Driving your vehicle

For smooth operation, depress the brake
pedal when shifting from N (Neutral) to aforward or reverse gear.
When stopped on an upgrade, do not
hold the vehicle with engine power. Use
the service brake or the parking brake.
Transaxle ranges
The indicator light in the instrument clus-
ter displays the shift lever position when
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into P (Park). This position locks
the transaxle and prevents the front
wheels from rotating.
Shifting into P (Park) while the vehicle is
in motion will cause the drive wheels to
lock which will cause you to lose control
of the vehicle.
WARNING - Automatic
transaxle
Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always make sure the shift lever is
in the P (Park) position; then set the
parking brake fully and shut the
engine off. Do not use the P posi-
tion in place of the parking brake.
Always make sure the shift lever is
latched in the P position and set the
parking brake fully. Unexpected
and sudden vehicle movement can
occur if these precautions are not
followed.
CAUTION - Transaxle
To avoid damage to your transaxle,do not accelerate the engine in R(Reverse) or any forward gear posi-tion with the brakes on. Thetransaxle may be damaged if you shift into P (Park) while the vehicleis in motion.

What to do in an emergency
0. Speed restriction label
1. Sealant bottle and label withspeed restriction
2. Filling hose from sealant bottle to wheel
3. Connectors and cable for the power outlet direct connection 4. Holder for the sealant bottle
5. Compressor
6. On/off switch
7. Pressure gauge for displaying the
tire inflation pressure
8. Button for reducing tire inflation pressure 9. Hose to connect compressor and
sealant bottle or compressor and
wheel
Connectors, cable and connection
hose are stored in the compressor
housing.
Strictly follow the specified
sequence, otherwise the sealant
may escape under high pressure.

WARNING- Expired sealant
Do not use the Tire sealant after
expiration date noted on the
sealant bottle. This can increase
the risk of tire failure.
WARNING - Sealant
• Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid contact with eyes.
Do not swallow.

Maintenance
3. Checking tire life (TIN : TireIdentification Number)
Any tires that are over 6 years old,
based on the manufacturing date,
(including the spare tire) should be
replaced by new ones. You can find
the manufacturing date on the tire
sidewall (possibly on the inside of the
wheel), displaying the DOT Code.
The DOT Code is a series of num-
bers on a tire consisting of numbers
and English letters. The manufactur-
ing date is designated by the last four
digits (characters) of the DOT code.
DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOO
The front part of the DOT means a
plant code number, tire size and
tread pattern and the last four num-
bers indicate week and year manu-
factured.
For example:
DOT XXXX XXXX 1609 represents
that the tire was produced in the 16th
week of 2009.
4. Tire ply composition and mate-rial
The number of layers or plies of rub-
ber-coated fabric in the tire. Tire
manufacturers also must indicate the
materials in the tire, which include
steel, nylon, polyester, and others.
The letter "R" means radial ply con-
struction; the letter "D" means diago-
nal or bias ply construction; and the
letter "B" means belted-bias ply con-
struction.
5. Maximum permissible inflationpressure
This number is the greatest amount
of air pressure that should be put in
the tire. Do not exceed the maximum
permissible inflation pressure. Refer
to the Tire and Loading Information
label for recommended inflation
pressure.
6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds that
can be carried by the tire. When
replacing the tires on the vehicle,
always use a tire that has the same
load rating as the factory installed
tire.
WARNING - Tire age
Replace tires within the recom-
mended time frame. Failure to
replace tires as recommended
can result in sudden tire failure,
which could lead to a loss of
control and an accident.

H2
Kia Hybrid-Electric Vehicle (HEV) uses
a gasoline engine and an electric
motor for power. The electric motor is
run from a 270V high voltage HEV bat-
tery.
The HEV computer decides when to
use the engine and when to use elec-
tric motor, according to driving condi-
tions. At times, both are used simulta-
neously.
By turning off the engine under cer-
tain conditions and using the electric
motor alone, the HEV system saves
fuel.
When the HEV battery reaches a low
state of charge, the engine will cycle
on and off to recharge the battery.
Charging also occurs when decelerat-
ing by using regenerative braking.Hybrid System Display
Many of the displays provide information
about the hybrid system, such as the
ECO Level and ECO Score.
The ECO Level displays inform the driver
of the vehicle's fuel efficiency. If the vehi-
cle is driven economically, the ECO Level
rises. When the vehicle is driven in EV
mode, there is a reduction in carbon diox-
ide (CO2) emissions.
The Total ECO Score display indicates
the number of times the ECO Level has
reached its maximum.ECO Level display
When the vehicle is started, the ECO
Level display will indicate level number 4.
If you drive economically, the ECO Level
will increase. However, if you do not drive
economically, the ECO Level will
decrease.

H3
Total ECO Score display
If your ECO Level reaches its maximum,
your Total ECO Score automatically rises
by 1 point. Total ECO Score points are
saved and accumulate over time.
The image displayed on Total ECO Score
will change continuously, adding leaves
and flowers to a branch.
State of charge
The state of charge (SOC) gauge indi-
cates the hybrid battery's charge level. If
the SOC is near Low (L) level, the vehicle
automatically operates the engine to
charge the battery. However, if the serv-
ice indicator and MIL(Malfunction indica-
tor lamp) turn on when the State of
Charge(SOC) is near L, the vehicle
should be towed. Refer to the chapter 6.
OTFH042301C
OTFH040225N
WARNING
Never crank the engine for a pro-
longed time without the engine
starting. This could result in the
HEV battery becoming totally dis-
charged and is likely to be dam-
aged.
