Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) indicator (if equipped)
Low tyre pressure telltale/
TPMS malfunction indicator
The low tyre pressure telltale comes on
for 3 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position.
The low tyre pressure and position tell- tales illuminates when one or more of
your tyres is significantly underinflated.
The TPMS malfunction indicator will illu-
minate after it blinks for approximately
one minute when there is a problem with
the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.
If this occurs, we recommend that the
system be checked by an authorised Kia
dealer.
For more details, refer to the TPMS in section 6.
The low tyre pressure position telltale
illuminates on the LCD display.
Engine oil pressure warn-ing
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.
WARNING - Safe stopping
• The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and sudden tyre damage caused by external factors.
• If you notice any vehicle instabili- ty, immediately take your foot offthe accelerator pedal, apply thebrakes gradually and with lightforce, and slowly move to a safeposition off the road.
CAUTION
If the engine does not stop immedi-
ately after the engine oil pressurewarning light is illuminated, severe
damage could result.

Engine oil level warninglight (if equipped, for diesel)
The engine oil level warning light illumi-
nates when the engine oil level should be
checked.
If the warning light comes on, check the
engine oil level as soon as possible andadd engine oil as required.
Slowly pour the recommended oil little by
little into a funnel. (Oil refill capacity :
approximately 0.6 ~ 1.0 l)
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to "Recommended lubricants and capac-ities" in section 8.)
Do not overfill the engine oil to ensure
the oil level is not above F mark on the
dipstick.
✽NOTICE
• If you travel approximately 50 km~100 km after the engine warms
up, after adding the engine oil, the
warning light will go off.
• Cycle the ignition from OFF to ON 3
times within 10 seconds, the warning
light will go off immediately. However,
when you turn off the warning light
without adding the engine oil, the light
will come on again after travelling
approximately 50 km ~ 100 km after
the engine warms up.CAUTION
If the oil pressure warning light
stays on whilst the engine is run- ning, serious engine damage may result. 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 is
running, there is a serious malfunc- tion.
If this happens, stop the car as soonas it is safe to do so, turn off theengine and check the oil level. If theoil level is low, fill the engine oil to the proper level and start the engine again. If the light stays on with the
engine running, turn the engine offimmediately. In any instance where the oil light stays on when the engine is running, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorised Kia dealer.
CAUTION
If the light comes on continuously after adding the engine oil and trav-elling approximately 50 km~100 km
after the engine warms up, we rec-
ommend that the system be checkedby an authorised Kia dealer.
Even if this light doesn't come onafter the engine has started, the
engine oil should be checked and
supplied periodically.

Operation Tips
• To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the vehicle through the venti-
lation system, temporarily set the air
intake control to the recirculated air
position. Be sure to return the control
to the fresh air position when the irrita-
tion has passed to keep fresh air in the
vehicle. This will help keep the driver
alert and comfortable.
• Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn in through the grilles just ahead
of the windscreen. Care should be
taken that these are not blocked by
leaves, snow, ice or other obstructions.
• To prevent interior fog on the wind- screen, set the air intake control to the
fresh air position and fan speed to the
desired position, turn on the air condi- tioning system, and adjust the temper-
ature control to desired temperature.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 bonnet. Refer to sec-
tion 8 for more detail location of air
conditioning refrigerant label.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 salvagedvehicle and new replacement MAC evaporators shall be certi-fied (and labeled) as meeting SAE
Standard J2842.

• When using the air conditioning sys- tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely whilst 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

Driving your vehicle
WARNING- ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the win-
dows immediately.
• Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colourless, odourless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyx- iation.
Be sure the exhaust system does not leak. The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear
a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the vehicle, we rec-
ommend that the system be checked by an authorised Kia dealer.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your
garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the vehicle out.
Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle. If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the vehicle, be sure to do so only in an open a rea
with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
If you must drive with the tailgate/boot open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windscre en
are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
