Introduction
For more information on TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline, please go to the
website (www.toptiergas.com)
For customers who do not use TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline regularly,
and have problems starting or the
engine does not run smoothly, addi-
tives that you can buy separately
may be added to the gasoline.
If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is
not available, one bottle of additive
should be added to the fuel tank at
every 12,000 km or every engine oil
change is recommended. Additives
are available from your authorized
Kia dealer along with information on
how to use them. Do not mix other
additives.
Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle
in another country, be sure to:
Observe all regulations regardingregistration and insurance.
Determine that acceptable fuel is available. As with other vehicles of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle correct-
ly may result in loss of control, an
accident or vehicle rollover.
Specific design characteristics (high-
er ground clearance, track, etc.) give
this vehicle a higher center of gravity
than other types of vehicles. In other
words they are not designed for cor-
nering at the same speeds as con-
ventional 2-wheel drive vehicles.
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu-
vers. Again, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control, an accident or vehicle
rollover.
Be sure to read the
“Reducing the risk of a rollover”
driving guidelines, in section 5 of
this manual. No special break-in period is need-
ed. By following a few simple precau-
tions for the first 1,000 km (600
miles) you may add to the perform-
ance, economy and life of your vehi-
cle.
Do not race the engine.
While driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is
needed to properly break-in the
engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emer- gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) of opera-
tion.

✽
✽NOTICE
When the sliding doors are opened
manually (power OFF), more effort
will be required to open and close
than on non-power sliding doors.
✽ ✽NOTICE
• The power sliding door and power
tailgate can be operated when the
engine is not running. However
the power operation consumes
large amounts of vehicle electric
power. To prevent the battery
from being discharged, do not
operate them excessively.
• To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the power
sliding door and power tailgate at
open position for a long lime.
• Do not apply excessive force while operating the power sliding door
or power tailgate. This could cause
damage to the power sliding door
or power tailgate.
• When jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehicle, do
not operate the power sliding door
or power tailgate. This could cause
the power sliding door or power tail-
gate to operate improperly.
Automatic stop and reversal
If the power opening or closing is
blocked by an object or part of the
body, the power sliding door and
power tailgate will detect the resist-
ance, then the chime will sound 3
times, and stop movement or move
to the full open position to allow the
object to be cleared.
However, if the resistance is weak
such as an object that is thin or soft,
or the door is near latched position,
the automatic stop and reversal may
not detect the resistance and closing
operation will continue. Also, if the
power sliding door or power tailgate
is forced by strong impact, the auto-
matic stop and reversal may operate.
If the automatic stop and reversal
feature operates continuously more
than twice during one opening or
closing operation, the power sliding
door or power tailgate may stop at
that position. At this time, close the
doors manually and operate the door
automatically again.
