Maintenance
Diesel Particulate Filter (if equipped)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) sys-
tem removes the soot emitted from the
vehicle.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxidizes)
and removes the accumulated soot
according to the driving condition. In
other words, the active burning by engine
control system and high exhaust gas
temperature caused by normal/high driv-
ing condition burns and removes the
accumulated soot.
However, if the vehicle continues to be
driven at low speed for long time, the
accumulated soot may not be automati-
cally removed because of low exhaust
gas temperature. In this particular case,the amount of soot is out of detection
limit, the soot oxidation process by
engine control system may not happen
and the malfunction indicator light may
blink. When the malfunction indicator light
blinks, it may stop blinking by driving the
vehicle at more than 60km/h (37 mph) orat more than second gear with 1500 ~
2000 engine rpm for a certain time (for
about 25 minutes).If the malfunction indicator light contin-
ues to be blinked in spite of the proce-
dure, we recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
If you continue to drive with the malfunc-
tion indicator light blinking for a long
time, the DPF system can be damaged
and fuel consumption can be worsen.
CAUTION
- Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regu- lated automotive diesel fuel fordiesel vehicle equipped with the
DPF system.
If you use diesel fuel including highsulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur) andunspecified additives, it can cause
the DPF system to be damaged andwhite smoke can be emitted.

WARNING
- Refueling
 If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can cover your clothes or skin
and thus subject you to the risk
of fire and burns. Always remove
the fuel cap carefully and slowly.
If the cap is venting fuel or if you
hear a hissing sound, wait until
the condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
 Do not "top off" after the nozzle automatically shuts off whenrefueling.

Features of your vehicle
(Continued)Use only approved portable plas-
tic fuel containers designed to
carry and store petrol.
 Do not use cellular phones whilst refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cel-
lular phones can potentially
ignite fuel vapours causing a fire.
 When refueling, always shut the engine off. Sparks produced byelectrical components related tothe engine can ignite fuel
vapours causing a fire. Once
refueling is complete, check tomake sure the filler cap and filler
door are securely closed, before
starting the engine.
 DO NOT use matches or a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle whilst at
a gas station especially during
refueling. Automotive fuel is
highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.
(Continued)(Continued)
 Do not get back into a vehicleonce you have begun refueling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing
or sliding against any item or fab-
ric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static elec-
tricity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapours resulting
in rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other petrol
source.
 When using an approved portable fuel container, be sure toplace the container on the
ground prior to refueling. Static
electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel vapours
causing a fire. Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehicleshould be maintained until the
filling is complete.
(Continued)WARNING - Refueling dan-
gers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines care-
fully. Failure to follow these guide-
lines may result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death by fire
or explosion.
 Read and follow all warning at the gas station facility.
 Before refueling note the location of the Emergency Petrol Shut-Off,
if available, at the gas station
facility.
 Before touching the fuel nozzle, you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source.

Features of your vehicle
Electric power steering
Power steering uses the motor to assist
you in steering the vehicle. If the engine
is off or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, the vehicle may
still be steered, but it will require
increased steering effort.
The motor driven power steering is con-
trolled by the power steering control unit
which senses the steering wheel torque
and vehicle speed to command the
motor.
The steering effort becomes heavier as
the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s speed
decreases for better control of the steer-ing wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend that
the system be checked by an authorised
Kia dealer.
✽✽NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur dur- ing normal vehicle operation:

Features of your vehicle
Elapsed time (if equipped)
This mode indicates the total time trav-
eled since the last driving time reset.
Even if the vehicle is not in motion, the
driving time keeps going whilst the
engine is running.
The meter’s working range is from 0:00~99:59.
Pressing the TRIP button for more than 1
second, when the driving time is being
displayed, clears the driving time to zero(0:00).Warnings and indicators
All warning lights are checked by turning
the ignition switch ON (do not start the
engine). If any light that does not illumi-
nate, we recommend that the system be
checked by an authorised Kia dealer.
After starting the engine, check to make
sure that all warning lights are off. If anyare still on, this indicates a situation that
needs attention. When releasing the
parking brake, the brake system warning
light should go off. The fuel warning light
will stay on if the fuel level is low.
Air bag warning light
(if equipped)
This warning light will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds each time you
turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-tion. This light also comes on when the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is
not working properly. If the AIR BAG
warning light does not come on, or con-
tinuously remains on after operating for
about 6 seconds when you turned the
ignition switch to the ON position or start-
ed the engine, or if it comes on whilst
driving, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorised Kia deal-
er.
For information about the passenger’s
front air bag ON/OFF indicator, refer to
"Air bag - supplemental restraint system"in section 3.

Features of your vehicle
Engine oil pressure warning
This warning light indicates the engine oil
pressure is low.
If the warning light illuminates whilst driv- ing:
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and stop.
2. With the engine off, check the engine oil level. If the level is low, add oil as required.
If the warning light remains on after
adding oil or if oil is not available, we rec-
ommend that you call an authorised Kia
dealer.
Turn signal indicator
The blinking green arrows on the instru-
ment panel show the direction indicated
by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on
but does not blink, blinks more rapidly
than normal, or does not illuminate at all,
it indicates a malfunction in the turn sig-
nal system. You should consult your deal-
er for repairs.
This indicator also blinks when the haz-
ard warning switch is turned on.
High beam indicator
This indicator illuminates when the head- lights are on and in the high beam posi-
tion or when the turn signal lever is pulled
into the Flash-to-Pass position.CAUTION
If the engine is not stopped imme- diately after the engine oil pressure
warning light is illuminated, severedamage could result.
CAUTION
If the oil pressure warning lightstays on whilst the engine is run-
ning, serious engine damage mayresult. The oil pressure warninglight comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. In normal
operation, it should come on whenthe ignition switch is turned on, then go out when the engine is
started. If the oil pressure warning light stays on whilst the engine isrunning, there is a serious malfunc-tion.
If this happens, stop the car assoon as it is safe to do so, turn offthe engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine oil
to the proper level and start the engine again. If the light stays onwith the engine running, turn theengine off immediately. In any
instance where the oil light stays onwhen the engine is running, we rec-ommend that the system be checked by an authorised Kia deal-
er.
