Installing a child restraint system For safety reasons, we recommend that
the child restraint system be used in the
rear seats.
Since all passenger safety belts move
freely under normal conditions and only
lock under extreme or emergency condi-
tions (emergency lock mode), you must
manually change these safety belts to
the auto lock mode to secure a child
restraint.
WARNING
- Child seat
installation
 Before installing the childrestraint system, read the instruc-
tions supplied by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
 If the safety belt does not operate as described in this section, have
the system checked immediately
by your authorized Kia dealer.
 Failure to observe this manual's instructions regarding child
restraint system and the instruc-
tions provided with the child
restraint system could increase
the chance and/or severity of
injury in an accident.
WARNING
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger
seat, because of the danger that an
inflating passenger side air bag
could impact the rear-facing child
restraint and kill the child.
(Continued)
 Never allow a child to stand up orkneel while the vehicle is moving.
 Never use an infant carrier or child seat that "hooks" over a
seatback. It will not provide ade-
quate protection in an accident.
 Never allow a child to be held while they are in a moving vehi-
cle, as this could result in serious
injury to the child in the event of
an accident or a sudden stop.
Holding a child in a moving vehi-
cle does not provide the child
with any protection during an
accident, even if the person hold-
ing the child is wearing a seat
belt.

3Calibration procedureThe compass may not indicate the cor-
rect compass direction when you are dri-
ving in certain areas (tunnel, parking
garage, underground parking lot, near
transformer substation, etc.), and the fol-
lowing may occur:
 The compass headings become inac-
curate.
 The compass heading doesn't change when the vehicle changes direction.
 Some compass headings are not dis- played.
 The compass headings are inaccurate in long distance driving.
If the vehicle's compass headings
become inaccurate continuously, the
compass should be manually calibrated
as follows: 1. Move the vehicle away from any large
steel structures or power generating
cables or equipment.
2. Check the terrestrial deviation angle value by pressing and holding the
MODE button for 4.5 seconds until the
current terrestrial deviation angle
value appears in the display.
3. If the terrestrial deviation angle value is different for your country, set the cor-
rect angle referring to “Setting the
compass zone” and perform the
“Calibration procedure” again.
4. Make sure the vehicle windshield wipers are turned off. 5. Press and hold the MODE button
again for 2~4.5 seconds until the “turn”
appears and “DIR” blinks in the display
and release the button.
6. Drive your vehicle in at least 1 com- plete (either clockwise or counter-
clockwise) circle at less than 5 km/h (3
mph) within 10 minutes until the com-
pass heading appears.
7. If the vehicle’s compass headings become inaccurate again, repeat
steps 1 through 6 above.
✽ ✽NOTICEIf you press the MODE button before
the calibration is completed or the vehi-
cle is not rotated within 10 minutes after
“turn” appears and “DIR” blinks, the
correction will be cancelled.

Setting the compass zoneThis compass must be set to compen-
sate for the variation between true north
and magnetic north. To set variation:
1. Find your current location and terres-trial deviation angle value on the zone
map.
2. Press and hold the MODE button for 4.5 seconds. The current terrestrial
deviation angle value will appear in the
display. 3. Release the MODE button and press
the RESET button repeatedly until the
correct terrestrial deviation angle value
for your location appears in the display.
4. Press and hold the MODE button for more than 1 second, and then the dis-
play will show a compass direction.
✽ ✽NOTICEIf you press the MODE button for less
than 1 second before new compass zone
is set, the correction is cancelled.
Also, if the correction is not completed
within 30 seconds, the current terrestri-
al deviation angle value will blink for 2
seconds and the correction is cancelled.
✽ ✽NOTICE1. Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc.
that is attached to the vehicle using a
magnet as anything attached to the
roof of the vehicle with a magnet will
effect compass operation.
2. If the compass deviates from the cor- rect indication after repeated adjust-
ment, have the compass checked at an
authorized dealer.
3. The compass may not indicate the correct compass point in tunnels or
while driving up or down a steep hill.
(The compass returns to the correct
compass point when the vehicle moves
to an area where the geomagnetism is
stabilized.)

Features of your vehicle
Distance to empty (“RANGE”
shown on display)This mode indicates the estimated dis-
tance to empty based on the current fuel
in the fuel tank and the amount of fuel
delivered to the engine. When the
remaining distance is below 50 km (30
miles), a blinking “----” symbol will be dis-
played.
The meter’s working range is from 50 to
1500 km (30 to 1500 miles).
✽ ✽NOTICE• If the vehicle is not on level ground or
the battery power has been interrupt-
ed, the “Distance to empty” function
may not operate correctly.
The trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 6 liters (1.6
gallons) of fuel are added to the vehi-
cle.
• The fuel consumption and distance to empty values may vary significantly
based on driving conditions, driving
habits, and condition of the vehicle.
• The distance to empty value is an esti- mate of the available driving distance.
This value may differ from the actual
driving distance available.
Driving time (“ET” shown on dis-
play)This mode indicates the total time trav-
eled since the last driving time reset.
Even if the vehicle is not in motion, the
driving time keeps going while the engine
is running.
The meter’s working range is from
0:00~99:59.
Pressing the RESET button for less than
4 seconds, when the driving time is being
displayed, clears the driving time to zero.

3Average fuel consumption (“AVG”
shown on display)This mode calculates the average fuel
consumption from the total fuel used and
the distance since the last average con-
sumption reset. The total fuel used is cal-
culated from the fuel consumption input.
For an accurate calculation, drive more
than 500 m (0.3 miles).
The meter's working range is from 0.0 to
99.9 l/100 km (0.0 to 99.9 miles per gal-
lon).
Pressing the RESET button for less than
4 seconds, when the average fuel con-
sumption is being displayed, clears the
average fuel consumption to “- -” until the
vehicle is moved to 500 m (0.3 miles).
Outside temperatureThis mode indicates the outside temper-
ature around the vehicle.
The meter’s working range is from
-40°C to 60°C (-40°F~140°F).
Unit conversionThe unit on each mode can be changed
by pushing the RESET button for more
than 4 seconds as follows:
 Distance to empty: km ↔ MI
 Average fuel consumption: l/100km ↔
MPG
 Outside temperature: °C ↔ °F
The units on the mode of distance to
empty and average fuel consumption are
changed together. However, the outside
temperature mode display units are
changed separately.

3Air conditioning system operation tips
 If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows for a short time to let the hot
air inside the vehicle escape.
 To help reduce moisture inside of win- dows on rainy humid days, decrease
the humidity inside the vehicle by oper-
ating the air conditioning system.
 During air conditioning system opera- tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles on.
This is a normal system operation
characteristics.
 Use the air conditioning system every month if only for a few minutes to
ensure maximum system perfor-
mance.
 When using the air conditioning sys- tem, you may notice clear water drip-
ping (or even puddling) on the ground
under the passenger side of the vehi-
cle. This is a normal system operation
characteristics.
 Operating the air conditioning system in the recirculated air position does
provide maximum cooling, however,
continual operation in this mode may
cause the air inside the vehicle to
become stale.
Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and compres-
sor lubricantWhen the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has a bad influ-
ence on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
The air conditioning system shouldbe serviced by an authorized Kia dealer. Improper service may causeserious injury.
CAUTION
When the performance of the air conditioning system is reduced it isimportant that the correct type and amount of oil and refrigerant isused. Otherwise, damage to the compressor and abnormal systemoperation may occur.
