Introduction
VEHICLE BREAK-IN
PROCESS
No special break-in period is need-
ed. By following a few simple precau-
tions for the first 1,000 km (600
miles) you may add to the perform-
ance, economy and life of your vehi-
cle.
Do not race the engine.
Do not maintain a single speed forlong periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is
needed to properly break-in the
engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emer- gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
Avoid full-throttle starts.

Starting and stopping the
engine for turbo charger
intercooler
1. Do not race or accelerate the
engine immediately after starting.
If the engine is cold, allow the
engine to idle for several seconds
before it is driven to ensure suffi-
cient lubrication of the turbocharger unit.
2. After high speed or extended driv- ing, requiring a heavy engine load,
the engine should be allowed to
idle, as shown in the chart below,
before turning it off.
This idle time will allow the turbocharger to cool prior to shutting
the engine off.
WARNING
Do not turn the engine off imme-
diately after it has been subject-
ed to a heavy load. Doing so
may cause severe damage to
the engine or turbo charger unit.

Driving your vehicle
Manual transaxle operation
The manual transaxle has five for-
ward gears.
Press the clutch pedal down fully
while shifting, then release it slowly.
A special safety feature prevents
inadvertent shifting from 5 (Fifth) to
R (Reverse). The gearshift lever must
be returned to the neutral position
before shifting into R (Reverse).
Make sure the vehicle is completelystopped before shifting into R (Reverse).
Never operate the engine with thetachometer (rpm) in the red zone.
✽✽ NOTICE
To avoid premature clutch wear and
damage, do not drive with your foot
resting on the clutch pedal. Also,don’t use the clutch to hold the vehi-cle stopped on an upgrade, while
waiting for a traffic light, etc.Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy
traffic or while driving up steep hills,
downshift before the engine starts to
labor. Downshifting reduces the
chance of stalling and gives better
acceleration when you again need to
increase your speed. When the vehi-
cle is traveling down steep hills,
downshifting helps maintain safe
speed and prolongs brake life.

Parking brake & brake fluid warning
Parking brake warning
This light is illuminated when the
parking brake is applied with the igni-
tion switch in the START or ON posi-
tion. The warning light should go off
when the parking brake is released.
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 safelocation 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. Have it towed to
any Authorized Kia Dealer for a
brake system inspection and nec-
essary repairs.
To check bulb operation, check
whether the parking brake and brake
fluid warning light illuminates when
the ignition switch is in the ON posi-tion.
Low brake vacuum pressure warn- ing (for diesel, if equipped)
If the brake warning light remains on
after adding brake fluid and the brake
pedal becomes heavier or harder, it
may indicate that the brake vacuum
pump has any problem. Therefore
you should avoid high speed driving
or sudden stop, and you should
depress the brake pedal deeper and
harder than usual in braking. Make
sure to have the brake system
checked and repaired by an author-
ized Kia dealer.
WARNING
Driving the vehicle with a warn-
ing light on is dangerous. If thebrake warning light remains on,
have the brakes checked and
repaired immediately by an
authorized Kia Dealer.
