ed by Lane Keeping Assist, the
driver may control the steering
wheel.

wheel is assisted by Lane Keeping
Assist than when it is not.

wheel is held very tight or the
steering wheel is steered over
a certain degree.

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.

driver has their hands on the
steering wheel.

not be able to detect a vehicle
driving in the next lane and
may not warn you.

ing by the turn signal will not
operate.
 For your safety, change the Settings after parking the
vehicle at a safe location.
 If any other function's warn- ing message is displayed or

 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.
