Driving your vehicle
WARNING- ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle,
open the windows immediately.
• Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colourless, odourless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death
by asphyxiation.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose.
If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side
of the vehicle, have the system checked by a professional workshop Kia.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the
engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the vehicle out.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the vehicle, be sure to do so only in
an open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn
into the interior.
If you must drive with the tailgate/trunk open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the
windscreen are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

3.Turn the ignition switch to the ONposition to pre-heat the engine.
Then the glow indicator light will
illuminate.
4.If the glow indicator light goes out, turn the ignition switch to the STARTposition and hold it there until the
engine starts (a maximum of 10 sec-
onds), then release the key.
✽✽ NOTICE
If the engine does not start within 10
seconds after the preheating is com-
pleted, turn the ignition key once
more to the LOCK position for 10
seconds, and then to the ON posi-
tion, in order to preheat again.
Starting and stopping the engine for
turbocharger intercooler
1.Do not race or accelerate the engine immediately after starting.
If the engine is cold, idle for sever-
al seconds before sufficient lubri-cation is ensured in the tur-bocharger unit.
2.After high speed or extended driv- ing, requiring a heavy engine load,
run the engine on idle condition
about 1 minute before turning it off.
This idle time will allow the tur-
bocharger to cool prior to shutting
the engine off. Stopping manual transaxle vehicles
1. After safely parking the vehicle,
press the clutch pedal and brake
pedal at the same time.
2. Whilst depressing the clutch pedal and brake pedal at the same time,
shift the transaxle lever to 'N'.

Starting and stopping the engine for
turbocharger intercooler
1.Do not race or accelerate the engine immediately after starting.
If the engine is cold, idle for sever-
al seconds before sufficient lubri-cation is ensured in the tur-bocharger unit.
2.After high speed or extended driv- ing, requiring a heavy engine load,
idle the engine about 1 minute
before turning it off.
This idle time will allow the tur-
bocharger to cool prior to shutting
the engine off. Stopping manual transaxle vehicles
1. After safely parking the vehicle,
press the clutch pedal and brake
pedal at the same time.
2. Whilst depressing the clutch pedal and brake pedal at the same time,

Even if the smart key is in the vehi- cle, if it is far away from you, the
engine may not start.
When the engine start/stop button is in the ACC position or above, if
any door is opened, the system
checks for the smart key. If the
smart key is not in the vehicle, a
message “Key not in vehicle” will
appear on the LCD display. And ifall doors are closed, the chime will
sound for 5 seconds. The indicator
or warning will turn off whilst the
vehicle is moving. Always have the
smart key with you.
CAUTION

diately after it has been subject-ed to a heavy load. Doing so may cause severe damage tothe engine or turbocharger unit.

Your vehicle may be equipped with the ISG system, which reduces fuel
consumption by automatically shut-
ting down the engine, when the vehi-
cle is at a standstill. (For example :

✽✽NOTICE
When the engine automatically
starts by the ISG system, some
warning lights (ABS, ESC, ESC
OFF, EPS or Parking brake warn-
ing light) may turn on for a few sec-
onds.
This happens because of low battery
voltage. It does not mean the system
has malfunctioned.
