NOTICE• The power sliding door and power
tailgate can be operated when the
engine is not running. However the
power operation consumes large
amounts of vehicle electric power. To
prevent the battery from being dis-
charged, do not operate them exces-
sively e.g.: more than approximately
10 times repeatedly.
• To prevent the battery from being dis- charged, do not leave the power slid-
ing door and power tailgate at open
position for a long lime.
• Do not apply excessive force while operating the power sliding door or
power tailgate. This could cause dam-
age to the power sliding door or power
tailgate.
• Do not modify or repair any part of the power sliding door or power tail-
gate by yourself. This must be done by
an authorized Kia dealer.
• When jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehicle, do
not operate the power sliding door or
power tailgate. This could cause the
power sliding door or power tailgate
to operate improperly.
Automatic stop and reversalIf the power opening or closing is blocked
by an object or part of the body, the
power sliding door and power tailgate will
detect the resistance, then the chime will
sound 3 times, and stop movement or
move to the full open position to allow the
object to be cleared.
However, if the resistance is weak such
as an object that is thin or soft, or the
door is near latched position, the auto-
matic stop and reversal may not detect
the resistance and closing operation will
continue. Also, if the power sliding door
or power tailgate is forced by strong
impact, the automatic stop and reversal
may operate.
If the automatic stop and reversal feature
operates continuously more than twice
during one opening or closing operation,
the power sliding door or power tailgate
may stop at that position. At this time,
close the doors manually and operate
the door automatically again.

 To raise the seat cushion, pull up the lever several times.
Front seat adjustment - powerThe front seat can be adjusted by using
the control knob on the front door. Before

WARNING
The power seats are operable with
the ignition OFF.
Therefore, children should never be
left unattended in the car.
CAUTION
 Power seats are driven by an electric motor. Stop operatingonce the adjustment is complet-ed. Excessive operation may damage the electrical equipment.
 When in operation, the power seats consume large amounts ofelectrical power. To prevent unnec-essary charging system drain,don’t adjust the power seats longer than necessary while theengine is not running.
 Do not operate two or more power seat control buttons at the sametime. Doing so may result inpower seat motor or electrical component malfunction.

3Setting the adjustable pedal posi-
tion1. Be sure the parking brake is engaged.
2. Move the accelerator and brake ped-
als to the front most position by push-
ing the  portion of the switch.
3. Adjust the seat position and the steer- ing wheel angle properly.
4. Move the pedals toward you until you can fully depress the brake pedal by
pushing the  portion of the switch.
5. Depress the pedals a few times to get used to the feel after adjusting.
Safety belt restraint system We strongly recommend that the driver
and all passengers be properly
restrained at all times by using the safety
belts provided with the vehicle. Proper
use of the safety belts decreases the risk
of severe injury or death in accidents or
sudden stops. In most states, and in
Canada, the law requires their use. All seats have lap/shoulder belts. Inertial
locks in the safety belt retractors allow all
of the lap/shoulder safety belts to remain
unlocked during normal vehicle opera-
tion. This allows the occupants some
freedom of movement and increased
comfort while using the safety belts. If a
force is applied to the vehicle, such as a
strong stop, a sharp turn, or a collision,
the safety belt retractors will automatical-
ly lock the safety belts.
Since the inertial locks do not require a
collision in order to lock up, you may
become aware of the safety belts locking
while braking or going around sharp cor-
ners.
Always use the rear seat position(s) to
install your child restraint(s).
WARNING
- Safety belts
To minimize the risk of serious or
fatal injury in an accident, the driver
and all passengers should use the
appropriate safety restraints for
their age and size. The presence of
air bags does not change the need
to be properly restrained by a safe-
ty belt or size-appropriate child
restraint. In fact, air bags are
designed to work the best when
passengers are correctly restrained
in the vehicle.
 Be sure you are familiar with the
information in this section,
including the information on
infant and child restraints.
 Read the safety warnings on the sun visors of your vehicle also.
WARNING
- Child restraint
in front seat
Never install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger position,
as an inflating air bag could cause
serious or fatal injury to a child in
that position.
WARNING
 Adjust the pedals after parking
the vehicle on level ground. Never
attempt to adjust the pedals while
the vehicle is moving.
 Never adjust the pedals with your foot on the accelerator pedal as
this may result in increasing the
engine speed and acceleration.
 Make sure that you can fully depress the brake pedal before
driving. Otherwise, you may not
be able to hold down the brake
pedal firmly in an emergency
stop.

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.

3Air conditioning All Kia Air Conditioning Systems are
filled with environmentally friendly
R-134a refrigerant which is not damag-
ing to the ozone layer.
1. Start the engine. Push the air condi-
tioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.
3. Set the air intake control to the outside air or recirculated air position.
4. Set the temperature control to the desired position.
5. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
6. Adjust the fan speed control and tem- perature control to maintain maximum
comfort.
 When maximum cooling is desired, set the temperature control to the minimum
LO (17°C/62°F) and set the air intake
to the recirculated air position, then set
the fan speed control to the highest
speed. Air conditioning system operation tips

CAUTION
 When using the air conditioning system, monitor the temperaturegauge closely while driving uphills or in heavy traffic when out- side temperatures are high. Airconditioning system operationmay cause engine overheating. Continue to use the blower fanbut turn the air conditioning sys- tem off if the temperature gaugeindicates engine overheating.
 When opening the windows in humid weather air conditioningmay create water droplets insidethe vehicle. Since excessivewater droplets may cause dam- age to electrical equipment, airconditioning should only be runwith the windows closed.
