Safety features of your vehicle

Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"under-ride" situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “under-ride” colli-
sions. Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air
bag deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
However, if equipped with side
impact and curtain air bags, the air
bags may inflate in a rollover, when
it is detected by the rollover sensor. Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-
cle collides with objects such as
utility poles or trees, where the
point of impact is concentrated to
one area and the full force of the
impact is not delivered to the sen-
sors.

Features of your vehicle
This system will activate when theindicator on the rear parking assist
OFF button is not illuminated. If
you desire to deactivate the Back-
up warning system, press the rear
parking assist OFF button. (The
indicator on the button will illumi-
nate.) To turn the system on, press
the button again. (The indicator on
the button will go off.)
The sensing distance while the Back-up warning system is in oper-
ation is approximately 120 cm (47
in.).
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.Types of warning sound
When an object is 120 cm to 81 cm(47 in. to 32 in.) from the rear
bumper: Buzzer beeps intermit-
tently.
When an object is 80 cm to 41 cm (31 in. to 16 in.) from the rear
bumper: Buzzer beeps more fre-
quently.
When an object is within 40 cm (15 in.) of the rear bumper:
Buzzer sounds continuously.
Non-operational conditions of
Back-up warning system
The Back-up warning system may
not operate properly when:
1.Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (Itwill operate normally when the
moisture has been cleared.)
2.The sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or
the sensor cover is blocked. (It will
operate normally when the materi-
al is removed or the sensor is no
longer blocked.)
3.Driving on uneven road surfaces (unpaved roads, gravel, bumps,
gradient).
4.Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motorcy-
cle 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.The sensor is covered with snow.
8.Trailer towing

Maintenance
Ty p e B
Check the stroke of the parking
brake by counting the number of
“clicks’’ heard while fully applying it
from the released position. Also, the
parking brake alone should securely
hold the vehicle on a fairly steep
grade. If the stroke is more or less
than specified, have the parking
brake adjusted by an authorized Kia
dealer.
Stroke : 5~6 “clicks’’ at a force of 20 kg (44 lbs, 196 N).

Filter replacement
It must be replaced when necessary,
and should not be washed.
You can clean the filter when inspect-
ing the air cleaner element.
Clean the filter by using compressed
air. Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is operated in extreme-
ly dusty or sandy areas, replace theelement more often than the usualrecommended intervals.
AIR CLEANER
OSL050012OLM079012
CAUTION
Do not drive with the air clean- er removed; this will result inexcessive engine wear.
When removing the air cleaner filter, be careful that dust ordirt does not enter the airintake, or damage may result.
Use a Kia genuine part. Use of non-genuine parts could dam-age the air flow sensor.
