control button will illuminate. It isuseful in a rough road.
Push the vehicle height control but- ton again to select the NORMAL
mode that makes the vehicle
height lower than the HIGH mode.
The indicator light in the vehicle
height control button will go off.
When the vehicle stops with the shift lever in P(Park) or N(Neutral),
you may change the vehicle height.
When you drive under 70km/h, you may select the HIGH mode.
If the vehicle speed exceeds 70km/h while driving in the HIGH
mode, the NORMAL mode will be
selected automatically.
If the vehicle speed exceeds 120km/h while driving in NORMAL

ed automatically. LOW mode can
not be selected manually. When you drive under 80km/h in
the LOW mode, the NORMAL
mode will be selected automatically.
When the engine start/stop button is turned off with the HIGH modeselected, the HIGH mode will bemaintained.
It is to prevent damage under the
vehicle when parked in rough roads.
The height of the vehicle may be adjusted after the engine start/stop
button is turned off for
2hours/5hours/10hours.
It is to compensate vehicle height
affected by outside temperature.
✽✽
NOTICE

come on, you may have a problem
with the ECS system. We recom-
mend that the system be checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.✽✽
NOTICE
 Make sure there are no objects under the vehicle before changing
the vehicle height.
 A click sound may be heard while operating ECS, but these condi-
tions are normal and indicate that

 Depending on the outside temper- ature the vehicle height may be
different.
 When the vehicle is parked with one side of the vehicle lifted or vehicle
speed is suddenly accelerated/decel-
erated or the steering wheel is sud-
denly turned, the height may not
temporarily be adjusted. This is to
protect the system.
 When one side of the vehicle was lifted with a jack, the height may
not temporarily be adjusted. The
ECS will operate normally when
the engine is turned on again or
when the vehicle is accelerated.
 When the vehicle is not driven for a long period of time, vehicle
height may get low. The ECS will
operate normally when the engine
is turned on. ✽✽

NOTICE
 If the battery is discharged, the ECS warning message may comes
on to protect the system.
 When the height is adjusted repeatedly, the height may not
temporarily be adjusted for the
compressor overheats. This is to
prevent damage to related parts.

Tire chains
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner, they can be damaged by
mounting some types of snow chains
on them. Therefore, the use of snow
tires is recommended instead of snow
chains. Do not mount tire chains on
vehicles equipped with aluminum
wheels; snow chains may cause dam-
age to the wheels. If snow chains
must be used, use the AutoSock ®
(fabric snow chain). Damage to your
vehicle caused by improper snow
chain use is not covered by your vehi-
cle manufacturers warranty.
Install the AutoSock ®
(fabric snow
chain) only on the rear tires. ❈
AutoSock ®
is a Registered trade-
mark of AutoSock ®
. Chain installation
When installing the AutoSock
®
(fab-
ric snow chain), follow the manufac-
turer's instructions and mount them
as tightly as you can. Drive slowly
with the AutoSock ®
(fabric snow
chain) installed. If you hear the
AutoSock ®
(fabric snow chain) con-
tacting the body or chassis, stop and
tighten them. If they still make con-
tact, slow down until it stops.
Remove the AutoSock ®
(fabric snow
chain) as soon as you begin driving
on cleared roads.
CAUTION
Make sure the AutoSock®(fab-
ric snow chain) are the correct size and type for your tires.Incorrect snow chains cancause damage to the vehiclebody and suspension and may not be covered by your vehiclemanufacturer warranty.
Always check the AutoSock
®
(fabric snow chain) installation for proper mounting after driv- ing approximately 0.5 to 1 km(0.3 to 0.6 miles) to ensuresafe mounting. Retighten orremount the AutoSock
®(fabric
snow chain) if they are loose.
