returned to the programmed status.
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, it resets to the defog
logic status.Auto defogging system (Only for automatic climate control system,if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the probabil-
ity of fogging up the inside of the
windshield by automatically sensing
the moisture inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is
on. This indicator illuminates
when the auto defogging
system senses the mois-
ture inside the windshield
and operates.
If more moisture is in the vehicle,
higher steps operate as follows. For
example, if auto defogging does not
defog inside the
windshield at step 1 Outside air posi-
tion, it tries to defog again at step 2
Blowing air toward the windshield.
Step 1 : Operating the air conditioning
Step 2 : Outside air position
Step 3 :Blowing air toward the wind-
shield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield

If you start the engine when the USB device is connected, it may
damage the USB device. (USB
flashdrives are very sensitive to
electric shock.)
If the engine is started up or turned off while the external USB
device is connected, the external
USB device may not work.
The System may not play unau- thenticated MP3 or WMA files.
1) It can only play MP3 files with the compression rate
between 8Kbps ~ 320Kbps.

not either 512BYTE or
2048BYTE, then the device will
not be recognized.
Use only a USB device format- ted to FAT 12/16/32.
USB devices without USB I/F authentication may not be recog-
nizable.
Make sure the USB connection terminal does not come in con-
tact with the human body or
other objects.
If you repeatedly connect or dis- connect the USB device in a
short period of time, it may break
the device.
(Continued)(Continued)
You may hear a strange noise
when connecting or disconnect-
ing a USB device.
If you disconnect the external USB device during playback in
USB mode, the external USB
device can be damaged or may
malfunction. Therefore, discon-
nect the external USB device
when the audio is turned off or in
another mode. (e.g, Radio, CD)

ENGINE COOLANT
The high-pressure cooling system
has a reservoir filled with year-round
antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is
filled at the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at
the beginning of the winter season,
and before traveling to a colder cli-
mate.Checking the coolant level
Check the condition and connections
of all cooling system hoses and
heater hoses. Replace any swollen
or deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between F (MAX) and L (MIN) marks
on the side of the coolant reservoir
when the engine is cool.If the coolant level is low, add enough
specified coolant to provide protec-
tion against freezing and corrosion.
Bring the level to F (MAX), but do not
overfill. If frequent coolant addition is
required, see an authorized Kia deal-
er for a cooling system inspection.
WARNING - Cooling fan
Use caution when
working near the
blade of the cooling
fan. The electric
motor (cooling fan) is
controlled by engine coolant
temperature, refrigerant pres-
sure and vehicle speed. It may
sometimes operate even when
the engine is not running.
