on a flat road surface.
✽✽ NOTICE
 When operating the vehicle on a dynamometer, ensure that the

it may prevent the vehicle speed
from increasing, and result in false
diagnosis.
 Turning the ESC off does not affect ABS or brake system operation.

Driving your vehicle
Do not "ride" the brake pedal.Resting your foot on the brake
pedal while driving can be danger-ous because it can result in the
brakes overheating and losing their
effectiveness. It also increases the
wear of the brake components.
If a tire goes flat while you are driv- ing, apply the brakes gently and
keep the car pointed straight
ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it
to be safe to do so, pull off the road
and stop in a safe place.
If your car is equipped with an automatic transmission, don't let
your car creep forward. To avoid
creeping forward, keep your foot
firmly on the brake pedal when thecar is stopped. Be cautious when parking on a hill.
Firmly engage the parking brake
and place the shift lever in P (Park).
If your car is facing downhill, turnthe front wheels into the curb to
help keep the car from rolling. If
your car is facing uphill, turn the
front wheels away from the curb to
help keep the car from rolling. If
there is no curb or if it is required by
other conditions to keep the car
from rolling, block the wheels.
Under some conditions your park- ing brake can freeze in the
engaged position. This is most like-ly to happen when there is an accu-
mulation of snow or ice around or
near the rear brakes or if the brakes
are wet. If there is a risk that the
parking brake may freeze, apply it
only temporarily while you put the
shift lever in P (P ark) and block the
rear wheels so the car cannot roll.
Then release the parking brake. Do not hold the vehicle on the
upgrade with the accelerator
pedal. This can cause the trans-
mission to overheat. Always use
the brake pedal or parking brake.

AVSM detects the distance from the
vehicle ahead with the sensor, to
warn you before collision and protect
you in certain hazardous situations
by using warning message, warning
sound and seat belt vibration. ❈ The seat belt vibration is a option-
al function.
If the AVSM senses the objectahead too near the vehicle and if dri-
ver's operating of the brake pedal or
the steering wheel should be need-
ed, the warning light illuminates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
If the AVSM senses more danger- ous, the warning sound also oper-
ates and the seat belt vibrates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
❈ The seat belt vibration is a option-
al function.
ADVANCED VEHICLE SAFTY MANAGMENT (AVSM) (IF EQUIPPED)CAUTION
Always check the road condi-
tions to prevent danger even ifthe warning light does not illu-minate, the warning sound does not operate or the acceleratorpedal/seat belt does not vibrate.

AEB Operation
Warning message
A warning message and chime will
sound when you need to use the
brake pedal or steering wheel due to a
sudden stop or lack of distance with
the vehicle ahead. The warning mes-
sages will vary according to the sever-
ity of the situation. Immediately reduce
your speed to prevent a collision.Brake operation
In a critical situation:
The brake assist system enters
standby mode to react promptly
when the driver operates the brakepedal.
The vehicle automatically reduces speed according to the severity ofthe situation.
- Rapidly reduces speed whenvehicle speed is under 80km/h
- Slowly reduces speed when vehi- cle speed is over 80km/h
If the driver uses the brake pedal to reduce vehicle speed, the brake
assist system operates to increase
braking efficiency.
If the driver presses down hard on the accelerator pedal or sharply
turns the steering wheel, the brakeassist system is canceled.

ECS (electronic controlled suspension) malfunction
warning message
If the ECS warning message may
come on, you may have a problem
with the ECS system. We recom-
mend that the system be checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.✽✽
NOTICE
 Make sure there are no objects under the vehicle before changing
the vehicle height.
 A click sound may be heard while operating ECS, but these condi-
tions are normal and indicate that
ECS is functioning properly.
 Depending on the outside temper- ature the vehicle height may be
different.
 When the vehicle is parked with one side of the vehicle lifted or vehicle
speed is suddenly accelerated/decel-
erated or the steering wheel is sud-
denly turned, the height may not
temporarily be adjusted. This is to
protect the system.
 When one side of the vehicle was lifted with a jack, the height may
not temporarily be adjusted. The
ECS will operate normally when
the engine is turned on again or
when the vehicle is accelerated.
 When the vehicle is not driven for a long period of time, vehicle
height may get low. The ECS will
operate normally when the engine
is turned on. ✽✽

NOTICE
 If the battery is discharged, the ECS warning message may comes
on to protect the system.
 When the height is adjusted repeatedly, the height may not
temporarily be adjusted for the
compressor overheats. This is to
prevent damage to related parts.
