Anti-lock brake system (ABS) The ABS continuously senses the
speed of the wheels. If the wheels
are going to lock, the ABS system
repeatedly modulates the hydraulic
brake pressure to the wheels.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the wheels,
you may hear a “tik-tik’’ sound from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sensa-
tion in the brake pedal. This is normal
and it means your ABS is active.
In order to obtain the maximum ben-
efit from your ABS in an emergencysituation, do not attempt to modulate
your brake pressure and do not try to
pump your brakes. Press your brake
pedal as hard as possible or as hard
as the situation warrants and allow
the ABS to control the force being
delivered to the brakes.
✽✽
NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the vehi-
cle begins to move after the engine is
started. These conditions are normal
and indicate that the anti-lock brake
system is functioning properly.
(Continued)
On roads where the road sur- face is pitted or has different surface height.
The safety features of an ABS
(or ESC) equipped vehicle
should not be tested by high
speed driving or cornering. This
could endanger the safety of
yourself or others.
WARNING
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent
accidents due to improper or
dangerous driving maneuvers.
Even though vehicle control is
improved during emergency
braking, always maintain a safe
distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced dur-
ing extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for vehicle
equipped with an anti-lock brak-
ing system (or Electronic
Stability Control) may be longer
than for those without it in the
following road conditions. During these conditions the
vehicle should be driven atreduced speeds:
Rough, gravel or snow-cov- ered roads.
With tire chains installed. (Continued)

Driving your vehicle
The Air Leveling System improves
driving stability and riding comfort
with continuous maintenance of vehi-cle height regardless of the load and
number of passengers. The rearheight is controlled automatically and
manually into three modes; Ordinary
driving mode (N), Off road drivingmode (HI) and Loading mode (LO).N (Normal) - Ordinary driving mode
The normal height of the vehicle is maintained. The indicator will illuminate at N
(Normal) on the LCD display.
HI (High) - Off road driving mode
The rear part of the vehicle is lifted to
drive on rough roads such as off-
roads.
With the engine running press the top
part of the switch. The HI (High) mode
activates only when the vehicle is not
moving or the speed is less than 35
km/h (22mph). The indicator blinkswhen the system is adjusting itself to
the HI (High) mode. When the adjust-ment is completed (about 40mm (2
in.) raised) the indicator will illuminate
at HI (High) on the LCD display.

To go to the N (Normal) mode, press
the bottom part of the switch. Also, if
the vehicle speed is over 60 km/h
(38mph) or drives over 10 secondsat the speed of about 45 km/h
(28mph), the vehicle will lower itself
to the N (Normal) mode. LO (Low) - Loading mode
The rear part of the vehicle is low-
ered to make it easy to load or
unload cargo.
With the engine running press the
bottom part of the switch. The LO
(Low) mode activates only when the
vehicle is not moving. The indicator
blinks when the system is adjusting
itself to the LO (Low) mode. Whenthe adjustment is completed (about
40mm (2 in.) lowered) the indicator
will illuminate at LO (Low) on the
LCD display.To go to the N (Normal) mode, press
the top part of the switch. Also, if the
vehicle speed is over 2 km/h (1
mph), the vehicle will lift itself to the
N (Normal) mode.

Maintenance
Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for
any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim widthand offset.Tire traction
Tire traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tires, tires that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces. Tires should be
replaced when tread wear indicators
appear. Slow down whenever there
is rain, snow or ice on the road toreduce the possibility of losing con-
trol of the vehicle. Tire maintenance In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease
tire wear. If you find a tire is worn
unevenly, have your dealer check thewheel alignment.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort and
tire life. Additionally, a tire should
always be rebalanced if it is removedfrom the wheel.(Continued)
Using tires and wheels other
than the recommended sizes
could cause unusual handling
characteristics and poor vehi-
cle control, resulting in a seri-ous accident.
Wheels that do not meet Kia’s specifications may fit poorly
and result in damage to the
vehicle or unusual handling
and poor vehicle control.
The ABS works by comparing the speed of the wheels. The
tire size affects wheel speed.
When replacing tires, all 4 tires
must use the same size origi-
nally supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size
can cause the ABS (Anti-lockBrake System) and ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) to
work irregularly.
WARNING
A wheel that is not the correct
size may adversely affect wheel
and bearing life, braking and
stopping abilities, handling char-
acteristics, ground clearance,
body-to-tire clearance, snow
chain clearance, speedometer
and odometer calibration, head-
light aim and bumper height.
