Necessary InspectionsFluid levels, such as engine oil, engine coolant,
brake/clutch fluid, and washer fluid should be checked
on a regular basis, with the exact interval depending on
the fluid. Further details are provided in Maintenance,
Section 7.Before Starting Close and lock all doors.
 Position the seat so that all controls are easily
reached.
 Adjust the inside and outside rearview mirrors.
 Be sure that all lights work.
 Check all gauges.
 Check the operation of warning lights when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
 Release the parking brake and make sure the brake
warning light goes out.
For safe operation, be sure you are familiar with your
vehicle and its equipment.
Drunk DrivingDrinking and driving is dangerous. Drunk driving is
the number one contributor to the highway death toll
each year. Alcohol impairs a driver’s judgment, vision
and muscular coordination. Even a small amount of
alcohol will affect a driver’s reflexes, perceptions and
judgment.
Please don’t drink and drive, or ride with a driver who
has been drinking. Choose a designated driver if you’re
with a group, or if you’re alone, call a cab.Drugs and DrivingDriving while under the influence of drugs is as
dangerous or more dangerous than driving under the
influence of alcohol, depending on the drug(s) used
and the quantity consumed. Don’t take drugs and drive.
If you are taking a prescription medicine, check with
your doctor or pharmacist regarding whether you may
operate a motor vehicle.

Keeping a vehicle in good operating condition is
important both for economy and safety. Therefore,
have an Authorized Kia Dealer perform scheduled
inspections and maintenance.
Special Driving ConditionsHazardous DrivingWhen hazardous driving is encountered because of
water, snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar hazard, follow
these suggestions:
 Drive cautiously and allow extra distance for
braking.
 Avoid sudden movements in braking or steering.
 When braking in vehicles without anti-lock brakes,
depress the brake pedal with a controlled up-and-
down motion until the vehicle is stopped.
5-7
WARNING - Engine OFF Motion
Never turn the engine OFF to coast down hills
or anytime the vehicle is in motion. The power
steering and power brakes will not function
without the engine running. Instead, downshift
to any appropriate gear for engine braking
effect.
✽
NOTICE
Do not pump the brake pedal on ABS equipped
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.

Tire Chains
Tire Chain Selection
Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary
according to location or type of road, so always check
them before installing chains.
Use only SAE Class “S’’ tire chains. Chains must be
the proper size for the vehicle, as recommended by the
chain manufacturer.
Chain Installation
When installing chains on your tires, carefully follow
the instructions of the chain manufacturer.
The chain bands will scratch the wheel covers.
Remove the covers before installing the chains.
WARNING - Tire Chains
 The use of chains may adversely affect
vehicle handling.
 Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) or the
chain manufacturer’s recommended speed
limit, whichever is lower.
 Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes,
sharp turns and other road hazards, which
may cause the vehicle to bounce.
 Avoid sharp turns or locked-wheel braking.
 Do not attempt to use a tire chain on the
temporary spare tire because it may impair
vehicle handling and result in damage to the
vehicle and the tire.

6-17 To remove spare tire:
Remove the cover from the spare tire. Turn the tire
hold-down wing bolt counterclockwise.
Store the jack and tire in the reverse order of removal.
To prevent the jack, jack handle, and tool bag from
“rattling’’ while the vehicle is in motion, store them
properly.
Important — Use of Compact Spare Tire
Your vehicle is equipped with a compact spare tire.
This compact spare tire takes up less space than a
regular-size tire. This tire is smaller than a
conventional tire and is designed for temporary use
only.
CAUTION
 You should drive carefully when the compact
spare is in use. The compact spare should be
replaced by the proper conventional tire and
rim at the first opportunity.
 The operation of this vehicle is not
recommended with more than one compact
spare tire in use at the same time.
CAUTION
This spare tire should be used only for VERY
short distances. Compact spares should NEVER
be used for long drives or extended distances.

6-19 Changing Tires
Jacking Instructions
The jack is provided for emergency tire changing only.
Follow jacking instructions to reduce the possibility of
personal injury.Tire Replacement
1. Park on a level surface and set the parking brake
firmly.
2. Set the automatic transaxle in P (Park), or shift the
manual transaxle into R (Reverse).
3. Activate the hazard warning flasher.
4. Remove the wheel lug nut wrench, jack, jack
handle, and spare tire from the vehicle.
5. Block both the front and rear of the wheel that is
diagonally opposite the jack position.
WARNING - Changing Tires
 Never attempt vehicle repairs or a tire
change in the traffic lanes of a public road or
highway. Always move the vehicle completely
off the road and onto the shoulder before
trying to change a tire. If you cannot find a
firm, level place off the road, call a towing
service company for assistance.
 Do not exceed the maximum permissible
load of the jack: 600 kg. (1,320 lbs).
 Be sure to use the correct front or rear
jacking positions on the vehicle; never use
the bumpers or any other part of the vehicle
for jack support.
 Never allow any portion of your body to get
beneath the vehicle while using the jack.
 Do not start or run the engine while the
vehicle is supported by the jack.
