The tachometer indicates the approxi‐
mate number of engine revolutions per minute (rpm). Use the tachometer to select the cor‐
rect shift points and to prevent lugging
and/or over-revving the engine.

Warning messages
Warning messages appear on the LCD
to warn the driver. It is located in the center of the instrument cluster.

gate is open.
Sunroof open(if equipped)
• This warning is displayed if you turn off the engine when the sunroof is
open.
Engine has overheated
• This warning message illuminates
when the engine coolant temperature
is above 120°C (248°F). This means
that the engine is overheated and may be damaged.
❈ If your vehicle is overheated, refer
to L

The engine will also restart
automatically without the driver's
any actions if the following occurs:
-The fan speed of manual climate con‐
trol system is set above the 3rd posi‐
tion when the air conditioning is on.
- The fan speed of automatic climate
control system is set above the 6th
position when the air conditioning is on.
- When a certain amount of time has
passed with the climate control sys‐
tem on.
- When the defroster is on.
- The brake vacuum pressure is low.
- The battery charging status is low.
- The vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h.
The green AUTO STOP indicator (
) on
the instrument cluster will blink for 5
seconds.
Condition of ISG system
operation

the following condition:
- The driver’s seat belt is fastened. -
The driver’s door and hood are closed.
- The brake vacuum pressure is ade‐
quate.
- The battery is sufficiently charged.
- The outside temperature is more
than -2°C (28.4°F).
- The outside temperature is under
32°C (89.6°F).
- The engine coolant temperature is
not too low.
NOTICE
•If the ISG system does not meet
that operation condition, the ISG
system is deactivated. The light on
the ISG OFF button will illuminate.
•If the light comes on continuously,
please check the operation condi‐

Making turns
When you’re turning with a trailer,
make wider turns than normal. Do this so your trailer won’t strike soft should‐
ers, curbs, road signs, trees, or other
objects. Avoid jerky or sudden maneu‐ vers. Signal well in advance.
Turn signals when towing a trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle
has to have a different turn signal flasher and extra wiring. The green ar‐
rows on your instrument panel will
flash whenever you signal a turn or lane change. Properly connected, the
trailer lights will also flash to alert oth‐
er drivers you’re about to turn, change lanes, or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green ar‐
rows on your instrument panel will
flash for turns even if the bulbs on the trailer are burned out. Thus, you may
think drivers behind you are seeing
your signals when, in fact, they are not. It’s important to check occasionally to
be sure the trailer bulbs are still work‐
ing. You must also check the lights ev‐ ery time you disconnect and then re‐
connect the wires.
Do not connect a trailer lighting system
directly to your vehicle’s lighting sys‐ tem. Use only an approved trailer wir‐
ing harness. Have yourself assisted by a professio‐
nal workshop in installing the wiring harness.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
Failure to use an approved trailerwiring harness could result in dam‐age to the vehicle electrical systemand/or personal injury.
Driving on grades
Reduce the speed and shift to a lower
gear before you start down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t shift
down, you might have to use your
brakes so much that they would get hot and no longer operate efficiently.
On a long uphill grade, shift down and
reduce your speed to around 70 km/h
(45 mph) to reduce the possibility of engine and transaxle overheating.
If your trailer weighs more than the
maximum trailer weight without trailer
brakes and you have an automatic transaxle, you should drive in D (Drive)
when towing a trailer. Operating your vehicle in D (Drive)
when towing a trailer will minimize heat build up and extend the life of
your transaxle.
CAUTION
•When towing a trailer on steepgrades (in excess of 6%) pay closeattention to the engine coolanttemperature gauge to ensure theengine does not overheat. If theneedle of the coolant temperaturegauge moves across the dial to‐wards L

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you will experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock‐
ing, the engine is probably too hot. If
this happens, you should: 1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in P (automatic transaxle) or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking
brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out un‐ der the vehicle or steam is coming
out from the hood, stop the engine.
Do not open the hood until the
coolant has stopped running or the
steaming has stopped. If there is no
visible loss of engine coolant and no
steam, leave the engine running
and check to be sure the engine
cooling fan is operating. If the fan is
not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not
missing, check to see that it is
tight.
If the drive belt seems to be satis‐
factory, check for coolant leaking
from the radiator, hoses or under
the vehicle. (If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for
cold water to be draining from it
when you stop).
WARNING
While the engine is running, keephair, hands and clothing away frommoving parts such as the fan anddrive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is bro‐ ken or engine coolant is leaking out,
stop the engine immediately and
call a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to call an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator capwhen the engine is hot. This can al‐low coolant to blow out of the open‐ing and cause serious burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor‐
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,
carefully add coolant to the reser‐
voir to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call a
professional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to call an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
•Serious loss of coolant indicatesthere is a leak in the cooling sys‐tem. In this case, have the sys‐tem checked by a professionalworkshop. Kia recommends tovisit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
•When the engine overheats fromlow engine coolant, suddenlyadding engine coolant may causecracks in the engine. To preventdamage, add engine coolantslowly in small quantities.
