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 liter (gallon) of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as possi‐
ble, use the following driving sugges‐ tions to help save money in both fuel
and repairs: • Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a mod‐ erate 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 possible.
Always maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles so you can avoid un‐
necessary braking. This also reduces
brake wear.
• Drive at a moderate speed. The fast‐ er you drive, the more fuel your vehi‐cle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway, is
one of the most effective ways to re‐
duce fuel consumption. • Do not "ride" the brake or clutch ped‐
al. This can increase fuel consumption
and also increase wear on these com‐
ponents. 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 tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres‐
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unneces‐
sary tire wear. Check the tire pres‐ sures at least once a month.
• Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment can re‐
sult from hitting curbs or driving too
fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire wear
and may also result in other prob‐
lems as well as greater fuel con‐
sumption.
• Keep your vehicle in good condition. For better fuel economy and reducedmaintenance costs, maintain your ve‐
hicle in accordance with the mainte‐
nance schedule in Chapter 9, Mainte‐
nance. If you drive your vehicle in se‐
vere conditions, more frequent main‐ tenance is required (see Chapter 9,
Maintenance for details). • Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi‐
mum service, your vehicle should be
kept clean and free of corrosive ma‐ terials. 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 al‐ so contribute to corrosion.
• Travel lightly. Do not carry unneces‐ sary weight in your vehicle. Weight
reduces fuel economy.
• Do not let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting (and notin traffic), turn off your engine and
restart only when you're ready to go.
• Remember, your vehicle does not re‐ quire extended warm-up. After the
engine has started, allow the engine
to run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to placing the vehicle in gear. In very cold
weather, however, give your engine a
slightly longer warmup period.
• Do not "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too
high a gear resulting engine bucking.
If this happens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine be‐
yond its safe limit. This can be avoi‐
ded by shifting at the recommended
speeds.

Driving your vehicle

Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not oper‐
ating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system de‐
tects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately 1 minute and then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon sub‐
sequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the TPMS
malfunction indicator remains illumina‐
ted after blinking for approximately 1 minute, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as in‐
tended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a va‐
riety of reasons, including the installa‐
tion of replacement or alternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to en‐
sure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTICE
If any of the below happens, we rec‐
ommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
1.The low tire pressure telltale/
TPMS malfunction indicator do
not illuminate for 3 seconds
when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position or en‐
gine is running.
2.The TPMS malfunction indicator
remains illuminated after blink‐
ing for approximately 1 minute.
3.The Low tire pressure position
telltale remains illuminated.

WARNING
nCarbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide poisoning and suf‐focation is possible if the engine isleft running in a poorly ventilated orunventilated location (such as insidea building).
Distributing the sealant
11. Immediately drive approximately7~10 km (4~6 miles or, about 10
min) to evenly distribute the seal‐
ant in the tire.
CAUTION
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h(50 mph). If possible, do not fall be‐low a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph).While driving, if you experience anyunusual vibration, ride disturbanceor noise, reduce your speed anddrive with caution until you cansafely pull off of the side of theroad. Call for road side service ortowing.

Checking the tire inflation
pressure
0+')
1. After driving approximately 7~10 km (4~6 miles, or about 10
minutes), stop at a suitable loca‐
tion. 2. Connect connection hose (10) of
the compressor directly to the tire
valve.
3. Connect between compressor and the vehicle battery using the cable
and connectors.
4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to 200 kPa (29 psi). With the ignition
switched on, proceed as follows. -
To increase the inflation pres‐sure: Switch on the compressor,
position I. To check the current
inflation pressure setting, briefly switch off the compressor.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run formore than 10 minutes, otherwisethe device will overheat and may bedamaged.

What to do in an emergency

CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not main‐tained, drive the vehicle a secondtime, refer to Distributing the seal‐ant. Then repeat steps 1 to 4.Use of the TMK may be ineffectualfor tire damage larger than approxi‐mately 4 mm (0.16 in).We recommend that you contact anauthorized Kia dealer if the tire can‐not be made roadworthy with theTire Mobility Kit.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must beat least 200 kPa (29 psi). If it is not,do not continue driving.Call for road side service or towing.
Notes on the safe use of the
Tire Mobility Kit
• Park your car at the side of the roadso that you can work with the TMK
away from moving traffic. Place your warning triangle in a prominent place
to make passing vehicles aware of
your location. • To be sure your vehicle will not move,
even when you're on fairly level
ground, always set your parking brake.
• Only use the TMK for sealing/inflation passenger car tires. Do not use on
motorcycles, bicycles or any other
type of tires.
• Do not remove any foreign objects such as nails or screws -that have
penetrated the tire.
• Before using the TMK, read the pre‐ cautionary advice printed on the seal‐ ant bottle!
• Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise oper‐
ating the compressor may eventually
drain the car battery.
• Never leave the TMK unattended while it is being used.
• Do not leave the compressor running for more than 10 min. at a time or it
may overheat.
• Do not use the TMK if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).
• When the tire and wheel are dam‐ aged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit foryour safety.
