How vehicle audio works
'.
SFDFQUJPO*0/041)&3&
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around your city. They are intercepted
by the radio antenna on your vehicle.
This signal is then received by the radio and sent to your vehicle speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best possible quality reproduction. However,
in some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear.
This can be due to factors, such as the
distance from the radio station, close‐ ness of other strong radio stations or
the presence of buildings, bridges or
other large obstructions in the area.
".
SFDFQUJPO
*0/041)&3&
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts. This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequencies. These
long, low frequency radio waves can follow the curvature of the earth rath‐
er than travelling straight out into the
atmosphere. In addition, they curve around obstructions so that they can
provide better signal coverage.

ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
WARNING
nENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open thewindows immediately.•Do not inhale exhaust fumes.Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyx‐iation.
•Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If youhear 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 recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
•Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine inyour garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the vehicle out.
•Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle.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 openarea with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interi‐or.
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 wind‐shield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

pedal, it prevents you from driving
at full throttle unintentionally by
making the driver require increased
effort to depress the accelerator
pedal. However, if you depress the
pedal more than approximately 80%,
the vehicle can be at full throttle and
the accelerator pedal will be easier
to depress. This is not a malfunction
but a normal condition.
Starting the gasoline engine
1. Make sure the parking brake is ap‐plied.
2.
Manual Transaxle - Depress the
clutch pedal fully and shift the
transaxle into Neutral. Keep the
clutch pedal and brake pedal de‐
