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 trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 6 liters
(1.6 gallons) of fuel are added to
the vehicle.
The fuel consumption and distance to empty values may vary signifi-
cantly based on driving conditions,
driving habits, and condition of the
vehicle.
The distance to empty value is an estimate of the available driving
distance. This value may differ from
the actual driving distance avail-
able. Average fuel consumption
This mode calculates the average
fuel consumption from the total fuel
used and the distance since the last
average consumption reset. The total
fuel used is calculated from the fuel
consumption input. For an accurate
calculation, drive more than 0.03
mile (50 m).
Pressing the TRIP button for more
than 1 second, when the average
fuel consumption is displayed, clears
the average fuel consumption to zero
(---). If the vehicle speed exceeds 0.6
MPH (1 km/h) after refueled more
than 6 l
, the average fuel consump-
tion will be cleared to zero (---).

speed of the vehicle since the last
average speed reset.
Even if the vehicle is not in motion,

Pressing the TRIP button for more
than 1 second, when the average
speed is displayed, clears the aver-
age speed to zero (---). Elapsed time

traveled since the last elapsed time
reset.
Even if the vehicle is not in motion,
the elapsed time keeps going while
the engine is running.
The meter’s working range is from
0:00~99:59.
Pressing the TRIP button for more
than 1 second, when the elapsed
time is being displayed, clears the
elapsed time to zero (0:00).

Warnings and indicators
All warning lights are checked by
turning the ignition switch ON (do not
start the engine). Any light that does
not illuminate should be checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.
After starting the engine, check to
make sure that all warning lights are
off. If any warning lights are still on,
this indicates a situation that needs
attention. When releasing the park-
ing brake, the brake system warning
light should go off. The fuel warning
light will stay on if the fuel level is low.
Air bag warning light
This warning light will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds each time
you turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.
This light also comes on when the
Supplement Restraint System (SRS)
is not working properly. If the air bag
warning light does not come on, or
continuously remains on after oper-
ating for about 6 seconds when you
turned the ignition switch to the ON
position or started the engine, or if it
comes on while driving, have the
SRS inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
Anti-lock brake system(ABS) warning light (if equipped)
This warning light illuminates if the
ignition switch is turned ON and goes
off in approximately 3 seconds if the
system is operating normally.
If the ABS warning light remains on,
comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, this indi-
cates that the ABS may have mal-
functioned.
If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia dealer
as soon as possible. The normal
braking system will still be opera-
tional, but without the assistance of
the anti-lock brake system.

Low fuel level warning light
This warning light indicates the fuel
tank is nearly empty. When it comes
on, you should add fuel as soon as
possible. Driving with the fuel level
warning light on or with the fuel level
below “E” can cause the engine to
misfire and damage the catalytic
converter (if equipped).
Malfunction indicatorlamp (MIL) (check engine light)
This indicator is part of the Engine
Control System which monitors vari-
ous emission control system compo-
nents. If this indicator illuminates
while driving, it indicates that a
potential malfunction has been
detected somewhere in the emission
control system.
This indicator will also illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position, and will go off in a
few seconds after the engine is start-
ed. If it illuminates while driving, or
does not illuminate when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position,
take your vehicle to the nearest
authorized Kia dealer and have the
system checked.
Generally, your vehicle will continue
to be drivable, but have the system
checked by an authorized Kia dealer
promptly.
CAUTION - MIL illumination
Prolonged driving with the
Emission Control SystemMalfunction Indicator Lightilluminated may cause dam-age to the emission controlsystems which could effectdrivability and/or fuel econo-my.
If the Emission Control System Malfunction IndicatorLight illuminates, potentialcatalytic converter damage.This could result in loss ofengine power. Have theEngine Control Systeminspected as soon as possibleby an authorized Kia dealer.

(if equipped)
The ECOMINDER®indicator is dis-
played to help you improve fuel effi-
ciency when you are driving.
The ECOMINDER
®indicator will
turn the ECO light green on the
instrument panel when you are
driving efficiently in the ECO ON
mode.
If you don't want the indicator dis-
played, you can turn the ECO ON
mode to OFF mode by pressing
the TRIP button.
When the instant fuel consumption mode(if equipped) is displayed on
the LCD display or the system is
not working properly, the indicator
turns off. If the indicator turns off
when the instant fuel consumption
mode or ECO OFF mode is not
selected, have the system
checked by an authorized Kia deal-
er as soon as possible. Fuel efficiency depends on the dri-
ver's driving habit and road condi-
tion.
The system stops operating when the transaxle is in the P (Park), R
(Reverse), N (Neutral) position or
sports mode, or when the instant
fuel consumption mode is select-
ed.
WARNING -

R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transaxle are not
engaged. The vehicle will roll freely
even on the slightest incline unless
the parking brake or service brakes
are applied. D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving
position. The transaxle will automati-
cally shift through a 6-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or climbing grades,
depress the accelerator fully, at
which time the transaxle will auto-
matically downshift to the next lower
gear.
Sports mode
Whether the vehicle is stopped or in
motion, sports mode is selected by
pushing the shift lever from the D
(Drive) position into the manual gate.
To return to D (Drive) range opera-
tion, push the shift lever back into the
main gate.
In Sports mode, moving the shift
lever backwards and forwards will
allow you to shift gears rapidly. In
contrast to a manual transaxle, the
Sports mode allows gearshifts with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
CAUTION - Shifting
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into or out of R(Reverse); you may damage thetransaxle if you shift into R(Reverse) while the vehicle is inmotion, except when “Rockingthe Vehicle” explained in thissection.
