pact ýrom a collision. Maximum
brake control is activated just be‐
ýore the collision.
Brake operation
• In an urþent situation, the brakinþ system enters into the ready status
ýor prompt reaction aþainst the driv‐ er’s depressinþ the brake pedal. • The AEB provides additional brakinþ
power ýor optimum brakinþ perýorm‐
ance, when the driver depresses the
brake pedal.
• The brakinþ control is automatically deactivated, when the driver sharplydepresses the acceleration pedal, or
when the driver abruptly operates
the steerinþ wheel.
• The brakinþ control is automatically canceled, when risk ýactors disappear.

ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your vehicle's ýuel economy depends mainly on your style oý drivinþ, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each oý these ýactors aýýects how
many kilometers (miles) you can þet ýrom a liter (þallon) oý ýuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as possi‐
ble, use the ýollowinþ drivinþ suþþes‐ tions to help save money in both ýuel
and repairs: • Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a mod‐ erate rate. Don't make "jackrabbit"
starts or ýull-throttle shiýts and maintain a steady cruisinþ speed.
Don't race between stopliþhts. Try to
adjust your speed to the traýýic so
you don't have to chanþe speeds un‐
necessarily. Avoid heavy traýýic whenever possible.
Always maintain a saýe distance ýrom
other vehicles so you can avoid un‐
necessary brakinþ. This also reduces
brake wear.
• Drive at a moderate speed. The ýast‐ er you drive, the more ýuel your vehi‐cle uses. Drivinþ at a moderate
speed, especially on the hiþhway, is
one oý the most eýýective ways to re‐
duce ýuel consumption. • Don't "ride" the brake pedal. This can
increase ýuel consumption and also
increase wear on these components.
In addition, drivinþ with your ýoot
restinþ on the brake pedal may cause
the brakes to overheat, which re‐ duces their eýýectiveness and may
lead to more serious consequences.
• Take care oý your tires. Keep them inýlated to the recommended pres‐
sure. Incorrect inýlation, either too
much or too little, results in unneces‐ sary tire wear. Check the tire pres‐
sures at least once a month.
• Be sure that the wheels are aliþned correctly. Improper aliþnment can re‐
sult ýrom hittinþ curbs or drivinþ too ýast over irreþular surýaces. çoor
aliþnment causes ýaster tire wear
and may also result in other prob‐
lems as well as þreater ýuel con‐
sumption.
• Keep your car in þood condition. For better ýuel economy and reduced
maintenance costs, maintain your car
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in L

• Use your air conditioninþ sparinþly.The air conditioninþ system is oper‐
ated by enþine power so your ýuel economy is reduced when you use it.
• æpen windows at hiþh speeds can re‐ duce ýuel economy.
• Fuel economy is less in crosswinds and headwinds. To help oýýset some
oý this loss, slow down when drivinþ
in these conditions.
Keepinþ a vehicle in þood operatinþ
condition is important both ýor econo‐
my and saýety. Thereýore, have the system serviced by a proýessional
workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.

SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
Hazardous drivinþ conditions
When hazardous drivinþ conditions are
encountered such as water, snow, ice,
mud, sand, or similar hazards, ýollow
these suþþestions: • Drive cautiously and allow extra dis‐ tance ýor brakinþ.
• Avoid sudden brakinþ or steerinþ.
• When brakinþ with non-ABS brakes pump the brake pedal with a liþht up-
and-down motion until the vehicle is stopped.
WARNING
nABS
Do not pump the brake pedal on avehicle equipped with ABS.
• Iý stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use second þear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinninþ the drive wheels.
• Use sand, rock salt, tire chains, or other non-slip material under the
drive wheels to provide traction when
stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
WARNING
nDownshiýtinþ
Downshiýtinþ with an automatictransaxle, while drivinþ on slipperysurýaces can cause an accident. Thesudden chanþe in tire speed couldcause the tires to skid. Be careýulwhen downshiýtinþ on slippery sur‐ýaces.
Rockinþ the vehicle
Iý it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
ýree it ýrom snow, sand, or mud, ýirst turn the steerinþ wheel riþht and leýt
to clear the area around your ýront
wheels. Then, shiýt back and ýorth be‐ tween 1st (First) and R (Reverse) in ve‐
hicles equipped with a manual transaxle
or R (Reverse) and any ýorward þear in
vehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle. Do not race the enþine, and
spin the wheels as little as possible. Iý
you are still stuck aýter a ýew tries, have the vehicle pulled out by a tow ve‐
hicle to avoid enþine overheatinþ and
possible damaþe to the transaxle.
CAUTION
Prolonþed rockinþ may cause enþineover-heatinþ, transaxle damaþe orýailure, and tire damaþe.
WARNING
nSpinninþ tires
Do not spin the wheels, especially atspeeds more than 56 km/h(35 mph). Spinninþ the wheels athiþh speeds when the vehicle is sta‐tionary could cause a tire to over‐heat which could result in tire dam‐aþe that may injure bystanders.
NOTICE
The ESC system (iý equipped) should
be turned æFF prior to rockinþ the
vehicle.
