D140102AUN
Electric chromic mirror (ECM) (if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automatical-
ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the car behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensor
mounted in the mirror senses the light
level around the vehicle, and automati-
cally controls the headlight glare from
vehicles behind you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle.

Be sure to adjust mirror angles before
driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both left-

mine the actual distance of fol-
lowing vehicles when changing
lanes.
CAUTION
Do not scrape ice off the mirrorface; this may damage the surfaceof the glass. If ice should restrict movement of the mirror, do notforce the mirror for adjustment. Toremove ice, use a deicer spray, or a sponge or soft cloth with very warmwater.

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.
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 (----).Distance to empty
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, “----” will be displayed and the dis-
tance to empty indicator will blink.
The meter’s working range is from 50 to
999 km.ECO ON/OFF mode (if equipped)

Anti-lock brake system(ABS) warning light (if equipped)
This light illuminates if the ignition switch
is turned to ON and goes off in approxi-
mately 3 seconds if the system is operat-
ing normally.
If the ABS warning light remains on,
comes on while driving, or does not come
on when the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position, this indicates that there
may be a malfunction with the ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized KIA dealer as soon as
possible. The normal braking system will
still be operational, but without the assis-
tance of the anti-lock brake system. Electronic brake force distri-
bution (EBD) system warning
light
If these two warning shown
lights illuminate at the same
time while driving, your vehi-
cle may have a malfunction
with ABS and EBD system.
In this case, your ABS and regular brake
system may not work normally. Have the
vehicle checked by an authorized KIA
dealer as soon as possible.

warning light will blink for approximately
6 seconds each time you turn the ignition
switch ON regardless of belt fastening.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition switch is turned ON,
the seat belt warning light and chime will
operate for approximately 6 seconds. The

ation, the warning light will go off after 6
seconds on and the chime will stop at
once. The warning light and chime will
stop at once if the seat belt is fastened.
WARNING
If the both ABS and Brake warning
lights are on and stay on, your vehi-
cle’s brake system will not work
normally. So you may experience
an unexpected and dangerous situ-
ation during sudden braking. In this
case, avoid high speed driving and
abrupt braking. Have your vehicle
checked by an authorized KIA deal-
er as soon as possible.
