Power steeringPower Steering uses energy from the
engine to assist you in steering the
vehicle. If the engine is off or if the
power steering system becomes
inoperative, the vehicle may still be
steered, but it will require increased
steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power
steering checked by an Authorized
Kia Dealer.
Electronic power steering The wheel speed sensor controls
steering power according to the vehi-
cle’s speed.
The steering wheel becomes heavier
as the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s
speed decreases for the better con-
trol of the steering wheel.
✽ ✽
NOTICE• Never hold the steering wheel
against a stop (extreme right or
left turn) for more than 5 seconds
with the engine running. Holding
the steering wheel for more than 5
seconds in either position may
cause damage to the power steer-
ing pump.
• If the power steering drive belt breaks or if the power steering
pump malfunctions, the steering
effort will greatly increase.

Driving your vehicle
The Electronic Stability Program
(ESP) monitors information from var-
ious vehicle sensors and then com-
pares the driver's commands with
the actual behavior of the vehicle. If
an unstable condition occurs - a sud-
den evasive movement for example -
ESP intervenes within fractions of a
second via the engine computer and
brake system and attempts to stabi-
lize the vehicle.
ESP operationESP ON condition
 When the ignition is turnedON, ESP and ESP OFF
indicator lights illuminate
for approximately 3 sec-
onds, then ESP is turned
on.
 Press the ESP button to turn ESP off. (ESP OFF
indicator will illuminate). To
turn the ESP on, press the
ESP button (ESP OFF
indicator light will go off).
 When starting the engine, you may hear a slight tick-
ing sound. This is the ESP
performing an automatic
system self-check and
does not indicate a prob-
lem.
When operating
When the ESP is in opera-
tion, ESP indicator light
blinks.
 When the ElectronicStability Program is oper-
ating properly, you can feel
a slight pulsation in the
vehicle. This is only the
effect of brake control and
indicates nothing unusual.
 When moving out of the mud or slippery road,
pressing the accelerator
pedal may not cause the
engine rpm (revolutions
per minute) to increase.

Type BOperates as follows when the igni-
tion switch is turned ON.
OFF/LO/HI/ : See the explanation
for type A operation.
AUTO (if equipped); The rain sensor located on theupper end of windshield glass
senses the amount of rainfall and
controls the wiping cycle for the
proper intervals. The more it rains,
the faster the wiper operates.
When the rain stops, the wiper
stops. To vary the speed setting,
turn the speed control knob (
➀).
(S : slow operation, F: fast opera-
tion.) If the ignition switch is turned ON
when the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode, or wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when the ignition switch is ON,
wiper will operate once to perform a
self-check of the system. Set the
wiper to OFF position when the wiper
is not in use.

Driving tips25FUEL REQUIREMENTSGasoline engine (unleaded)Your new Kia vehicle is designed to
use only unleaded fuel with a mini-
mum Octane Rating of 87 Anti-
Knock Index (AKI).✽ ✽NOTICENEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The
use of leaded fuel is detrimental to
the catalytic converter and will
damage the engine control system’s
oxygen sensor and affect emission
control.
Never add any fuel system cleaning
agents to the fuel tank other than
what Kia has specified. (Consult an
Authorized Kia Dealer for details.)
Gasoline containing alcohol
and methanolGasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alco-
hol), and gasoline or gasohol con-
taining methanol (also known as
wood alcohol) are being marketed
along with or instead of leaded or
unleaded gasoline.
Do not use gasohol containing more
than 10% ethanol, and do not use
gasoline or gasohol containing any
methanol. Either of these fuels may
cause drivability problems and dam-
age to the fuel system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any
kind if drivability problems occur. Vehicle damage or driveability prob-
lems may not be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty if they result
from the use of:
1. Gasohol containing more than
10% ethanol.
2. Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.
3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
✽ ✽ NOTICENever use gasohol which contains
methanol. Discontinue use of any
gasohol product which impairs dri-
vability.

HOMELINK® WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)Your new mirror comes with an inte-
grated HomeLink Universal
Transceiver, which allows you to pro-
gram the mirror to activate your
garage door(s), estate gate, home
lighting, etc. The mirror actually
learns the codes from your various
existing transmitters.
CAUTION
 When programming the
HomeLink® Wireless ControlSystem, you may be operatinga garage door or gate opera-tor. Make sure that people andobjects are out of the way ofthe moving door or gate toprevent potential harm ordamage.
 Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacksthe safety stop and reversefeature as required by federalsafety standards. (Thisincludes any garage dooropener model manufacturedbefore April 1, 1982.) A garagedoor opener which cannotdetect an object, signaling thedoor to stop and reverse, doesnot meet current federal safe-ty standards. Using a garagedoor opener without thesefeatures increases risk of seri-ous injury or death. For moreinformation, call 1-800-355-3515 or on the internet atwww.homelink.com.
(Continued)
(Continued) Retain the original transmitter for future programming proce-dures (i.e., new vehicle pur-chase). It is also suggestedthat upon the sale of the vehi-cle, the programmedHomeLink buttons be erasedfor security purposes (followstep 1 in the “Programming”portion of this text).
