DRIVING TIPS
5-4 Do not operate the vehicle when
there are signs of engine malfunction,
such as misfire or a noticeable loss of
performance.
 Do not misuse or abuse the engine.
Examples of misuse are coasting
with the ignition off and descending
steep grades in gear with the ignition
off.
 Do not operate the engine at high idle
speed for extended periods (5
minutes or more).
 Do not modify or tamper with any
part of the engine or emission control
system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by a
qualified technician.
Failure to observe the above precautions
could result in damage to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle and could
void your warranties.
BEFORE DRIVINGBefore entering vehicle:
 Be sure that all windows, outside
mirror(s), and outside lights are clean.
 Check the condition of the tires.
 Check under the vehicle for any sign
of leaks.
 Be sure there are no obstacles behind
you if you intend to back up.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.

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.

ROAD WARNINGHAZARD WARNING FLASHERThe hazard warning flasher serves as a
warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching,
overtaking, or passing your vehicle. It
should be used whenever emergency
repairs are being made or when the vehicle
is stopped near the edge of a roadway.Depress the flasher switch with the
ignition switch in any position.
All turn signal lights will flash
simultaneously.
• The hazard warning flasher will
operate whether your vehicle is
running or not.
 The turn signals do not operate when
the hazard flasher is on.
 Care must be taken when using the
hazard warning flasher while the
vehicle is being towed. Local
regulations may prohibit using it in
this manner.
OVERHEATINGIf your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, if you experience a loss of
power, or if you hear a loud knocking or
pinging noise, the engine has probably
overheated. You should follow these
procedures if you experience any of
these symptoms.
1. Turn the hazard warning flasher on,
then drive to the nearest safe location
and stop your vehicle; set the
automatic transaxle in P (Park), or
shift the manual transaxle to neutral
and apply the parking brake.
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

4. Turn off all unnecessary electrical
loads.
5. Connect the jumper cables in the exact
sequence shown in the illustration on
the previous page.
First, connect one end of a jumper
cable to the positive terminal (+) of
the discharged battery , then the
other end of the same cable to the
positive terminal (+) on the booster
battery, . Next, connect one end of
the other jumper cable to the negative
terminal (-) of the booster battery ,
then the other end to a solid,
stationary, metallic point (for
example, the engine lifting bracket) 
away from the battery. Do not connect
the jumper cable to or near any part
that moves when the engine is
cranked. Do not connect the jumper
cable from the negative terminal (-) of
the booster battery to the negative
terminal (-) of the discharged battery.Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the correct
battery terminals or the correct
ground. Do not lean over the battery
when making connections.
6. Start the engine of the vehicle with
the booster battery and run it at 2,000
rpm. Then, start the engine of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
If the cause of your battery discharging
is not apparent (for example, having left
the lights on accidentally), you should
have your vehicle checked by an
Authorized Kia Dealer.
PUSH-STARTINGA vehicle equipped with an automatic
transaxle cannot be started by pushing. A
vehicle equipped with a manual transaxle
should not be push-started because it
could damage the emission control
system. Follow the directions for jump
starting.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

CAUTION
Never tow a vehicle to start it. A
sudden surge forward when the
engine starts could cause a collision
with the tow vehicle.

ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
PROTECTIONFUSESA vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by fuses.
This vehicle has two fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side kick panel, the
other in the engine compartment near the
battery. A fuse panel chart is provided
later in this section.If any of your vehicle’s lights,
accessories, or controls do not work,
check the appropriate circuit fuse. If a
fuse has blown, the element inside the
fuse will be melted. Always replace a
blown fuse with one of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows out, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and
immediately consult an Authorized Kia
Dealer.
Two kinds of fuses are used: standard for
lower amperage rating, and main for
higher amperage ratings.
FUSE REPLACEMENTIf the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.

WARNING - Fuse
Replacement
 Never replace a fuse with
anything but another fuse of
the same type and rating.
 A higher capacity fuse could
cause damage and possibly
a fire.
 Never install a wire in place
of the proper fuse - even as a
temporary repair. It may
cause extensive wiring
damage and possibly a fire.
 Do not use a screwdriver or
any other metal object to
remove fuses because it may
cause a short circuit and
damage the system.
MS-CNA-Eng 6.QXD 7/25/2005 5:13 PM Page 7

1. Turn the ignition switch and all other
switches off.
2. Pull the suspected fuse straight out.
Use the removal tool provided on the
main fuse box in the engine
compartment. Refer to the fuse panel
chart on the fuse panel cover to
identify the likely problem fuse or
electrical circuit.
3. Check the removed fuse; replace if it
is blown.
Four (4) spare fuses are provided in the
engine compartment fuse panel cover.4. Push in a new fuse of the same
rating, and make sure it fits tightly in
the clips.
If it fits loosely, consult an
Authorized Kia Dealer.
If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of
the same rating from a circuit you may
not need for operating the vehicle, such
as the radio or clock (Room) fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the fuses
are OK, check the fuse box in the engine
compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must
be replaced.
1. Turn the ignition switch and all other
switches OFF.
2. Remove the fuse box cover by
turning the plastic knob located in the
cover counterclockwise until the
cover can be removed.
3. Check the fuses. If one is blown,
replace it with a new one of the same
rating.
