Features of your vehicle
Fuel EconomyDistance To Empty (1)
The distance to empty is the esti-mated distance the vehicle can be
driven with the remaining fuel.
- Distance range: 1 ~ 999 km or 1~ 999 mi.
If the estimated distance is below 1 km (1 mi.), the trip computer will dis-
play “---” as distance to empty.
✽✽ NOTICE
 If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been
interrupted, the distance to empty
function may not operate correctly.
 The distance to empty may differ from the actual driving distance as
it is an estimate of the available
driving distance.
 The trip computer may not regis- ter additional fuel if less than 6
litres (1.6 gallons) of fuel are
added to the vehicle.
 The fuel economy and distance to empty may vary significantly based
on driving conditions, driving
habits, and condition of the vehicle.
Average Fuel Economy (2)
The average fuel economy is calcu-lated by the total driving distance and fuel consumption since the last
average fuel economy reset.
- Fuel economy range: 0.0 ~ 99.9L/100km or MPG
The average fuel economy can be reset both manually and automati-
cally.

Features of your vehicle
Malfunction IndicatorLamp (MIL)
This warning light illuminates:
Once you set the ignition switch or Engine Start/Stop Button to the ON position. - It remains on until the engine is
started.
When there is a malfunction with the emission control system.
In this case, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by
an authorised Kia dealer.
CAUTION - Petrol Engine
If the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) illuminates, poten-tial catalytic converter damage is possible which could result inloss of engine power.
In this case, we recommend thatyou have the vehicle inspectedby an authorised Kia dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION - Diesel Engine with DPF (if equipped)
When the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) blinks, it may stopblinking after driving the vehicle:
- at more than 60km/h (37 mph), or- at more than 2nd gear with 1500 ~ 2000 engine rpm for a certaintime (for about 25 minutes).
If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) continues to blink inspite of the procedure, we rec- ommend that you have the DPFsystem checked by an autho-rised Kia dealer.
If you continue to drive with theMalfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) blinking for a long time,the DPF system can be dam-aged and fuel consumption can worsen.
CAUTION - Malfunction IndicatorLamp (MIL)
Driving with the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL) on maycause damage to the emission control systems which couldeffect drivability and/or fueleconomy.

Driving your vehicle
Your vehicle may be equipped with the ISG system, which reduces fuel
consumption by automatically shut-
ting down the engine, when the vehi-
cle is at a standstill. (For example :
red light, stop sign and traffic jam)
The engine starts automatically as
soon as the starting conditions aremet.
The ISG system is ON whenever the
engine is running.
✽✽NOTICE
When the engine automatically
starts by the ISG system, some
warning lights (ABS, ESC, ESC
OFF, EPS or Parking brake warn-
ing light) may turn on for a few sec-
onds.
This happens because of low battery
voltage. It does not mean the system
has malfunctioned.
Auto stop
To stop the engine in idle stop mode
With manual transaxle
1.Decrease the vehicle speed to less than 5 km/h (3 mph).
2.Shift into N (Neutral) position.
3.Release the clutch pedal. With dual clutch transmission
1. Decrease the vehicle speed to 0
km/h.
2. Shift into D (Drive) or N (Neutral) position.
3. Press the brake pedal.
The engine will stop and the green
AUTO STOP( ) indicator on the
instrument cluster will illuminate.
✽✽ NOTICE
You must reach a speed of at least 10
km/h (6 mph) since last idle stop.

ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many kilometers (miles) you can get
from a litre (gallon) of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as pos-
sible, use the following driving sug-
gestions to help save money in bothfuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Do not make "jack-
rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts
and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Do not race between stop-
lights. Try to adjust your speed to
the traffic so you do not have to
change speeds unnecessarily.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway,
is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption. Do not "ride" the brake or clutch
pedal. This can increase fuel con-
sumption and also increase wear
on these components. In addition,
driving with your foot resting on the
brake pedal may cause the brakes
to overheat, which reduces their
effectiveness and may lead to
more serious consequences.
Take care of your tyres. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary tyre wear. Check the tyrepressures at least once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper align-
ment can result from hitting kerbs
or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes
faster tyre wear and may also
result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption. Keep your vehicle in good condi-
tion. For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain your vehicle in accordance
with the maintenance schedule. If
you drive your vehicle in severe
conditions, more frequent mainte-nance is required.
Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi- mum service, your vehicle should
be kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be
allowed to accumulate on the
underside of the vehicle. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute tocorrosion.
Travel lightly. Do not carry unnec- essary weight in your vehicle.
Weight reduces fuel economy.
Do not let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.

Diesel Particulate Filter (if equipped)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
system removes the soot in the
exhaust gas.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxidizes)
and removes the accumulated soot
according to the driving condition. In
other words, the active burning byengine control system and high
exhaust gas temperature caused by
normal/high driving condition burns
and removes the accumulated soot.
However, if the vehicle continues to
be driven at repeated short distance
or driven at low speed for a long
time, the accumulated soot may not
be automatically removed because
of low exhaust gas temperature.
More than a certain amount of sootdeposited, the malfunction indicator
light ( ) illuminates. When the malfunction indicator light
blinks, it may stop blinking by driving
the vehicle at more than 60 km/h (37mph) or at more than second gear
with 1500 ~ 2500 engine rpm for a
certain time (for about 25 minutes). If the malfunction indicator light ( )
continues to be blinked or the warn-
ing massage “Check exhaust system”
illuminates in spite of the procedure,
please visit an authorised Kia dealer
and the check the DPF system.
If you continue to drive with the mal-
function indicator light blinking for a
long time, the DPF system can bedamaged and fuel consumption can
be worsen.
Lean NOx Trap (if equipped)
The Lean NOx Trap (LNT) system
removes the nitrogen oxide in the
exhaust gas. The smell can occur in
the exhaust gas depending on the
quality of the fuel and it can degrade
NOx reduction performance, please
use the regulated automotive dieselfuel.
CAUTION -
Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regulated automotive diesel fuelfor diesel vehicle equipped with the DPF system.
If you use diesel fuel includinghigh sulfur (more than 50 ppmsulfur) and unspecified addi-tives, it can cause the DPF sys- tem to be damaged and whitesmoke can be emitted.
