RCTA (Rear cross traffic alert)
When your vehicle moves backwards
from a parking position, the sensor
detects approaching vehicles to the
left or right side direction and gives
information to the driver.
Operating conditions
Select RCTA (Rear Cross TrafficAlert) in "User Settings" under
"Driving Assist" on the instrument
cluster. The system will turn on and
standby to activate.
Select RCTA again, to turn the sys- tem off.
If the vehicle is turned off and on again, the RCTA system will return
to the state right before the vehicle
was turned off. Always turn the
RCTA system off when not in use.
The system is operated when the vehicle speed is below 10 km/h
(6.2 mph) with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).

✽NOTICE
• The system may not work proper-
ly if the bumper has been replaced
or if repair work has been done
near the sensor.
• The detection area differs accord- ing to the roads width. If the road
is narrow the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane.
• In addition, if the road is very wide the system may not detect
other vehicles.
• The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
Non-operating condition
Driver's Attention
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations for the system may
not detect other vehicles or objects in
certain circumstances.
- Curved roads, tollgates, etc.
- The surrounding of the sensor is
polluted with rain, snow, mud, etc
- The rear bumper near the sensor is covered or hidden with a foreign
matter such as a sticker, bumper
guard, bicycle stand etc.
- The rear bumper is damaged or the sensor is out of place.
- The height of the vehicle is altered such as when the trunk is loaded
with heavy objects, or there is low
tire pressure etc.
- Bad weather such as heavy rain or snow.
- A fixed object is near such as a guardrail, tunnel, human and ani-
mal etc.
- Metal substances are near the vehicles such as in a construction
area. - A big vehicle is near such as a bus
or truck.
- A motorcycle or bicycle is near.
- A flat trailer like vehicle is near.
- If the vehicle has started at the same time as the vehicle next to it
and has accelerated.
- When the other vehicle passes by very fast.
- When changing lanes.
- When going down or up a steep road where the height of the lane is
different.
- When the other vehicle drives at the rear very nearby or drives very
close.
- When a trailer or carrier is installed.
- When the temperature of the rear bumper is high.
- When the sensors are covered by the vehicle, wall or a pillar of park-
ing lot.
- When your vehicle is backing up, if the detected vehicle approaches

Low tire pressure telltale
Low tire pressure position tell-
tale
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated and warning message dis-
played on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. The low tire
pressure position telltale light will
indicate which tire is significantly
under-inflated by illuminating the cor-
responding position light.If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tires to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tire inflation pressure
label located on the driver’s side cen-
ter pillar outer panel.
If you cannot reach a service station
or if the tire cannot hold the newly
added air, replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire.
If you drive the vehicle for about 20
minutes at speeds above 25 km/h
(15 mph) after replacing the low
pressure tire with the spare tire, the
below will happen:
The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illumi-
nated because the TPMS sensor is
not mounted on the spare wheel.
✽ NOTICE
The spare tire is not equipped with a
tire pressure sensor.
In winter or cold weather, the low
tire pressure telltale may be illumi-
nated if the tire pressure was
adjusted to the recommended tire
inflation pressure in warm weather.
It does not mean your TPMS is
malfunctioning because the
decreased temperature leads to a
proportional lowering of tire pres-
sure.
When you drive your vehicle from a warm area to a cold area or from a
cold area to a warm area, or the
outside temperature is greatly
higher or lower, you should check
the tire inflation pressure and
adjust the tires to the recommend-
ed tire inflation pressure.
The tire pressure may vary depending on various factors
including the temperature condi-
tions of parking area, driving condi-
tions and ambient temperature,
altitude above sea level.

Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and Position telltales will
come on. Have the flat tire repaired
by an authorized Kia Premium deal-
er as soon as possible or replace the
flat tire with the spare tire.Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you always have
your tires serviced by an authorized
Kia Premium dealer.
If you drive the vehicle for about 20
minutes at speeds above 25 km/h
(15 mph) after replacing the low
pressure tire with the spare tire, the
below will happen:
The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated because the
TPMS sensor is not mounted on
the spare wheel. You may not be able to identify a tire
with low pressure by simply looking
at it. Always use a good quality tire
pressure gauge to measure. Please
note that a tire that is hot (from being
driven) will have a higher pressure
measurement than a tire that is cold.
A cold tire means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven for
less than 1.6 km (1 mile) in that 3 hour
period.
Allow the tire to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tire is cold before inflating to
the recommended pressure.
Repair Agents
Never use a puncture-repairing
agent not approved by Kia
Premium dealer to repair and/or
inflate a low pressure tire. Tire
sealant not approved by Kia
Premium dealer may damage
the tire pressure sensor.

What to do in an emergency
TOWING
Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorized Kia Premium dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies
or flatbed is recommended.It is acceptable to tow the vehicle
with the front wheels on the ground
(without dollies) and the rear wheels
off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or sus-
pension components are damaged
or the vehicle is being towed with the
rear wheels on the ground, use a
towing dolly under the rear wheels.
When being towed by a commercial
tow truck and wheel dollies are not
used, the rear of the vehicle should
always be lifted, not the front.
Ensure any metal parts on the tie-
down straps do not contact painted
surfaces or the face of the wheels.
Do not place straps over the body panels or through the wheels.

Attaching straps to the chasis,
suspension or other parts of
the body can cause damage.
CAUTION
OKH065027N
Side and curtain air bag
If your vehicle is equipped with
side and curtain air bag, set the
ignition switch to LOCK or ACC
position when the vehicle is
being towed. The side and cur-
tain air bag may deploy when
the ignitions is ON, and the
rollover sensor detects the situ-
ation as a rollover.

2.Replace the air cleaner filter afterpulling up the locking tab (1).
3.Lock the cover with the cover attaching clips. 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. (Refer to“Maintenance under severe usageconditions” in this section.)
OKH073013NAir Filter Maintenance
Do not drive with the air clean- er removed; this will result in
excessive engine wear.
When removing the air clean- er filter, be careful that dust or
dirt does not enter the air
intake, or damage may result.
Use a Kia genuine part. Use of non-genuine parts could dam-
age the air flow sensor.
