To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an
approved de-icer fluid or glycerine into
the key opening. If a lock is covered with
ice, squirt it with an approved de-icing
fluid to remove the ice. If the lock is
frozen internally, you may be able to thaw
it out by using a heated key. Handle the
heated key with care to avoid injury.
Use approved window washer
anti-freeze in system
To keep the water in the window washer
system from freezing, add an approved
window washer anti-freeze solution in
accordance with instructions on the con-
tainer. Window washer anti-freeze is
available from an authorised Kia dealer
and most auto parts outlets. Do not useengine coolant or other types of anti-
freeze as these may damage the paintfinish. Don't let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged position.
This is most likely to happen when there
is an accumulation of snow or ice around
or near the rear brakes or if the brakes
are wet. If there is a risk the parking
brake may freeze, apply it only temporar-
ily whilst you put the shift lever in P (auto-
matic transaxle) or in first or reverse gear
(manual transaxle) and block the rear
wheels so the vehicle cannot roll. Then
release the parking brake.
Don't let ice and snow accumu- late underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and inter-
fere with the steering. When driving in
severe winter conditions where this may
happen, you should periodically check
underneath the vehicle to be sure the
movement of the front wheels and the
steering components is not obstructed.Carry emergency equipment
Depending on the severity of the weath-
er, you should carry appropriate emer-
gency equipment. Some of the items you
may want to carry include tyre chains,
tow straps or chains, flashlight, emer-
gency flares, sand, shovel, jumper
cables, window scraper, gloves, ground
cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.

 Do not take this vehicle through an
automatic car wash whilst the com- pact spare tyre is installed.
 Do not use tyre chains on the com- pact spare tyre. Because of the
smaller size, a tyre chain will not fit
properly. This could damage the
vehicle and result in loss of thechain.
 The compact spare tyre should not be installed on the front axle if the
vehicle must be driven in snow or
on ice.
 Do not use the compact spare tyre on any other vehicle because thistyre has been designed especially
for your vehicle.
 The compact spare tyre’s tread life is shorter than a regular tyre.
Inspect your compact spare tyre
regularly and replace worn com-
pact spare tyres with the same sizeand design, mounted on the samewheel.  The compact spare tyre should not
be used on any other wheels, nor
should standard tyres, snow tyres,
wheel covers or trim rings be used
with the compact spare wheel. Ifsuch use is attempted, damage tothese items or other car compo-
nents may occur.
 Do not use more than one compact spare tyre at a time.
 Do not tow a trailer whilst the com- pact spare tyre is installed.

Changing a tyre with TPMS
If you have a flat tyre, the low Tyre
Pressure and Position telltales will
come on. We recommend that the
system be checked by an authorised
Kia dealer. Each wheel is equipped with a tyre pressure sensor mounted inside the
tyre behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you have your tyres
serviced by an authorised Kia dealer. If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 25 km/h
after replaceing the low pressure tyre
with the spare tyre, one of the follow-ing will happen:
 The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continuous-
ly illuminated because the TPMSsensor is not mounted on the spare
wheel. (changed tyre equipped with
a sensor not in the vehicle)
 The TPMS malfunction indicator will remain continuously illuminated
whilst driving because the TPMSsensor is not mounted on the spare
wheel. (changed tyre equipped with
a sensor in the vehicle)CAUTION
 The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may blink for approximate-ly 1 minute and then remaincontinuously illuminated if thevehicle is moving around elec- tric power supply cables orradios transmitter such as atpolice stations, government and public offices, broadcast-ing stations, military installa-tions, airports, or transmitting towers, etc. This can interferewith normal operation of theTyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
 The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may blink for approximate-ly 1 minute and then remaincontinuously illuminated if snow chains are used or someseparate electronic devicessuch as notebook computer, mobile charger, remote starteror navigation etc., are used inthe vehicle. This can interfere with normal operation of theTyre Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS).
CAUTION
We recommend that you use thesealant approved by Kia.
The sealant on the tyre pressuresensor and wheel shall be elem-inated when you replace the tyre with a new one.
