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 4 Door 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 Lower Anchor Position Indicator 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 - 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 * : if equipped 5 6 7 1JBC3511/OJB030055/1JBA3056/1JBA3057/1JBA3059/1JBA3060/1JBA3061/1JBA3062/1LDN2168 3 49
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 bag 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 WARNING - Steering WARNING 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 (Continued) • Never allow front passenger 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 1JBA3059 • The curtain air bag deployment occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact. • 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.
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. 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 • Never put child restraint in the front passenger seat. 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.

If possible, continue to apply water with a sponge or cloth until medical attention is received. If electrolyte gets on your skin, thoroughly wash the contacted area. If you feel a pain or a burning sensation, get medical attention immediately. Wear eye protection when charging or working near a battery.
Maintenance Battery recharging 1JBA7017 For best battery service : • Keep the battery securely mounted. • Keep the top of the battery clean and dry. • Keep the terminals and connections 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, disconnect the battery cables. Your vehicle has a maintenance-free, calcium-based battery.
Maintenance TIRES AND WHEELS Tire care 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 1.6 km (one mile).
Maintenance ✽ NOTICE • Warm tires normally exceed recommended cold tire pressures by 28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do not release air from warm tires to adjust the pressure or the tires will be underinflated. • Be sure to reinstall the tire inflation valve caps. Without the valve cap, dirt or moisture could get into the valve core and cause air leakage. If a valve cap is missing, install a new one as soon as possible.
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) A compact spare tire has a shorter tread life than a regular size tire.
Maintenance (Continued) • 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 alignment. 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 86 - 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: 5.5JX14 5.5 - Rim width in inches. J - Rim contour designation.
Maintenance WARNING Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used. Regardless of the remaining tread, it is recommended that tires generally be replaced after six (6) years of normal service. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the aging process. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure, which could lead to a loss of control and an accident involving serious injury or death. 5.
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 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 Waxing Wax the vehicle when water will no longer bead on the paint. Always wash and dry the vehicle before waxing. Use a good quality liquid or paste wax, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect it and to maintain its luster. Removing oil, tar, and similar materials with a spot remover will usually strip the wax from the finish. Be sure to re-wax these areas even if the rest of the vehicle does not yet need waxing.
Maintenance INTERIOR CARE Aluminum wheel maintenance Interior general precautions The aluminum wheels are coated with a clear protective finish. • Do not use any abrasive cleaner, polishing compound, solvent, or wire brushes on aluminum wheels. They may scratch or damage the finish. • Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent, and rinse thoroughly with water. Also, be sure to clean the wheels after driving on salted roads. This helps prevent corrosion.
Maintenance Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt webbing Clean the belt webbing with any mild soap solution recommended for cleaning upholstery or carpet. Follow the instructions provided with the soap. Do not bleach or re-dye the webbing because this may weaken it. Cleaning the interior window glass If the interior glass surfaces of the vehicle become fogged (that is, covered with an oily, greasy or waxy film), they should be cleaned with glass cleaner. Follow the directions on the glass cleaner container.
