Features of your vehicle
The Back up warning system assists
the driver during backward move-
ment of the vehicle by chiming if any
object is sensed within a distance of
120 cm (47 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 sens-
ing range and objects detectable by
the back sensors are limited.
Whenever backing-up, pay as much
attention to what is behind you as
you would in a vehicle without a Back
up warning system.Operation of the Back up
warning system
Operating condition
This system will activate whenbacking up with the ignition switch
ON.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 10 km/h (6 mph), the system
may not be activated correctly.
BACK UP WARNING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
The back up warning system is
a supplementary function only.
The operation of the Back up
warning system can be affected
by several factors (including
environmental conditions). It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always check the area behind
the vehicle before and while
backing up.

WARNING- Back up
Warning System
Never rely solely on the parking
assist system when backing up.
Always perform a visual inspec-
tion to make sure the vehicle is
clear of all obstructions before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion. Stop immediately if you are
aware of a child anywhere near
your vehicle.Some objects may
not be detected by the sensors,
due to the object's size or mate-
rial.

This system will activate when the
indicator on the rear parking assist
OFF button is not illuminated. If
you desire to deactivate the Back
up warning system, press the rear
parking assist OFF button. (The
indicator on the button will illumi-
nate.) To turn the system on, press
the button again. (The indicator on
the button will go off.)
The sensing distance while the Back up warning system is in oper-
ation is approximately 120 cm (47
in.).
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.Types of warning sound
When an object is 120 cm to 81 cm(47 in. to 32 in.) from the rear
bumper: Buzzer beeps intermit-
tently.
When an object is 80 cm to 41 cm (31 in. to 16 in.) from the rear
bumper: Buzzer beeps more fre-
quently.
When an object is within 40 cm (15 in.) of the rear bumper:
Buzzer sounds continuously.
Non-operational conditions of
Back up warning system
The Back up warning system may
not operate properly when:
1.Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (Itwill operate normally when the
moisture has been cleared.)
2.The sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or
the sensor cover is blocked. (It will
operate normally when the materi-
al is removed or the sensor is no
longer blocked.)
3.Driving on uneven road surfaces (unpaved roads, gravel, bumps,
gradient).
4.Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motorcy-
cle engines, or truck air brakes) are
within range of the sensor.
5.Heavy rain or water spray exists.
6.Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are within range of the
sensor.
7.The sensor is covered with snow.
8.Trailer towing

What to do in an emergency
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILE DRIVING
F020100AUN-EU
If the engine stalls at a cross-
road or crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, set the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the
vehicle to a safe place.
F020200AUN
If you have a flat tire while
driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing:
1.Take your foot off the acceleratorpedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-
ately or attempt to pull off the road
as this may cause a loss of control.
When the vehicle has slowed to
such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully and pull off the
road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on a firm level
ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes. 2.When the vehicle is stopped, turn
on your emergency hazard flash-
ers, set the parking brake and put
the transaxle in P (Park, automatic
transaxle) or reverse (manual
transaxle).
3.Have all passengers get out of the vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the car that is away from
traffic.
4.When changing a flat tire, follow the instruction provided later in this
section.
F020300AUN
If the engine stalls while driv-
ing
1.Reduce your speed gradually,keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
2.Turn on your emergency flashers.
3.Try to start the engine again. If your vehicle will not start, contact an
authorized Kia dealer or seek other
qualified assistance.

F030100AAM
If engine doesn't turn over or
turns over slowly
1.If your car has an automatictransaxle, be sure the shift lever is
in N (Neutral) or P (Park) and the
emergency brake is set.
2.Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
3.Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is dis-
charged.
4.Check the starter connections to be sure they are securely tight-
ened.
5.Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it. See instructions for "Jump
starting".
F030200AHM
If engine turns over normally
but does not start
1.Check the fuel level.
2.With the ignition switch in theLOCK position, check all connec-
tors at the ignition coils and spark
plugs. Reconnect any that may be
disconnected or loose.
3.Check the fuel line in the engine compartment.
4.If the engine still does not start, call an authorized Kia dealer or seek
other qualified assistance.
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
WARNING- Push/pullstart
Do not push or pull the vehicle
to start it. Push or pull starting
may cause the catalytic con-
verter to overload and create a
fire hazard.

What to do in an emergency
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
F050000AAM
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss
of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine will probably be
too hot. If this happens, you should:
1.Pull off the road and stop as soonas it is safe to do so.
2.Place the shift lever in P (Park, automatic transaxle) or Neutral
(manual transaxle) and set the
parking brake. If the air condition-
ing is on, turn it off.
3.If engine coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is com-
ing out from underneath the hood,
stop the engine. Do not open the
hood until the coolant has stopped
running or the steaming has
stopped. If there is no visible loss
of engine coolant and no steam,
leave the engine running and
check to be sure the engine cool-
ing fan is operating. If the fan is not
running, turn the engine off. 4.Check to see if the water pump
drive belt is missing. If it is not
missing, check to see that it is
tight. If the drive belt seems to be
satisfactory, check for coolant leak-
ing from the radiator, hoses or
under the vehicle. (If the air condi-
tioning had been in use, it is nor-
mal for cold water to be draining
from it when you stop).
5.If the water pump drive belt is bro- ken or engine coolant is leaking
out, stop the engine immediately
and call the nearest authorized Kia
dealer for assistance. 6.If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,
carefully add coolant to the reser-
voir to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7.Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again,
call an authorized Kia dealer for
assistance.
Serious loss of coolant indicates
there is a leak in the cooling system
and this should be checked as soon
as possible by an authorized Kia
dealer.
WARNING- Under the hood
While the engine is running,
keep hair, hands and clothing
away from moving parts such
as the fan and drive belts to pre-
vent injury.
WARNING- Radiator cap
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. This
may result in coolant being
blown out of the opening and
cause serious burns.
