MALFUNCTION
INDICATOR LIGHT
(IF EQUIPPED)The CHECK ENGINE or malfunction
indicator light is installed in your
vehicle’s instrument panel and responds
to signals from the vehicle’s On Board
Diagnostic (OBD -II) System. The OBD-
II System monitors the performance of the
vehicle’s Emission Control System
(ECS), which is designed to reduce the
amount of air pollutants in engine exhaust
to the levels required by government
regulations.
When you first start the engine, the check
engine light will illuminate briefly as a
system check to confirm that the OBD-II
System is operating properly. As the
engine starts, this light turns off.
However, if at any time the OBD-II
system detects a faulty signal or
determines that the ECS is not performing
to specification, the CHECK ENGINE
light will illuminate continuously or flash.
Continuously ON :If the CHECK ENGINE light comes ON
while driving and illuminates continuously,
a potential problem has been discovered in
the ECS or one of the exhaust system
components. Generally, the vehicle will
continue to be driveablebut it should
be checked by an Authorized Kia Dealer
as soon as possible. This condition is
unlikely to lead to engine damage unless
a decrease in vehicle power or poor
running conditions is immediately
apparent.
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.

TURN SIGNALSThe same lever that controls the head-
lights also controls the turn signals. The
ignition switch must be ON for the turn
signals to function. Move the lever up or
down to activate the turn signals. The
turn signals will self-cancel after a turn is
completed. If the indicator continues to
flash after a turn, manually return the
lever to the OFF (middle) position.
LANE CHANGE SIGNALSTo signal a lane change, move the turn
signal lever slightly and hold it in
position. The lever will return to the
OFF(middle) position when released.
Green arrow indicators on the instrument
panel indicate which turn signal is
operating. If an indicator stays ON and
does not flash or if it flashes abnormally,
one or more of the turn signal bulbs may
be burned out and will require
replacement.
DAYTIME RUNNING
LIGHTS (DRL) Daytime Running Lights (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see the front
of your vehicle during the day. DRL can
be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially
helpful in the short periods after dawn
and before sunset.
The DRL system will make your High-
beam headlights turn OFF when:
• the headlight switch is ON.
• the parking brake is engaged.
• the engine stops.

DRIVING TIPS
5-8
DRIVING AT NIGHTBecause night driving presents many
more hazards than driving in the
daylight, here are some important tips to
remember:
 Slow down and keep more distance
between you and other vehicles as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in rural areas where there
may not be any street lights.
 Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other driver’s headlights.
 Keep your headlights clean and
properly aimed. Dirty or misaimed
headlights will make it much more
difficult to see at night.
 Avoid staring directly at the
headlights 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 RAINRain 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:
 Be sure your windshield wipers are
in good condition.
 A heavy rainfall will make it harder
to see and will increase the distance
needed to stop your vehicle, so slow
down.
 If your tires aren’t in good condition,
making a quick stop on wet
pavement can cause a skid and
possibly lead to an accident. Be sure
your tires and windshield wipers are
in good shape.
 Turn on your headlights to make it
easier for others to see you.
 Driving too fast through large
puddles can affect your brakes. If
you must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
WARNING -
Spinning
Tires
Do not spin the wheels
especially 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 by standers.
