Driving your vehicle
To keep locks from freezing 
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an 
approved de-icer fluid or glycerine into
the key opening. If a lock is covered with
ice, squirt it with an approved de-icing
fluid to remove the ice. If the lock is
frozen internally, you may be able to thaw
it out by using a heated key. Handle the
heated key with care to avoid injury. 
Use approved window washer 
anti-freeze in system 
To keep the water in the window washer 
system from freezing, add an approved
window washer anti-freeze solution in
accordance with instructions on the con-
tainer. Window washer anti-freeze is
available from an authorized Kia dealer
and most auto parts outlets. Do not useengine coolant or other types of anti-
freeze as these may damage the paintfinish.Don't let your parking brake 
freeze 
Under some conditions your parking 
brake can freeze in the engaged position.
This is most likely to happen when there
is an accumulation of snow or ice around
or near the rear brakes or if the brakes
are wet. If there is a risk the parking
brake may freeze, apply it only temporar-
ily while you put the shift lever in P (auto-
matic transaxle) or in first or reverse gear
(manual transaxle) and block the rear
wheels so the vehicle cannot roll. Then
release the parking brake. 
Don't let ice and snow accumu- late underneath 
Under some conditions, snow and ice 
can build up under the fenders and inter-
fere with the steering. When driving in
severe winter conditions where this may
happen, you should periodically check
underneath the car to be sure the move-
ment of the front wheels and the steering
components is not obstructed.Carry emergency equipment 
Depending on the severity of the weath- 
er, you should carry appropriate emer-
gency equipment. Some of the items you
may want to carry include tire chains, tow
straps or chains, flashlight, emergency
flares, sand, shovel, jumper cables, win-
dow scraper, gloves, ground cloth, cover-
alls, blanket, etc.

WIPER BLADES 
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do not
attempt to move the wipers manual- ly.
CAUTION
The use of a non-specified wiperblade could result in wiper malfunc-tion and failure.Blade inspection
✽✽ NOTICE
Commercial hot waxes applied by auto- 
matic car washes have been known tomake the windshield difficult to clean.  
Contamination of either the windshield or 
the wiper blades with foreign matter can
reduce the effectiveness of the wind-
shield wipers. Common sources of con-
tamination are insects, tree sap, and hot
wax treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not wip-
ing properly, clean both the window and
the blades with a good cleaner or mild
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
clean water. Blade replacement   When the wipers no longer clean ade- 
quately, the blades may be worn or
cracked, and require replacement.
1JBA5122CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other solvents on or near them.

LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specifiedwattage.
✽✽ NOTICE
After heavy, driving rain or washing, headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is caused by
the temperature difference between the
lamp inside and outside.  This is similar
to the condensation on your windows
inside your vehicle during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with your
vehicle.  If the water leaks into the lamp
bulb circuitry, we recommend that thesystem be checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.

* The actual lamp in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.
WARNING  - Working  on
the lights
Prior to working on the light, firmly 
apply the parking brake, ensure
that the ignition switch is turned tothe LOCK position and turn off the
lights to avoid sudden movement
of the vehicle and burning your fin-
gers or receiving an electric shock.
CAUTION
Be sure to replace the burned-out bulb with one of the same wattagerating. Otherwise, it may cause
damage to the fuse or electricwiring system.
CAUTION
If you don’t have necessary tools,the correct bulbs and the expertise,
we recommend that you consult anauthorized Kia dealer. In many cases, it is difficult to replace vehi-cle light bulbs because other parts
of the vehicle must be removedbefore you can get to the bulb. This is especially true if you have to
remove the headlight assembly to
get to the bulb(s). Removing/installingthe headlight assembly
can result in damage to the vehicle.OYN079027

APPEARANCE CARE
Exterior care
Exterior general caution 
It is very important to follow the label 
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warning andcaution statements that appear on thelabel.
Finish maintenance
Washing  
To help protect your vehicle’s finish from 
rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughlyand frequently at least once a month with
lukewarm or cold water. 
If you use your vehicle for off-road driv- 
ing, you should wash it after each off-
road trip. Pay special attention to the
removal of any accumulation of salt, dirt,
mud, and other foreign materials. Make
sure the drain holes in the lower edges of
the doors and rocker panels are keptclear and clean. 
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings, 
industrial pollution and similar deposits
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately. 
Even prompt washing with plain water 
may not completely remove all these
deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on
painted surfaces, may be used. After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-
oughly with lukewarm or cold water. Do
not allow soap to dry on the finish.
WARNING - 
Wet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test the 
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking performance is impaired,
dry the brakes by applying them
lightly while maintaining a slow for-
ward speed.
CAUTION
 Water washing in the engine com- partment including high pressurewater washing may cause the fail-ure of electrical circuits located in
the engine compartment.
 Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electri-cal/electronic components inside the vehicle as this may damage
them.
OJB037800
CAUTION
 Do not use strong soap, chemical detergents or hot water, and donot wash the vehicle in direct
sunlight or when the body of thevehicle is warm.
 Be careful when washing the side windows of your vehicle.
Especially, with high-pressurewater, water may leak through the windows and wet the interior.
 To prevent damage to the plastic parts and lamps, do not clean
with chemical solvents or strongdetergents.

Maintenance
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank are absorbed and stored in the
onboard canister. When the engine is
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the
canister are drawn into the surge tank
through the purge control solenoid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is con- 
trolled by the Engine Control Module
(ECM); when the engine coolant temper-
ature is low during idling, the PCSV clos-
es so that evaporated fuel is not taken
into the engine. After the engine warms
up during ordinary driving, the PCSV
opens to introduce evaporated fuel to the
engine.3. Exhaust emission control 
system
The Exhaust Emission Control System is 
a highly effective system which controls
exhaust emissions while maintaining
good vehicle performance.
Vehicle modifications  
 This vehicle should not be modified. Modification of your vehicle could 
affect its performance, safety or dura-
bility and may even violate governmen-
tal safety and emissions regulations. 
In addition, damage or performance 
problems resulting from any modification
may not be covered under warranty.
 If you use unauthorized electric devices, it may cause the vehicle to
operate abnormally, wire damage, bat-
tery discharge and fire. For your safety,
do not use unauthorized electric
devices.
Engine exhaust gas precautions (car-
bon monoxide) 
 Carbon monoxide can be present with other exhaust fumes. Therefore, if you 
smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside
your vehicle, have it inspected and
repaired immediately. If you ever sus-
pect exhaust fumes are coming into
your vehicle, drive it only with all the
windows fully open. Have your vehicle
checked and repaired immediately.
WARNING - Exhaust
Engine exhaust gases contain car- 
bon monoxide (CO). Though color-
less and odorless, it is dangerousand could be lethal if inhaled.
Follow the instructions on this
page to avoid CO poisoning.
