Trip computer (if equipped)
The trip computer is a microcomputer-
controlled driver information system that
displays information related to driving,
including distance to empty, tripmeter,
average fuel consumption, driving time
and average speed on the display when
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
All stored driving information (except
odometer) is reset if the battery is dis-
connected. The odometer is always dis-
played until the display is turned off. Push the TRIP button for less than 1 sec-
ond to select distance to empty, average
fuel consumption, average speed or trip-

Tripmeter (km or miles)
This mode indicates the distance of indi-
vidual trip since the last tripmeter reset.
The meter's working range is from 0.0 to
999.9 km (miles).
Pressing the TRIP button for more than 1
second when the tripmeter is being dis-
played clears the tripmeter to zero (0.0).Distance to empty (km or miles)
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 30 miles (50
km), “----” will be displayed and the dis-
tance to empty indicator will blink.
The meter’s working range is from 0 to
1500 km (0 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.
Average fuel consumption
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 50 m (0.03 mile).
The meter's working range is from 0.1 to
99.9 l/100 km (0.1 to 99.9 MPG).
Pressing the TRIP button for more than 1
second, when the average fuel consump-
tion is being displayed, clears the aver-
age fuel consumption to zero (---). Instantaneous fuel consumption
(if equipped)
This mode calculates the instantaneous
fuel consumption from used fuel and the
distance. The meter's working range is
from 0.0 to 20.0l
/100km (0.0 to
60.0l/MPG).
Display is updated at 0.1 seconds.
The value display if speed is over 10
km/h (6 mph).
When the instantaneous fuel consump-
tion mode is displayed on the LCD moni-
tor, the ECO indicator turns off.

To turn the ECO indicator OFF/ON
• Type A
Select the ECO mode by pressing the
TRIP button for less than 1 second.
Then, press the TRIP button for more
than 1 second.
• Type B
When the instantaneous fuel consump-
tion mode is displayed on the LCD moni-
tor or the system is not working properly,
the indicator turns off.
If the indicator turns off when the instan-
taneousant fuel consumption mode is not
selected, have the system checked by an
authorized KIA dealer as soon as possi-
ble.

Warnings and indicators
All warning lights are checked by turning
the ignition switch ON (do not start the
engine). Any light that does not illuminate
should be checked by an authorized KIA
dealer.
After starting the engine, check to make
sure that all warning lights are off. If any
are still on, this indicates a situation that
needs attention. When releasing the
parking brake, the brake system warning
light should go off. The fuel warning light
will stay on if the fuel level is low.
D150302AUN
Air bag warning light
This warning light will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds each time you
turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion.
This light also comes on when the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is
not working properly. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not come on, or
continuously remains on after operating
for about 6 seconds when you turned the
ignition switch to the ON position or start-
ed the engine, or if it comes on while
driving, have the SRS inspected by an
authorized KIA dealer.

ECO indicator (if equipped)
The ECO indicator light assists you to
drive in the most economical way.
The green indicator comes on when you
drive with high fuel efficiency.
To turn the ECO indicator OFF/ON
with trip computer (Type A)
Select the ECO mode by pressing the
TRIP button for less than 1 second.
Then, press the TRIP button for more
than 1 second.

When the instantaneous fuel consump-
tion mode is displayed on the LCD moni-
tor or the system is not working properly,
the indicator turns off.
If the indicator turns off when the instan-
taneousant fuel consumption mode is not
selected, have the system checked by an
authorized KIA dealer as soon as possi-
ble. The fuel efficiency depends on driver's
driving habit and road condition.
The system stops operation when the
transaxle is in the P,R,N position or
sports mode, or instantaneous fuel con-
sumption mode is selected.

The hazard warning flasher should be
used whenever you find it necessary to
stop the car in a hazardous location.
When you must make such an emer-
gency stop, always pull off the road as far
as possible.
The hazard warning lights are turned on
by pushing in the hazard switch. This
causes all turn signal lights to blink. The
hazard warning lights will operate even
though the key is not in the ignition
switch.
To turn the hazard warning lights off,
push the switch a second time.

Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where you
drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how many
kilometers (miles) you can get from a
liter (gallon) of fuel. To operate your vehi-
cle as economically as possible, use the
following driving suggestions to help
save money in both fuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moder-
ate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts
or full-throttle shifts and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Don't race
between stoplights. Try to adjust your
speed to that of the other traffic so you
don't have to change speeds unneces-
sarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever
possible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you can
avoid unnecessary braking. This also
reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses.
Driving at a moderate speed, especial-
ly on the highway, is one of the most
effective ways to reduce fuel consump-
tion. Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.
This can increase fuel consumption
and also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In addition, driving with your
foot resting on the brake pedal may
cause the brakes to overheat, which
reduces their effectiveness and may
lead to more serious consequences.
Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure.
Incorrect inflation, either too much or
too little, results in unnecessary tire
wear. Check the tire pressures at least
once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment can
result from hitting curbs or driving too
fast over irregular surfaces. Poor align-
ment causes faster tire wear and may
also result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption.
Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced
maintenance costs, maintain your car
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in Section 7. If you drive your
car in severe conditions, more frequent
maintenance is required (see Section
7 for details). Keep your car clean. For maximum
service, your vehicle should be kept
clean and free of corrosive materials. It
is especially important that mud, dirt,
ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate
on the underside of the car. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel con-
sumption and also contribute to corro-
sion.
Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel
economy.
Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting (and not
in traffic), turn off your engine and
restart only when you're ready to go.
Remember, your vehicle does not require extended warm-up. After the
engine has started, allow the engine to
run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to plac-
ing the vehicle in gear. In very cold
weather, however, give your engine a
slightly longer warm-up period.
Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too
high a gear resulting in the engine
bucking. If this happens, shift to a lower
gear. Over-revving is racing the engine
beyond its safe limit. This can be avoid-
ed by shifting at the recommended
speeds.
