Installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, we recommend that
the child restraint system be used in the
rear seats.
Since all passenger safety belts move
freely under normal conditions and only
lock under extreme or emergency condi-
tions (emergency lock mode), you must
manually change these safety belts to
the auto lock mode to secure a child
restraint.WARNING-Child seat
installation
• Before installing the child
restraint system, read the instruc-
tions supplied by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
• If the safety belt does not operate
as described in this section, have
the system checked immediately
by your authorized Kia dealer.
• Failure to observe this manual's
instructions regarding child
restraint system and the instruc-
tions provided with the child
restraint system could increase
the chance and/or severity of
injury in an accident.
WARNING
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger
seat, because of the danger that an
inflating passenger side air bag
could impact the rear-facing child
restraint and kill the child.
(Continued)
• Never allow a child to stand up or
kneel while the vehicle is moving.
• Never use an infant carrier or
child seat that "hooks" over a
seatback. It will not provide ade-
quate protection in an accident.
• Never allow a child to be held
while they are in a moving vehi-
cle, as this could result in serious
injury to the child in the event of
an accident or a sudden stop.
Holding a child in a moving vehi-
cle does not provide the child
with any protection during an
accident, even if the person hold-
ing the child is wearing a seat
belt.

Calibration procedure
The compass may not indicate the cor-
rect compass direction when you are dri-
ving in certain areas (tunnel, parking
garage, underground parking lot, near
transformer substation, etc.), and the fol-
lowing may occur:
• The compass headings become inac-
curate.
• The compass heading doesn't change
when the vehicle changes direction.
• Some compass headings are not dis-
played.
• The compass headings are inaccurate
in long distance driving.
If the vehicle's compass headings
become inaccurate continuously, the
compass should be manually calibrated
as follows:1. Move the vehicle away from any large
steel structures or power generating
cables or equipment.
2. Check the terrestrial deviation angle
value by pressing and holding the
MODE button for 4.5 seconds until the
current terrestrial deviation angle
value appears in the display.
3. If the terrestrial deviation angle value
is different for your country, set the cor-
rect angle referring to “Setting the
compass zone” and perform the
“Calibration procedure” again.
4. Make sure the vehicle windshield
wipers are turned off.5. Press and hold the MODE button
again for 2~4.5 seconds until the “turn”
appears and “DIR” blinks in the display
and release the button.
6. Drive your vehicle in at least 1 com-
plete (either clockwise or counter-
clockwise) circle at less than 5 km/h (3
mph) within 10 minutes until the com-
pass heading appears.
7. If the vehicle’s compass headings
become inaccurate again, repeat
steps 1 through 6 above.
✽
NOTICE
If you press the MODE button before
the calibration is completed or the vehi-
cle is not rotated within 10 minutes after
“turn” appears and “DIR” blinks, the
correction will be cancelled.

Setting the compass zone
This compass must be set to compen-
sate for the variation between true north
and magnetic north. To set variation:
1. Find your current location and terres-
trial deviation angle value on the zone
map.
2. Press and hold the MODE button for
4.5 seconds. The current terrestrial
deviation angle value will appear in the
display.3. Release the MODE button and press
the RESET button repeatedly until the
correct terrestrial deviation angle value
for your location appears in the display.
4. Press and hold the MODE button for
more than 1 second, and then the dis-
play will show a compass direction.
✽
NOTICE
If you press the MODE button for less
than 1 second before new compass zone
is set, the correction is cancelled.
Also, if the correction is not completed
within 30 seconds, the current terrestri-
al deviation angle value will blink for 2
seconds and the correction is cancelled.
✽
NOTICE
1. Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc.
that is attached to the vehicle using a
magnet as anything attached to the
roof of the vehicle with a magnet will
effect compass operation.
2. If the compass deviates from the cor-
rect indication after repeated adjust-
ment, have the compass checked at an
authorized dealer.
3. The compass may not indicate the
correct compass point in tunnels or
while driving up or down a steep hill.
(The compass returns to the correct
compass point when the vehicle moves
to an area where the geomagnetism is
stabilized.)

Air conditioning system operation tips
• If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows for a short time to let the hot
air inside the vehicle escape.
• To help reduce moisture inside of win-
dows on rainy humid days, decrease
the humidity inside the vehicle by oper-
ating the air conditioning system.
• During air conditioning system opera-
tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles on.
This is a normal system operation
characteristics.
• Use the air conditioning system every
month if only for a few minutes to
ensure maximum system perfor-
mance.
• When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, you may notice clear water drip-
ping (or even puddling) on the ground
under the passenger side of the vehi-
cle. This is a normal system operation
characteristics.
• Operating the air conditioning system
in the recirculated air position does
provide maximum cooling, however,
continual operation in this mode may
cause the air inside the vehicle to
become stale.Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and compres-
sor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has a bad influ-
ence on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
• When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the temperature
gauge closely while driving up
hills or in heavy traffic when out-
side temperatures are high. Air
conditioning system operation
may cause engine overheating.
Continue to use the blower fan
but turn the air conditioning sys-
tem off if the temperature gauge
indicates engine overheating.
• When opening the windows in
humid weather air conditioning
may create water droplets inside
the vehicle. Since excessive
water droplets may cause dam-
age to electrical equipment, air
conditioning should only be run
with the windows closed.
CAUTION
The air conditioning system should
be serviced by an authorized Kia
dealer. Improper service may cause
serious injury.
CAUTION
When the performance of the air
conditioning system is reduced it is
important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant is
used. Otherwise, damage to the
compressor and abnormal system
operation may occur.
