Air conditioning (if equipped)
Kia Air Conditioning Systems are filled
with environmentally friendly refrigerant*.
1. Start the engine. Push the air condi-
tioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.
3. Set the air intake control to the outside air or recirculated air position.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and tem- perature control to maintain maximum
comfort.
*: Your vehicle is filled with R-134a or R- 1234yf according to the regulation in
your country at the time of producing.
You can find out which air conditioning
refrigerant is applied to your vehicle at
the label inside of hood. Refer to chap-
ter 8 for more detail location of air con-
ditioning refrigerant label.✽NOTICE
• When using the air conditioning sys- tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely while driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera-
tures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine over-
heating. Continue to use the blower
fan but turn the air conditioning sys-
tem off if the temperature gauge indi-
cates engine overheating.
• When opening the windows in humid
weather air conditioning may create
water droplets inside the vehicle.
Since excessive water droplets may
cause damage to electrical equipment,
air conditioning should only be used
with the windows closed.CAUTION
• The refrigerant system should
only be serviced by trained andcertified technicians to insureproper and safe operation.
• The refrigerant system should be serviced in a well-ventilatedplace.
• The air conditioning evaporator (cooling coil) shall never berepaired or replaced with one
removed from a used or salvaged vehicle and new replacementMAC evaporators shall be certi-fied (and labeled) as meeting SAE
Standard J2842.

✽NOTICE
• Replace the filter according to the Maintenance Schedule.
If the car is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty, rough roads,
more frequent climate control air fil-
ter inspections and changes are
required.
• When the air flow rate suddenly
decreases, we recommend that the
system be checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and compres-sor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has a bad influ-ence on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, we recommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING - Vehicles
equipped with R-1234yf*
Because the refrigerant
is mildly inflammable
and at very high pres-
sure, the air conditioning
system should only be
serviced by trained and
certified technicians. It is
important that the cor- rect type and amount of
oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, it may cause damage to
the vehicle and personal injury.
WARNING - Vehicles
equipped with R-134a*
Because the refrigerant
is at very high pressure,the air conditioning sys-
tem should only be
serviced by trained and
certified technicians. It is important that the correct type and amount of
oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, it may cause damage to
the vehicle and personal injury.

What is Bluetooth®
Wireless
Technology?
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology that
allows multiple devices to be connected
in a short range, low-powered devices
like hands-free, stereo headset, wireless
remote controller, etc. For more information,visit
the Bluetooth®Wireless Technologywebsite at www.Bluetooth.com
 Bluetooth®Wireless Technology features
can be used only when the mobile phone has been paired and connected with the
device. For more information on pairingand connecting
Bluetooth®Wireless
Technology endbled mobile phones,
refer to the “Phone Setup” section.
 When a
Bluetooth®Wireless
Technology mobile phone is connected,
a ( ) icon will appear at the top of the
screen. If a ( ) icon is not displayed,this indicates that a
Bluetooth®
Wireless Technology enabled device
has not been connected. Your must
connect the device before use. For
more information on
Bluetooth®
Wireless Technology mobile phones,
refer to the “Phone Setup” section.
 Pairing and connecting a
Bluetooth®
Wireless Technology enabled mobile
phone will work only when the
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology option
within your mobile phone has been
turned on. (Methods of turning on the
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology
enabled feature may differ depending
on the mobile phone.)
 In some mobile phones, starting the ignition while talking through
Bluetooth®
Wireless Technology handsfree call willresult in the call becoming disconnect-
ed. (Switch the call back to your mobile
phone when starting the ignition.)  Some features may not be supported in
some
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology
enabled mobile phone and devices.

Bluetooth®Wireless Technology func-
tions may operate unstably depending
on the communication state.
 Do not use a cellular phone or perform
Bluetooth®Wireless Technologysettings
(e.g. pairing a phone) while driving.
 Some
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology-
enabled phones ma y not be recognized
by the system or fully compatible withthe system.
 Before using
Bluetooth®Wireless
Technologyrelated features of the audio
system, refer your phone’s User’s
Manual for phone-side
Bluetooth®
Wireless Technologyoperations.

The phone must be paired to the audiosystem to use Bluetooth®Wireless
Technologyrelated features.
 You will not be able to use the hands- free feature when your phone (in the
car) is outside of the cellular service
area (e.g. in a tunnel, in a underground,in a mountainous area, etc.).

Transaxle ranges
The indicator lights in the instrument
cluster displays the shift lever position
when the ignition switch is in the ONposition.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into P (Park). This position locks
the transaxle and prevents the frontwheels from rotating. R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transaxle are not
engaged. The vehicle will roll freely even
on the slightest incline unless the parking
brake or service brakes are applied.D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving posi-
tion. The transaxle will automatically shift
through a 6-gear sequence, providing the
best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or climbing grades, depress the
accelerator pedal fully (more than 80%)
until the kick down mechanism works
with a clicking noise, at which time the
transaxle will automatically downshift to
the next lower gear.
✽✽
NOTICE
 Always come to a complete stop before shifting into D (Drive).
 A clicking noise heard from the kick down mechanism by depressing the
accelerator pedal fully is a normal
condition.
CAUTION
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into or out of R (Reverse); you may damage the
transaxle if you shift into R (Reverse)while the vehicle is in motion, except as explained in “Rocking the vehi-
cle”, in this manual.
WARNING
 Shifting into P (Park) while the vehicle is in motion will cause the
drive wheels to lock which will
cause you to lose control of the
vehicle.
 Do not use the P (Park) position in place of the parking brake.
Always make sure the shift lever
is latched in the P (Park) position
and set the parking brake fully.
 Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle.
CAUTION
The transaxle may be damaged if
you shift into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion.

Driving your vehicle
Moving up a steep grade from a stand-ing start
Automatic transaxle and Double clutch
transmission
To move up a steep grade from a stand-
ing start, depress the brake pedal, shift
the shift lever to D (Drive). Select the
appropriate gear depending on load
weight and steepness of the grade, and
release the parking brake. Depress the
accelerator pedal gradually while releas-
ing the service brakes.
Automatic transaxle
When accelerating from a stop on a
steep hill, the vehicle may have a ten-
dency to roll backwards. Shifting the
shift lever into 2 (Second Gear) will
help prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards.
WARNING
If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you
may attempt to rock the vehicle free
by moving it forward and backward.
Do not attempt this procedure if
people or objects are anywhere
near the vehicle. During the rocking
operation the vehicle may suddenly
move forward of backward as it
becomes unstuck, causing injury
or damage to nearby people orobjects.
