displays information related to driving,
such as tripmeter, distance to empty,
elapsed time, average fuel consumptionand instant fuel consumption on the dis-
play when the ignition switch is in the ON
position. All stored driving information
(except distance to empty and instant
fuel consumption) is reset if the battery isdisconnected. Press the TRIP button for less than 1
second to select any mode as follows:

All warning lights are checked by turning
the ignition switch ON (do not start the
engine). If any light that does not illumi-
nate, we recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
After starting the engine, check to make
sure that all warning lights are off. If anyare still on, this indicates a situation that
needs attention. When releasing the
parking brake, the brake system warning
light should go off. The fuel warning light
will stay on if the fuel level is low.
Air bag warning light
(if equipped)
This warning light will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds each time you
turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-tion. This light also comes on when the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is
not working properly. If the AIR BAG
warning light does not come on, or con-
tinuously remains on after operating for
about 6 seconds when you turned the
ignition switch to the ON position or start-
ed the engine, or if it comes on while
driving, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized Kia deal-
er.
For information about the passenger’s
front air bag ON/OFF indicator, refer to
"Air bag - supplemental restraint system"in section 3.

Anti-lock brake system
(ABS) warning light (if equipped)
This warning light illuminates if the igni-
tion switch is turned to ON and goes off
in approximately 3 seconds if the system
is operating normally.
If the ABS warning light remains on,
comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, this indicates
that the ABS may have malfunctioned.
If this occurs, we recommend to have the
system checked by an authorized Kia
dealer. The normal braking system will
still be operational, but without the assis-
tance of the anti-lock brake system. Electronic brake force distri-bution (EBD) system warninglight
If two warning lights illumi- nate at the same time while
driving, your vehicle may
have a malfunction with ABSand EBD system.
In this case, your ABS and regular brake
system may not work normally. We rec-
ommend that the system be checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.
Seat belt warning
As a reminder to the driver and passen-
ger, the seat belt warning light will blink
or illuminate for approximately 6 seconds
each time you turn the ignition switch ON
regardless of belt fastening.
For details, refer to the seat belt on chap- ter 3.
WARNING
If the both ABS and Brake warning
lights are on and stay on, your vehi-
cle’s brake system will not work
normally. So you may experience
an unexpected and dangerous situa-
tion during sudden braking. In this
case, avoid high speed driving and
abrupt braking. We recommend that
the system be checked by an author-
ized Kia dealer.

Features of your vehicle
Engine oil pressure warning
This warning light indicates the engine oil
pressure is low.
If the warning light illuminates while driv- ing:
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and stop.
2. With the engine off, check the engine oil level. If the level is low, add oil as required.
If the warning light remains on after
adding oil or if oil is not available, we rec-
ommend that you call an authorized Kia
dealer.
Turn signal indicator
The blinking green arrows on the instru-
ment panel show the direction indicated
by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on
but does not blink, blinks more rapidly
than normal, or does not illuminate at all,
it indicates a malfunction in the turn sig-
nal system. You should consult your deal-
er for repairs.
This indicator also blinks when the haz-
ard warning switch is turned on.
High beam indicator
This indicator illuminates when the head- lights are on and in the high beam posi-
tion or when the turn signal lever is pulled
into the Flash-to-Pass position.CAUTION
If the engine is not stopped imme- diately after the engine oil pressurewarning light is illuminated, severedamage could result.
CAUTION
If the oil pressure warning lightstays on while the engine is run-
ning, serious engine damage mayresult. The oil pressure warninglight comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. In normal
operation, it should come on whenthe ignition switch is turned on, then go out when the engine is
started. If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine isrunning, there is a serious malfunc-tion.
If this happens, stop the car as soonas it is safe to do so, turn off theengine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine oil to
the proper level and start the engine again. If the light stays on with theengine running, turn the engine offimmediately. In any instance where
the oil light stays on when theengine is running, we recommendthat the system be checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

Front fog light indicator
(if equipped)
This indicator comes on when the front
fog lights are ON.
Rear fog light indicator
(if equipped)
This indicator illuminates when the rear
fog lights are ON.

Parking brake & brake fluidwarning
Parking brake warning
This warning light is illuminated when the
parking brake is applied with the ignition
switch in the START or ON position. The
warning light should go off when the
parking brake is released.
The parking brake warning chime (if
equipped) will sound to remind you that the
parking brake is applied when you are driv-
ing above approximately 10 km/h (6 mph).
Always release the parking brake before
you drive. Low brake fluid level warning
If the warning light remains on, it may
indicate that the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
If the warning light remains on:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately and add
fluid as required. Then check all brake
components for fluid leaks. 3. Do not drive the vehicle if leaks are
found, the warning light remains on or
the brakes do not operate properly. We
recommend that you contact an
authorized Kia dealer.
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-diago-
nal braking systems. This means you still
have braking on two wheels even if one of
the dual systems should fail. With only one
of the dual systems working, more than
normal pedal travel and greater pedal
pressure are required to stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as short a
distance with only a portion of the brake
system working. If the brakes fail while you
are driving, shift to a lower gear for addi-
tional engine braking and stop the vehicle
as soon as it is safe to do so.
To check bulb operation, check whether
the parking brake and brake fluid warning
light illuminates when the ignition switchis in the ON position.
WARNING
Driving the vehicle with a warning
light on is dangerous. If the brake
warning light remains on, we rec-
ommend that the system be serv-
iced by an authorized Kia dealer.
