ESP (Electronic StabilityProgram) indicator(if equipped)
The ESP indicator will illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned ON, but
should go off after approximately 3 sec-

driving conditions. Under normal driving
conditions, the ESP indicator will remain
off. When a slippery or low traction con-dition is encountered, the ESP will oper-
ate, and the ESP indicator will blink to
indicate the ESP is operating. But, if the ESP system malfunctions the
indicator illuminates and stays on. We
recommend that you contact an autho-
rised Kia dealer.

 Prolonged driving with the Emission Control System
Malfunction Indicator Light illumi-nated may cause damage to theemission control systems which could effect drivability and/or fuel
economy.

If the EmissionControl System

nates, potential catalytic converter damage is possible which could result in loss of engine power. Werecommend that the system be
inspected by an authorised Kia dealer.
CAUTION - Diesel engine
When the malfunction indicator
light is blinks, it may stop blinking
after driving the vehicle at morethan 60km/h (37 mph) or at more than second gear with 1500 ~ 2000engine rpm for a certain time (for
about 25 minutes).
If the malfunction indicator lightcontinues to be blinked in spite of the procedure, we recommend that
the system be checked by an autho- rised Kia dealer.
If you continue to drive with themalfunction indicator light blinking
for a long time, the DPF system canbe damaged and fuel consumption can be worsen.

Low tyre pressure position telltale
The low tyre pressure telltale comes on
for 3 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the "ON" position.
The low tyre pressure and position tell-
tales illuminate when one or more of your
tyres is significantly underinflated.
The low tyre pressure telltale will illumi-

✽✽ NOTICE
When the engine automatically starts by
the ISG system, some warning
lights(ABS, ESP, ESP OFF, EPS orParking brake warning light) may turn
on for a few seconds. This happens because of the low batteryvoltage. It does not mean the system ismalfunctioning.
AUTO
STOPWARNING
Significantly low tyre pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and can
contribute to loss of vehicle controland increased braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure
tyres will cause the tyres to over-heat and fail.
WARNING - Safe stopping
 The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and sudden tyre damage
caused by external factors.
 If you feel any vehicle instability, immediately take your foot off the
accelerator, apply the brakes
gradually and with light force,
and slowly move to a safe posi-

Windscreen washers (front)
In the O (OFF) position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer fluid
on the windscreen and to run the wipers
1-3 cycles. Use this function when the windscreen is
dirty.
The spray and wiper operation will con-
tinue until you release the lever.
If the washer does not work, check the
washer fluid level. If the fluid level, you
will need to add appropriate non-abra-
sive windscreen washer fluid to the
washer reservoir.
The reservoir filler neck is located in the
front of the engine compartment on the
driver side.
Auto control (if equipped)
The rain sensor located on the upper end of the windscreen glass senses the
amount of rainfall and controls the wiping
cycle for the proper interval. The more it
rains, the faster the wiper operates.
When the rain stops, the wiper stops.
To vary the speed setting, turn the speed control knob (1).

WARNING - ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the win-
dows immediately.
• Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colourless, odourless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyx- iation.
 Be sure the exhaust system does not leak. The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear
a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, we recommend
that the system be checked by an authorised Kia dealer.
 Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your
garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the vehicle out.
 Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle. If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the vehicle, be sure to do so only in an open a rea
with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
If you must drive with the tailgate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windscre en
are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
