Driving your vehicle
- Parking in N (Neutral) gear
Follow below steps when parking and
you want the vehicle to move whenpushed.
1. After parking your vehicle, depress thebrake pedal and move the shift lever to
[P] with the ignition button in [ON] or
while the engine is running.
2. If the parking brake is applied unlock the parking brake.
- For EPB (Electronic Parking Brake)
equipped vehicles, push the brake
pedal with the ignition button in [ON]
or while the engine is running to dis-
engage the parking brake. If [AUTO
HOLD] function is used while driving
(If [AUTO HOLD] indicator is on in the
cluster), press [AUTO HOLD] switch
and [AUTO HOLD] function should be
turn off.
3. While pressing the brake pedal, turn the ignition button [OFF].
- For smart key equipped vehicles, theignition switch can be moved to [OFF]
only when the shift lever is in [P]. 4. Change the gear shift lever to [N]
(Neutral) whilepressing the brake pedal
and pushing [SHIFT LOCK RELEASE]
button or inserting, pressing down a tool
(e.g. flathead screw-driver) into the[SHIFT LOCK RELEASE] access hole
at the same time. Then, the vehicle will
move when external force is applied.(Continued)
• After the ignition switch has
been turned off, the electronicparking brake cannot be dis- engaged.
For EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) equipped vehicles with [AUTO
HOLD] function used while driving,if the ignition button has been turned [OFF], the electronic park-
ing brake will be engaged automat-ically.
Therefore, [AUTO HOLD] functionshould be turned off before theignition button is turned off.
CAUTION
With the exception of parking in neutral gear, always park the vehi-cle in [P] (Park) for safety and engage the parking brake.
Before parking in [N] (Neutral) gear, first make sure the parkingground is level and flat. Do notpark in [N] gear on any slopes orgradients.
If parked and left in [N], the vehi-cle may move and cause seriousdamage and injury.

D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position. The
transmission will automatically shift
through a 7 (or 6) gear sequence, pro-
viding the best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or driving uphill depress the
accelerator pedal further until you feel the
transmission downshift to a lower gear.(Continued)

Driving your vehicle
To release EPB (electric parking brake)
automatically:
Manual transaxle vehicle1. Start the engine.
2. Fasten the driver's seat belt.
3. Close the driver's door, engine hood and tailgate.
4. Depress the clutch pedal with the gear engaged.
5. Depress the accelerator pedal while releasing the clutch pedal.
Automatic transaxle vehicle 1. Start the engine.
2. Fasten the driver's seat belt.
3. Close the driver's door, engine hood and tailgate.
4. Depress the accelerator pedal while the shift lever is in R (Rear), D (Drive).
Shift lever in P (Park)
With the engine running depress thebrake pedal and shift out of P (Park) to
R (Rear) or D (Drive).
Shift lever in N (Neutral) With the engine running depress the
brake pedal and shift out of N (Neutral)
to R (Rear) or D (Drive).
Make sure the brake warning light goes
off.✽✽ NOTICE
For your safety, you can engage the EPB even though the ignition switch or
engine stop/start button is in the OFF
position, but you cannot release it.
For your safety, depress the brake
pedal and release the parking brake
manually with the EPB switch when
you drive downhill or when backing up
the vehicle.
✽
✽ NOTICE - Manual transaxle
A vehicle towing a trailer on a hill or on
an incline may slightly roll backwards
when starting the vehicle. To prevent the
situation follow the below instructions.
1. Depress the clutch pedal and select a gear.
2. Keep pulling up the EPB switch.
3. Depress the accelerator pedal and slowly release the clutch pedal.
4. If the vehicle starts off with enough driving power release the EPB switch.
Do not follow the above procedure when
driving on a flat level ground. The vehi-
cle may suddenly move forward.
CAUTION
If the parking brake warning light is still on even though the EPB
has been released, we recom- mend that the system be checkedby an authorized Kia dealer.
Do not drive your vehicle with the EPB applied. It may cause exces-sive brake pad and brake rotorwear.
What to do in an emergency

It is possible that some tires, espe- cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed
completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may
adversely affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
maneuvers, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in
use.
The Tire Mobility Kit is not designed
or intended as a permanent tire
repair method and is to be used for
one tire only. This instruction shows
you step by step how to temporarily
seal the puncture simply and reliably.
Read the section “Notes on the safe
use of the Tire Mobility Kit”.Notes on the safe use of the Tire
Mobility Kit
Park your car at the side of the
road so that you can work with the
Tire Mobility Kit away from moving
traffic.
To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your park-
ing brake.
Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for sealing/inflation passenger car
tires. Only punctured areas locatedwithin the tread region of the tirecan be sealed using the tire mobil-ity kit.
Do not use on motorcycles, bicy- cles or any other type of tires.
When the tire and wheel are dam- aged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit
for your safety.
Use of the Tire Mobility Kit may not be effective for tire damage larger
than approximately 6 mm (0.24 in).
If the tire cannot be made roadwor-
thy with the Tire Mobility Kit, we
recommend that you contact an
authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
Do not use the TMK if a tire is
severely damaged by drivingrun flat or with insufficient air
pressure.
Only punctured areas located within the tread region of thetire can be sealed using theTMK.

What to do in an emergency
• Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if atire is severely damaged by driving
run flat or with insufficient air pres-
sure.
Do not remove any foreign objects such as nails or screws that have
penetrated the tire.
Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise
operating the compressor may
eventually drain the car battery.
Never leave the Tire Mobility Kit unattended while it is being used.
Do not leave the compressor run- ning for more than 10 min. at a time
or it may overheat.
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).

7. Plug the compressor power cord
into the vehicle power outlet.
✽✽NOTICE
Only use the front passenger side
power outlet when connecting the
power cord.
8. With the ignition switch in the ON position, switch on the compressor
and let it run for approximately 5~7
minutes to fill the sealant up to
proper pressure. (refer to the Tire
and Wheels, chapter 8). The infla-tion pressure of the tire after filling
is unimportant and will be
checked/corrected later.
Be careful not to overinflate the
tire and stay away from the tirewhen filling it. 9. Switch off the compressor.
10. Detach the hoses from the
sealant bottle connector and
from the tire valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor-
age location in the vehicle.
WARNING - Carbon
monoxide
Do not leave your vehicle run-
ning in a poorly ventilated area
for extended periods of time.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
and suffocation can occur.
CAUTION - Tire pressure
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tire pressure isbelow 200 kPa (29 psi). This could result in an accident dueto sudden tire failure.
What to do in an emergency

- To increase the inflation pres- sure : Switch on the compressor,
position I. To check the current
inflation pressure setting, briefly
switch off the compressor.
- To reduce the inflation pres-sure : Press the button (8) on the
compressor.
✽✽ NOTICE
Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes, otherwise the
device will overheat and may be
damaged.
✽
✽ NOTICE
The pressure gauge may show high-
er than actual reading when the
compressor is running. To get an
accurate tire reading, the compres-
sor needs to be turned off.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not maintained, drive the vehicle asecond time, refer to Distributing the sealant. Then repeat steps 1to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffectu-al for tire damage larger thanapproximately 4 mm (0.16 in).
We recommend that you contactan authorized Kia dealer if the tire cannot be made roadworthywith the Tire Mobility Kit.
CAUTION - Tire pressure
sensor
The sealant on the tire pressure
sensor and wheel should beremoved when you replace thetire with a new one and inspect the tire pressure sensors at anauthorized dealer.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must
be at least 220 kPa (32 psi). If it
is not, do not continue driving.
Call for road side service or
towing.
