• For more details on setting the
functions, refer to "LCD Display
Mode" in chapter 4.
• When lane markings are detected, the lane lines on the cluster will
change from gray to white and the
green ( ) indicator light will
illuminate.
Even though the steering is assist-
ed by Lane Keeping Assist, the
driver may control the steering
wheel.
The steering wheel may feel heav- ier or lighter when the steering
wheel is assisted by Lane Keeping
Assist than when it is not.
WARNING
The steering wheel may notbe assisted if the steering
wheel is held very tight or the
steering wheel is steered over
a certain degree.
Lane Keeping Assist does not operate at all times. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
safely steer the vehicle and to
maintain the vehicle in its
lane.
The hands-off warning mes- sage may appear late depend-
ing on road conditions. Always
have your hands on the steer-
ing wheel while driving.
If the steering wheel is held very lightly, the hands off
warning message may appear
because the function may not
recognize that the driver has
their hands on the steering
wheel.

WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using Lane Keeping
Assist:
The driver should hold theresponsibility to safely drive
and control the vehicle. Do
not solely rely on the function
and drive dangerously.
The operation of Lane Keeping Assist can be can-
celled or not work properly
depending on road conditions
and surroundings. Always be
cautious while driving.
Refer to "Limitations of the function" in chapter 5, if the
lane is not detected properly.
When you are towing a trailer or another vehicle, we recom-
mend that Lane Keeping
Assist is turned off due to
safety reasons.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If the vehicle is driven at highspeed, the steering wheel will
not be controlled. The driver
must always follow the speed
limit when using the function.
If any other function's warn- ing message is displayed or
audible warning is generated,
Lane Keeping Assist warning
message may not be dis-
played and audible warning
may not be generated.
You may not hear the warning sound of Lane Keeping Assist
if the surrounding is noisy.
If you attach objects to the steering wheel, steering may
not be assisted properly.
Lane Keeping Assist may not operate for 15 seconds after
the vehicle is started, or the
front view camera is initial-
ized.
Lane Keeping Assist will not operate when:
(Continued)(Continued)- The turn signal or hazardwarning flasher is turned on
- The vehicle is not driven in the center of the lane when
the function is turned on or
right after changing a lane
- ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or VSM (Vehicle
Stability Management) is
activated

Driving your vehicle
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many miles (kilometers) you can get
from a gallon (liter) of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as pos-
sible, use the following driving sug-
gestions to help save money in both
fuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at amoderate rate. Don't make "jack-
rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts
and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't race between stop-
lights. Try to adjust your speed to
the traffic so you don't have to
change speeds unnecessarily.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway,
is one of the most effective ways to
reduce fuel consumption. Don't "ride" the brake pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and
also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In addition, driving with
your foot resting on the brake pedal
may cause the brakes to overheat,
which reduces their effectiveness
and may lead to more serious con-
sequences.
Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary tire wear. Check the tire
pressures at least once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper align-
ment can result from hitting curbs
or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes
faster tire wear and may also result
in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption. Keep your vehicle in good condi-
tion. For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain your vehicle in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in
section 7. If you drive your vehicle
in severe conditions, more frequent
maintenance is required (see sec-
tion 7 for details).
Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi- mum service, your vehicle should
be kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be
allowed to accumulate on the
underside of the vehicle. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to
corrosion.
Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces- sary weight in your vehicle. Weight
reduces fuel economy.
Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.

Remember, your vehicle does not
require extended warm-up. After
the engine has started, allow the
engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds
prior to placing the vehicle in gear.
In very cold weather, however, give
your engine a slightly longer warm-
up period.
Don't “lug” or “over-rev” the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in a
very high gear resulting in engine
bucking. If this happens, shift to a
lower gear. Over-revving is racing
the engine beyond its safe limit.
This can be avoided by shifting at
the recommended speed. Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is
operated by engine power so your
fuel economy is reduced when you
use it.
Open windows at high speeds can reduce fuel economy.
Fuel economy is reduced by cross- winds and headwinds. To help off-
set some of this loss, slow down
when driving in these conditions.
Keeping a vehicle in good operating
condition is important both for econ-
omy and safety. Therefore, have an
authorized Kia dealer perform
scheduled inspections and mainte-
nance.
WARNING- Engine off during
motion
Never turn the engine off to
coast down hills or anytime the
vehicle is in motion. The power
steering and power brakes will
not function properly without
the engine running. In addition,
turning off the ignition while
driving could engage the steer-
ing wheel lock resulting in loss
of vehicle steering. Keep the
engine on and downshift to an
appropriate gear for engine
braking effect.
