Repairing or scrapping the vehi-
cles Repairing steering wheel, instru-
ment panel, center console or
roofs, or installing car audio around
center console or painting front
metal sheet could disable the air
bag system. Have them checked
by an authorized Kia dealer.
When leaving the vehicle at an
authorized Kia dealer, inform the
facility that the vehicle is equipped
with air bag system, and leave the
owner’ s manual in the vehicle.
Since air bag system contains
explosive chemical substances,
contact an authorized Kia dealer
when scrapping the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not modify any part of the
Supplemental Restraint System.Modification could make the airbag system ineffective or couldcause unnecessary deploy-ment.
WARNING
Do not modify your steering wheel, seat or any other part
of the Supplemental Restraint
System. Modification could
make the system inoperable.
Do not work on the system’s components or wiring. This
could cause the air bags to
inflate inadvertently, possibly
seriously injuring someone.
Working on the system could
also disable the system so
that the air bags would not
deploy in a collision.
Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing,
repairing, or any work on the
steering wheel must be per-
formed by a qualified Kia tech-
nician. Improper handling of
the air bag system may result
in serious personal injury or
death.

How car audio worksAM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your car.
This signal is then received by the
radio and sent to your car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise
engineering of your audio system
ensures the best possible quality
reproduction.However, in some cases the signal
coming to your vehicle may not be
strong and clear. This can be due to
factors such as the distance from the
radio station, closeness of other
strong radio stations or the presence
of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area.
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broad-
casts. This is because AM radio
waves are transmitted at low fre-
quencies. These long, low frequency
radio waves can follow the curvature
of the earth rather than travelling
straight out into the atmosphere. In
addition, they curve around obstruc-
tions so that they can provide better
signal coverage.AUDIO SYSTEM

Using a cellular phone or a
two-way radio When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio equipment. This does
not mean that something is wrong
with the audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a
place as far as possible from the
audio equipment.
Care of cassette tapes
(if equipped) Because the thickness of a sette tape with the total playback
time of over 60 minutes (C-60) are
too thin, we suggest that you do
not use any of them to avoid hav-
ing tapes being tangled.
To achieve better sound qu periodically clean the tape head
using a cotton stick with colorless
alcohol (once per month).
If a tape is too loose, fasten reel by winding with objects like a
pencil.
Because dust or foreign objec a cassette tape may damage the
playback head, always store tapes
in their cases when not in use.
Make sure cassette tapes are away from magnetic devices (TV,
stereo system, etc) in order to
achieve better sound quality.
Be certain that no objects or stances other than cassette tapes
are inserted into the cassette tape
player. Because tape media can be
torted when exposed to direct sun-
light, Do not leave cassette tapes
on the seats, dashboard or near
the back windshield.
WARNING -
Cellular
phones
Don’t use a cellular phone when
you are driving. The driver must
stop at a safe place to use a cel-
lular phone.

Care of disc (if equipped) If the temperature inside the car is
too high, open the car windows for
ventilation before using your car
audio.
It is illegal to copy and use MP3/WMA/AAC/WAVE files with-
out permission (If equipped with
M465, use only MP3/WMA, if
equipped with M445, use only CD-
DA). Use CDs that are created only
by lawful means.
Do not apply volatile agents such as benzene and thinner, normal
cleaners and magnetic sprays
made for analogue disc onto CDs.
To prevent the disc surface from getting damaged. Hold and carry
CDs by the edges or the edges of
the center hole only.
Clean the disc surface with a piece of soft cloth before playback (wipe
it from the center to the outside
edge).
Do not damage the disc surface or attach pieces of sticky tape or
paper onto it. Make sure on undesirable matter
other than CDs are inserted into
the CD player (Do not insert more
than one CD at a time).
Keep CDs in their cases after use to protect them from scratches or
dirt.
Depending on the type of CD- R/CD-RW CDs, certain CDs may
not operate normally according to
manufacturing companies or mak-
ing and recording methods. In such
circumstances, if you still continue
to use those CDs, they may cause
the malfunction of your car audio
system.
✽ ✽ NOTICE -
Playing an
Incompatible Copy-Protected
Audio CD
Some copy-protected CDs, which do
not comply with the international
audio CD standards (Red Book),
may not play on your car audio.
Please note that if you try to play
copy protected CDs and the CD
player of your car audio is not per-
forming to your expectation, this
may be caused by those CDs and not
a defect in the device itself. Please
replace those CDs.
