FM reception
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehi-
cle. This signal is then received by
the radio and sent to your vehicle
speakers.
When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise
engineering of your audio system
ensures the best possible quality
reproduction. However, in some
cases the signal coming to your vehi-
cle may not be strong and clear. This can be due to factors, such as
the distance from the radio station,
closeness of other strong radio sta-
tions or the presence of buildings,
bridges or other large obstructions inthe area.

NOTICE - Usingthe USB
Devices
 Connect the USB device after turning on the engine. The USB
device may become damaged if it
is already connected when the
ignition is turned on. The USB
device may not operate properly if
the car ignition is turned on or off
with the USB device connected.
 Be careful for static electricity when connecting/disconnecting
USB devices.
 Encoded MP3 Players will not be recognized when connected as an
external device.
 When connecting an external USB device, the vehicle's audio system
may not recognize the USB
depending on what firmware is
used by USB device or what files
are on the USB.
 Only products formatted with byte/sectors under 64Kbyte will be
recognized.
 This device recognizes USB devices formatted in FAT 12/16/32
file formats. This device does not
recognize files in NTFS file for-mat. (Continued)(Continued)
 Some USB devices may not be sup-
ported due to compatibility issues.
 Avoid contact between the USB connector and bodily parts or for-
eign objects.
 Repeated connecting/disconnect- ing of USB devices within short
periods of time may result in prod-
uct malfunction.
 A strange noise may occur when disconnecting the USB.
 Make sure to connect/disconnect external USB devices with the
audio power turned off.
 The amount of time required to recognize the USB device may dif-
fer depending on the type, size or
file formats stored on the USB.
Such differences in time are not
indications of malfunctions.
 The vehicle audio system only sup- ports USB devices designed to
play music files.
 USB images and videos are not supported. (Continued)(Continued)
 Do not use the USB I/F to charge
batteries or USB accessories that
generate heat. Doing so may lead
to worsened performance or dam-
age to the audio system.
 The audio system may not recog- nize the USB device if separately
purchased USB hubs and exten-
sion cables are being used.
Connect the USB device directly
with the USB port of the vehicle.
 When using mass storage USB devices with separate logical
drives, only files saved to the root
drive can be played.
 Files may not properly operate if application programs are installed
on the USBs.
 The audio system may not operate normally if MP3 Players, cellular
phones, digital cameras, or other
electronic devices (USB devices
not recognized as portable disk
drives) are connected with the
audio system. (Continued)

Driving your vehicle
WARNING- ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle,
open the windows immediately.
• Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death
by asphyxiation.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose.
If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side
of the vehicle, we recommend that the system be checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the
engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the vehicle out.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the vehicle, be sure to do so only in
an open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn
into the interior.
If you must drive with the tailgate/trunk open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the
windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
