Face position
Air flow is directed towardthe upper body and face.
Additionally, each outlet
can be controlled to direct
the air discharged from
the outlet.
(outlet port: , )
Face - floor position Air flow is directedtowards the face and the
floor. The air to the floor is
warmer than the air to the
face (except when the
temperature control is set
to the extreme cold posi-
tion).
(outlet port: , , , )
OFF position The climate control sys-
tem is turned off. Floor position
Most of the air flow is
directed to the floor, with a
small amount of the air
being directed to the wind-
shield and side window
defroster. (outlet port: ,, , , )
Floor - defrost position
Most of the air flow is
directed to the floor and
the windshield with a
small amount directed to
the side window
defrosters. (outlet port: ,, , , )
Defrost position
Most of the air flow is
directed to the windshield
with a small amount of air
directed to the side win-
dow defrosters.
(outlet port: , , )
Instrument panel ventsIf air flow control is not satisfactory,
check the instrument panel vents.
The outlet port ( , ) can be opened
or closed separately using the verti-
cal thumbwheel. To close the vent,
rotate it upward to the maximum
position. To open the vent, rotate it
downward.
Also, you can adjust the direction of
air delivery from these vents using
vertical or horizontal thumbwheels
as shown.

✽ ✽
NOTICEIt should be noted that prolonged
operation of the heating in recircu-
lated air position will cause fogging
of the windshield and side windows
and the air within the passenger
compartment will become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the “recirculated
air position” selected, will result in
excessively dry air in the passenger
compartment.
Air conditioning button
(if equipped) Push the A/C button to turn the air
conditioning system on (indicator
light will illuminate). Push the button
again to turn the air conditioning sys-
tem off.
WARNING
Continued climate control
system operation in the recir-
culated air position may allow
humidity to increase inside
vehicle which may fog the
glass and obscure visibility.
 Do not sleep in a vehicle with
air conditioning or heating
system on. It may cause seri-
ous harm or death due to a
drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.
 Continued climate control
system operation in the
reciruclated air position can
cause drowsiness or sleepi-
ness, and loss of vehicle con-
trol. Set the air intake control
to the outside (fresh) air posi-
tion as much as possible
while driving.

For best battery service : Keep the battery securely mount-
ed.
 Keep the battery top clean and dry.
 Keep the terminals and connec- tions clean, tight, and coated with
petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
 Rinse any spilled electrolyte from the battery immediately with a
solution of water and baking soda.
 If the vehicle is not going to be used for an extended time, discon-
nect the battery cables.
Battery recharging Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
 If the battery becomes dischargedin a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior lights
were left on while the vehicle was
not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
 If the battery gradually discharges because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours. Items to be reset after the battery
has been discharged or the bat-
tery has been disconnected.

Uniform tire quality grading The following information relates to
the tire grading system developed by
the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (CMVSS) for grading tires
by tread wear, traction and tempera-
ture performance.Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a compara-
tive rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified govern-
ment test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one-and-a-
half times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions
of their use. However, performance
may differ from the norm because of
variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
These grades are molded on the
side-walls of passenger vehicle tires.
The tires available as standard or
optional equipment on Kia vehicles
may vary with respect to grade.Traction - A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are A, B and C. The grades
represent the tires ability to stop on
wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may
have poor traction performance.
Temperature -A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B and C. The grades repre-
sent the tire’s resistance to the gener-
ation of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified indoor labo-
ratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tires to
degenerate and reduce tires life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tires failure. Grades A and B
represent higher levels of perform-
ance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by the
law.
