NOTICE
 The HAC does not operate when the transaxle shift lever is in the P
(Park) or N (Neutral) position.
 The HAC activates even though the ESC is off but it does not acti-
vate when the ESC has malfunc-
tioned. Good braking practices After parking the vehicle, check to
be sure the parking brake is not
engaged and that the parking
brake indicator light is out before
driving away.
Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the car is washed. Wet
brakes can be dangerous! Your car
will not stop as quickly if the brakes
are wet. Wet brakes may cause the
car to pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action
returns to normal, taking care to
keep the car under control at all
times. If the braking action does
not return to normal, stop as soon
as it is safe to do so and call an
authorized Kia dealer for assis-
tance.
Do not coast down hills with the car out of gear. This is extremely haz-
ardous. Keep the car in gear at all
times, use the brakes to slow
down, then shift to a lower gear so
that engine braking will help you
maintain a safe speed.
WARNING
Whenever leaving vehicle or parking, always set the park-
ing brake as far as possible
and fully engage the vehicle'stransmission into the park
position. Vehicles not fully
engaged in park with the park-
ing brake set are at risk for
moving inadvertently and
injuring yourself or others.
All vehicles should always have the parking brake fully
engaged when parking to
avoid inadvertent movement
of the car which can injureoccupants or pedestrians.

AVSM detects the distance from the
vehicle ahead with the sensor, to
warn you before collision and protect
you in certain hazardous situations
by using warning message, warning
sound and seat belt vibration (ifequipped).
If the AVSM senses the objectahead too near the vehicle and if
driver's operating of the brake
pedal or the steering wheel should
be needed, the warning light illumi-
nates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
If the AVSM senses more danger- ous, the warning sound also oper-
ates and the accelerator
pedal/seat belt vibrates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
AVSM (IF EQUIPPED)CAUTION
Always check the road condi-
tions to prevent danger even ifthe warning light does not illu-minate, the warning sound does not operate or the acceleratorpedal/seat belt does not vibrate.

Brake operating
If the AVSM senses the collision,the brake system comes to stan- dard mode to react promptly when
the driver operates the brakepedal.
If the driver releases the accelera- tor after warning in hazardous situ-
ations, the AVSM automatically
brakes the vehicle gently.
If the driver hits the brake to reduce vehicle speed, the brake assistant
system operates to raise efficiency
of braking.
If danger disappears, if the driver depresses the accelerator or if the
driver releases the brake pedal,
the brake operating stop.
Seat belt operating
The seat belt tightens when the vehi- cle senses a collision.
