of the engine coolant when the igni-
tion switch is ON.

heated engine. If your vehicle over-
heats, refer to “If the engine over-
heats” in section 6.

Warnings and indicators
All warning lights are checked by
turning the ignition switch ON (do not
start the engine). Any light that does
not illuminate should be checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.
After starting the engine, check to
make sure that all warning lights are
off. If any warning lights are still on,
this indicates a situation that needs
attention. When releasing the park-
ing brake, the brake system warning
light should go off. The fuel warning
light will stay on if the fuel level is low.
Air bag warning light
This warning light will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds each time
you turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.
This light also comes on when the
Supplement Restraint System (SRS)
is not working properly. If the air bag
warning light does not come on, or
continuously remains on after oper-
ating for about 6 seconds when you
turned the ignition switch to the ON
position or started the engine, or if it
comes on while driving, have the
SRS inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
Anti-lock brake system(ABS) warning light (if equipped)
This warning light illuminates if the
ignition switch is turned ON and goes
off in approximately 3 seconds if the
system is operating normally.
If the ABS warning light remains on,
comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, this indi-
cates that the ABS may have mal-
functioned.
If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia dealer
as soon as possible. The normal
braking system will still be opera-
tional, but without the assistance of
the anti-lock brake system.
