Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) (if equipped) The Emergency Stop Signal system 
alerts the driver behind by blinking
the stop light when the vehicle is
braked rapidly and severely. 
The system is activated when:
 The vehicle suddenly stops (vehi-
cle speed is over 55km/h and the 
vehicle deceleration at greaterthan 7 m/s 2
)
 The ABS is activating 
When the vehicle speed is under 40 
km/h and the ABS deactivates or the
sudden stop situation is over, the
stop light blinking will stop. Instead,
the hazard warning flasher will turn
on automatically. 
The hazard warning flasher will turn 
off when vehicle speed is over
10km/h after the vehicle has
stopped. Also, it will turn off when the
vehicle is driven at low speed for
some time. You can turn it off manu-
ally by pushing the hazard warning
flasher switch. Good braking practices
WARNING  
 Whenever you leave or park your vehicle, always set the parking brake as far as possi-
ble and fully engage the vehi-
cle's transaxle into the P
(Park) position. If the parking
brake is not fully engaged, the
vehicle may move inadver-
tently and injure yourself and
others.
 All vehicles should always have the parking brake fully
engaged when parking to
avoid inadvertent movement
of the vehicle which can injureoccupants or pedestrians.
CAUTION
The Emergency Stop Signal
(ESS) system will not work if thehazard warning flasher is already on.

Backing up 
Hold the bottom of the steering 
wheel with one hand. Then, to move
the trailer to the left, just move your
hand to the left. To move the trailer to
the right, move your hand to the
right. Always back up slowly and, if
possible, have someone guide you.
Making turns 
When you’re turning with a trailer, 
make wider turns than normal. Do
this so your trailer won’t strike soft
shoulders, kerbs, road signs, trees,
or other objects. Avoid jerky or sud-
den manoeuvres. Signal well in
advance.
Turn signals when towing a trailer 
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle 
has to have a different turn signal
flasher and extra wiring. The green
arrows on your instrument panel will
flash whenever you signal a turn or
lane change. Properly connected,
the trailer lights will also flash to alert
other drivers you’re about to turn,
change lanes, or stop. 
When towing a trailer, the green 
arrows on your instrument panel will
flash for turns even if the bulbs on the
trailer are burned out. Thus, you may
think drivers behind you are seeing
your signals when, in fact, they are
not. It is important to check occasion-
ally to be sure the trailer bulbs are still
working. You must also check the
lights every time you disconnect and
then reconnect the wires. 
Do not connect a trailer lighting sys- 
tem directly to your vehicle’s lighting
system. Use only an approved trailer
wiring harness. 
An authorised Kia dealer can assist 
you in installing the wiring harness.WARNING 
Failure to use an approved trail- er wiring harness could result
in damage to the vehicle electri-
cal system and/or personal
injury.

ROAD WARNING 
Hazard warning flasher   
The hazard warning flasher serves 
as a warning to other drivers to exer-
cise extreme caution when
approaching, overtaking, or passing
your vehicle. It should be used whenever emer-gency repairs are being made or
when the vehicle is stopped near the
edge of a roadway. 
Press the flasher switch with the igni- 
tion switch in any position. The flash-
er switch is located in the centre
facia switch panel. All turn signal
lights will flash simultaneously. 
• The hazard warning flasher oper-
ates whether your vehicle is run- ning or not.
 The turn signals do not work when the hazard flasher is on.
 The hazard warning flasher should always be on whilst the vehicle is
being towed.

Your vehicle has also been equipped 
with a TPMS malfunction indicator toindicate when the system is not oper-
ating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low
tyre pressure telltale. When the sys-tem detects a malfunction, the telltale
will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle start-
ups as long as the malfunction exists.When the malfunction indicator is illu-
minated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tyre pressure
as intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, includ-ing the installation of replacement or
alternate tyres or wheels on the vehi-
cle that prevent the TPMS from func-
tioning properly. Always check theTPMS malfunction telltale afterreplacing one or more tyres or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tyres
and wheels allow the TPMS to con-
tinue to function properly.✽✽
NOTICE
If the TPMS, Low Tyre Pressure 
indicator do not illuminate for 3 sec-
onds when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position or engine
is running, or if they remain illumi-
nated after coming on for approxi-
mately 3 seconds, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorised Kia dealer.Low tyre pressure telltale 
When the tyre pressure monitoring 
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated, one or more of your tyres issignificantly under-inflated. 
If the telltale illuminates, immediately 
reduce your speed, avoid hard cor-
nering and anticipate increased stop-
ping distances. You should stop and
check your tyres as soon as possi-
ble. Inflate the tyres to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label located on the driver’s side
centre pillar outer panel. If you can-
not reach a service station or if the
tyre cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tyre with
the spare tyre.
