Driving your vehicle
Lane change signals To signal a lane change, move the
turn signal lever slightly and hold it in
position. The lever will return to the
OFF position when released.
If an indicator stays on and does not
flash or if it flashes abnormally, one
of the turn signal bulbs may be
burned out and will require replace-
ment.✽ ✽
NOTICEIf an indicator flash is abnormally
quick or slow, bulb may be burned
out or have a poor electrical con-
nection in the circuit. Automatic headlight aiming
(if equipped)
To provide better driver visibility and
reduce eye fatigue, the headlight
aiming (direction) is automatically
controlled depending on vehicle load
and vehicle angle (when vehicle is
loaded with passengers, cargo or
used for towing, the additional load
can alter the headlight aiming point
on the road surface). This system
provides constant automatic head-
light aiming under various vehicle
conditions and angles to ensure the
headlights are always pointed in the
right direction.
✽ ✽

NOTICEIf the automatic headlight aiming
system does not operate when the
vehicle is loaded with passengers
and the front portion of the vehicle
is at an elevated angle, or it is not
adjusting correctly, have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an author-
ized Kia dealer. Do not attempt to
adjust the headlights manually,
damage to the automatic headlight
aiming system could occur.

Driving tips85✽
✽NOTICEProlonged rocking may cause engine
over-heating, transaxle damage or
failure, and tire damage.
Driving at night Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight,
here are some important tips to
remember:
 Slow down and keep more dis-
tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
 Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other driver's head-
lights.
 Keep your headlights clean and properly aimed on vehicles not
equipped with the automatic head-
light aiming feature. Dirty or
improperly aimed headlights will
make it much more difficult to see
at night.
 Avoid staring directly at the head- lights of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the rain Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you’re not
prepared for the slick pavement.
Here are a few things to consider
when driving in the rain:
 A heavy rainfall will make it harderto see and will increase the dis-
tance needed to stop your vehicle,
so slow down.
 Keep your windshield wiping equipment in good shape. Replace
your windshield wiper blades when
they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.
 If your tires are not in good condi- tion, making a quick stop on wet
pavement can cause a skid and
possibly lead to an accident. Be
sure your tires are in good shape.
 Turn on your headlights to make it easier for others to see you.

WARNING
- Spinning tires
Do not spin the wheels, espe-
cially at speeds more than 35
mph (56 km/h). Spinning the
wheels at high speeds when the
vehicle is stationary could
cause a tire to overheat, explode
and injure bystanders.
