2017 KIA BORREGO brake

Introduction
As with other vehicles of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle correct-
ly may result in loss of control, an
accident or vehicle rollover.
Specific design characteristics (high-
er ground clearance, track, etc.) give
this vehicle a higher center of gravity
than other types of vehicles. In other
words they are not designed for cor-
nering at the same speeds as con-
ventional 2-wheel drive vehicles.
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu-
vers. Again, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control, an accident or vehicle
rollover.Be sure to read the
“Reducing the risk of a rollover”
driving guidelines, in chapter 6 of
this manual. No special break-in period is needed.
By following a few simple precautions
for the first 1,000 km (600 miles) you
may add to the performance, econo-
my and life of your vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
While driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is need-
ed to properly break-in the engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emer- gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) of opera-tion.

Safety features of your vehicle
Armrest (2nd row seat)
To use the armrest, pull the strap (1)
forward from the seatback.
Cup holder
To use the cup holder, push the but-
ton (2). Close the cover after use.
CAUTION- Rear seat belts
When returning the rear (2nd
and/or 3rd row) seatbacks to theupright position, remember to return the rear shoulder belts totheir proper position. Routing theseat belt webbing through the rear seat belt guides will helpkeep the belts from being trappedbehind or under the seats.
CAUTION - Damaging
rear seat belt buckles
When you fold the rear (2nd and/or 3rd row) seatback, insertthe buckle in the pocket between the rear seatback and cushion.Doing so can prevent the bucklefrom being damaged by the rear seatback.
WARNING - Cargo
Cargo should always be
secured to prevent it from being
thrown about the vehicle in a
collision and causing injury to
the vehicle occupants. Do notplace objects in the rear (2nd
and/or 3rd row) seats, since they
cannot be properly secured and
may hit the front seat occupantsin a collision.
WARNING - Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the automatic transaxle is in P
(Park), and the parking brake is
securely applied whenever
loading or unloading cargo.
Failure to take these steps may
allow the vehicle to move if the
shift lever is inadvertently
moved to another position.

Safety features of your vehicle
In an angled collision, the force ofimpact may direct the occupants in a direction where the air bags
would not be able to provide anyadditional benefit, and thus the
sensors may not deploy any air
bags. Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"under-ride" situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “under-ride” colli-
sions. Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air
bag deployment would not provideadditional occupant protection.
✽✽ NOTICE - For Europe
However, if equipped with side and
curtain air bags, the air bags may
inflate in a rollover, when it is
detected by the rollover sensor.
✽
✽ NOTICE - Except Europe
However, side and/or curtain air
bags may inflate when the vehicle is
rolled over by a side impact collision,
if the vehicle is equipped with side
air bags and curtain air bags.

Leaving your vehicle unlocked
can invite theft or possible harm
to you or others from someone
hiding in your vehicle while you
are gone. Always remove the
ignition key, engage the parking
brake, close all windows and
lock all doors when leaving
your vehicle unattended.
WARNING - Unattended
children
An enclosed vehicle can become
extremely hot, causing death or
severe injury to unattended chil-dren or animals who cannot
escape the vehicle. Furthermore,
children might operate features
of the vehicle that could injure
them, or they could encounter
other harm, possibly from some-
one gaining entry to the vehicle.
Never leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle.
WARNING - Doors
The doors should always be fully closed and locked while
the vehicle is in motion to pre-vent accidental opening of the
door. Locked doors will also
discourage potential intruders
when the vehicle stops or
slows down.
Be careful when opening doors and watch for vehicles,
motorcycles, bicycles or
pedestrians approaching the
vehicle in the path of the door.Opening a door when some-
thing is approaching can
cause damage or injury.OHM046009
