CAUTION - Hot metal parts Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that has been closed during warm/hot weather; they could burn a child. Check seats, seatbelt webbing and buckles before you place a child anywhere near them.
Knowing your vehicle Child restraint system For small children and babies, the use of a child seat or infant seat is strongly recommended and is required by law in almost all states. This child seat or infant seat should be of appropriate size for the child and should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Children riding in the car should sit on the rear seat and must always be properly restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver.
Knowing your vehicle (Continued) • If the vehicle’s safety belt will not properly fit the child, you must use an appropriate child restraint or booster seat in the rear. • Never allow a child to stand up or kneel while the vehicle is moving. • Never use an infant carrier or child seat that "hooks" over a seatback. It will not provide adequate protection in an accident.
Knowing your vehicle Placing a passenger safety belt into the auto lock mode The use of the auto lock mode will ensure that the normal movement of the child in the vehicle does not cause the safety belt to be pulled out and loosen the firmness of its hold on the child restraint system. To secure a child restraint system, use the following procedure.
Knowing your vehicle "Click" MMSA3028 MMSA3029 MMSA3030 3. Pull the shoulder portion of the safety belt all the way out. When the shoulder portion of the safety belt is fully extended, it will shift the retractor to the “Auto Lock” (child restraint) mode. 4. Slowly allow the shoulder portion of the safety belt to retract and listen for an audible “clicking” or “ratcheting” sound. This indicates that the retractor is in the “Auto Lock” mode. If no distinct sound is heard, repeat steps 3 and 4. 5.
Knowing your vehicle WARNING - Auto lock mode The lap/shoulder belt automatically returns to the “emergency lock mode” whenever the belt is allowed to retract fully. Therefore, the preceding seven steps must be followed each time a child restraint is installed. If the safety belt is not placed in the “Auto lock” mode, severe injury or death could occur to the child and/or other occupants in the vehicle in a collision, since the child restraint will not be effectively held in place.
Knowing your vehicle WARNING - Child restraint check Check that the child restraint system is secured by pushing and pulling it in different directions. Incorrectly fitted child restraints may swing, twist, tip or come away causing death or injury. WARNING - Child restraint anchorage • Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints.

Also, test the child restraint seat before you place the child in it. Tilt the seat from side to side. Also try to tug the seat forward. Check to see if the anchors hold the seat in place.
Knowing your vehicle AIR BAG - ADVANCED SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM 1 2 3 4 (1) Driver’s air bag (2) Front passenger’s air bag (3) Side air bag* (4) Curtain air bag* (5) SRS Control Module (6) Side impact sensor* (7) Front impact sensor* (8) Front seat position sensor (9) Occupant classification system * : if equipped 5 6 7 8 9 1JBN3511A/OMGA035047/OMGA035048/OMGA035049/OMGA035051/OMGA035052/OMGA035053/OMGA035055/OMGA035054/1LDN2166/1LDN2167/1LDN2168 3 48
Knowing your vehicle What your air bag system does Driver’s air bag and front passenger’s air bag are designed to supplement the protection offered by the safety belt in certain frontal collisions. Likewise, side air bags and curtain air bags are designed to supplement the protection offered by the safety belt in side collisions. Safety belts are designed to reduce the injury of the driver or passengers in case of light impact or collision.
Knowing your vehicle (Continued) • Driver’s and front passenger’s air bag are designed to inflate only in certain frontal collisions, and side and curtain air bags are designed to inflate in certain side impacts. Frontal air bags are not designed to provide protection in side impacts, rear impacts, rollovers, or less severe frontal collisions. They will not provide protection from later impacts in a multiimpact collision. • If your vehicle has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g.
Knowing your vehicle Additionally, your SRS is equipped with an occupant classification system in the front passenger’s seat. The occupant classification system detects the presence of a passenger in the front passenger’s seat and will turn off the front passenger’s air bag under certain conditions in order to protect smaller front passenger seat occupants. For more detail, see “Occupant Classification System” later in this section.
Knowing your vehicle WARNING - Steering wheel • You must always sit as far back from the steering wheel air bag as possible (chest at least 250 mm (10 inches) away from the steering wheel), while still maintaining a comfortable seating position for good vehicle control, in order to reduce the risk of injury or death in a collision. • Never place objects over the air bag storage compartments or between the air bags and yourself.
Knowing your vehicle Main components of occupant classification system OMG035090N If there is no passenger in the front passenger seat or if the passenger in the front passenger's seat is very small (such as a child), the front PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator may go ON. When this indicator is ON, the front passenger's air bag will not deploy. The side air bag will not deploy if the front seat is unoccupied. The side air bag may deploy if the front seat is occupied by a small occupant.
Knowing your vehicle • The “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator illuminates after the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position or after the engine is started. If the front passenger's seat is occupied by a very small person, the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator will remain illuminated and the front passenger air bag will not deploy in frontal crashes.
Knowing your vehicle WARNING - Children in rear seat Even though your vehicle is equipped with the occupant classification system, children aged 12 and under should be seated in the rear seats. Do not install a child restraint system in the front passenger’s seat since a child restraint may result in an improper reading by the occupant classification sensor. The infant/child could be severely injured or killed by an air bag deployment in case of an accident.
Knowing your vehicle (Continued) (Continued) (Continued) 1KMN3661 1KMN3663 - Never put a heavy load in the front passenger seat. - Never sit with hips shifted towards the front of the seat. 1KMN3665 - Never place feet on the dashboard. 1KMN3662 1KMN3664 1KMN3666 - Never excessively recline the front passenger seatback. (Continued) - Never lean on the center console. - Never sit on one side of the front passenger seat. (Continued) - Always sit in a proper seating position.
Knowing your vehicle (Continued) • Kia does not endorse nor will it support any changes to any part or structure of the vehicle that could affect the advanced air bag system, including the occupant classification system. Specifically, the front passenger seat, dashboard or door should not be replaced except by an authorized Kia dealer using original Kia parts designed for this vehicle and model.
Knowing your vehicle (Continued) • Never allow front passengers to put their hands, feet or face on or close to the instrument panel. In the event of air bag deployment, such a mispositioned occupant would be likely to suffer severe injury or death. • Never allow children, pregnant women or weak persons to sit in the front passenger seat. They may be seriously injured by the air bag inflation when air bag deploys.
Knowing your vehicle • The side air bags (side and/or curtain air bags) are not designed to deploy in collisions from the front or rear of the vehicle or in most rollover situations. • The curtain air bags are designed to deploy only in certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact. OMG035051 1JBA3900 Curtain air bag (if equipped) Curtain air bags are located along both sides of the roof rails above the front and rear doors.
Knowing your vehicle Why didn’t my air bag go off in a collision? (Inflation and non-inflation conditions of the air bag) There are many types of accidents in which one or more of the air bags would not be expected to provide additional protection. These include rear impacts, second or third collisions in multiple impact accidents, as well as low speed impacts. Just because your vehicle is damaged and even if it is totally unusable, don’t be surprised that the air bags did not inflate.
Knowing your vehicle WARNING - Protecting air bag module and sensors • Do not hit or allow any heavy objects to hit the locations where air bags or sensors are installed. This may cause damage and unexpected air bag deployment, which could result in severe personal injury or death. • If the installation location or angle of the sensors is altered in any way, the air bags may deploy when they should not or they may not deploy when they should, causing severe injury or death.
Knowing your vehicle 1JBA3514 1JBA3900 Side air bags (if equipped) Side air bags (side and/or curtain air bags) are designed to inflate when an impact is detected by side collision sensors depending on the strength, speed or angles of impact of side impact of side impact collision or rollover. 3 62 Although the front air bags (driver’s and front passenger’s air bags) are designed to inflate only in frontal collision, it may inflate in any collision if front impact sensors detect a sufficient impact.
Knowing your vehicle 1JBB3520 1JBA3516 1JBA3521 • Frontal air bags are not designed to inflate in rear collisions, because occupants are moved backward by the force of the impact. In this case, the air bags do not provide protection. • Front air bags may not inflate in side impact collision, because occupants move to the direction of the collision, and thus in side impacts, frontal air bag deployment does not provide occupant protection.
Knowing your vehicle 1JBA3517 1JBA3522 1JBA3518 • Just before impact, drivers often brake heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the front portion of the vehicle causing it to “ride” under a vehicle with a higher ground clearance. Air bags may not inflate in this "under-ride" situation because deceleration forces that are detected by sensors may be significantly altered by such “under-ride” collisions.
Knowing your vehicle Air bag system operation • Air bags only operate when the ignition switch is turned to the ON or START positions. • Air bags inflate instantly in the event of serious frontal or side collision (if equipped with side air bag or curtain air bag) in order to help protect the occupants from serious physical injury. • There is no single vehicle speed at which the air bags will inflate.
Knowing 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. After the air bag inflates, you may feel substantial discomfort in breathing due to the contact of your chest to both the safety belt and the air bag, as well as from breathing the smoke and powder.
Knowing your vehicle Air bag (Supplemental Restraint System) service WARNING - Children • Never put a child in the front passenger seat, even if they are in a child restraint. If the front passenger air bag inflates, it may cause severe or fatal injuries. • When children are seated in the rear outboard seats in which curtain air bags are equipped, be sure to put the child restraint system as far away from the door side as possible, and secure the child restraint system to be locked in position.
Knowing your vehicle Repairing or scrapping the vehicle • Repairing/replacing the steering wheel, instrument panel, center console headliner/pillar trim, or modifying vehicle sheet metal components could disable the air bag system. Have such repairs and maintenance performed by an authorized Kia dealer. • Special care must be taken in scrapping or junking an air bag-equipped vehicle. Always refer such activities to a qualified professional.
Knowing your vehicle TRUNK (IF EQUIPPED) WARNING OMG035060N Outside the vehicle • To open the trunk, insert the key into the lock and turn it to the right (clockwise). • To close the trunk, use both hands to push the trunk lid down. Check to see if the trunk is completely shut.
Knowing your vehicle WARNING OMG035062 Inside the vehicle To open the trunk from inside the vehicle, pull the trunk lid release lever. WARNING - Exhaust fumes If you drive with the trunk lid open, you will draw dangerous exhaust fumes into your vehicle causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants. Open trunk lids can also dangerously obscure rear view vision. If you must drive with the trunk lid open, keep the air vents open so that additional outside air comes into the vehicle.
Knowing your vehicle HOOD OMG035064 OMG035065 Trunk lid lock knob (if equipped) Opening the hood: If the trunk lid lock knob (located near the latch) is in the “LOCK ( )” position when the trunk lid is closed, it will not be possible to open the trunk lid by using the remote release. In this instance, use the master key to unlock and open the trunk lid.
Knowing your vehicle FUEL FILLER LID Closing the hood 1.

The compact spare should be inflated to 420 kPa (60 psi). ✽ NOTICE Check the inflation pressure after installing the spare tire. Adjust it to the specified pressure, as necessary.
In case of an emergency Changing tires Jacking instructions The jack is provided for emergency tire changing only. Follow jacking instructions to reduce the possibility of personal injury. WARNING - Changing tires • Never attempt vehicle repairs in the traffic lanes of a public road or highway. • Always move the vehicle completely off the road and onto the shoulder before trying to change a tire. The jack should be used on level firm ground.
In case of an emergency WARNING - Changing a tire 1JBA6504 4. Remove the wheel lug nut wrench, jack, jack handle, and spare tire from the vehicle. 5. Block both the front and rear of the wheel that is diagonally opposite the jack position. • To prevent vehicle movement while changing a tire, always set the parking brake fully, and always block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being changed.
In case of an emergency 1JBA6025 OMG065017 OMG065018 7. Place the jack at the front or rear jacking position closest to the tire you are changing. Place the jack at the designated locations under the frame. The jacking positions are plates welded to the frame with two tabs and a raised dot to index with the jack. 8. Insert the jack handle into the jack and turn it clockwise, raising the vehicle until the tire just clears the ground. This measurement is approximately 30 mm (1.2 in).
In case of an emergency CAUTION Your vehicle has metric threads on the wheel studs and nuts. Make certain during wheel removal that the same nuts removed are reinstalled - or, if replaced, that nuts with metric threads and the same chamfer configuration are used. Installation of a non-metric thread nut on a metric stud or vice-versa will not secure the wheel to the hub properly and will damage the stud so that it must be replaced. Note that most lug nuts do not have metric threads.

Always protect your skin by washing your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water as soon as possible after handling used oil. OMG075003 Checking the engine oil level 1. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground. 2.
Maintenance ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM The high-pressure cooling system has a reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is filled at the factory. Check the antifreeze protection and coolant level at least once a year, at the beginning of the winter season, and before traveling to a colder climate. Checking the coolant level WARNING - Removing radiator cap • Never attempt to remove the radiator cap while the engine is operating or hot.
Maintenance Engine coolant • Use only soft (de-mineralized) water in the coolant mixture. • The engine in your vehicle has aluminum engine parts and must be protected by an ethylene-glycol-based coolant to prevent corrosion and freezing. • DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol coolant or mix them with the specified coolant. • Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze or less than 35% antifreeze, which would reduce the effectiveness of the solution.
Maintenance BRAKE FLUID If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX level. The level will fall with accumulated mileage. This is a normal condition associated with the wear of the brake linings. If the fluid level is excessively low, have the brake system checked by an authorized Kia dealer. Use only the specified brake fluid. (Refer to “Recommended Lubricants” later in this section.) OMG075007 Never mix different types of fluid.
Maintenance DRIVE BELTS POWER STEERING (IF EQUIPPED) In the event the power steering system requires frequent addition of fluid, the vehicle should be inspected by an authorized Kia dealer. Drive belts should be checked periodically for proper tension and replaced if necessary. At the same time, belts should be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or other evidence of deterioration and replaced if necessary.
Maintenance AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED) 4. With the engine still idling, pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean and reinsert it fully. 5. Pull out the dipstick again and check the fluid level. WARNING - Transaxle fluid OMG075009 Checking the automatic transaxle fluid level The automatic transaxle fluid level should be checked regularly. The volume of the transaxle fluid changes with temperature.
Maintenance LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS New automatic transaxle fluid should be red. The red dye is added so the assembly plant can identify it as automatic transaxle fluid and distinguish it from engine oil or antifreeze. The red dye, which is not an indicator of fluid quality, is not permanent. As the vehicle is driven, the automatic transaxle fluid will begin to look darker. The color may eventually appear light brown.
Maintenance AIR CLEANER ✽ NOTICE Do not drive with the air cleaner element removed; this will result in excessive engine wear. CAUTION - Air cleaner Operating the engine without the air cleaner may result in poor performance, emission control malfunction, and/or engine damage. OMG075012 Element cleaning This element may be air cleaned or replaced, depending on its condition. Unless it is very dirty, merely shake it to remove foreign particles.
Maintenance CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER (IF EQUIPPED) Outside air Recirculated air Blower Climate control air filter Heater core Evaporator core The climate control air filter should be replaced every 15,000 km (10,000 miles). If the vehicle is operated in the severely air-polluted cities or on dusty rough roads for a long period, it should be inspected more frequently and replaced earlier.
Maintenance WIPER BLADES Wiper blade maintenance Commercial hot waxes applied by automatic car washes have been known to make the windshield difficult to clean. Contamination of either the windshield or the wiper blades with foreign matter can reduce the effectiveness of the windshield wipers. Common sources of contamination are insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by some commercial car washes.
Maintenance BATTERY WARNING - Battery dangers Always read the following instructions carefully when handling a battery. Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or sparks away from the battery. 1JBA7037 Hydrogen, which is a highly combustible gas, is always present in battery cells and may explode if ignited. Keep batteries out of the reach of children because batteries contain highly corrosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow battery acid to contact your skin, eyes, clothing or paint finish. 1JBA7038 2.
Maintenance (Continued) • When lifting a plastic-cased battery, excessive pressure on the case may cause battery acid to leak, resulting in personal injury. Lift with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners. • Never attempt to charge the battery when the battery cables are connected. • The electrical ignition system works with high voltage. Never touch these components with the engine running or the ignition switched on.
Maintenance WARNING - Recharging battery When recharging the battery, observe the following precautions: • The battery must be removed from the vehicle and placed in an area with good ventilation. • Do not allow cigarettes, sparks, or flame near the battery. • Watch the battery during charging, and stop or reduce the charging rate if the battery cells begin gassing (boiling) violently or if the temperature of the electrolyte of any cell exceeds 49°C (120°F).
Maintenance TIRES AND WHEELS Tire care WARNING - Tire underin- For proper maintenance, safety, and maximum fuel economy, you must always maintain recommended tire inflation pressures and stay within the load limits and weight distribution recommended for your vehicle. Recommended cold tire inflation pressures All tire pressures (including the spare) should be checked every day when the tires are cold. “Cold Tires” means the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours or driven less than 1.
Maintenance ✽ NOTICE • Underinflation also results in excessive wear, poor handling and reduced fuel economy. Wheel deformation also is possible. Keep your tire pressures at the proper levels. If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it checked by an Authorized Kia Dealer. • Overinflation produces a harsh ride, excessive wear at the center of the tire tread, and a greater possibility of damage from road hazards.
Maintenance Remove the valve cap from the tire valve stem. Press the tire gage firmly onto the valve to get a pressure measurement. If the cold tire inflation pressure matches the recommended pressure on the tire and loading information label, no further adjustment is necessary. If the pressure is low, add air until you reach the recommended amount. If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the center of the tire valve. Recheck the tire pressure with the tire gage.
Maintenance Tread wear indicator 1LDA5026 Tire replacement If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear indicator will appear as a solid band across the tread. This shows there is less than 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) of tread left on the tire. Replace the tire when this happens. Do not wait for the band to appear across the entire tread before replacing the tire. Compact spare tire replacement (if equipped) Wheel alignment and tire balance A compact spare tire has a shorter tread life than a regular size tire.
Maintenance WARNING - Replacing tires • Driving on worn-out tires is very hazardous and will reduce braking effectiveness, steering accuracy, and traction. • Your vehicle is equipped with tires designed to provide for safe ride and handling capability. Do not use a size and type of tire and wheel that is different from the one that is originally installed on your vehicle. It can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could lead to handling failure or rollover and serious injury.
Maintenance Tire maintenance In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tire wear. If you find a tire is worn unevenly, have your dealer check the wheel alignement. When you have new tires installed, make sure they are balanced. This will increase vehicle ride comfort and tire life. Additionally, a tire should always be rebalanced if it is removed from the wheel.
Maintenance 92 - Load Index, a numerical code associated with the maximum load the tire can carry. H - Speed Rating Symbol. See the speed rating chart in this section for additional information. Wheel size designation Wheels are also marked with important information that you need if you ever have to replace one. The following explains what the letters and numbers in the wheel size designation mean. Example wheel size designation: 6.5JX16 6.5 - Rim width in inches. J - Rim contour designation.
Maintenance WARNING - Tire age A tire more than 6 years old may sustain separation of cord layers inside the tire. Tire failure to separation of cord, can cause accidents resulting in severe injuries or death. Make sure to check the manufacturing date of the tire and replace it within 6 years of that date. 4. Tire ply composition and material The number of layers or plies of rubber-coated fabric in the tire.
Maintenance Traction - AA, A, B & C The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, 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.
Maintenance Cold Tire Pressure: The amount of air pressure in a tire, measured in kilopascals (kPa) or pounds per square inch (psi) before a tire has built up heat from driving. Curb Weight: This means the weight of a motor vehicle with standard and optional equipment including the maximum capacity of fuel, oil and coolant, but without passengers and cargo.
Maintenance Speed Rating: An alphanumeric code assigned to a tire indicating the maximum speed at which a tire can operate. Traction: The friction between the tire and the road surface. The amount of grip provided. Tread: The portion of a tire that comes into contact with the road. Treadwear Indicators: Narrow bands, sometimes called "wear bars," that show across the tread of a tire when only 2/32 inch of tread remains.
Maintenance LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS Recommended lubricants Recommended SAE viscosity number To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only lubricants of the proper quality. The correct lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in improved fuel economy. Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction.
Maintenance EXTERIOR CARE Exterior general caution It is very important to follow the label directions when using any chemical cleaner or polish. Read all warning and caution statements that appear on the label. Finish maintenance Washing To help protect your vehicle’s finish from rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughly and frequently at least once a month with lukewarm or cold water. If you use your vehicle for off-road driving, you should wash it after each offroad trip.
Maintenance Finish damage repair Underbody maintenance Aluminum wheel maintenance Deep scratches or stone chips in the painted surface must be repaired promptly. Exposed metal will quickly rust and may develop into a major repair expense. Corrosive materials used for ice and snow removal and dust control may collect on the underbody.
