CAUTION :
Do not use the washer in freezing tem-
peratures without first warming the
windshield in advance with the
defrosters; the washer solution could
freeze on contact with the windshield
and obscure your vision.
REAR WINDOW

✻
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.
• Adjust the air conditioner or
heater to the lowest operation
level when you have to use the
power socket while using air-
conditioner or heater.

• If you have to use to the electri-
cal accessories that draw higher
power (vacuum cleaner, lights,
cooler, etc.) only use the power
outlet intermittently and with
greater caution.
• Long periods of the vehicle not
being started (with electrical
accessories plugged in) will dis-
charge the vehicle’s battery and
degrade the battery life.
• Cap the cover of power outlet
when not in use.
• Some electronic devices can
cause electronic interference
when plugged into a vehicle’s
power outlet. These devices may
cause excessive audio static and
malfunctions in other electronic
systems or devices used in your
vehicle.
✻
NOTICE
• Do not hold the lighter in
because it will overheat.
• Only a genuine Kia lighter
should be used in the cigarette
lighter socket. The use of plug-in
accessories (shavers, hand-held
vacuums and coffee pots, for
example) may damage the socket
or cause electrical failure.
• If the lighter does not pop out
within 30 seconds, remove it to
prevent overheating.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION
(IF EQUIPPED)The FATC (Full Automatic Temperature
Control) system automatically controls
the heating and cooling. To activate it:
1. Push the "AUTO" switch. The
indicator light will come on
confirming that the Face, Floor and/
or Bi-Level modes as well as the
blower speed and air conditioner will
be controlled automatically.
2. Press the "temperature control"
switch to set the desired temperature.
The temperature will increase to the
maximum 32°C (90°F) by pressing
the red button. Each time the red
button is depressed, the set
temperature will increase by 0.5°C
(1°F).The temperature will decrease to the
minimum 17°C (62°F) by pressing
the blue button. Each time the blue
button is depressed, the set
temperature will decrease by 0.5°C
(1°F).
AMBIENT SWITCHPressing the AMB button displays the
ambient temperature on the LCD.MANUAL OPERATIONThe heating and cooling system can be
controlled manually if the “AUTO”
button is not selected. In the manual
state, the system works sequentially
according to the order of buttons
selected.
System function not manually selected
will be controlled automatically.
Press the "AUTO" button in order to
convert to automatic control of the

If you believe you may have gottenyour brakes wet, apply them lightly
while driving until normal braking
operation returns.WINTER DRIVING We recommend that you carryemergency 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.
SNOW TIRESWhen 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 120 km/h (75 mph).
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.

ProgrammingYour vehicles may require the ignition
switch to be turned to the "ACC"
position for programming and/or
operation of HomeLink. It is also
recommended that a new battery be
replaced in the hand-held transmitter of
the device being programmed to
HomeLink for quicker training and
accurate transmission of the radio-
frequency.
Follow these steps to train your
HomeLink mirror:1. When programming the buttons for
the first time, press and hold the two
outside HomeLink buttons ( ,
), releasing when the
indicator light begins to flash
(approximately 20 seconds). This
procedure erases the factory-set
default codes. Do not perform this
step when programming additional
transmitters.
MMSA5005
WARNING
Do not use HomeLink with any
garage door opener that lacks
the safety stop and reverse
feature as required by federal
safety standards (includes
garage doors manufactured
before April 1, 1982), as these
doors can increase the risk of
serious injury or death. Call
1.800.355.3515 or visit

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.
EMERGENCY STARTINGJUMP STARTINGJump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid harm to
yourself or damage to your vehicle or
battery, follow the jump starting
procedures on the next page. If in doubt,
we strongly recommend that you have a
competent technician or towing service
jump start your vehicle.
6-3
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.
✻
NOTICE
Use only a 12volt jumper system.
You can damage a 12volt starting
motor, ignition system, and other
electrical parts by using a 24-volt
power supply (two 12-volt batteries
in series or a 24-volt motor
generator set).

JUMP STARTING
PROCEDURE1. Make sure the booster battery is 12
volts and that its negative terminal is
grounded.
2. Check the electrolyte level of each of
the battery cells.
3. If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to
touch.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
6-4
WARNING - Battery
• Keep all flames or sparks
away from the battery. The
battery produces hydrogen
gas which may explode if
exposed to flame or sparks.
Do not attempt to jump start
vehicle if the discharged
battery is frozen or if the
electrolyte level is low; the
battery may rupture or
explode.
