NOTICE
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi‐
cult to clean.
Contamination of either the windshield
or the wiper blades with foreign matter can reduce the effectiveness of the
windshield wipers. Common sources of
contamination are insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes. If the blades
are not wiping properly, clean both the window and the blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiperblades, do not use gasoline, kero‐sene, paint thinner, or other solventson or near them.
Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer clean ade‐
quately, the blades may be worn or cracked, and require replacement.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiperarms or other components, do not

•Lamp part malfunction due to electri‐cal control system stabilization
A normally functioning lamp may
flicker momentarily. This momentary occurrence is due to stabilization unc‐
tion of the vehicle's electrical on con‐
trol system. If the lamp soon returns
to normal, the vehicle does not re‐
quire service.
However, if the lamp goes out after he momentary flickering, or the flick‐
ering continues, we recommend the
system be serviced by an authorized
Kia dealer.
NOTICE
•If the light bulb or lamp connector
is removed from an operating
lamp activated by electricity, the
fuse box’s electronic device may
scan it as a malfunction. There‐
fore, a lamp malfunction history
may be recorded in Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) in the fuse
box.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•It is normal for an operating lamp
may blink temporarily. Since this
occurrence is due stabilization
function of the vehicle’s electronic
control device, if the lamp lights up
normally after temporary blinking,
there is no problem in the vehicle.
However, if the lamp continues to
blink several times or turn off
completely, there may be an error
in the vehicle’s electronic control
device. So we recommend that
you have the vehicle checked by
an authorized Kia dealer immedi‐
ately.
NOTICE
We recommend that the headlight
aiming be adjusted after an accident
or after the headlight assembly is
reinstalled at an authorized Kia deal‐
er.
NOTICE
After driving in heavy rain or wash‐
ing, headlamp and tail lamp lenses
could appear frosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature differ‐
ence between the lamp inside and
outside. This is similar to the con‐
densation on your windows inside
your vehicle during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with your
vehicle. If the water leaks into the
lamp bulb circuitry, have the vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

APPEARANCE CARE
Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical cleaner or polish. Read all warning and
caution statements that appear on the
label.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish
from rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughly and frequently at least once
a month with lukewarm or cold water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road
driving, you should wash it after each off-road trip. Pay special attention to
the removal of any accumulation of
salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign mate‐ rials. Make sure the drain holes in the
lower edges of the doors and rocker
panels are kept clear and clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings, in‐ dustrial pollution and similar deposits
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on
painted surfaces, may be used. After washing, rinse the vehicle thor‐
oughly with lukewarm or cold water. Do
not allow soap to dry on the finish.
CAUTION
•Do not use strong soap, chemicaldetergents or hot water, and donot wash the vehicle in direct sun‐light or when the body of the vehi‐cle is warm.
•Be careful when washing the sidewindows of your vehicle.Especially, with high-pressure wa‐ter, water may leak through thewindows and wet the interior.
•To prevent damage to the plasticparts and lamps, do not clean withchemical solvents or strong deter‐gents.
WARNING
nWet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test thebrakes while driving slowly to see if

they have been affected by water. Ifbraking performance is impaired, drythe brakes by applying them lightlywhile maintaining a slow forwardspeed.
High-pressure washing
• When using high-pressure washers, make sure to maintain sufficient dis‐
tance from the vehicle.
Insufficient clearance or excessive pressure can lead to component
damage or water penetration.
• Do not spray the camera, sensors or its surrounding area directly with a
high pressure washer. Shock applied
from high pressure water may cause the device to not operate normally.
• Do not bring the nozzle tip close to boots (rubber or plastic covers) or
connectors as they may be damaged
if they come into contact with high
pressure water.

• If you use unauthorized electronicdevices, it may cause the vehicle to
operate abnormally, wire damage, battery discharge and fire. For your
safety, do not use unauthorized elec‐
tronic devices.
Engine exhaust gas precautions
(carbon monoxide)
• Carbon monoxide can be present with other exhaust fumes. Therefore, if
you smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside your vehicle, have it inspected
and repaired immediately. If you ever
suspect exhaust fumes are coming
into your vehicle, drive it only with all
the windows fully open. Have your vehicle checked and repaired immedi‐
ately.
WARNING
nExhaust
Engine exhaust gases contain carbonmonoxide (CO). Though colorless andodorless, it is dangerous and couldbe lethal if inhaled. Follow the in‐structions on this page to avoid COpoisoning.
• Do not operate the engine in confined or closed areas (such as garages) any
more than what is necessary to move the vehicle in or out of the area.
• When the vehicle is stopped in an open area for more than a short time
with the engine running, adjust the
ventilation system (as needed) to
draw outside air into the vehicle.
• Never sit in a parked or stopped vehi‐ cle for any extended time with the
engine running.
• When the engine stalls or fails to start, excessive attempts to restart
the engine may cause damage to the
emission control system.
Operating precautions for catalytic
converters (if equipped)
WARNING
nFire
(Continued)
(Continued)
•A hot exhaust system can igniteflammable items under your vehi‐cle. Do not park the vehicle over ornear flammable objects, such asgrass, vegetation, paper, leaves,etc.
•The exhaust system and catalyticsystem are very hot while the en‐gine is running or immediately af‐ter the engine is turned off. Keepaway from the exhaust systemand catalytic, you may get burned.Also, do not remove the heat sinkaround the exhaust system, donot seal the bottom of the vehicleor do not coat the vehicle for cor‐rosion control. It may present afire risk under certain conditions.
