Introduction
Gasoline containing alcohol and
methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alcohol),
and gasoline or gasohol containing
methanol (also known as wood alcohol)
are being marketed along with or instead
of leaded or unleaded gasoline.
Do not use gasohol containing more than
10% ethanol, and do not use gasoline or
gasohol containing any methanol. Either
of these fuels may cause drivability prob-
lems and damage to the fuel system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if
drivability problems occur.Vehicle damage or driveability problems
may not be covered by the manufactur-
er’s warranty if they result from the use
of:
1. Gasohol containing more than 10%
ethanol.
2. Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.
3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol. No special break-in period is needed. By
following a few simple precautions for the
first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
Do not maintain a single speed for long
periods of time, either fast or slow.
Varying engine speed is needed to
properly break-in the engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emergen- cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop-
erly.
Avoid full-throttle starts.
CAUTION
Never use gasohol which contains methanol. Discontinue use of any gasohol product which impairs dri-vability.
VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS

Features of your vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with an elec-
tronic engine immobilizer system to
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle
use.
Your immobilizer system is comprised of
a small transponder in the ignition key,
and antenna coil in the key cylinder and
Immobilizer Control Unit (or Smartra
Unit).
With this system, whenever you insert
your ignition key into the ignition switch
and turn it to ON, the antenna coil in the
ignition switch receives a signal from the
transponder in the ignition key and then
sends the signal to the ECU (Engine
Control Unit).
The ECU checks the signal whether the
ignition key is valid.
If the key is determined to be valid, the
engine will start.
If the key is determined to be invalid, the
engine will not start.
To deactivate the immobilizer
system:
Insert the ignition key into the key cylin-
der and turn it to the ON position.
To activate the immobilizer sys-
tem:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
The immobilizer system activates auto-
matically. Without a valid ignition key for
your vehicle, the engine will not start.
✽ ✽NOTICE
When starting the engine, do not use the
key with other immobilizer keys around.
Otherwise the engine may not start or
may stop soon after it starts. Keep each
key separately not to have any malfunc-
tion after you receive your new vehicle.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If you need additional keys or lose your
keys, consult your authorized Kia dealer.
Limp home (override) procedure
When you turn the ignition key to the ON
position, if the IMMO indicator goes off
after blinking 5 times, your transponder
equipped in the ignition key is out of order.
You cannot start the engine without the
lime home procedure. To start the engine,
you have to input your password by using
the ignition switch.
The following procedure is how to input
your password of “2345” as an example.
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
The IMMO indicator ( ) will blink 5
times and go off indicating the begin-
ning of the limp home procedure.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ACC posi- tion.
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
Do not put metal accessories nearthe key or ignition switch.
The engine may not start for themetal accessories may interrupt thetransponder signal from normally transmitting.
WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
Immobilizer password is a cus-
tomer unique password and should
be kept confidential. Do not leave
this number anywhere in your vehi-
cle.

WARNING
If your vehicle is facing downward
on a steep grade (15 percent or
more), the door may not stay open
and could slam shut, possibly injur-
ing someone. To make sure the
door does not slam shut, turn on
the power sliding door feature.
Then if the door closes, it will close
under the control of the power door
system.
WARNING
If children accidentally open the
power sliding doors while the vehi-
cle is in motion, they could fall out
and be severely injured or killed. To
prevent children from opening the
power sliding doors from the
inside, the child safety locks should
be used whenever children are in
the vehicle.
WARNING
When the rear passenger operates
the power sliding door, make sure
there are no people or objects
around the door, and have all occu-
pants get in or out of the vehicle
after the door is open fully and
stopped.
WARNING
Let the rear passengers get in or
out of the vehicle after the door is
open fully. Sudden closing could
cause a serious injury.
Close the door by pulling the door handle after the door is open
fully. Do not pull the door handle
while rear passengers are getting
in or out. The door could sudden-
ly close by itself and cause a seri-
ous injury.
It takes about 5 seconds for the power sliding door to close and
latch completely.
Sudden starting or accelerating
the vehicle before the door closes
and latches completely could
cause it to open the door and
result in a serious injury or dam-
age to cargo. Do not start the
vehicle before the door closes
and latches completely.

Power steering
Power steering uses energy from the
engine to assist you in steering the vehi-
cle. If the engine is off or if the power
steering system becomes inoperative,
the vehicle may still be steered, but it will
require increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power steer-
ing checked by an Authorized Kia Dealer.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If the vehicle is parked for extended
periods outside in cold weather (below -
10 °C/14 °F), the power steering may
require increased effort when the engine
is first started. This is caused by
increased fluid viscosity due to the cold
weather and does not indicate a mal-
function.
When this happens, increase the engine
RPM by depressing accelerator until the
RPM reaches 1,500 rpm then release or
let the engine idle for two or three min-
utes to warm up the fluid.
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel
against a stop (extreme right orleft turn) for more than 5 secondswith the engine running. Holding the steering wheel for more than5 seconds in either position may cause damage to the power steer-ing pump.
If the power steering drive belt breaks or if the power steeringpump malfunctions, the steering effort will greatly increase.

(Continued)
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or take
drugs and drive.
If you are drinking or taking drugs,
don’t drive. Do not ride with a driv-
er who has been drinking or taking
drugs. Choose a designated driver
or call a cab.
WARNING- Driving under
the influence of alcohol or
drugs
Drinking and driving is dangerous.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death
toll each year. Even a small amount
of alcohol will affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgement. Driving
while under the influence of drugs
is as dangerous or more dangerous
than driving drunk.
(Continued)
WARNING
Driving while distracted can result
in a loss of vehicle control, that may
lead to an accident, severe person-
al injury, and death. The driver’s
primary responsibility is in the safe
and legal operation of a vehicle, and
use of any handheld devices, other
equipment, or vehicle systems
which take the driver’s eyes, atten-
tion and focus away from the safe
operation of a vehicle or which are
not permissible by law should
never be used during operation of
the vehicle.
WARNING
When you make a sudden stop orturn the steering wheel rapidly,
loose objects may drop on the
floor and it could interfere with
the operation of the foot pedals,
possibly causing an accident.
Keep all things in the vehicle
safely stored.
If you do not focus on driving, it may cause an accident. Be care-
ful when operating what may dis-
turb driving such as audio or
heater. It is the responsibility of
the driver to always drive safely.
