Average fuel consumption
This mode calculates the average fuel
consumption from the total fuel used and
the distance since the last average con-
sumption reset. The total fuel used is cal-
culated from the fuel consumption input.
For an accurate calculation, drive more
than 500m (0.5 mile).
The meter's working range is from 0.0 to
99.9 MPG.
Pressing the TRIP button for more than 1
second, when the average fuel consump-
tion is displayed, clears the average fuel
consumption to zero (---).
Distance to empty
This mode indicates the estimated dis-
tance to empty from the current fuel in
the fuel tank. When the remaining dis-
tance is below 50 km (30 miles), a blink-
ing “----” symbol will be displayed.
Trip computer recognizes only the
amount of fuel consumed to the engine.
Therefore if the vehicle happens to
abnormal oil leakage, the trip computer
fails to sense causing the amount of fuel
more than it really is.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• If the vehicle is not on level ground or
the battery power has been interrupt-
ed, the “DISTANCE TO EMPTY”
function may not operate correctly.
The trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 6 liters of
fuel are added to the vehicle.
• Trip computer provides a driver with supplemental information about the
current operating status of your vehi-
cle. So the estimated distance to empty
can be changed according to operat-
ing status of your vehicle, average fuel
consumption and previously driving
style. Therefore the values approved
or displayed on LCD for the first time
can be different with your vehicle’s.
• The figure of distance to empty is esti- mated driving distance, so it can be
different from the driving distance
really is.

ECO ON/OFF mode (if equipped)
You can turn the ECOMINDERTMindica-
tor (which is identified on your instrument
dashboard by the “ECO” name) on/off on
the instrument cluster in this mode.
If you push the TRIP button more than 1
second in the ECOMINDER
TMindicator
ECO ON mode, then ECO OFF is dis-
played in the screen and the ECO indica-
tor turns off.
If you want to display the ECOMINDER
TM
indicator ECO again, press the TRIP but-
ton more than 1 second in the ECO OFF
mode and then ECO ON mode is dis-
played in the screen.
For more detailed explanations, refer to
"Warnings and indicators" in section 4.
Instrument panel illumination
(if equipped)
When the vehicle’s parking lights or
headlights are on, rotate the illumination
control knob to adjust the brightness of
the instrument panel illumination.
Warning lights / audible indicators
Checking operation
All warning lights are checked by turning
the ignition switch ON (do not start the
engine). Any light that does not illuminate
should be checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
After starting the engine, check to make
sure that all warning lights are off. If any
are still on, this indicates a situation that
needs attention. When releasing the
parking brake, the brake system warning
light should go off. The fuel warning light
will stay on if the fuel level is low.
Anti-lock brake system
(ABS) warning light (if
equipped)
This light illuminates if the key is turned
to ON and goes off in approximately 3
seconds if the system is operating nor-
mally.
If the light stays on, you may have a
problem with your ABS. Contact an
authorized Kia dealer as soon as possi-
ble.

Driving your vehicle
Malfunction indicator
(if equipped)
This indicator light is part of the Engine
Control System which monitors various
emission control system components. If
this light illuminates while driving, it indi-
cates that a potential problem has been
detected somewhere in the emission
control system.
Generally, your vehicle will continue to be
drivable and will not need towing, but
have the system checked by an author-
ized Kia dealer as soon as possible.
ECOMINDERTMindicator
(if equipped)
The ECOMINDERTMindicator is dis-
played to help you improve fuel efficiency
when you are driving.
The ECOMINDER
TMindicator will turn
the ECO light green on the instrument
panel when you are driving fuel effi-
ciently in the ECO ON mode.
If you don't want the indicator dis-
played, you can turn the ECO ON
mode to OFF mode by pressing the
TRIP button.
When the instant fuel consumption mode (if equipped) is displayed on the
LCD display or the system is not work-
ing properly, the indicator turns off. If
the indicator turns off when the instant
fuel consumption mode is not selected,
have the system checked by an author-
ized KIA dealer as soon as possible.
The fuel efficiency depends on the dri- ver's driving habit and road condition.
The system stops operating when the transaxle is in the P (Park), R
(Reverse), N (Neutral) position or
when the instant fuel consumption
mode is selected.
CAUTION
Prolonged driving with the
Emission Control SystemMalfunction Indicator Lamp ( ) illuminated may causedamage to the emission controlsystems which could effect dri-vability and/or fuel economy.

If the EmissionControl System
Malfunction Indicator Light ( ) begins to flash ON and OFF,potential catalytic converter dam-age is possible which could resultin loss of engine power. Have theEngine Control System inspectedas soon as possible by an author-ized Kia dealer.

control system is enabled.
The cruise indicator in the instrument
cluster is illuminated when the cruise
control ON-OFF switch on the steering
wheel is pushed.
The indicator goes off when the cruise
control ON-OFF switch is pushed again.
For more information about the use of
cruise control, refer to “Cruise control
system” in section 4.
Cruise SET indicator
The indicator illuminates when the cruise
function switch (SET - or RES +) is ON.
The cruise SET indicator in the instru-
ment cluster is illuminated when the
cruise control switch (SET - or RES +) is
pushed.
The cruise SET indicator does not illumi-
nate when the cruise control switch
(CANCEL) is pushed or the system is
disengaged.
Manual transaxle shift
indicator (if equipped)
This indicator informs you which gear is
desired while driving to save fuel.
For example
: Indicates that shifting up to the 3rdgear is desired (currently the shift
lever is in the 2nd gear).
: Indicates that shifting down to the 3rd gear is desired (currently the
shift lever is in the 4th gear).
✽ ✽ NOTICE
When the system is not working proper-
ly, up & down arrow indicator will blink
(Gear is not displayed).

associated with the maximum
load the tire can carry.
H - Speed Rating Symbol. See the speed rating chart in this section
for additional information.
Wheel size designation
Wheels are also marked with impor-
tant information that you need if you
ever have to replace one. The follow-
ing explains what the letters and
numbers in the wheel size designa-
tion mean.
Example wheel size designation:
5.5JX14
5.5 - Rim width in inches.
J - Rim contour designation.
14 - Rim diameter in inches.
Tire speed ratings
The chart below lists many of the dif-
ferent speed ratings currently being
used for passenger cars. The speed
rating is part of the tire size designa-
tion on the sidewall of the tire. This
symbol corresponds to that tire's
designed maximum safe operating
speed.
3. Checking tire life (TIN : Tire
Identification Number)
Any tires that are over 6 years, based
on the manufacturing date, tire
strength and performance, decline
with age naturally (even unused
spare tires). Therefore, the tires
(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 num-
bers indicate week and year manu-
factured.
For example:
DOT XXXX XXXX 1609 represents
that the tire was produced in the 16th
week of 2009.
S 180 km/h (112 mph)
T 190 km/h (118 mph)
H 210 km/h (130 mph) V 240 km/h (149 mph)Z Above 240 km/h (149 mph)
