If the warning light illuminates while driving:
1. Drive to the nearest safe location and carefully stop
your vehicle.
2. With the engine OFF, check the generator drive belt
for looseness or breakage.
3. If the belt is adjusted properly, a problem exists
somewhere in the electrical charging system. Have
an Authorized Kia Dealer locate and correct the
problem as soon as possible.Engine Oil Pressure Warning This warning light indicates the engine oil pressure is
low.
If the warning light comes ON while driving:
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and stop.
2. With the engine OFF, check the engine oil level. If
the level is low, add oil as required.
If the warning light remains ON after adding oil or if
oil is not available, call an Authorized Kia Dealer.Low Fuel Level Warning This warning light indicates the fuel tank is near
empty. The warning light will come on when the fuel
level has dropped to about 9 liters (2.4 US gal.).
Refuel as soon as possible.
✽
NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with a loose or broken
generator belt; the engine could be damaged by
overheating because this belt also drives the water
pump.
✽
NOTICE
 If the engine is not stopped as soon as possible,
severe engine damage could result.
 Do not drive the vehicle when the Engine Oil
Pressure Warning Light is ON.

4-31 Flashing ON and OFF :
If the CHECK ENGINE light begins to flash ON and
OFF, a more serious problem with the ECS or exhaust
system component has been detected. If this happens,
and there is no degradation to performance, the vehicle
is still driveable (avoid high speeds) but should be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer at your earliest
possible convenience. If the flashing CHECK
ENGINE light is accompanied by a decrease in power
or poor running conditions, safely stop the vehicle and
immediately contact Kia Roadside Assistance.
Note that the CHECK ENGINE light will illuminate
for a problem like a loose or missing gas cap, but will
not illuminate as a result of low engine oil or coolant,
low automatic transaxle fluid or engine overheating.
The driver will be alerted to these conditions by other
indicators on the instrument panel.
CAUTION
 Prolonged driving with the On Board
Diagnostic System Malfunction Indicator Light
()illuminated may cause damage to the
emission control systems which could effect
driveability and/or fuel economy.
 If the On Board Diagnostic System
Malfunction Indicator Light () begins to
flash ON and OFF, potential catalytic convert-
er damage is possible which could result in
loss of engine power. Have the On Board
Diagnostic System inspected as soon as possi-
ble by an authorized Kia dealer.

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.

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.

2. Make sure the air conditioner is off.
3. If coolant or steam is boiling out of the radiator,
stop the engine, then turn the ignition switch to the
ON position. Do not restart the engine. The radiator
cooling fan will automatically operate with the
ignition switch in the ON position. If the cooling
fan does not operate, call an Authorized Kia Dealer
for assistance.
If coolant is not boiling out, allow the engine to
idle and open the hood to permit the engine to cool
gradually.
If the temperature does not go down with the
engine idling, stop the engine and allow sufficient
time for it to cool.4. The coolant level should then be checked. If the
level in the reservoir is low, look for leaks at the
radiator hoses and connections, heater hoses and
connections, radiator, and water pump. If you find a
major leak or another problem that may have
caused the engine to overheat, do not operate the
engine until the problem has been corrected. Call
an Authorized Kia Dealer for assistance.
If you do not find a leak or other problem, carefully
add coolant to the reservoir.
If the engine frequently overheats, have the cooling
system checked and repaired.

WARNING - Removing
Radiator Cap
Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot
coolant and steam may blow out under
pressure. This could cause serious injury.
