SIDE AIRBAG (IF EQUIPPED)Your vehicle is equipped with a side
airbag in each front seat. The purpose of
the airbag is to provide the vehicle’s
driver and/or the front passenger with
additional protection other than that
offered by the seatbelt alone. The side
impact airbags are designed to deploy
only during certain side-impact collisions,
depending on the crash severity, angle,
speed and point of impact. The air bags
are not designed to deploy in all side
impact situations.

sensor
MMSA3040
WARNING
For best protection from the
side airbag system and to
avoid being injuried by the
deploying side airbag, both
front seat occupants should
sit in an upright position with
the seat belt properly
fastened. The driver’s hands
should be placed on the
steering wheel at the 9:00
and 3:00 o’clock positions.
The passenger’s arms and
hands should be placed in
their laps.
Do not use any accessory seat
covers.
Use of seat covers could
reduce the effectiveness of
the system.
Do not install any
accessories on the side or
near the side airbag.

• To remove the cap, turn it coun
terclockwise.
• To install the cap, turn it clock wise
until it “clicks”.
This indicates that the cap is securely
tightened.The fuel filler neck is designed to
prevent filling the fuel tank with
anything but unleaded fuel.
Always insure that the
engine is OFF before and
during refueling. Once
refueling is complete, check
to make sure the fuel filler
cap and door are securely
closed, before starting the
engine.
Do not light any fire around a
gas station. DO NOT use
matches or a lighter and DO
NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while
at a gas station especially
during refueling. Automotive
fuel is highly flammable and
can, when ignited, result in
explosion by flames.
If a fire breaks out during
refueling, leave the vicinity of
the vehicle, and immediately
contact the manager of the
gas station or contact the
police and local fire
department. Follow any
safety instructions they
provide.
✻
NOTICE
A loose fuel filler cap may cause the
OBD-II Malfunction Indicator
Light ( ) light in the instrument
panel to illuminate unnecessarily.
Always ensure that the fuel filler
cap is tight.
CHECK
✻
NOTICE
If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use only a genuine
Kia cap. An incorrect fuel filler cap
can result in a serious malfunction
of the fuel system or emission
control system. Correct
replacement caps are available at
Authorized Kia Dealers.

DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
4-44TEMPERATURE CONTROL
KNOBThe temperature control knob (C) is the
round knob closest to the passenger side
of the ventilation control panel. To
change the air temperature in the
passenger compartment, turn the knob
either clockwise for warm to hot air or
counterclockwise for cooler air.
AIR INTAKE
CONTROL SWITCHThis is used to select fresh outside air or
recirculation inside air.
RECIRCULATED AIR
POSITION When the air intake control
switch is depressed (switch indicator
illuminates), almost all outside air flow
into the vehicle is shut off and air inside
the vehicle is recirculated.
This position can be used temporarily for
maximum heating or cooling (if
equipped with air conditioning ) and to
help prevent undesirable outside air flow
into the vehicle.
WARNING
• Continued climate control
system operation in the
recirculated air position may
allow humidity to increase
inside the vehicle which may
fog the glass and obscure
visibility.
Don’t sleep in a vehicle with
the air conditioning system
on. This could cause serious
harm or death to passengers
due to the depletion of
oxygen and lowering of body
temperature.

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.
