4If your vehicle is equipped with a sunroof,
you can slide or tilt your sunroof with the
sunroof control lever located on the over-
head console (1).
The sunroof can only be opened, closed,
or tilted when the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
✽ ✽
NOTICE• In cold and wet climates, the sunroof
may not work properly due to freez-
ing conditions.
• After a vehicle is washed or in a rain- storm be sure to wipe off any water
that is on the sunroof before operating
it.
✽ ✽ NOTICEThe sunroof cannot tilt when it is in the
slide position but can be slid while in a
tilt position.
PANORAMIC SUNROOF (IF EQUIPPED)
OXM049027
CAUTION
Do not continue to pull or push the
sunroof control lever after the sun-roof is fully opened, closed, or tilted.Damage to the motor or systemcomponents could occur.
WARNING
 Never adjust the sunroof or roller blind while driving. This could
result in loss of control and an
accident that may cause death,
serious injury, or property dam-
age.
 If you would like to carry items on the roof rack using a cross bar,
do not operate the sunroof.
 When carrying cargo on the roof rack, do not load heavy items
above the sunroof or glass roof.
 All occupants of the vehicle must wear their seat belts at all times.
Seat belts and child restraints
reduce serious or fatal injuries
for all occupants in the event of a
collision or sudden stop.

Features of your vehicle
D290100AAMRoof rack (if equipped)If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load cargo on top of your vehicle.✽ ✽NOTICEIf the vehicle is equipped with a sunroof,
be sure not to position cargo onto the
roof rack in such a way that it could
interfere with sunroof operation.EXTERIOR FEATURES
CAUTION
 When carrying cargo on the roof
rack, take the necessary precau-tions to make sure the cargo does not damage the roof of the vehicle.
 When carrying large objects on the roof rack, make sure they donot exceed the overall roof length or width.
 When you are carrying cargo on the roof rack, do not operate thesunroof (if equipped).
WARNING
 The following specification is the maximum weight that can be
loaded onto the roof rack.
Distribute the load as evenly as
possible on the roof rack and
secure the load firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage in
excess of the specified weight
limit on the roof rack may dam-
age your vehicle.
(Continued)ROOF100 kg (220 lbs.)
RACK EVENLY DISTRIBUTED
(Continued)
 The vehicle center of gravity will be higher when items are loaded
onto the roof rack. Avoid sudden
starts, braking, sharp turns,
abrupt maneuvers or high speeds
that may result in loss of vehicle
control or rollover resulting in an
accident.
 Always drive slowly and turn cor- ners carefully when carrying
items on the roof rack. Severe
wind updrafts, caused by passing
vehicles or natural causes, can
cause sudden upward pressure
on items loaded on the roof rack.
This is especially true when car-
rying large, flat items such as
wood panels or mattresses. This
could cause the items to fall off
the roof rack and cause damage
to your vehicle or others around
you.
 To prevent damage or loss of cargo while driving, check fre-
quently before or while driving to
make sure the items on the roof
rack are securely fastened.

receive AM or/and FM broadcast signals.
This antenna is removable. To remove
the roof antenna, turn it counterclock-
wise. To install the roof antenna, turn it
clockwise.

CAUTION
• Before entering a place with a low
height clearance or a car wash,remove the antenna by rotating it counter-clockwise. If not, theantenna may be damaged.
 When reinstalling your roof antenna, it is important that it isfully tightened and adjusted tothe upright position to ensure proper reception. But it could beremoved when parking the vehi- cle or when loading cargo on theroof rack.
 When cargo is loaded on the roof rack, do not place the cargo nearthe antenna pole to ensure proper reception.

Features of your vehicle
Satellite radio channels:SIRIUS Satellite Radio has over 130 chan-
nels, including 69 channels of 100% com-
mercial-free music, plus sports, news, talk
and entertainment available nationwide in
your vehicle. For more information and a
complete list of SIRIUS Satellite Radio
channels, visit sirius.com in the United
States, sirius-canada.ca in Canada, or call
SIRIUS at 1-888-539-7474.
Satellite radio reception factors:
To receive the satellite signal, your vehi-
cle has been equipped with a satellite
radio antenna located on the roof of your
vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the
best location for an unobstructed, open
view of the sky, a requirement of a satel-
lite radio system. Like AM/FM, there are
several factors that can affect satellite
radio reception performance:
 Antenna obstructions: For optimalreception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-up
and keep luggage and other material
as far away from the antenna as possi-
ble.
 Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses,
parking garages, dense tree foliage
and thunderstorms can interfere with
your reception.
SIRIUS Satellite Radio service:SIRIUS Satellite Radio is a subscription-
based satellite radio service that broad-
casts music, sports, news and entertain-
ment programming to radio receivers,
which are available for installation in
motor vehicles or factory installed, as
well as for the home, portable and wire-
less devices, and through an Internet
connection on personal computer.
Vehicles that are equipped with a factory
installed SIRIUS Satellite Radio system
include:
 Hardware and an introductory trial sub-scription term, which begins on the
date of sale or lease of the vehicle.
 For a small upgrade fee, access to SIRIUS music channels, and other
select channels over the Internet using
any computer connected to the
Internet (U.S. customers only).
For information on extended subscrip-
tion terms, contact SIRIUS at 1-888-
539-7474.
NOTE:Satellite Radio requires SIRIUS
®
com-
patible receiver and a subscription serv-
ice fee after trial period.
Vehicles without a factory-installed
radio receiver require hardware pur-
chase and installation. Please see your
dealer for further details. All fees and
programming subject to change.
Subscriptions governed by the SIRIUS
Terms & Conditions available at
www
.sirius.com
/ serviceterms.
Available only in the 48 contiguous
United States and the District of
Columbia. Service available in Canada;

KIA shall not be responsible for any
such programming changes.Satellite Radio Electronic Serial
Number (ESN):
This 12-digit Satellite
Serial Number is needed to re-activate,
modify or track your satellite radio
account. You will need this number when
communicating with SIRIUS.

Driving your vehicle
E110100AHM-ECHazardous driving conditions When hazardous driving conditions are
encountered such as water, snow, ice,
mud, sand, or similar hazards, follow
these suggestions:
 Drive cautiously and allow extra dis-tance for braking.
 Avoid sudden braking or steering.
 When braking with non-ABS brakes pump the brake pedal with a light up-
and-down motion until the vehicle is
stopped.  If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use
second gear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
 Use sand, rock salt, or other non-slip material under the drive wheels to pro-
vide traction when stalled in ice, snow,
or mud.
E170800AHMReducing the risk of a rolloverThis multi-purpose passenger vehicle is
defined as a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).
SUV’s have higher ground clearance and
a narrower track to make them capable
of performing in a wide variety of off-road
applications. Specific design characteris-
tics give them a higher center of gravity
than ordinary vehicles. An advantage of
the higher ground clearance is a better
view of the road, which allows you to
anticipate problems. They are not
designed for cornering at the same
speeds as conventional passenger vehi-
cles, any more than low-slung sports
vehicles are designed to perform satis-
factorily in off-road conditions. Due to this
risk, driver and passengers are strongly
recommended to buckle their seat belts.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is
more likely to die than a person wearing
a seat belt. There are steps that a driver
can make to reduce the risk of a rollover.
If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or
abrupt maneuvers, do not load your roof
rack with heavy cargo, and never modify
your vehicle in any way.
SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
WARNING -
ABS
Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS.
WARNING
- Downshifting
Downshifting with an automatic
transaxle, while driving on slippery
surfaces can cause an accident.
The sudden change in tire speed
could cause the tires to skid. Be
careful when downshifting on slip-
pery surfaces.
