Instrument panel illumination
The instrument panel illumination intensi-
ty can be adjusted by pressing the con-
trol switch with the headlight switch in
any position when the engine start/stop
button is in the ON position.
The illumination intensity is shown on the
instrument cluster LCD display.
Gauges
Odometer (km or mi.)
The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance the vehicle has been driven.
You will also find the odometer useful to
determine when periodic maintenance
should be performed.
The odometer is always displayed until
the display is turned off.
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the forward
speed of the vehicle.
The speedometer is calibrated in kilome-
ters per hour and/or kilometers per hour.

Electronic brake
force distribution
(EBD) system
warning light
If these two warning lights illuminate at
the same time while driving, your vehi-
cle’s ABS and EBD system may have
malfunctioned.
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.✽ ✽NOTICE
If the ABS warning light or EBD warn-
ing light is on and stays on, the
speedometer or odometer/tripmeter
may not work. In this case, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized Kia
dealer as soon as possible.
Seat belt warning
As a reminder to the driver, the seat belt
warning light will blink for approximately
6 seconds each time you turn the engine
start/stop button ON, regardless of belt
fastening.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the engine start/stop button is
turned on, the seat belt warning light and
the seat belt warning chime will operate
for approximately 6 seconds. But if it is
refastened within the 6 seconds, the
warning light will blink till the 6 seconds
and the warning chime will turn off imme-
diately.
If the driver's seat belt is disconnected
after the engine start/stop button is
turned to the ON position, the seat belt
warning light will blink for approximately
6 seconds. But if it is fastened within the
6 seconds the warning light will turn off
immediately. If the driver's seat belt is not
fastened when the vehicle speed
exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph), the seat belt
warning light and chime will operate
approximately 11 times with a pattern of
6 seconds on and 24 seconds off until
the belt is fastened or the vehicle speed
decreases below 5 km/h (3 mph).
WARNING
If both ABS and Brake warning
lights are on and stay on, your vehi-
cle’s brake system will not work
normally during sudden braking.
Have your vehicle checked by an
authorized Kia dealer as soon as
possible.

Maintenance
Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for
any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width
and offset.
A wheel that is not the correct size
may adversely affect wheel and
bearing life, braking and stopping
abilities, handling characteristics,
ground clearance, body-to-tire clear-
ance, snow chain clearance,
speedometer and odometer calibra-
tion, headlight aim and bumper
height.
Tire traction
Tire traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tires, tires that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces. Tires should be
replaced when tread wear indicators
appear. Slow down whenever there
is rain, snow or ice on the road, to
reduce the possibility of losing con-
trol of the vehicle.
Tire maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease
tire wear. If you find a tire is worn
unevenly, have your dealer check the
wheel alignment.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort and
tire life. Additionally, a tire should
always be rebalanced if it is removed
from the wheel.Tire sidewall labeling
This information identifies and
describes the fundamental charac-
teristics of the tire and also provides
the tire identification number (TIN)
for safety standard certification. The
TIN can be used to identify the tire in
case of a recall.

Wheels that do not meet Kia'sspecifications may fit poorlyand result in damage to thevehicle or unusual handling andpoor vehicle control.
