Driving your vehicle
WARNING - Engine off
during motion
Never turn the engine off to
coast down hills or anytime the
vehicle is in motion. The power
steering and power brakes will
not function properly without the
engine running. In addition, turn-
ing off the ignition while driving
could lead to out of working
power driven steering wheel and
hard to control steering wheel.
Keep the engine on and down-
shift to an appropriate gear for
an engine braking effect.
Remember, your vehicle does not require extended warm-up. After
the engine has started, allow the
engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds
prior to placing the vehicle in gear.
In very cold weather, however, give
your engine a slightly longer warm-
up period.
Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in a
very high gear resulting in engine
bucking. If this happens, shift to a
lower gear. Over-revving is racing
the engine beyond its safe limit.
This can be avoided by shifting at
the recommended speed. Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is
operated by engine power so your
fuel economy is reduced when you
use it.
Open windows at high speeds can reduce fuel economy.
Fuel economy is less in crosswinds and headwinds. To help offset
some of this loss, slow down when
driving in these conditions.
Keeping a vehicle in good operating
condition is important both for econ-
omy and safety. Therefore, have an
authorized K900 Kia dealer perform
scheduled inspections and mainte-
nance.

Emergency towing
If towing is necessary, have it
done by an authorized K900 Kia
dealer or a commercial tow truck
service. If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow-
ing hook under the front (or rear) of
the vehicle. Use extreme caution
when towing the vehicle. A driver
must be in the vehicle to steer it and
operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speed.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.
Do not use the tow hooks to pull a
vehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the vehicle doing the towing.
The drivers of both vehicles should communicate with each other fre-
quently.
CAUTION
Using a portion of the vehicleother than the tow hooks fortowing may damage the body ofyour vehicle.

Emergency towing precautions
Turn the Engine Start/Stop button
to ACC position so the steering
wheel isn’t locked.
Place the transmission shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking bake.
Press the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will
have reduced brake performance.
More steering effort will be required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake
performance will be reduced. Stop
often and let the brakes cool off. If the car is being towed with all
four wheels on the ground, it can
be towed only from the front. Be
sure that the transmission is in
neutral. Be sure the steering is
unlocked by placing the Engine
Start/Stop button to ACC position.
A driver must be in the towed vehi-
cle to operate the steering and
brakes.CAUTION- Automatic
transmission
To avoid serious damage to the automatic, limit the vehiclespeed to 10 mph (15 km/h) anddrive less than 1 mile (1.5 km)when towing.
Before towing, check the auto- matic transmission for fluidleaks under your vehicle. If theautomatic transmission fluidis leaking, flatbed equipmentor a towing dolly must beused.
