Air conditioning system operation tips
 If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows for a short time to let the hot
air inside the vehicle escape.
 Use air conditioning to reduce humidi- ty and moisture inside the vehicle on
rainy or humid days.
 During air conditioning system opera- tion, you may occasionally notice aslight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
 Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.  When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, you may notice clear water drip-
ping (or even puddling) on the ground
under the passenger side of the vehi-
cle. This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
 Operating the air conditioning system in the recirculated air position provides
maximum cooling, however, continual
operation in this mode may cause the
air inside the vehicle to become stale.
 During cooling operation, you may occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and humid air
intake. This is a normal system opera-
tion characteristic. Climate control air filter The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust or
other pollutants that come into the vehi-cle from the outside through the heating
and air conditioning system. If dust or
other pollutants accumulate in the filter
over a period of time, the air flow from the
air vents may decrease, resulting in
moisture accumulation on the inside of
the windscreen even when the outside
(fresh) air position is selected. If this hap-
pens, we recommend that the climate
control air filter be replaced by an autho-
rised Kia dealer.

- Heating:- Cooling:
3. Set the temperature control to the desired position.
4. Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position.
5. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
6. If air conditioning is desired, turn the air conditioning system on.
Press the AUTO button in order to con-
vert to full automatic control of the sys-tem.
Mode selection
The mode selection button controls the direction of the airflow in the vehicle.

How car audio works
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around your
city. They are intercepted by the radio anten-
na on your car. This signal is then received
by the radio and sent to your car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best pos-
sible quality reproduction. However, in
some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear. This
can be due to factors such as the dis-
tance from the radio station, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the pres-
ence of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area.AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequencies. These
long, low frequency radio waves can fol-
low the curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight out into the atmos-
phere. In addition, they curve around
obstructions so that they can provide bet-
ter signal coverage.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's surface. Because of this, FM
broadcasts generally begin to fade at
short distances from the station. Also,
FM signals are easily affected by build-
ings, mountains, or other obstructions.
These can result in certain listening con-
ditions which might lead you to believe a
problem exists with your radio. The fol-
lowing conditions are normal and do not
indicate radio trouble:

USING YOUR USB DEVICE
 To use an external USB device,
make sure the device is not connect-
ed when starting up the vehicle.
Connect the device after starting up.
 If you start the engine when the USB device is connected, it may damage
the USB device. (USB flashdrives
are very sensitive to electric shock.)
 If the engine is started up or turned off whilst the external USB device is
connected, the external USB device
may not work.
 It may not play inauthentic MP3 or WMA files.
1) It can only play MP3 files with the compression rate between
8Kbps~320Kbps.
2) It can only play WMA music files with the compression rate
between 8Kbps~320Kbps.
 Take precautions for static electricity when connecting or disconnecting the
external USB device.
 An encrypted MP3 PLAYER is not recognizable.  Depending on the condition of the
external USB device, the connected
external USB device can be unrec-
ognizable.
 When the formatted byte/sector set- ting of External USB device is noteither 512BYTE or 2048BYTE, then
the device will not be recognized.
 Use only a USB device formatted to FAT 12/16/32.

USB devices without USB I/F authentica-
tion may not be recognizable.
 Make sure the USB connection termi- nal does not come in contact with the
human body or other objects.
 If you repeatedly connect or discon- nect the USB device in a short peri-
od of time, it may break the device.
 You may hear a strange noise when connecting or disconnecting a USB
device.
 If you disconnect the external USB device during playback in USB mode,
the external USB device can be dam-
aged or may malfunction. Therefore,
disconnect the external USB device
when the audio is turned off or in
another mode. (e.g, Radio, CD)
 Depending on the type and capacity ofthe external USB device or the type of
the files stored in the device, there is a
difference in the time taken for recogni-
tion of the device.
 Do not use the USB device for purposes other than playing music files.
 Playing videos through the USB is not supported.
 Use of USB accessories such as rechargers or heaters using USB I/F
may lower performance or cause
trouble.
 If you use devices such as a USB hub purchased separately, the vehi-
cle’s audio system may not recog-
nize the USB device. In that case,
connect the USB device directly to
the multimedia terminal of the vehi-
cle.
 If the USB device is divided by logi- cal drives, only the music files on the
highest-priority drive are recognized
by car audio.
 Devices such as MP3 Player/ Cellular phone/Digital camera can be
unrecognizable by standard USB I/F
can be unrecognizable.
