If you use devices such as a USB hubpurchased separately, the vehicle’s
audio system may not recognize the
USB device. In that case, connect the
USB device directly to the multimedia
terminal of the vehicle.
If the USB device is divided by logical drives, only the music files on the high-
est-priority drive are recognized by car
audio.
Devices such as MP3 Player/ Cellular phone/Digital camera can be unrecog-
nizable by standard USB I/F can be
unrecognizable.
Charging through the USB may not be supported in some mobile devices.
USB HDD or USB types liable to con- nection failures due to vehicle vibrations
are not supported. (i-stick type)
Some non-standard USB devices (METAL COVER TYPE USB) can be
unrecognizable.
(Continued)(Continued)
Some USB flash memory readers
(such as CF, SD, micro SD, etc.) or
external-HDD type devices can be
unrecognizable.
Music files protected by DRM (DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT) are not recog-
nizable.
The data in the USB memory may be lost while using this audio. Always back
up important data on a personal stor-
age device.
Please avoid using USB memory products which
can be used as key chains

Driving your vehicle

Don't let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged position.
This is most likely to happen when there
is an accumulation of snow or ice around
or near the rear brakes or if the brakes
are wet. If there is a risk the parking
brake may freeze, apply it only temporar-
ily while you put the shift lever in P (auto-
matic transaxle) or in first or reverse gear
(manual transaxle) and block the rear
wheels so the vehicle cannot roll. Then
release the parking brake.
Don't let ice and snow accumu-
late underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and inter-
fere with the steering. When driving in
severe winter conditions where this may
happen, you should periodically check
underneath the car to be sure the move-
ment of the front wheels and the steering
components is not obstructed.
Carry emergency equipment
Depending on the severity of the weath-
er you should carry appropriate emer-
gency equipment. Some of the items you
may want to carry include tow straps or
chains, flashlight, emergency flares,
sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a window
scraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a
blanket, etc. We do not recommend using this
vehicle for trailer towing.

What to do in an emergency
TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator will
illuminate after it blinks for approxi-
mately one minute when there is a
problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. If the system is
able to correctly detect an under infla-
tion warning at the same time as sys-
tem failure then it will illuminate the
TPMS malfunction indicator.
Have the system checked by an
authorized kia dealer as soon as
possible to determine the cause of
the problem.
The TPMS malfunction indicator may
be illuminated if the vehicle is moving
around electric power supply cables
or radios transmitter such as at police
stations, government and public
offices, broadcasting stations, military
installations, airports, or transmitting
towers, etc. This can interfere with
normal operation of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS). The TPMS malfunction indicator may
illuminate if snow chains or some
separately purchased devices such
as notebook computers, mobile
charger, remote starter, navigation
etc. are used in the vehicle. This can
interfere with normal operation of the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).
WARNING - Low pressure
damage
Do not drive on low pressure
tires. Significantly low tire pres-
sure can cause the tires to over-
heat and fail making the vehicle
unstable resulting in increased
braking distances and a loss of
vehicle control.
