nal to the vehicle speakers only, and will
not adjust the headphone volume. Press
“+” to increase the volume and “-” to
decrease the volume.
Second, the volume on the wireless
headphones can be adjusted by turning
the VOL knob located on the left side of
the headphones.
3. Play/Pause
You do not need to press the play button
after first loading a DVD or VCD; it will
start automatically by playing the first
track or bringing up the disc menu.
If the disc does not automatically load,
press PLAY/PAUSE( ) to play the DVD.
While playing a DVD, press PLAY
/PAUSE( ) to pause the DVD. Press
the button again to resume play.
4. Display
When the player is in DVD mode, press the
DISP button to view the DVD title, chapter
number and elapsed time and other infor-
mation about the DVD currently playing.
It will also display brightness. There are
“Day Time” brightness with brightest level
and “Night Time” brightness which has 70%
level of “Day Time” brightness. Adjust the
level of brightness by pressing the

ness will return to the daytime brightness.
Press DISP to adjust the image format. The
image format, also known as the aspect
ratio, is a ratio of the height to width of the
image on the screen. For example, a 4:3
ratio would mean an image that is 4 units by
3 units.

Driving your vehicle
Non-operational conditions of
rear parking assist system
Rear parking assist system may notoperate normally when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It will operate normally when moisture
melts.)
2. Sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or the sensor
cover is blocked. (It will operate nor-
mally when the material is removed or
the sensor is no longer blocked.)
3. Driving on uneven road surfaces (unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, gradi-
ent).
4. Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motorcycle
engines, or truck air brakes) are within
range of the sensor.
5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are within range of the sensor.
7. Sensor is covered with snow.
8. Trailer towing
Detecting range may decrease when:
1. Sensor is stained with foreign matter such as snow or water. (Sensing range
will return to normal when removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
Following objects may not be recog-nized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2. Objects which tend to absorb sensor frequency such as clothes, spongy
material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 in.) and narrower than 14 cm (6 in.)
in diameter.
CAUTION
1. The rear parking assist system may not sound sequentiallydepending on the speed and shapes of the objects detected.
2. The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehiclebumper height or sensor installa-tion has been modified or dam- aged. Any non-factory installedequipment or accessories mayalso interfere with the sensor per- formance.
3. Sensor may not recognize objects less than 40 cm (15 in.)from the sensor, or it may sensean incorrect distance. Use cau- tion.
4. When sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water, sensormay be inoperative until the stains are removed using a softcloth.
5. Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damage couldoccur.

Compact spare tire replacement
A compact spare tire has a shorter
tread life than a regular size tire.
Replace it when you can see the
tread wear indicator bars on the tire.
The replacement compact spare tire
should be the same size and design
tire as the one provided with your
new Kia and should be mounted on
the same compact spare tire wheel.
The compact spare tire is not
designed to be mounted on a regular
size wheel, and the compact spare
tire wheel is not designed for mount-
ing a regular size tire. 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.
Wheel alignment and tire
balance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tire
wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need
to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road, your
wheels may need to be rebalanced.
WARNING
The ABS works by comparing
the speed of the wheels. Tire size
can affect wheel speed. When
replacing tires, all 4 tires must
use the same size originally sup-
plied with the vehicle. Using tires
of a different size can cause the
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
and ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) to work irregularly.
WARNING
A wheel that is not the correct
size may adversely affect wheel
and bearing life, braking and
stopping abilities, handling char-
acteristics, ground clearance,
body-to-tire clearance, snow
chain clearance, speedometer
calibration, headlight aim and
bumper height.
WARNING- Replacing
tires
Driving on worn-out tires is very hazardous and will reduce
braking effectiveness, steering
accuracy, and traction.
Your vehicle is equipped with tires designed to provide for
safe ride and handling capa-
bility.
(Continued)
CAUTION
Improper wheel weights candamage your vehicle's alu-minum wheels. Use onlyapproved wheel weights.

2. Tire size designation
A tire’s sidewall is marked with a tire
size designation. You will need this
information when selecting replace-
ment tires for your car. The following
explains what the letters and num-
bers in the tire size designation
mean.
Example tire size designation:
(These numbers are provided as an
example only; your tire size designa-
tor could vary depending on your
vehicle.)
P185/65R14 86H
P - Applicable vehicle type (tires
marked with the prefix “P’’ are
intended for use on passenger
cars or light trucks; however, not
all tires have this marking).
185 - Tire width in millimeters.
65 - Aspect ratio. The tire’s section height as a percentage of its
width.
R - Tire construction code (Radial).
14 - Rim diameter in inches. 86 - Load Index, a numerical code
associated with the maximum
load the tire can carry.
H - Speed Rating Symbol. See the speed rating chart in this section
for additional information.
Wheel size designation
Wheels are also marked with impor-
tant information that you need if you
ever have to replace one. The follow-
ing explains what the letters and
numbers in the wheel size designa-
tion mean.
Example wheel size designation:
5.5JX14
5.5 - Rim width in inches.
J - Rim contour designation.
14 - Rim diameter in inches.
Tire speed ratings
The chart below lists many of the dif-
ferent speed ratings currently being
used for passenger cars. The speed
rating is part of the tire size designa-
tion on the sidewall of the tire. This
symbol corresponds to that tire's
designed maximum safe operating
speed.
S 180 km/h (112 mph)
T 190 km/h (118 mph)
H 210 km/h (130 mph) V 240 km/h (149 mph)Z Above 240 km/h (149 mph)
