Driving your vehicle
Warning type
If an approaching vehicle detected bysensors, the warning is chime and the
warning light will blink on the outside
rearview mirror.
If the detected vehicle is out of detec- tion range, moving away in the oppo-
site direction or moving slow, the warn-ing is cancelled.
The system may not be operating properly due to other factors or circum-
stances, so always pay attention to
your surrounding.
❈ If the bumper on either side is blocked
by a barrier or vehicles, the system
sensing ability may be deteriorated.
WARNING
The warning light on the outside rearview mirror will illuminate
whenever a vehicle is detected at
the rear side by the system.
To avoid accidents, do not focus
only on the warning light and neg-
lect to see the surrounding of the
vehicle.
Drive safely even though the vehi- cle is equipped with a BSD (Blind
spot detection) system. Do not
solely rely on the system but check
for yourself before changing lanes.
The system may not alert the driver
in some conditions so always check
the surroundings while driving.CAUTION
The system may not work proper-
ly if the bumper has been replacedor if a repair work has been donenear the sensor.
The detection area differs accord- ing to the roads width. If the roadis narrow the system may detectother vehicles in the second next lane.
On the contrary, if the road is very wide the system may not detectother vehicles in the next lane.
The system might be turned off due to strong electromagneticwaves.

Remember, your vehicle does not
require extended warm-up. After the
engine has started, allow the engine to
run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to plac-
ing the vehicle in gear. In very cold
weather, however, give your engine a
slightly longer warm-up period.
Do not "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too
high a gear resulting engine bucking. If
this happens, shift to a lower gear.
Over-revving is racing the engine
beyond its safe limit. This can be avoid-
ed by shifting at the recommended
speeds.
Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is operat-
ed by engine power so your fuel econ-
omy is reduced when you use it.
Open windows at high speeds can reduce fuel economy.
Fuel economy is less in crosswinds and headwinds. To help offset some of
this loss, slow down when driving in
these conditions. Keeping a vehicle in good operating con-
dition is important both for economy and
safety. We recommend in general that the
vehicle be serviced by an authorized Kia
dealer.
WARNING
- Engine off dur-
ing motion
Never turn the engine off to coast
down hills or anytime the vehicle is
in motion. The power steering and
power brakes will not function
properly without the engine run-
ning. Instead, keep the engine on
and downshift to an appropriate
gear for engine braking effect. In
addition, turning off the ignition
while driving could engage the
steering wheel lock (if equipped)
resulting in loss of vehicle steering
which could cause serious injuryor death.
