If you do decide to pull a trailer
Here are some important points if
you decide to pull a trailer:
Consider using a sway control. You
can ask a hitch dealer about sway control.
Do not do any towing with your car during its first 2,000 km (1,200
miles) in order to allow the engine
to properly break in. Failure to heed
this caution may result in serious
engine or transaxle damage.
When towing a trailer, Kia recom- mends that you consult an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner onadditional requirements such as a
towing kit, etc.
Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (less than 100 km/h(60 mph)).
On a long uphill grade, do not exceed 70 km/h (45 mph) or the
posted towing speed limit,
whichever is lower.

Weight of the trailer
What is the maximum safe weight of a
trailer? It should never weigh more than
the maximum trailer weight with trailer
brakes. But even that can be too heavy.
It depends on how you plan to use
your trailer. For example, speed, alti-
tude, road grades, outside tempera-
ture and how often your vehicle is
used to pull a trailer are all important.
The ideal trailer weight can also
depend on any special equipment
that you have on your vehicle.
Weight of the trailer tongue
The tongue load of any trailer is an
important weight to measure
because it affects the total gross
vehicle weight (GVW) of your vehi-
cle. This weight includes the kerb
weight of the vehicle, any cargo you
may carry in it, and the people who
will be riding in the vehicle. And if you
will tow a trailer, you must add thetongue load to the GVW because
your vehicle will also be carrying that
weight.The trailer tongue should weigh a
maximum of 10% of the total loaded
trailer weight, within the limits of the
maximum permissible trailer tongue
load. After you've loaded your trailer,
weigh the trailer and then the tongue,
separately, to see if the weights are
proper. If they aren’t, you may be
able to correct them simply by mov-
ing some items around in the trailer.

What to do in an emergency
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILST DRIVING
If the engine stalls at a cross-
road or crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroad or crossing, set the shift lever in the
N (Neutral) position and then push
the vehicle to a safe place.
If your vehicle has a manual transaxle not equipped with a igni-
tion lock switch, the vehicle can
move forward by shifting to the2(Second) or 3(Third) gear and
then turning the starter withoutdepressing the clutch pedal. If you have a flat tyre whilst driving
If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driving:
1.Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow down
whilst driving straight ahead. Do not
apply the brakes immediately orattempt to pull off the road as this
may cause a loss of control. When
the vehicle has slowed to such a
speed that it is safe to do so, brakecarefully and pull off the road.
Drive off the road as far as possible
and park on firm, level ground. If
you are on a divided highway, do
not park in the median area
between the two traffic lanes.
2.When the vehicle is stopped, turn on your emergency hazard flashers,
set the parking brake and put the
transaxle in P (automatic transaxle /
dual clutch transmission) or reverse
(manual transaxle). 3.Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
4.When changing a flat tyre, follow the instruction provided later in this
chapter.
If engine stalls whilst driving
1.Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
2.Turn on your emergency flashers.
3.Try to start the engine again. If your vehicle does not start, consult a
professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to consult an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.

IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START
If engine doesn't turn over or
turns over slowly
1.If your vehicle has an automatic transaxle / dual clutch transmis-
sion, be sure the shift lever is in N
(Neutral) or P (Park) and the emer-
gency brake is set.
2.Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
3.Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is discharged.
4.Check the starter connections to be sure they are securely tightened.
5.Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it. See instructions for "Jump
starting". If engine turns over normally
but does not start
1.Check fuel level.
2.With the ignition switch in the
LOCK/ OFF position, check all connectors at ignition, coil and
spark plugs. Reconnect any that
may be disconnected or loose.
3.Check the fuel line in the engine compartment.
4.If the engine still does not start, call a professional workshop. Kia rec-
ommends to call an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
WARNING
If the engine does not start, do
not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. This could result in a col-
lision or cause other damage. In
addition, push or pull starting
may cause the catalytic convert-
er (if equipped) to be overloaded
and create a fire hazard.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you will experience a
loss of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine is probably too
hot. If this happens, you should:
1.Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2.Place the shift lever in P (automat- ic transaxle / dual clutch transmis-
sion) or neutral (manual transaxle)
and set the parking brake. If the air
conditioning is on, turn it off.
3.If engine coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is com-ing out from the bonnet, stop the
engine. Do not open the bonnet until
the coolant has stopped running or
the steaming has stopped. If there is
no visible loss of engine coolant and
no steam, leave the engine running
and check to be sure the engine
cooling fan is operating. If the fan is
not running, turn the engine off.
4.Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not miss-
ing, check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satis-
factory, check for coolant leaking
from the radiator, hoses or under
the vehicle. (If the air conditioning
had been in use, it is normal for
cold water to be draining from it
when you stop).
5.If the water pump drive belt is bro- ken or engine coolant is leakingout, stop the engine immediately
and call a professional workshop.Kia recommends to call an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner. 6.If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,carefully add coolant to the reser-
voir to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7.Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again,
call a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to call an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
Serious loss of coolant indi-
cates there is a leak in the cool-ing system. In this case, have the system checked by a pro-fessional workshop. Kia recom-mends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
When the engine overheats from low engine coolant, sud-denly adding engine coolantmay cause cracks in the engine. To prevent damage,add engine coolant slowly insmall quantities.
WARNING
Whilst the engine is running,
keep hair, hands and clothing
away from moving parts suchas the fan and drive belts to pre-
vent injury.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. This can
allow coolant to blow out of theopening and cause serious
burns.

WARNING - Protecting TPMS
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tyre PressureMonitoring System (TPMS) com-
ponents may interfere with thesystem's ability to warn the driv-
er of low tyre pressure condi-
tions and/or TPMS malfunctions.
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tyre PressureMonitoring System (TPMS) com-
ponents may void the warranty
for that portion of the vehicle.WARNING - TPMS
The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and sudden tyre dam-
age caused by external factors
such as nails or road debris.
If you feel any vehicle instabil- ity, immediately take your foot
off the accelerator, apply the
brakes gradually and with
light force, and slowly move to
a safe position off the road.
WARNING - For EUROPE
Do not modify the vehicle, it may interfere with the TPMS function.
The wheels on the market do not have a TPMS sensor.
For your safety, use parts for
replacement from a profes-
sional workshop. Kia recom-mends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.

If you use the wheels on themarket, use a TPMS sensor
approved by an authorised
Kia dealer.
If your vehicle is not equipped
with a TPMS sensor or TPMS
does not work properly, you
may fail the periodic vehicle
inspection conducted in your
country.
