allowing rear-seat passengers to play
DVD movies, video CDs or music CDs.
Users may also plug in a game platform or
VHS player. Headphones, game car-
tridges and other accessories can be kept
neatly out of the way in the 3rd-row arm-
rest compartment.

Using the Remote Control
In addition to having all the buttons and
functionality listed in the DVD and CD
Controls section, the remote control has
several other buttons that offer additional
functions. It is an infrared remote control,
and must be pointed at the face of the
RSE at a 45° angle for best results. It
requires a CR2025 battery (included).
The remote control has the following
additional buttons:
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The RSE system is always “awake”
when the vehicle's ignition is turned on
or when the vehicle is in “accessory
power mode.”
1. Stop
Pressing this button once will stop DVD
or CD play. To eject a disc, you must use
the eject button on the control panel.
2. Speaker Volume “+” and “-”
These buttons control the volume of the
audio of a DVD or CD through the vehicle
speakers, not the volume from head-
phones. Press “+” to turn the volume up
and “-” to turn the volume down.
3. Play/Pause
When an audio CD(VCD/DVD) is insert-
ed, the RSE will display the KIA logo,
then automatically begin playing the first
track. The track number and time elapsed
for the current track is displayed.
If a CD(VCD/DVD) is loaded and playing,
press the PLAY/PAUSE( ) button to
pause the CD(VCD/DVD). Press the but-
ton again to resume play.
If a CD(VCD/DVD) is already loaded, stop-
ping and playing the CD(VCD/ DVD) by
pressing PLAY/PAUSE( ) button on
the remote control; cycling the ignition and
pressing play; or changing the source will
cause the CD(VCD/DVD) to begin playing
at the point where it was stopped during
the previous play. The player will automati-
cally play this previous play position unless
the STOP/EJECT( ) button is pressed.
At the end of the CD(VCD/DVD), the
player will automatically return to the first
track and continue playing.
4. Display
When the player is in DVD mode, press the
DISP button to view the DVD title, chapter
number and elapsed time and other infor-
mation about the DVD currently playing. It will also display brightness. There are
“Day Time” brightness with brightest level
and “Night Time” brightness which has 70%
level of “Day Time” brightness. Adjust the
level of brightness by pressing the
REV(dimmer) or FWD(brighter) buttons.
The next time the player is turned on, it will
return to the brightness level it was adjusted
to when last used.
The RSE unit has two presets of display
brightness. When the headlamp is turned
on, the display brightness level will be
dimmed as the preset. However, when the
headlamp is turned off, the display bright-
ness will return to the daytime brightness.
Press DISP to adjust the image format. The
image format, also known as the aspect
ratio, is a ratio of the height to width of the
image on the screen. For example, a 4:3
ratio would mean an image that is 4 units by
3 units. You have two options: 4:3 (normal)
and 16:9 (widescreen). Press the display
button to select the preferred aspect ratio.
When the RSE unit receives video signals
from the AUX, the aspect ratio can be
changed to 16:9 or 4:3 by the DISP button.
The aspect ratio information will auto-
matically disappear if no button is
pressed for three seconds.

Even with the anti-lock brake system,
your vehicle still requires sufficient
stopping distance. Always maintain a
safe distance from the vehicle in front
of you.
Always slow down when cornering. The anti-lock brake system cannot pre-
vent accidents resulting from exces-
sive speeds.
On loose or uneven road surfaces, operation of the anti-lock brake system
may result in a longer stopping dis-
tance than for vehicles equipped with a
conventional brake system.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the engine
may not run as smoothly and the ABS
warning light may turn on at the same
time. This happens because of the low
battery voltage. It does not mean your
ABS is malfunctioning.
• Do not pump your brakes!
• Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
W-78
CAUTION
If the ABS warning light is on and
stays on, you may have a problemwith the ABS. In this case, howev-er, your regular brakes will worknormally.
The ABS warning light will stay on for approximately 3 seconds afterthe ignition switch is ON. Duringthat time, the ABS will go throughself-diagnosis and the light will gooff if everything is normal. If thelight stays on, you may have aproblem with your ABS. Contactan authorized Kia dealer as soonas possible.
CAUTION
When you drive on a road having poor traction, such as an icy road,and operate your brakes continu- ously, the ABS will be active con-tinuously and the ABS warning light may illuminate. Pull your carover to a safe place and stop the engine.
Restart the engine. If the ABS warning light is off, then yourABS system is normal. Otherwise, you may have a prob-lem with the ABS. Contact an authorized Kia dealer as soon aspossible.

We recommend that you carry emer-
gency equipment, including a window
scraper, windshield de-icer, a bag of
sand or salt, flares, a small shovel and
jumper cables.
Make sure you have sufficient ethyl- ene-glycol coolant in the radiator.
Check the battery condition and cables. Cold temperatures reduce the
capacity of any battery, so it must be in
excellent condition to provide enough
winter starting power.
Make sure the engine oil viscosity is suitable for cold weather.
Check the ignition system for loose connections and damage.
Use antifreeze-formulated windshield washer fluid. (Do not use engine
coolant antifreeze.)
Do not use the parking brake if it might freeze. When parking, shift to P (Park)
with an automatic transaxle and block
the rear wheels.Snow tires
If you mount snow tires on your Kia,
make sure they are radial tires of the
same size and load range as the original
tires. Mount snow tires on all four wheels
to balance your vehicle’s handling in all
weather conditions. Keep in mind that the
traction provided by snow tires on dry
roads may not be as high as your vehi-
cle's original equipment tires. You should
drive cautiously even when the roads are
clear. Check with the tire dealer for max-
imum speed recommendations.
Do not install studded tires without firstchecking local, state and municipal regu-lations for possible restrictions againsttheir use.
WINTER DRIVING
WARNING- Snow tire size
Snow tires should be equivalent in
size and type to the vehicle's stan-
dard tires. Otherwise, the safety and
handling of your vehicle may be
adversely affected.
TRAILER TOWING
WARNING- Towing a trail- er
If you don't use the correct equip-
ment and drive improperly, you can
lose control when you pull a trailer.
For example, if the trailer is too
heavy, the brakes may not work well
- or even at all. You and your pas-
sengers could be seriously or fatal-
ly injured. Pull a trailer only if you
have followed all the steps in this
section.
WARNING- Weight limits
Before towing, make sure the total
trailer weight, gross combination
weight, gross vehicle weight, gross
axle weight and trailer tongue load
are all within the limits.
