 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.

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

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.

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.
