
ly depress the front of the switch to the second detent
position. To cancel this feature, pull up on the front of
the switch and then release it.
Driver’s Power Window SwitchThe driver’s power window switch provides two (2)
separate window-down functions.
 Depressing the driver’s power window switch com-
pletely, automatically lowers (Automatic-Down) the
driver’s window. To cancel this function, pull up on
the front of the switch and release it.
 Depressing the driver’s power window switch par-
tially (to the first detent) provides precise control of

from unintentional window operation, espe-
cially to children.
 Always double check to make sure all arms,
hands, and other obstructions are safely out
of the way before closing a window.✻ ✻

If you experience buffeting and pulsation (wind
shock) with either side window open, you should
open the opposite window slightly to reduce the
condition.

NOTICE When cleaning the seats, do not use an organic
solvent such as thinner, benzene, alcohol and
gasoline. Doing so may damage the surface of
the heater or seats.
 To prevent overheating the seat warmer, do not
place blankets, cushions or seat covers on the
seats while the seat warmer is in operation.
 Do not place heavy or sharp objects on seats
equipped with seat warmers. Damage to the
seat warming components could occur.

The air bags will completely inflate and deflate in
less than 1/10 of one second. The speed of inflation
and deflation protects the driver’s ability to operate the
vehicle. This is important in crashes where a vehicle
continues to move after an impact and the driver still
has some control of the vehicle’s steering, braking,
throttle and/or transmission systems.
It is virtually impossible for you to see the air bags
inflate during an accident. It is much more likely that
you will simply see the deflated air bags hanging out
of their storage compartments after the collision.
In order to help provide protection in a severe colli-
sion, the air bags must inflate rapidly. However, that
speed also causes the air bags to expand with a great
deal of force. The speed of this inflation has been
determined by the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (CMVSS) to reduce the likelihood of serious
or life-threatening injuries and is thus a mandatory part
of air bag design.Thus, air bag inflation could also cause injuries which
normally can include facial abrasions, bruises and bro-
ken bones. However, there are even circumstances
under which contact with the steering wheel air bag
can cause fatal injuries, especially if the occupant is
positioned excessively close to the steering wheel.

(Continued)
 Do not get back into a vehicle once you have
begun refueling. Do not touch, rub or slide
against any item or fabric (polyester, satin,
nylon, etc.) capable of producing static elec-
tricity. Static electricity discharge can ignite
fuel vapors resulting in explosion. If you
must re-enter the vehicle, you should once
again eliminate potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline source.
 When using a portable fuel container be sure
to place the container on the ground prior to
refueling. Static electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel vapors causing a
fire. Once refueling has begun, contact with
the vehicle should be maintained until the
filling is complete. Use only portable fuel con-
tainers designed to carry and store gasoline.
 Do not use cellular phones around a gas sta-
tion or while refueling any vehicle. Electric
current and/or electronic interference from
cellular phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If you must use your cellular phone, use it in a
place away from the gas station.
 When refueling always shut the engine off.
Sparks produced by electrical components
related to the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Always insure that the engine
is OFF before and during refueling. Once
refueling is complete, check to make sure
the fuel filler cap and door are securely
closed, before starting the engine.
 Do not light any fire around a gas station.
DO NOT use matches or a lighter and DO
NOT SMOKE or leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station especially dur-
ing refueling. Automotive fuel is highly
flammable and can, when ignited, result in
explosion by flames.
 If a fire breaks out during refueling, leave
the vicinity of the vehicle, and immediately
contact the manager of the gas station or
contact the police and local fire department.
Follow any safety instructions they provide.

Driving Your Vehicle4-30Continuously ON :
If the CHECK ENGINE light comes ON while driving
and illuminates continuously, a potential problem has
been discovered in the ECS or one of the exhaust sys-
tem components. Generally, the vehicle will continue
to be driveable but it should be checked by an autho-
rized Kia dealer as soon as possible. This condition is
unlikely to lead to engine damage unless a decrease in
vehicle power or poor running conditions is immedi-
ately apparent.
Malfunction Indicator The CHECK ENGINE or malfunction indicator light is
installed in your vehicle's instrument panel and
responds to signals from the vehicle's On Board
Diagnostic (OBD -II) System. The OBD-II System
monitors the performance of the vehicle's Emission
Control System (ECS), which is designed to reduce the
amount of air pollutants in engine exhaust to the levels
required by government regulations.
When you first start the engine, the CHECK ENGINE
light will illuminate briefly as a system check to con-
firm that the OBD-II System is operating properly. As
the engine starts, this light turns off. However, if at
any time the OBD-II system detects a faulty signal or
determines that the ECS is not performing to specifica-
tion, the CHECK ENGINE light will illuminate contin-
uously or flash.

4-35 Turn Signals
The same lever that controls the headlights also con-
trols the turn signals.
The ignition switch must be ON for the turn signals
to function. Move the lever up or down to activate the
turn signals. The turn signals will self-cancel after a
turn is completed. If the indicator continues to flash
after a turn, manually return the lever to the OFF (mid-
dle) position.
Lane Change Signals
To signal a lane change, move the turn signal lever
slightly and hold it in position. The lever will return to
the OFF (middle) position when released.
Green arrow indicators on the instrument panel indi-
cate which turn signal is operating. If an indicator
stays ON and does not flash or if it flashes abnormally,
one or more of the turn signal bulbs may be burned out
and will require replacement.Daytime Running Lights (DRL)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 different driving condi-
tions, but they can be especially helpful in the short
periods after dawn and before sunset. The DRL system
will make your low-beam headlights turn OFF when:
 The headlight switch is ON.
 The parking brake is engaged.
 The engine stops.
