ECS controls the vehicle suspension
automatically to maximize passenger
comfort by using the air spring in thesuspension.
You can also control the vehicle sus-
pension manually in NORMAL mode
or HIGH mode.To control the vehicle height
Push the vehicle height control but-
ton to select the HIGH mode that
makes the vehicle height be higherthan the NORMAL mode and the
indicator light on the vehicle height
control button will illuminate. It isuseful in a rough road.
Push the vehicle height control but- ton again to select the NORMAL
mode that makes the vehicle
height lower than the HIGH mode.
The indicator light in the vehicle
height control button will go off.
When the vehicle stops with the shift lever in P(Park) or N(Neutral),
you may change the vehicle height.
When you drive under 70km/h, you may select the HIGH mode.
If the vehicle speed exceeds 70km/h while driving in the HIGH
mode, the NORMAL mode will be
selected automatically.
If the vehicle speed exceeds 120km/h while driving in NORMAL
mode, the LOW mode that is lowerthan NORMAL mode will be select-
ed automatically. LOW mode can
not be selected manually. When you drive under 80km/h in
the LOW mode, the NORMAL
mode will be selected automatically.
When the engine start/stop button is turned off with the HIGH modeselected, the HIGH mode will bemaintained.
It is to prevent damage under the
vehicle when parked in rough roads.
The height of the vehicle may be adjusted after the engine start/stop
button is turned off for
2hours/5hours/10hours.
It is to compensate vehicle height
affected by outside temperature.
✽✽
NOTICE
When you drive over 70km/h, you may not select the HIGH mode.
Do not operate ECS when the air filter of the compressor in the
lower part of the vehicle sinks
under the water.
Indraft of water into the compres-
sor may happen, and ECS may not
operate normally.

ECS (electronic controlled suspension) malfunction indi-cator The ECS malfunction indicator will
illuminate when the engine start/stop
button is turned to the ON position,
but should go off after approximately
3 seconds. If the warning light does
not come on, or continuously
remains on after coming on for about
3 seconds when you turn the engine
start/stop button to the ON position,
the ECS is not working properly. If ECS malfunction indicator comes
on while driving, ECS is not working
properly. We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
The ECS malfunction indicator may illuminate when the ESC indicatorcomes on to indicate that the ESC is
not working properly, but it does not
indicate malfunction of the ECS.
✽✽
NOTICE
Make sure there are no objects under the vehicle before changing
the vehicle height.
A click sound may be heard while operating ECS, but these condi-
tions are normal and indicate that
ECS is functioning properly.
Depending on the outside temper- ature the vehicle height may be
different.
When the vehicle is parked with one side of the vehicle lifted or vehicle
speed is suddenly accelerated/decel-
erated or the steering wheel is sud-
denly turned, the height may not
temporarily be adjusted. This is to
protect the system. (Continued)(Continued)
When one side of the vehicle was
lifted with a jack, the height may
not temporarily be adjusted. The
ECS will operate normally when
the engine is turned on again or
when the vehicle is accelerated.
When the vehicle is not driven for a long period of time, vehicle
height may get low. The ECS will
operate normally when the engine
is turned on.
✽
✽
NOTICE
If the battery is discharged, the ECS malfunction indicator may
illuminate to protect the system.
When the height is adjusted repeatedly, the height may not
temporarily be adjusted for the
compressor overheats. This is to
prevent damage to related parts.
