4USING THE USB DEVICE To use an external USB device,
make sure the device is not con-
nected when starting up the
vehicle. Connect the device after
starting up.
 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.
2) It can only play WMA music files with the compression
rate between 8Kbps ~
320Kbps.
 Take precautions for static elec- tricity when connecting or discon-
necting the external USB device.
(Continued)(Continued)
 An encrypted MP3 PLAYER is
not recognizable.
 Depending on the condition of the external USB device, the
connected external USB device
can be unrecognizable.
 When the formatted byte/sector setting of External USB device is
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)
 Depending on the type and capacity of the external USB
device or the type of the files
stored in the device, there is a
difference in the time taken for
recognition of the device.
 Do not use the USB device for purposes other than playing
music files.
 Playing videos through the USB is not supported.
 Use of USB accessories such as rechargers or heaters using USB
I/F may lower performance or
cause trouble.

Driving your vehicle45
WARNING
- Driving
under the influence of
alcohol or drugs
Drinking and driving is danger-
ous. Drunk driving is the num-
ber one contributor to the high-
way death toll each year. Even a
small amount of alcohol will
affect your reflexes, percep-
tions and judgment. Driving
while under the influence of
drugs is as dangerous or more
dangerous than driving drunk.
You are much more likely to
have a serious accident if you
drink or take drugs and drive.
If you are drinking or taking
drugs, don’t drive. Do not ride
with a driver who has been
drinking or taking drugs.
Choose a designated driver or
call a cab.
WARNING
All passengers must be proper-
ly belted whenever the vehicle
is moving. Refer to “Seat belts”
in chapter 3 for more informa-
tion on their proper use.
WARNING
Always check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for peo-
ple, especially children, before
putting a vehicle into D (Drive)
or R (Reverse).
WARNING
 When you intend to park or
stop the vehicle with the
engine on, be careful not to
depress the accelerator pedal
for a long period of time. It
may overheat the engine or
exhaust system and ignite a
fire.
 When you make a sudden stop or turn the steering
wheel rapidly, loose objects
may drop on the floor and it
could interfere with the opera-
tion of the foot pedals, possi-
bly causing an accident. Keep
all things in the vehicle safely
stored.
 If you do not focus on driving, it may cause an accident. Be
careful when operating what
may disturb driving such as
audio or heater. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always drive safely.

Maintenance87At least monthly: Check the coolant level in theengine coolant reservoir.
 Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flash-
ers.
 Check the inflation pressures of all tires including the spare.At least twice a year
(i.e., every Spring and Fall): Check the radiator, heater and air conditioning hoses for leaks or
damage.
 Check the windshield washer spray and wiper operation. Clean
the wiper blades with clean cloth
dampened with washer fluid.
 Check the headlight alignment.
 Check the muffler, exhaust pipes, shields and clamps.
 Check the lap/shoulder belts for wear and function.
 Check for worn tires and loose wheel lug nuts.
At least once a year: Clean the body and door drainholes.
 Lubricate the door hinges and checks, and hood hinges.
 Lubricate the door and hood locks and latches.
 Lubricate the door rubber weather- strips.
 Check the air conditioning system.
 Inspect and lubricate the automat- ic transaxle linkage and controls.
 Clean the battery and terminals.
 Check the brake fluid 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 and L 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, but do not over-
fill. If frequent additions are required,
see an authorized Kia dealer for a
cooling system inspection.
Recommended engine coolant When adding coolant, use only
deionized water or soft water for
your vehicle and never mix hard
water in the coolant filled at the fac-
tory. An improper coolant mixture
can result in serious malfunction or
engine damage.
 The engine in your vehicle has alu- minum engine parts and must be
protected by an ethylene-glycol-
based coolant to prevent corrosion
and freezing.
 DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol coolant or mix them with the spec-
ified coolant.
 Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze or less
than 35% antifreeze, which would
reduce the effectiveness of the
solution.
WARNING
The electric motor
(cooling fan) is con-
trolled by the engine
coolant temperature,
refrigerant pressure
and vehicle speed. It may some-
times operate even when the
engine is not running. Use
extreme caution when working
near the blades of the cooling
fan so that you are not injured
by a rotating fan blades. As the
engine coolant temperature
decreases, the electric motor
will automatically shut off. This
is a normal condition.
If your vehicle is equipped with
GDI, the electric motor (cooling
fan) may operate until you dis-
connect the negative battery
cable.
