*IF EQUIPPED SOUL  FE ATURES & FUNCTIONS GUIDE
Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that may lead to an accident, severe personal 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, attention and focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or that are not permissible by law should never be used during operation of the vehicle.

The indicator  functions as both Low Tire 
Pressure Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator  
The TPMS indicator illuminates if one or more tires 
is significantly underinflated, the vehicle has a spare 
tire installed without TPMS or the outside temperature 
becomes significantly lower    
Inflate tire(s) to specifications using an accurate digital 
tire pressure gauge to turn off Low Tire Pressure Light 
  See front driver’s door jamb for PSI specification  
When there is a problem with the TPMS, the TPMS 
Malfunction Indicator  will blink for approximately 
one minute and then illuminate - See dealer for service  
REMINDER: Consult your dealer for service if the Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s) 
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
 • 
 •Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month  Only adjust Tire Pressure on “cold tires”  •For proper maintenance and optimal fuel economy, maintain recommended tire inflation pressures and stay within the load limits and weight distribution recommended for your vehicle •In winter or cold weather, the TPMS light may illuminate if the tire pressure was adjusted to the recommended tire inflation pressure during warm weather 
   QUICK TIPS
Fuel Economy
There are several factors that contribute to your 
vehicle’s fuel economy, including maintenance of your 
vehicle, driving style, environmental conditions, vehicle 
weight and vehicle aerodynamics   Below are tips on 
how to help improve fuel economy: 
• Keep your vehicle in good condition with regular 
maintenance
• Don’t let the engine idle longer than necessary
• Drive at a moderate speed, accelerating smoothly 
and at a moderate rate
• Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure 
• Travel lightly, without carrying unnecessary weight 
in your vehicles 
• Avoid placing large or heavy items on roof racks 
• Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained  roads
REMINDER: Driving range varies depending on a vehicle’s fuel tank size, e g , 12-gal  vs  24-gal   Even though the two vehicles, MPG may be the same, the vehicle with the larger tank will have the greater range

Voice Recognition and Phone Contact Tips
The Kia Voice Recognition System may 
have difficulty understanding some accents 
or uncommon names  When using Voice 
Recognition to place a call, speak in a 
moderate tone, with clear pronunciation   
Help your Bluetooth® Wireless Technology 
Voice Recognition performance by making a 
few simple changes to your phone contacts:
• Use full names vs  short or single syllable 
names (“John Smith” vs   “Dad”, “Smith 
Residence” vs  “Home”)
• Avoid using special characters or hyphens 
(@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc  )
• Avoid using acronyms (“In Case 
Emergency” vs  “ICE”)
• Spell words completely, no abbreviations 
(“Doctor Goodman” vs   “Dr  Goodman”)
