Safety features of your vehicle
Noise and smoke
When the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and they leave smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the igni-
tion of the air bag inflator. After the air
bag inflates, you may feel substantial dis-
comfort in breathing due to the contact of
your chest with both the seat belt and the
air bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder.Open your doors
and/or windows as soon as possible
after impact in order to reduce dis-
comfort and prevent prolonged expo-
sure to the smoke and powder.
Though smoke and powder are non-
toxic, it may cause irritation to the skin
(eyes, nose and throat, etc.). If this is the
case, wash and rinse with cold waterimmediately and consult the doctor if the
symptom persists.
Installing a child restraint on a front
passenger’s seat is forbidden whenthe air bag is active
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in the front passenger’s seat. If the air
bag deploys, it would impact the rear-fac-
ing child restraint, causing serious or
fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing child
restraints in the front passenger’s seat
either. If the front passenger air bag
inflates, it would cause serious or fatal
injuries to the child.
If your vehicle is equipped with the pas-
senger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch,
you can activate or deactivate the front
passenger’s air bag when necessary.

page.

WARNING
When the air bags deploy, the air
bag related parts in the steeringwheel and/or instrument panel
and/or in both sides of the roof rails
above the front and rear doors are
very hot. To prevent injury, do not
touch the air bag storage areas
internal components immediately
after an air bag has inflated.

Safety features of your vehicle
Curtain air bag (if equipped)
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the heads of the front seat occupants andthe rear outboard seat occupants in cer-
tain side impact collisions.The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash sever-
ity, angle, speed and impact. The curtain
air bags are not designed to deploy in all
side impact situations, collisions from the
front or rear of the vehicle or in most
rollover situations.
WARNING
In order for side impact and cur- tain air bags to provide the best
protection, both front seat occu-
pants and both outboard rearoccupants should sit in anupright position with the seat
belts properly fastened.
Importantly, children should sit in
a proper child restraint system inthe rear seat.
(Continued)
(Continued)
When children are seated in therear outboard seats, they must be
seated in the proper child
restraint system. Make sure to
put the child restraint system as
far away from the door side as
possible, and secure the child
restraint system in a locked posi-tion.
Do not allow the passengers to lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window, or place objects
between the doors and passen-
gers when they are seated onseats equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.
Never try to open or repair any components of the side curtain
air bag system. This should only
be done by an authorized KIA
dealer.
Failure to follow the above men-tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle occu-pants in an accident.

Power windows
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to operate.
Each door has a power window switch
that controls the door's window. The driv-
er has a power window lock switch which
can block the operation of passenger
windows. The power windows can be
operated for approximately 30 seconds
after the ignition key is removed or turned
to the ACC or LOCK position. However, if
the front doors are opened, the power
windows cannot be operated within the
30 seconds period after the ignition key
removal.
The driver’s door has a master power
window switch that controls all the win-
dows in the vehicle.✽✽
NOTICE
While driving with the rear windows
down or with the sunroof (if equipped) in
an open (or partially open position), your
vehicle may demonstrate a wind buffet-
ing or pulsation noise. This noise is a
normal occurrence and can be reduced
or eliminated by taking the following
actions. If the noise occurs with one or
both of the rear windows down, partially
lower both front windows approximately
one inch. If you experience the noise with
the sunroof open, slightly reduce the size
of the sunroof opening
Window opening and closing

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 restraintsreduce serious or fatal injuries
for all occupants in the event of a
collision or sudden stop.

Antenna
Roof antenna
Your vehicle uses a roof antenna to
receive both AM and FM signals. This
antenna can be removed. To remove the
antenna, turn it counter clockwise, To
install the antenna, turn it clockwise.How car audio works
AM (MW) and FM radio signals are
broadcast from transmitter towers locat-
ed around your city. They are intercepted
by the radio antenna on your car. This
signal is then received by the radio and
sent to your speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best pos-
sible audio reproduction. However in
some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong an clear. This
can be due to factors such as the dis-
tance from the radio station, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the pres-
ence of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area.
AUDIO SYSTEM
OYN049126
CAUTION
• Before entering a place with a low
height clearance, be sure that the
antenna is removed.
Be sure to remove the antenna before washing the car in an auto-matic car wash or it may be dam-
aged.
When reinstalling your antenna, it is important that it is fully tight-ened to ensure proper reception.
When cargo is loaded on the roof rack, do not place the cargo near
the antenna pole to ensure properreception.

Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions are
encountered such as water, snow, ice,
mud, sand, or similar hazards, followthese 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 isstopped. If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use
second gear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
Use sand, rock salt, tire chains, or other non-slip material under the drive
wheels to provide traction when stalled
in ice, snow, or mud. Reducing the risk of a rollover
This multi-purpose passenger vehicle is
defined as a Multi Purpose Vehicle
(MPV). MPV’s have higher ground clear-
ance and a narrower track to make them
capable of performing in a wide variety of
road applications. Specific design char-
acteristics give them a higher center of
gravity than ordinary vehicles. An advan-
tage 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. Due to this risk, driver and passen-
gers are strongly recommended to buck-
le 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 slipperysurfaces can cause an accident.
The sudden change in tire speed
could cause the tires to skid. Be
careful when downshifting on slip-
pery surfaces.
