Driving your vehicle
The BSD (Blind spot detection) sys-
tem uses a radar sensor to alert the
driver while driving.
It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides information to
the driver.➀
BSD(Blind spot detection)
Warning range is dependent on your
vehicle speed. However, if your vehi-
cle speed is speedy about 10km/h
than other vehicle, the warning is not
operated.
➁ LCA(Lane change assist)
When the vehicle is approaching to
your vehicle at high speed, the warn-
ing is operated.BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM (BSD) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
• Always check the road condi- tions while driving for unex-
pected situations even
though the BSD (Blind spot
detection) system is operat-
ing.
 Never use the BSD system as a replacement for careful driv-
ing practices. Drivers should
always use their mirrors and
look over their shoulders to
detect other vehicles when
changing lanes. The BSD sys-
tem is only intended to sup-
plement safe practices.

What to do in an emergency
TOWINGTowing serviceIf emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorized Kia dealer or a commer-
cial tow-truck service. Proper lifting
and towing procedures are neces-
sary to prevent damage to the vehi-
cle. The use of wheel dollies or
flatbed is recommended.
For trailer towing guidelines informa-tion, refer to “Trailer towing” in sec-tion 5.On 4WD vehicles, your vehicle must
be towed with a wheel lift and dollies
or flatbed equipment with all the
wheels off the ground.
On 2WD vehicles, it is acceptable to
tow the vehicle with the rear wheels
on the ground (without dollies) and
the front wheels off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or sus-
pension components are damaged
or the vehicle is being towed with the
front wheels on the ground, use a
towing dolly under the front wheels.
When being towed by a commercial
tow truck and wheel dollies are not
used, the front of the vehicle should
always be lifted, not the rear.
OXM069028 dollydolly
CAUTION
The 4WD vehicle should never
be towed with the wheels on theground. This can cause seriousdamage to the transaxle or the4WD system.
WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with
side and curtain air bag, set the
ignition switch to LOCK or ACC
position when the vehicle is
being towed.
The side and curtain air bag
may deploy when the ignitions
is ON, and the rollover sensor
detects the situation as a
rollover.

ly dusty or sandy areas, replace theelement more often than the usualrecommended intervals. (Refer to“Maintenance under severe usageconditions” in this section.)
CAUTION
 Do not drive with the air clean- er removed; this will result inexcessive engine wear.
 When removing the air cleaner filter, be careful that dust ordirt does not enter the airintake, or damage may result.
