Voice Recognition and Phone
Contact Tips:
The Kia Voice Recognition System may
have difficulty understanding some
accents or uncommon names. When
using Voice Recognition to place a call,
speak in a moderate tone, with clear
pronunciation.
To maximize the use of Voice
Recognition, consider these guidelines
when storing contacts :
Use full names vs. short or single syllable names (“John Smith” vs.
“Dad”, “Smith Residence” vs.
“Home”)
Avoid using special characters or hyphens (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.)
Avoid using acronyms (“In Case Emergency” vs. “ICE”)
Spell words completely, no abbre- viations (“Doctor Goodman” vs.
“Dr. Goodman”)

Driving your vehicle
The ABS warning light will stay on for
approximately 3 seconds after the
ignition switch is ON. During that
time, the ABS will go through self-
diagnosis and the light will go off if
everything is normal. If the light stays
on, you may have a problem with
your ABS but your regular brakes will
work normally. Contact an authorized
Kia dealer as soon as possible. When you drive on a road with
poor traction, such as an icy road,
and operated your brakes continu-
ously, the ABS will be active con-
tinuously and the ABS warning
light may illuminate. Pull your vehi-
cle over to a safe place and stop
the engine.
Restart the engine. If the ABS warning light is off, then your ABS
is normal. Otherwise, you may
have a problem with the ABS.
Contact an authorized Kia dealer
as soon as possible.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
engine may not run as smoothly and
the ABS warning light may turn on
at the same time. This happens
because of the low battery voltage. It
does not mean your ABS has mal-
functioned.
• Do not pump your brakes!
• Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
Electronic stability control
(ESC)
The Electronic Stability control
(ESC) system is designed to stabi-
lize the vehicle during cornering
maneuvers. ESC checks where you
are steering and where the vehicle is
actually going. ESC applies the
brakes on individual wheels and
intervenes with the engine manage-
ment system to stabilize the vehicle.
No system, no matter how advanced,
can compensate for all driver error
and/or driving conditions. Always
drive responsibly.
