(Continued)
 Always wear your safety belt. It can help
keep you away from the air bags during
heavy braking just before a collision.
 Air bags are designed to inflate only in
severe frontal collisions and will generally
not provide protection in side or rear
impacts, rollovers or less severe frontal colli-
sions. They will also not provide protection
from later impacts in a multi-impact colli-
sion.
 If your vehicle has been subjected to flood
conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing
water on the floor of the vehicle, etc.) or if
your vehicle has become flood damaged in
any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle
or put the key in the ignition before discon-
necting the battery. This may cause air bag
deployment, which could result in serious
personal injury or death. Have the vehicle
towed to an authorized Kia dealer for
inspection and necessary repairs.
Air Bag System ComponentsThe main components of your vehicle’s SRS are:
 One air bag in the steering wheel for the driver, and
another in the dashboard for the front passenger.
 A diagnostic system that continually monitors sys-
tem operation.
 An indicator light to warn you of a possible problem
with the system.
 Emergency power backup in case your car’s electri-
cal system is disconnected in a crash.

✻ ✻
NOTICE
 Use when the engine is running, and remove a
plug from the power outlet after using the elec-
tric appliance. Using when the engine stops or
remaining the electric appliance with plugged
in for many hours may cause the battery to be
discharged.
 If you have to use electrical accessories that
draw higher power(vacuum cleaners, lights,
coolers, etc.), use the power outlet intermittent-
ly and with caution.
 If electrical accessories are plugged into the
power outlet for long periods with engine off,
the vehicle battery will discahrge and battery
life will be shortened.
 Close the power outlet cover when not in use.
 Some electronic devices can cause electronic
interference when plugged into a vehicle’s
power outlet. These devices may cause exces-
sive audio static and malfunctions in other
electronic systems or devices used in your
vehicle.

✽
NOTICE
 If the ABS warning light is ON and stays ON,
you may have a problem with the ABS system.
In this case, however, your regular brakes will
work normally.
 The ABS warning light will stay ON for 2~3
seconds after the engine starts. During that
time, the ABS will go through self-diagnosis
and the light will go OFF if everything is nor-
mal. If the light stays ON you may have a
problem with your ABS system. Contact an
authorized Kia dealer for service as soon as
possible.✽
NOTICE
 If the battery is discharged and the engine is
jump started, the ABS warning light may come
ON. This condition occurs because of a dis-
charged battery and not because there is an
anti-lock brake system malfunction.
 Have the battery recharged before driving the
vehicle.

Driving Tips5-10
Snow Tires
When snow tires are used, select the size and
construction specified on the Tire Pressure Label. It is
strongly recommended that snow tires be used on all
four wheels, or poor handling may result. Snow tires
should not be operated at speeds exceeding 75 mph
(120 km/h).
These tires should be inflated 4 psi (28 kPa,
0.3 kg/cm
2) above the recommended pressures shown
on the Tire Specification/Pressure Label, but inflation
should never exceed the maximum cold-tire pressure
shown on the tire sidewalls.
Do not install studded tires without first checking
local, provincial and municipal regulations for
possible restrictions against their use.
WARNING - Snow Tire Size
Snow tires should be equivalent in size and
type to the vehicle’s standard tires. Otherwise,
the safety and handling of your vehicle may be
adversely affected.
Winter Driving We recommend that you carry emergency
equipment. Some things you might include are tire
chains, a window scraper, windshield de-icer, a bag
of sand or salt, flares, a small shovel and jumper
cables.
 Make sure you have sufficient ethylene glycol
coolant in the radiator.
 Check the battery condition and cables. Cold
temperatures reduce the capacity of any battery, so it
must be in top shape to provide enough winter
starting power.
 Make sure the engine oil viscosity is suitable for
cold weather.
 Check the ignition system for loose connections and
damage.
 Use antifreeze-formulated windshield washer fluid
and make sure you have sufficient fluid for your
trip. (Do not use engine coolant antifreeze.)
 Do not use the parking brake if it might freeze. This
is most likely to happen after driving in slushy or
wet conditions and temperatures drop into the
freezing range. When parking, shift to P (Park) with
automatic transaxle, or to 1 (First) or R (Reverse)
with a manual transaxle and block the rear wheels.
