1.Press the Engine Start/Stop Buttontwice to the ON position.
2.Close the window and continue pulling up on the driver’s power
window switch for at least 1 second
after the window is completely
closed.
Automatic reversal
If the upward movement of the win-
dow is blocked by an object or part of
the body, the window will detect the
resistance and will stop upward
movement. The window will then
lower approximately 11.8 in. (30 cm)
to allow the object to be cleared.
If the window detects the resistance
while the power window switch is
pulled up continuously, the window
will stop upward movement then
lower approximately 1 in. (2.5 cm).
And if the power window switch is pulled
up continuously again within 5 seconds
after the window is lowered by the auto-
matic window reversal feature, the auto-
matic window reversal will not operate. The automatic reverse feature for the
driver’s window is only active when
the “auto up” feature is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse feature will not operate if the
window is raised using the halfway
position on the power window switch.
The automatic reverse feature does-
n’t activate while resetting power
window system. Make sure body
parts or other objects are safely out
of the way before closing the win-
dows to avoid injuries or vehicle
damage.

Always check for obstructions
before raising any window to
avoid injuries or vehicle damage.
If an object less than 0.16 in. (4
mm) in diameter is caught
between the window glass and
the upper window channel, the
automatic reverse window may
not detect the resistance and will
not stop and reverse direction.

Refueling& Vehicle fires
When refueling, always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related
to the engine can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. Once
refueling is complete, check to
make sure the filler cap and
filler door are securely closed,
before starting the engine.
WARNING
Smoking
DO NOT use matches or a
lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or
leave a lit cigarette in your vehi-
cle while at a gas station espe-
cially during refueling.
Automotive fuel is highly flam-
mable and can, when ignited,
result in fire.
WARNING
Exterior paint
Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any
type of fuel spilled on painted
surfaces may damage the paint.
CAUTION
Do not pull the handle exces-
sively, otherwise the luggage

STEERING WHEEL
Electronic Hydraulic Power
Steering (EHPS)
This system uses an electromotor to
assist you with steering the vehicle.
If the engine is turned off or if the
EHPS becomes inoperative, you
may still steer the vehicle, but it will
require increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the EHPS
checked by an authorized K900 Kia
dealer.
✽NOTICE
If the EHPS motor pump malfunc-
tions, the steering effort will greatly
increase.
✽NOTICE
If the vehicle is parked for extended
periods outside in cold weather
(below 14°F/-10°C), the power steer-
ing may require increased effort
when the engine is first started. This
is caused by increased fluid viscosity
due to the cold weather and does not
indicate a malfunction.
When this happens, increase the
engine RPM by depressing accelera-
tor until the RPM reaches 1,500 rpm
then release or let the engine idle for
two or three minutes to warm up the
fluid.
Tilt Steering/Telescope Steering
Adjust the steering wheel angle (2)
and position (3) with the knob (1) on
the steering column. Move the steer-
ing wheel, so it points toward your
chest, not toward your face. Make
sure you can see the instrument
panel warning lights and gauges.
After adjusting, push the steering
wheel both up and down to be cer-
tain it is locked in position. Always
adjust the position of the steering
wheel before driving.
Do not hold the steering wheel
to the extreme right or left for
more than five (5) seconds with
the engine running. This may
cause damage to the EHPS
motor pump.

If the brake fluid level in the reservoir
is low:
1.Drive carefully to the nearest safelocation and stop your vehicle.
2.With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately and
add fluid as required (For more
details, refer to “Brake Fluid” in
chapter 7).
Then check all brake components
for fluid leaks. If any leaks in the
brake system is still found, the
warning light remains on, or the
brakes do not operate properly, do
not drive the vehicle.
In this case, have your vehicle
towed to an authorized K900 Kia
dealer and inspected. Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys-
tems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal
travel and greater pedal pressure are
required to stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance with only a portion
of the brake system working.
If the brakes fail while you are driv-
ing, shift to a lower gear for addition-
al engine braking and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Driving the vehicle with a warning
light ON is dangerous. If the Parking
Brake & Brake Fluid Warning Light
illuminates with the parking brake
released, it indicates that the brake
fluid level is low.
In this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized K900 Kia
dealer.
