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.

Diesel Particulate Filter
(if equipped)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
system removes the soot in the
exhaust gas.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxidizes)
and removes the accumulated soot
according to the driving condition. In
other words, the active burning byengine control system and high
exhaust gas temperature caused by
normal/high driving condition burns
and removes the accumulated soot.
However, if the vehicle continues to
be driven at repeated short distance
or driven at low speed for a long
time, the accumulated soot may not
be automatically removed because
of low exhaust gas temperature.
More than a certain amount of sootdeposited, the malfunction indicator
light ( ) illuminates. When the malfunction indicator light
blinks, it may stop blinking by driving
the vehicle at more than 60 km/h (37mph) or at more than second gear
with 1500 ~ 2500 engine rpm for a
certain time (for about 25 minutes). If the malfunction indicator light ( )
continues to be blinked or the warn-
ing massage “Check exhaust system”
illuminates in spite of the procedure,
visit a professional workshop and
check the DPF system. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia deal-
er/service partner.
If you continue to drive with the mal-
function indicator light blinking for a
long time, the DPF system can bedamaged and fuel consumption can
be worsen.
Lean NOx Trap (if equipped)
The Lean NOx Trap (LNT) system
removes the nitrogen oxide in the
exhaust gas. The smell can occur in
the exhaust gas depending on the
quality of the fuel and it can degrade
NOx reduction performance, please
use the regulated automotive dieselfuel.
CAUTION
- Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regulated automotive diesel fuelfor diesel vehicle equipped with the DPF system.
If you use diesel fuel includinghigh sulfur (more than 50 ppmsulfur) and unspecified addi-tives, it can cause the DPF sys- tem to be damaged and whitesmoke can be emitted.
