Maintenance
Headlight (Low, HID type),Position light/DRL (LED type)
If the light bulb does not operate,
have your vehicle checked by a pro-
fessional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner
✽✽ NOTICE
HID lamps have superior perform-
ance vs. halogen bulbs. HID lamps
are estimated by the manufacturer to
last twice as long or longer than halo-
gen bulbs depending on their fre-
quency of use. They will probably
require replacement at some point in
the life of the vehicle. Cycling the
headlamps on and off more than typ-
ical use will shorten HID lamps life.
HID lamps do not fail in the same
manner as halogen incandescent
lamps. If a headlamp goes out after a
period of operation but will immedi-
ately relight when the headlamp
switch is cycled it is likely the HID
lamp needs to be replaced. HID light-
ing components are more complex
than conventional halogen bulbs thus
have higher replacement cost.❈❈ Traffic Change (For Europe)
The low beam light distribution is
asymmetric. If you go abroad to a
country with opposite traffic direc-
tion, this asymmetric part will dazzle
oncoming car driver. To prevent daz-
zle, ECE regulation demand several
technical solutions (ex. automatic
change system, adhesive sheet,
down aiming). This headlamps are
designed not to dazzle opposite driv-
ers. So, you need not change your
headlamps in a country with oppo-
site traffic direction.
WARNING - HID
Headlight low beam (if equipped)
Do not attempt to replace or
inspect the low beam (XENON
bulb) due to electric shock dan-
ger. If the low beam (XENON
bulb) is not working, have your
vehicle checked by a profes-
sional workshop. Kia recom-mends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.

WARNING - Halogen
bulbs
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surized gas that will produce
flying pieces of glass if bro-ken.
Always handle them carefully, and avoid scratches and abra-
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid
contact with liquids. Never
touch the glass with bare
hands. Residual oil may cause
the bulb to overheat and burstwhen lit.
(Continued)

only when installed in a head-light.
If a bulb is damaged or cracked, replace it immediate-
ly and carefully dispose of it.
Wear eye protection when changing a bulb. Allow the

APPEARANCE CARE
Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warningand caution statements that appearon the label.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish
from rust and deterioration, wash itthoroughly and frequently at least
once a month with lukewarm or cold
water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road
driving, you should wash it after each
off-road trip. Pay special attention to
the removal of any accumulation of
salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign
materials. Ensure drain holes in the
lower edges of the doors and rocker
panels are kept clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar
deposits can damage your vehicle’s
finish if not removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain
water may not completely remove all
these deposits.
A mild soap, safe for use on painted
surfaces, may be used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-
oughly with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not allow soap to dry on the finish.
WARNING - Wet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes whilst driving slowly
to see if they have been affected
by water. If braking performance
is impaired, dry the brakes by
applying them lightly whilst
maintaining a slow forwardspeed.
CAUTION
Do not use strong soap, chem- ical detergents or hot water,and do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight or when thebody of the vehicle is warm.
Be careful when washing the side windows of your vehicle.Especially, with high-pressure water, water may leak throughthe windows and wet the inte-rior.
To prevent damage to the plastic parts and lamps, donot clean with chemical sol-vents or strong detergents.

Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels are coated
with a clear protective finish.
Do not use any abrasive cleaner,
polishing compound, solvent, or
wire brushes on aluminum wheels.
They may scratch or damage thefinish.
Clean the wheel when it has cooled.
Use only mild soap or neutral deter- gent, and rinse thoroughly with
water. Also, be sure to clean the
wheels after driving on salted
roads. This helps prevent corrosion.
Avoid washing the wheels with high-speed car wash brushes.
Do not use any alkaline or acid detergent. It may damage and cor-
rode the aluminum wheels coated
with a clear protective finish.
Corrosion protection
Protecting your vehicle from corrosion
By using the most advanced design
and construction practices to combat
corrosion, we produce cars of the
highest quality. However, this is only
part of the job. To achieve the long-
term corrosion resistance your vehi-
cle can deliver, the owner's coopera-tion and assistance is also required.
Common causes of corrosion The most common causes of corro-
sion on your car are:
Road salt, dirt and moisture that isallowed to accumulate underneath
the car.
coatings by stones, gravel, abra-
sion or minor scrapes and dents
which leave unprotected metal
exposed to corrosion.WARNING
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes whilst driving slowly
to see if they have been affected
by water. If braking performance
is impaired, dry the brakes by
applying them lightly whilst
maintaining a slow forwardspeed.

3. Exhaust emission control
system
The Exhaust Emission Control
System is a highly effective system
which controls exhaust emissions
whilst maintaining good vehicle per-
formance.
Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could
affect its performance, safety or
durability and may even violate gov-
ernmental safety and emissions reg-
ulations.
In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from any modifi-
cation may not be covered under
warranty.
If you use unauthorised electronic devices, it may cause the vehicle to
operate abnormally, wire damage,
battery discharge or fire. For your
safety, do not use unauthorised
electric devices.
Engine exhaust gas precautions
(carbon monoxide)
Carbon monoxide can be present with other exhaust fumes.
Therefore, if you smell exhaust
fumes of any kind inside your vehi-
cle, have it inspected and repaired
immediately. If you ever suspect
exhaust fumes are coming into
your vehicle, drive it only with all
the windows fully open. Have your
vehicle checked and repaired
immediately. Do not operate the engine in con-
fined or closed areas (such as
garages) any more than what is
necessary to move the vehicle in orout of the area.
When the vehicle is stopped in an open area for more than a short
time with the engine running,
adjust the ventilation system (as
needed) to draw outside air into the
vehicle.
Never sit in a parked or stopped vehicle for any extended time with
the engine running.
When the engine stalls or fails to start, excessive attempts to restart
the engine may cause damage tothe emission control system.
WARNING - Exhaust
Engine exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide (CO). Though
colourless and odourless, it is
dangerous and could be lethal if
inhaled. Follow the instructions
following to avoid CO poison-ing.

Maintenance
Operating precautions for catalyt-ic converters (if equipped)Your vehicle is equipped with a cat-
alytic converter emission control
device.
Therefore, the following precautions
must be observed:
Make sure to refuel your vehicle according to the "Fuel require- ments" suggested in chapter 1.
Do not operate the vehicle when there are signs of engine malfunc-
tion, such as misfire or a noticeable
loss of performance.
Do not misuse or abuse the engine. Examples of misuse arecoasting with the ignition off and
descending steep grades in gear
with the ignition off.
Do not operate the engine at high idle speed for extended periods (5
minutes or more).
Do not modify or tamper with any park of the engine or emission con-
trol system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by a
professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service center. Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel
cause the engine to misfire, dam-
aging the catalytic converter.
Failure to observe these precautionscould result in damage to the catalyt-
ic converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void
your warranties.
WARNING - Fire
A hot exhaust system can ignite flammable items under
your vehicle. Do not park,
idle, or drive the vehicle over
or near flammable objects,
such as dry grass, paper,
leaves, etc.
The exhaust system and cat- alytic system are very hotwhilst the engine is running or
immediately after the engine
is turned off. Keep away from
the exhaust system and cat-
alytic. You may get burned.
Also, do not remove the heat
sink around the exhaust sys-
tem, do not seal the bottom of
the vehicle or do not coat the
vehicle for corrosion control.
It may present a fire risk under
certain conditions.
