D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving
position. The transmission will auto-
matically shift, providing the best fuel
economy and power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or climbing grades,
depress the accelerator fully, at which
time the transmission will automati-
cally downshift to the next lower gear.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into D (Drive).
Manual Mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in motion, Manual Mode is selected
by pushing the shift lever from the D
(Drive) position into the manual gate.
To return to D (Drive) range opera-
tion, push the shift lever back into the
main gate.
Manual Mode manages the driving
dynamics by automatically adjusting
the steering effort and the engine
and transmission control logic for
enhanced driver performance. In Manual Mode, mo
ving the shift
lever backwards or forwards will
allow you to make gearshifts rapidly.
In contrast to a manual transmission,
the Man ual Mode allows gearshifts
with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
Up (+) : Push the lever forward once to shift up one gear.
Down (-) : Pull the lever backwards
once to shift down one gear.

NOTICE
• 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 Lane Keeping Assist
may not recognize that the
driver has their hands on the
steering wheel.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 If you attach objects to thesteering wheel, the hands-off
warning may not work proper-
ly.

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.

Normal Maintenance Schedule - Non Turbo Models
*1:As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should be checked on regular basis. The engi ne
oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of the recommended engine specifica\
tion. If the recom-
mended engine oil specification is not used, then replace the engine oil\
according to the maintenance schedule under severe
operating conditions.
*
2:Fuel tank air filter is considered to be maintenance free but periodic inspection is recommended as the level of maintenance will be dependent upon the quality fuel used in the vehicle.
*
3:The drive belt should be replaced when cracks occur or tension is reduced.
 Fuel filter (gasoline engine): The fuel filter is considered to be maintenance free but periodic inspection is recommended for this maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality.
- If there are some important safety matters like fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of power, hard starting problem etc., re place
the fuel filter immediately regardless of maintenance schedule and consu\
lt an authorized Kia dealer for details.

All season tires
Kia specifies all season tires on
some models to provide good per-
formance for use all year round,
including snowy and icy road condi-
tions. All season tires are identified
by ALL SEASON and/or M+S (Mud
and Snow) on the tire sidewall. Snow
tires have better snow traction than
all season tires and may be more
appropriate in some areas.
Summer tires
Kia specifies summer tires on some
models to provide superior perform-
ance on dry roads. Summer tire per-
formance is substantially reduced in
snow and ice. Summer tires do not
have the tire traction rating M+S
(Mud and Snow) on the tire side wall.
If you plan to operate your vehicle in
snowy or icy conditions, Kia recom-
mends the use of snow tires or all
season tires on all four wheels.
Snow tires
If you equip your car with snow tires,
they should be the same size and
have the same load capacity as the
original tires. Snow tires should be
installed on all four wheels; other-
wise, poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28
kPa) more air pressure than the
pressure recommended for the stan-
dard tires on the tire label on the dri-
ver's side of the center pillar, or up to
the maximum pressure shown on the
tire sidewall, whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120
km/h) when your vehicle is equipped
with snow tires.WARNING
Do not use summer tires at tem-
peratures below 45°F (7°C) or
when driving on snow or ice. At
temperatures below 45°F (7°C),
summer tires can lose elastici-
ty, and therefore traction and
braking power as well. Change
the tires on your vehicle to win-
ter or all-weather tires of the
same size as the standard tires
of the vehicle. Both types of
tires are identified by the M+S
(Mud and Snow) marking. Using
summer tires at very cold tem-
peratures could cause cracks to
form, thereby damaging the
tires permanently.

NOTICE
• We recommend replacing tires with the same make and model originally supplied with the vehicle; no\
t doing so
may affect driving performance.
• When driving in high altitude grades such as mountainous areas, injection of additional air into tires may be required due to lower atmospheric pressure. Therefore, add 1.5 psi for every 1,000m above sea level at the recom-
mended tire pressure when frequently driving in high mountainous areas.
