Vehicle stability management (VSM) (if equipped)
This system provides further enhance-
ments to vehicle stability and steering
responses when a vehicle is driving on a
slippery road or a vehicle detected
changes in coefficient of friction between
right wheels and left wheels when brak-ing.
VSM operation
When the vehicle stability management
is operating properly, you can feel a slight
pulsation in the vehicle and/or abnormal
steering responses (EPS). This is only
the effect of brake and EPS control and
indicates nothing unusual.
The VSM does not operate when:
Driving on bank road such as gradient
or incline
Driving rearward
ESP OFF indicator light ( ) remains on the instrument cluster
EPS indicator light remains on the instrument cluster
VSM operation off
If you press the ESP OFF button to turn
off the ESP, the VSM will also cancel and
the ESP OFF indicator light ( ) illumi-
nates.
To turn on the VSM, press the button
again. The ESP OFF indicator light goesout.
Malfunction indicator
The VSM can be deactivated even if you
don’t cancel the VSM operation by press-
ing the ESP OFF button. It indicates thata malfunction has been detected some-
where in the Electric Power Steering sys-
tem or VSM system. If the ESP indicator
light ( ) or EPS warning light remains
on, take your vehicle to an authorized
KIA dealer and have the system
checked.
✽✽ NOTICE

Driving your vehicle
The cruise control system allows you to
program the vehicle to maintain a con-stant speed without pressing the acceler-ator pedal. This system is designed to function
above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).✽✽NOTICE
During normal cruise control operation,
when the SET switch is activated or
reactivated after applying the brakes,
the cruise control will energize after
approximately 3 seconds. This delay isnormal.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
If the cruise control is left on, (CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster illuminated)
the cruise control can be
switched on accidentally. Keep
the cruise control system off
(CRUISE indicator light OFF)
when the cruise control is not in
use, to avoid inadvertently set-ting a speed.
Use the cruise control system only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not use the cruise controlwhen it may not be safe to keep
the car at a constant speed, for
instance, driving in heavy or
varying traffic, or on slippery
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or
winding roads or over 6% up-hill
or down-hill roads.
Pay particular attention to the driving conditions whenever
using the cruise control system.
CAUTION
During cruise-speed driving of a
manual transaxle vehicle, do notshift into neutral without depress- ing the clutch pedal, since theengine will be overrevved. If this
happens, depress the clutch pedal or release the cruise control ON-OFF switch.

To set cruise control speed:
1. Push the CRUISE ON-OFF button on
the steering wheel, to turn the system
on. The CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster will illuminate.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 40 km/h (25 mph).
✽
✽ NOTICE - Manual transaxle (if equipped)
For manual transaxle vehicles, you
should depress the brake pedal at least
once to set the cruise control after start-ing the engine.
3. Push the SET - switch, and release it at
the desired speed. The SET indicator
light in the instrument cluster will illumi-
nate. Release the accelerator at the
same time. The desired speed will auto-matically be maintained.
On a steep grade, the vehicle may slow
down or speed up slightly while goingdownhill.
To increase cruise control set speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Push the RES+ switch and hold it. Your vehicle will accelerate. Release the
switch at the speed you want.
Push the RES+ switch and release it immediately. The cruising speed will
increase by 2.0 km/h (1.2 mph) -Diesel engine each time the RES+
switch is operated in this manner.

Each of these actions will cancel cruise
control operation (the SET indicator lightin the instrument cluster will go off), but itwill not turn the system off. If you wish to
resume cruise control operation, pushthe RES+ switch located on your steeringwheel. You will return to your previously
preset speed.
To resume cruising speed at
more than approximately 40 km/h(25 mph):
If any method other than the CRUISE
ON-OFF switch was used to cancel
cruising speed and the system is still
activated, the most recent set speed willautomatically resume when the RES+
switch is pushed.
It will not resume, however, if the vehicle
speed has dropped below approximately40 km/h (25 mph). To turn cruise control off, do one
of the following:
Push the CRUISE ON-OFF button (the
CRUISE indicator light in the instru- ment cluster will go off).
Turn the ignition off.
Both of these actions cancel cruise con- trol operation. If you want to resume cruise control operation, repeat the stepsprovided in “To set cruise control speed” on the previous page.

Driving your vehicle
You can set the speed limit when you
don’t want to drive over a specific speed.
If you drive over the preset speed limit,
the warning system operates (set speed
limit will blink and chime will sound) until
the vehicle speed returns within thespeed limit.
✽✽NOTICE
While speed limit control in operation,
the cruise control system cannot be acti-vated.
To set speed limit :
1. Push the speed limit ON-OFF button on the steering wheel, to turn the sys-
tem on. The speed limit indicator light
in the instrument cluster will illuminate. 2. Push the RES+ or SET- switch, and
release it at the desired speed.
The set speed limit will display on the instrument cluster.
If you would like to drive over the preset
speed limit when you depress the accel-
erator pedal less than approximately
50%, the vehicle speed will maintainwithin speed limit.
However if you depress the accelerator
pedal more than approximately 70%, you
can drive over the speed limit. Then the
set speed limit will blink and chime will
sound until return the vehicle speed with-in speed limit.
