VEHICLE BREAK-IN
PROCESSNo special break-in period is needed.
By following a few simple precautions
for the first 1,000 km (600 miles) you
may add to the performance, economy
and life of your vehicle.
 Do not race the engine.
 Do not maintain a single speed for
long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speeds are
beneficial for proper engine break-in.
 Avoid hard stops, except in
emergencies, to allow the brakes to
seat properly.
 Avoid full-throttle starts.

NOTICE
Always remove the ignition key,
engage the parking brake, close all
windows and lock all doors when
leaving your vehicle unattended.
CAUTION
The transponder in your ignition
key is an important part of the
immobilizer system. It is designed
to give years of trouble free service,
however you should avoid exposure
to moisture, static electricity and
rough handling. Immobilizer
system malfunction could occur.
CAUTION
Do not change, alter or adjust the
immobilizer system because it
could cause the immobilizer system
to malfunction and should only be
serviced by an authorized Kia
dealer.
Malfunctions caused by improper
alterations, adjustments or
modifications to the immobilizer
system are not covered by your
vehicle manufacturer warranty.

SEATBACK RECLINERTo recline the seatback;
1. Lean forward slightly and lift up on

the outside of the seat, toward the rear.
2. Lean back on the seat and adjust the

CAUTION
Do not place anything under the
front seats. Loose objects might
interfere with the seat slide
mechanism or possibly roll out
from under the seat and interfere
with the operation of the brake,
clutch or accelerator foot pedals.
WARNING - Passengers
To reduce the risk of sliding
under the lap portion of the
lap/shoulder belt, and potentially
suffering serious personal injury
or death in the event of a
collision, do not use the front
seatback in a reclined position
while the vehicle is in motion. If a
seat is reclined, the occupant’s
hip could slide under or out of
the lap portion of the
lap/shoulder belt during a
collision. If that occurs, the
occupant may no longer be
properly restrained, and the
safety belt could apply restraint
forces to the unprotected
abdomen resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
Therefore, keep the seatbacks in
a comfortably upright position
whenever the vehicle is in
motion.

IGNITION SWITCH ILLUMINATED IGNITION
SWITCHWhenever a door is opened, the ignition
switch will be illuminated for your
convenience, provided the ignition
switch is not in the “ON” position. The

IGNITION SWITCH AND
ANTITHEFT STEERING
COLUMN LOCK IGNITION SWITCH POSITIONLOCKThe steering wheel is locked to protect
against theft. The ignition key can be
removed only in the LOCK position. For
vehicles equipped with an automatic
transaxle, it also locks the gear shift lever
in the P (Park) position.
ACC (ACCESSORY)Turning the ignition switch to this
position unlocks the steering wheel and
will allow some of your vehicle’s
electrical accessories such as the radio to
operate when the engine is OFF.ONTurning the ignition switch to this
position allows you to test your vehicle’s
warning lights (except the brake system
warning light) to make sure they work
before you start the engine. The ignition
key returns to the ON position once the
engine is started and remains in this
position while the engine is running.
Do not leave the ignition switch in the
ON position for extended periods with
the engine OFF because the battery will
discharge.
