Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate in a frontal collision depending on
the intensity, speed or angles ofimpact of the front collision.
OKH032083
(Continued)
Problems may arise if the sen-
sor installation angles are
changed due to the deforma-
tion of the front bumper, body,
front door or C pillar where
the collision sensors are
installed. We recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Your vehicle has been designed to absorb impact
and deploy the air bag(s) in
certain collisions. Installing
aftermarket bumper guards or
replacing a bumper with non-
genuine parts may adversely
affect your vehicles collision
and air bag deployment per-
formance.WARNING
Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where
air bags or sensors areinstalled.
This may cause unexpected
air bag deployment, whichcould result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
If the installation location or angle of the sensors is altered
in any way, the air bags may
deploy when they should not
or they may not deploy when
they should, causing severe
injury or death.
Therefore, do not try to per-
form maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors.
We recommend that the sys-
tem be serviced by an author-
ized Kia dealer.

❈The actual air bags in the vehicle may dif-
fer from the illustration. Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are designed to inflate when an impact is
detected by side collision sensorsdepending on the strength, speed orangles of impact resulting from aside impact collision.
Although the front air bags (driver’s
and front passenger’s air bags) aredesigned to inflate only in frontal col-
lisions, they also may inflate in othertypes of collisions if the front impactsensors detect a sufficient impact.
Side and curtain air bags aredesigned to inflate only in side
impact collisions, but they may inflatein other collisions if the side impactsensors detect a sufficient impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads, the air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on
surfaces not designed for vehicle
traffic to prevent unintended air bag
deployment.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
In certain low-speed collisions the
air bags may not deploy. The air
bags are designed not to deploy in
such cases because they may not
provide benefits beyond the pro-tection of the seat belts in such col-
lisions.

Frontal air bags are not designed
to inflate in rear collisions, because
occupants are moved backward by
the force of the impact. In this case,
inflated air bags would not be able
to provide any additional benefit. Front air bags may not inflate in
side impact collisions, because
occupants move to the direction ofthe collision, and thus in side
impacts, frontal air bag deployment
would not provide additional occu-pant protection.
However, side impact and curtain
air bags may inflate depending on
the intensity, vehicle speed andangles of impact. In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in
a direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any addition-
al benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.

Safety features of your vehicle
Just before impact, drivers oftenbrake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"under-ride" situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “under-ride” colli-
sions. Air bags may not inflate in rollover
accidents because the vehicle can
not detect rollover accident.
However, side and/or curtain air
bags may inflate when the vehicle
is rolled over following (or after)side impact collision. Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-
cle collides with objects such as util-
ity poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area
and the full force of the impact is not
delivered to the sensors.

Features of your vehicle
Inside rearview mirror
Adjust the rearview mirror to center
on the view through the rear window.
Make this adjustment before you
start driving.Electric chromic mirror (ECM)
The electric chromic mirror automati- cally controls the glare from the head-
lights of the car behind you in night-
time or low light driving conditions. Thesensor mounted in the mirror senses
the light level around the vehicle, andautomatically controls the headlight
glare from vehicles behind you.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror.Whenever the shift lever is shifted
into R (Reverse), the mirror will auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle.
MIRRORS
CAUTION
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar materialdampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleanerdirectly on the mirror as thatmay cause the liquid cleaner toenter the mirror housing.WARNING - Rear visibility
Do not place objects in the rear
seat or cargo area which would
interfere with your vision
through the rear window.
WARNING
Do not modify the inside mirror
and don’t install a wide mirror. It
could result in injury, during an
accident or deployment of the
air bag.

Remote control
The electric remote control mirror
switch allows you to adjust the posi-
tion of the left and right outside
rearview mirrors. To adjust the posi-
tion of either mirror, press the R or L
button (1) to select the right side mir-
ror or the left side mirror, then press
a corresponding point ( ) on themirror adjustment control to position
the selected mirror up, down, left or
right. After adjustment, press the R or L
button again to prevent the inadver-tent adjustment.
Electric chromic mirror (ECM) (if equipped)
The electric chromic mirror automati- cally controls the glare from the head-
lights of the car behind you in night-
time or low light driving conditions. Thesensor mounted in the mirror senses
the light level around the vehicle, andautomatically controls the headlight
glare from vehicles behind you.
When the engine is running, the glare
is automatically controlled by the sen-
sor mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted
into R (Reverse), the mirror will auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle. If the ECM of
inside rear view mirror operates, it
will be working
OKH042048
CAUTION
The mirrors stop moving when they reach the maximumadjusting angles, but the motor continues to operatewhile the switch is pressed.Do not press the switch longer than necessary, the motormay be damaged.
Do not attempt to adjust the outside rearview mirror byhand. Doing so may damage the parts.
CAUTION
When cleaning the mirror, use apaper towel or similar materialdampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleanerdirectly on the mirror as thatmay cause the liquid cleaner toenter the mirror housing.

The parking assist system assists
the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object issensed within the distance of 60 cm(24 in.) in front and 100 cm (39 in.)
behind the vehicle.This system is a supplemental sys-tem and it is not intended to nor does
it replace the need for extreme care
and attention of the driver.
The sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are limit-
ed. Whenever moving pay as muchattention to what is in front and
behind of you as you would in a vehi-
cle without a parking assist system.
Operation of the parking assist system
Operating condition
This system activates when the
parking assist button is pressed
with the ignition switch ON.
The parking assist button turns on automatically and activates the
parking assist system when you
shift the gear to the R (Reverse)
position. It will turn off automatical-
ly when you shift out of R (Reverse)
and drive above 20 km/h.
PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM
WARNING
The parking assist system
should only be considered as a
supplementary function. The
driver must check the front and
rear view. The operational func-tion of the parking assist system
can be affected by many factors
and conditions of the surround-
ings, so the responsibility rests
always with the driver.

The sensing distance while back-
ing up is approximately 100 cm (39
in.) when you are driving less than10 km/h.
The sensing distance while moving forward is approximately 60 cm (24
in.) when you are driving less than10 km/h.
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
✽✽ NOTICE
It may not operate if it’s distance
from the object is already less than
approximately 25 cm when the sys-
tem is ON.

✽NOTICE
The indicator may differ from the illustration as objects or sensors status.
If the indicator blinks, we recommend that the system be checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.
