NOTICE
 If you install an after market HID head lamp, your vehicle’s audio and
electronic device may malfunction.
 Prevent chemicals such as perfume,
cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand cleaner
and air freshener from contacting the
interior parts because they may cause
damage or discoloration.
Antenna D300102BHM
Roof antenna
Your vehicle uses a roof antenna to receive
both AM and FM broadcast signals. This
antenna is removable. To remove the
antenna, turn it counterclockwise. To install
the antenna, turn it clockwise.
AUDIO SYSTEM
CAUTION
• Before entering a place with a low
height clearance or a car wash,
remove the antenna by rotating it counterclockwise. If not, theantenna may be damaged.
When reinstalling your antenna, it is important that it is fully tight-ened and adjusted to the uprightposition to ensure proper recep- tion. But it could be removed
when parking the vehicle or when loading cargo on the roof rack.
When cargo is loaded on the roof rack, do not place the cargo nearthe antenna pole to ensure proper
reception.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)The ABS continuously senses the speed
of the wheels. If the wheels are going to
lock, the ABS system repeatedly modu-
lates the hydraulic brake pressure to the
wheels.
When you apply your brakes under con-
ditions which may lock the wheels, you
may hear a “tik-tik’’ sound from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sensation
in the brake pedal. This is normal and it
means your ABS is active.
In order to obtain the maximum benefit
from your ABS in an emergency situa-
tion, do not attempt to modulate your
brake pressure and do not try to pump
your brakes. Press your brake pedal as
hard as possible or as hard as the situa-
tion allows the ABS to control the force
being delivered to the brakes.
WARNING
ABS (or ESP) will not prevent acci-
dents due to improper or danger-
ous driving maneuvers. Even
though vehicle control is improved
during emergency braking, always
maintain a safe distance between
you and objects ahead. Vehicle
speeds should always be reduced
during extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for vehicle
equipped with an anti-lock braking
system (or Electronic Stability
Program System) may be longer
than for those without it in the fol-
lowing road conditions.
During these conditions the vehicle should be driven at reducedspeeds:
Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads.
With tire chains installed. (Continued)
(Continued)
On roads where the road surfaceis pitted or has different surface height.
The safety features of an ABS (or
ESP) equipped vehicle should not
be tested by high speed driving or
cornering. This could endanger the
safety of yourself or others.

The Air Leveling System improves driv-
ing stability and riding comfort with con-
tinuous maintenance of vehicle height
regardless of the load and number of
passengers. The rear height is controlled
automatically and manually into three
modes; Ordinary driving mode (N), Off
road driving mode (HI) and Loadingmode (LO).E180100AHM
N (Normal) - Ordinary driving mode
The normal height of the vehicle is main- tained. The indicator on the cluster will illuminate
at N (Normal).
E180200AHM
HI (High) - Off road driving mode
The rear part of the vehicle is lifted to
drive on rough roads such as off-roads.
With the engine running press the top
part of the switch. The HI (High) mode
activates only when the vehicle is not
moving or the speed is less than 35 km/h
(22mph). The indicator blinks when thesystem is adjusting itself to the HI (High)
mode. When the adjustment is complet-
ed (about 40mm (2 in.) raised) the indi-cator on the cluster will illuminate at HI(High).

To go to the N (Normal) mode, press the
bottom part of the switch. Also, if the
vehicle speed is over 60 km/h (38mph) or
drives over 10 seconds at the speed of
about 45 km/h (28mph), the vehicle will
lower itself to the N (Normal) mode.
E180200AHM
LO (Low) - Loading mode
The rear part of the vehicle is lowered to
make it easy to load or unload cargo.
With the engine running press the bottom
part of the switch. The LO (Low) mode
activates only when the vehicle is not
moving. The indicator blinks when the
system is adjusting itself to the LO (Low)
mode. When the adjustment is complet-
ed (about 40mm (2 in.) lowered) the indi-cator on the cluster will illuminate at LO
(Low).
To go to the N (Normal) mode, press the
top part of the switch. Also, if the vehicle
speed is over 2 km/h (1 mph), the vehicle
will lift itself to the N (Normal) mode.✽✽NOTICE
The ALS will adjust the rear height of
the vehicle according to the load and
number of passengers when the ignition
switch is in the ON position or when the
engine is on.

CAUTION
Always check if there is anythingunder the rear part of the vehicle
before adjusting the ALS.
There may be noise heard while the ALS is adjusting the height toa mode.
Do not turn off the engine or press the switch to another modewhile the ALS is adjusting to themode selected.
Do not activate the ALS when the air filter of the compressor has
been submerged.
Inspect or replace the ALS air fil- ter and air spring according to themaintenance schedule.
Do not drive the vehicle when the air spring is damaged or airless.Have the vehicle towed with allthe wheels lifted from the ground.
(Continued)
(Continued) Have the vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer if all thelights of the ALS indicator is illu-minated.
All the lights of the ALS indicator can be illuminated when the vehi-cle was parked with one side ofthe vehicle lifted or when one
side of the vehicle was lifted witha jack. When this happens, takethe vehicle to a level ground, and turn off the engine. The ALS will
operate normally when the engineis turned on again.

Compact spare tire replacement
(if equipped)
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 vehicle and should be mountedon the same compact spare tire
wheel. The compact spare tire is notdesigned to be mounted on a regular
size wheel, and the compact spare
tire wheel is not designed for mount-
ing a regular size tire. G200700AUN 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 widthand offset.
G200800AHM Tire traction
Tire traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tires, tires that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces. Tires should be
replaced when tread wear indicators
appear. Slow down whenever there
is rain, snow or ice on the road toreduce the possibility of losing con-
trol of the vehicle.
G200900AUN Tire maintenance In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease
tire wear. If you find a tire is worn
unevenly, have your dealer check thewheel alignment.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort and
tire life. Additionally, a tire should
always be rebalanced if it is removedfrom the wheel.
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
and odometer calibration, head-
light aim and bumper height.

intended for use on passenger
vehicles or light trucks; however,
not all tires have this marking).
245 - Tire width in millimeters.
70 - Aspect ratio. The tire’s section height as a percentage of its width.
R - Tire construction code (Radial).

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: 7.0JX17
7.0 - Rim width in inches. J - Rim contour designation.

Tire speed ratings
The chart below lists many of the dif-
ferent speed ratings currently being
used for passenger car tires. The
speed rating is part of the tire size
designation on the sidewall of the
tire. This symbol corresponds to that
tire's designed maximum safe oper-ating speed.
