Auto up/down window (Driver's window, if equipped) Pressing or pulling up the power window
switch momentarily to the second detent
position (6) completely lowers or raises
the window even when the switch is
released. To stop the window at the
desired position while the window is in
operation, pull up or press down and
release the switch.
If the power window does not operate
normally, the automatic power window
system must be reset as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON posi- tion.
2. Close the driver’s window and contin- ue pulling up the driver’s power win-
dow switch for at least 1 second after
the window is completely closed. Automatic reversal
If the upward movement of the window is
blocked by an object or part of the body,
the window will detect the resistance and
will stop upward movement. The window
will then lower approximately 30 cm (11.8
in.) to allow the object to be cleared.
The distance may vary based on the size
or position of the window. If the window
detects the resistance while the power
window switch is pulled up continuously,
the window will stop upward movement
then lower approximately 2.5 cm (1 in.).
And if the power window switch is pulled
up continuously again within 5 seconds
after the window is lowered by the auto-
matic window reversal feature, the auto-
matic window reversal will not operate.
✽ ✽
NOTICEThe automatic reverse feature for the
driver’s window is only active when the
“auto up” feature is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse feature will not operate if the
window is raised using the halfway posi-
tion on the power window switch.

WARNING
Always check for obstructions
before raising any window to avoid
injuries or vehicle damage. If an
object less than 4 mm (0.16 in.) in
diameter is caught between the
window glass and the upper win-
dow channel, the automatic reverse
window may not detect the resist-
ance and will not stop and reverse
direction.

WARNING
 Before closing the hood, ensure
that all obstructions are removed
from the hood opening. Closing
the hood with an obstruction
present in the hood opening may
result in property damage or
severe personal injury.
 Do not leave gloves, rags or any other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so
may cause a heat-induced fire.
WARNING
 Always double check to be surethat the hood is firmly latched
before driving away. If it is not
latched, the hood could open
while the vehicle is being driven,
causing total loss of visibility,
which might result in an accident.
 Do not move the vehicle with the hood raised. The view will be
blocked and the hood could fall
or get damaged.

4D130100AHM-EU-U1Power steeringPower 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.
✽ ✽
NOTICEIf the power steering drive belt breaks
or if the power steering pump malfunc-
tions, steering effort will greatly
increase.✽ ✽NOTICEIf 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 the accelerator until
the RPM reaches 1,500 rpm then release
or let the engine idle for two or three
minutes to warm up the fluid.
D130300AUNTilt steering Tilt steering allows you to adjust the
steering wheel before you drive. You can
also raise it to give your legs more room
when you exit and enter the vehicle.
The steering wheel should be positioned
so that it is comfortable for you to drive,
while permitting you to see the instru-
ment panel warning lights and gauges.
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel to the
extreme right or left for more than 5 seconds with the engine running.Holding the steering wheel for morethan 5 seconds in either position may cause damage to the powersteering pump.
WARNING
 Never adjust the angle of the steering wheel while driving. You
may lose steering control and
cause severe personal injury,
death or accidents.
 After adjusting, push the steering wheel both up and down to be
certain it is locked in position.

D140100AHMInside rearview mirrorAdjust the rearview mirror so that the
center view through the rear window is
seen. Make this adjustment before you
start driving.
D140101AHMDay/night rearview mirror (if equipped)Make this adjustment before you start
driving and while the day/night lever is in
the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce the glare from the headlights of
the vehicles behind you during night driv-
ing.Remember that you lose some rearviewclarity in the night position.
D140102AHM-EE-C1Electrochromic Mirror (ECM)(if equipped)The electric rearview mirror automatically
controls the glare from the headlights of
the vehicles behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensor mount-
ed in the mirror senses the light level
around the vehicle, and automatically con-
trols the headlight glare from the vehicles
behind you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatically go
to the brightest setting in order to improve
the drivers view behind the vehicle.

D150204BHM-EEFuel gaugeThe fuel gauge indicates the approxi-
mate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel
tank.
The fuel tank capacity is given in sec-
tion 8.The fuel gauge is supplemented by
a low fuel warning light, which will illumi-
nate when the fuel tank is nearly empty.
On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge
pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier than
usual due to the movement of fuel in the
tank.
D150205AAM-EUOdometer/Tripmeter/TRIP computer (if equipped)The trip computer is a microcomputer-
controlled driver information system that
displays information related to driving,
such as odometer, tripmeter, distance to
empty, average speed, driving time, aver-
age fuel consumption, and the ECOMIN-
DER
TM Indicator (ECO ON/OFF) mode on
the display when the ignition switch is in
the ON position. All stored driving infor-
mation (except odometer and distance to
empty) is reset if the battery is discon-
nected.

WARNING
- Fuel gauge
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addition-
al fuel as soon as possible after the
