Hot Child Restraint
A child restraint system can become
very hot if it is left in a closed vehicle on
a sunny day. Be sure to check the seat
cover, buckles and latches before plac-
ing a child in the restraint system.
Children under age 13 must always ride

in the rear seats and must always be
properly restrained to minimize the risk
of injury in an accident, sudden stop or
sudden maneuver.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats than in the front seat. Even
with air bags, children can be seriously
injured or killed. Children too large for a
child restraint must use the seat belts
provided.
Most countries have child restraint laws
which require children to travel in
approved child restraint devices. The
laws governing the age or height/weight

WARNING
The oil and refrigerant in your vehicle's
air conditioning system is under very
high pressure. If proper service proce-
dures are not followed an explosion may
result. To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH, the air conditioning
system in your vehicle should only be
serviced by trained and certified Kia
technicians.
WARNING
Vehicles equipped with R-1234yf
Since the refrigerant is mildly flammable

and operated at high pressure, the air
conditioning system should only be ser-
viced by trained and certified techni-
cians.
It is important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant are used.
All refrigerants should be reclaimed with
proper equipment.
Venting refrigerants directly to the
atmosphere is harmful to individuals and
environment.
Failure to heed these warnings can lead
to serious injuries.

WARNING
ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust
fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately.
僅 Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause
unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
僅 Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change
the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust
or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the vehicle, have
the exhaust system checked as soon as possible by an authorized Kia dealer.
僅 Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a haz-
ardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any longer than it takes to
start the engine and back the car out.
僅 Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the
car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan
operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
If you must drive with the liftgate lid open because you are carrying objects that
make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the
fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air
intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or
other obstructions.

Each of these factors affects how many
kilometers (miles) you can get from a
liter (gallon) of fuel. To operate your
vehicle as economically as possible, use
the following driving suggestions to help
save money in both fuel and repairs:
僅 Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a mod-
erate rate. Don't make "jackrabbit"
starts or full-throttle shifts and main-
tain a steady cruising speed. Don't
race between stoplights. Try to adjust
your speed to the traffic so you don't
have to change speeds unnecessar-
ily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible.
Always maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles so you can avoid
unnecessary braking. This also
reduces brake wear.
僅 Drive at a moderate speed. The faster
you drive, the more fuel your vehicle
uses. Driving at a moderate speed,
especially on the highway, is one of
the most effective ways to reduce fuel
consumption.
僅 Don't "ride" the brake pedal. This can

Summer tires 5
Kia specifies summer tires on some
models to provide superior performance
on dry roads. Summer tire performance
is substantially reduced in snow and ice.
Summer tires do not have the tire trac-
tion rating M+S (Mud and Snow) on the
tire side wall. if you plan to operate your
vehicle in snowy or icy conditions, Kia
recommends the use of snow tires or all
season tires on all four wheels.
Snowy or icy conditions
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tires on
your tires. If snow tires are needed, it is
necessary to select tires equivalent in
size and type of the original equipment
tires. Failure to do so may adversely
affect the safety and handling of your
car. Furthermore, speeding, rapid accel-
eration, sudden brake applications, and

ous practices.

always use methods of viewing the
area behind you including looking
over both shoulders as well as contin-
uously checking all three rear view
mirrors.
僅 Always look around your vehicle to
make sure there are no objects or
obstacles before moving the vehicle in
any direction to prevent a collision.
僅 Always pay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to objects, par-
ticularly pedestrians, and especially
children.

NOTICE
僅 It is permissible to add 21 kPa (3 psi) to the standard tire pressure specification if
colder temperatures are expected soon.
Tires typically loose 7 kPa (1 psi) for every -11°C (12°F) temperature drop. If extreme
temperature variations are expected, recheck your tire pressure as necessary to
keep them properly inflated.
僅 We recommend that when replacing tires, use the same originally supplied with
the vehicles. If not, that affects driving performance.
僅 When driving in high altitude grades, it is natural for the atmospheric pressure to
decrease. Therefore, please check the tire pressure and add more air when neces-
sary. Additionally required tire air pressure per km above sea level: 10.5 kPa (1.5
psi) km
CAUTION
When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can damage the related parts or make it work irregu-
larly.

Recommended SAE viscosity number

CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before
checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy
areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick
areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that
could be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather oper-
ating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can provide
better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity engine
oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather.
Using oils of any viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine
damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be oper-
ated in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity
from the chart.
