Starting and stopping the engine for
turbocharger intercooler
1.Do not race or accelerate the engine immediately after starting.
If the engine is cold, idle for sever-
al seconds before sufficient lubri-cation is ensured in the tur-bocharger unit.
2.After high speed or extended driv- ing, requiring a heavy engine load,
idle the engine about 1 minute
before turning it off.
This idle time will allow the tur-
bocharger to cool prior to shutting
the engine off. Stopping manual transaxle vehicles
1. After safely parking the vehicle,
press the clutch pedal and brake
pedal at the same time.
2. Whilst depressing the clutch pedal and brake pedal at the same time,
shift the transaxle lever to 'N'.
Even if the smart key is in the vehi- cle, if it is far away from you, the
engine may not start.
When the engine start/stop button is in the ACC position or above, if
any door is opened, the system
checks for the smart key. If the
smart key is not in the vehicle, a
message “Key not in vehicle” will
appear on the LCD display. And ifall doors are closed, the chime will
sound for 5 seconds. The indicator
or warning will turn off whilst the
vehicle is moving. Always have the
smart key with you.
CAUTION
Do not turn the engine off imme-
diately after it has been subject-ed to a heavy load. Doing so may cause severe damage tothe engine or turbocharger unit.

Driving your vehicle
For smooth operation, depress thebrake pedal when shifting from N(Neutral) to a forward or reverse gear.Transaxle ranges
The indicator lights in the instrument
cluster displays the shift lever posi-
tion when the ignition switch is in theON position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park). This
position locks the transaxle and pre-
vents the front wheels from rotating.
WARNING - Automatic
transaxle
Always check the surrounding areas near your vehicle for
people, especially children,
before shifting a vehicle into
D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
Before leaving the driver’s seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position; then set the parking
brake fully and shut the engine
off. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur if
these precautions are not fol-
lowed in the order identified.
Do not use the engine brake (shifting from a high gear to
lower gear) rapidly on slip-
pery roads.
The vehicle may slip causing an accident.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to your
transaxle, do not acceleratethe engine in R (Reverse) orany forward gear position withthe brakes on.
When stopped on an upgrade, do not hold the vehicle sta-tionary with engine power.Use the service brake or theparking brake.
Do not shift from N (Neutral) or P (Park) into D (Drive), or R(Reverse) when the engine isabove idle speed.
WARNING
Shifting into P (Park) whilst the vehicle is in motion will
cause the drive wheels to lock
which will cause you to lose
control of the vehicle.
Do not use the P (Park) posi- tion in place of the parking
brake. Always make sure the
shift lever is latched in the P
(Park) position and set the
parking brake fully.
Never leave a child unattend- ed in a vehicle.

Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
In the event that the power-assisted
brakes lose power because of astalled engine or some other reason,
you can still stop your vehicle by
applying greater force to the brake
pedal than you normally would. The
stopping distance, however, will be
longer.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially
depleted each time the brake pedal
is applied. Do not pump the brake
pedal when the power assist has
been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con-
trol on slippery surfaces. BRAKE SYSTEM (Continued)
To dry the brakes, apply them
lightly whilst maintaining a
safe forward speed until brake
performance returns to nor-mal.
Always, confirm the position of the brake and accelerator
pedal before driving. If you
don't check the position of theaccelerator and brake pedal
before driving, you maydepress the accelerator
instead of the brake pedal. It
may cause a serious accident.WARNING - Brakes
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. This will create abnormal high
brake temperatures, exces-sive brake lining and pad
wear, and increased stoppingdistances.
When descending a long or steep hill, shift to a lower gear
and avoid continuous applica-
tion of the brakes. Continuousbrake application will cause
the brakes to overheat and
could result in a temporary
loss of braking performance.
Wet brakes may impair the vehicle’s ability to sefely slow
down; the vehicle may alsopull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
whether they have been affect-
ed in this way. Always test yourbrakes in this fashion after
driving through deep water.

Driving your vehicle
Check the brake warning light by
turning the ignition switch ON (do not
start the engine). This light will illumi-
nate when the parking brake is
applied with the ignition switch in the
START or ON position.
Before driving, be sure the parking
brake is fully released and the brake
warning light is off.
If the brake warning light remains on
after the parking brake is released
whilst the engine is running, there may
be a malfunction in the brake system.
Immediate attention is necessary.If at all possible, cease driving the
vehicle immediately. If that is not pos-
sible, use extreme caution whilst
operating the vehicle and only contin-
ue to drive the vehicle until you can
reach a safe location or repair shop.
WARNING
To prevent unintentional movement when stopped and
leaving the vehicle, do not use
the shift lever instead of the
parking brake. Set the parkingbrake AND make sure the shift
lever is securely positioned in
1st (First) gear or R (Reverse)
for manual transaxle / dual
clutch transmission equipped
vehicles and in P (Park) forautomatic transaxle equipped
vehicles.
Never allow anyone who is unfamiliar with the vehicle to
touch the parking brake. If theparking brake is released
unintentionally, serious injury
may occur.
All vehicles should always have the parking brake fully
engaged when parking to
avoid inadvertent movement
of the vehicle which can injureoccupants or pedestrians.

EPB (Electronic parking brake) may
be automatically applied when:
The EPB is overheated
Requested by other systems
If you try to drive off depressing the
accelerator pedal with the EPB
applied, but doesn't release auto-
matically, a warning will sound and
a message ("Release parking
brake") will appear.
If the driver's seat belt is not fas- tened and any door, the enginebonnet or tailgate is opened, a
warning will sound and a message
will appear.
If there is a problem with the vehi- cle, a warning may sound and a
message may appear.
If the above situation occurs,
depress the brake pedal and release
EPB by pressing the EPB switch.
WARNING
To prevent unintentional movement when stopped and
leaving the vehicle, do not use
the shift lever in place of the
parking brake. Set the parkingbrake and make sure the shift
lever is securely positioned in
P (Park).
Never allow anyone who is unfamiliar with the vehicle to
touch the parking brake. If theparking brake is released
unintentionally, serious injury
may occur.
All vehicles should always have the parking brake fully
engaged when parking to
avoid inadvertent movement
of the car which can injureoccupants or pedestrians.CAUTION
If the parking brake warning
light is still on even thoughthe EPB has been released,we recommend that the sys-tem be checked by an autho- rised Kia dealer.
Do not drive your vehicle with the EPB applied. It may causeexcessive brake pad andbrake rotor wear.

EPB malfunction indicator (if equipped)
This warning light illuminates if the
engine start/stop button is changedto the ON position and goes off in
approximately 3 seconds if the sys-
tem is operation normally. If the EPB malfunction indicator
remains on, comes on whilst driving,or does not come on when the igni-
tion switch or the engine start/stop
button is changed to the ON position,
this indicates that the EPB may havemalfunctioned. If this occurs, we recommend that
the system be checked by an autho-
rised Kia dealer.
The EPB malfunction indicator may illuminate when the ESC indicatorcomes on to indicate that the ESC is
not working properly, but it does not
indicate a malfunction of the EPB.
CAUTION
A click sound may be heard
whilst operating or releasingthe EPB, but these conditionsare normal and indicate that theEPB is functioning properly.
When leaving your keys with a parking lot attendant or valet,make sure to inform him/herhow to operate the EPB.
The EPB may malfunction if you drive with the EPB applied.
When you automatically release EPB by depressingthe accelerator pedal, depress it slowly.
