Floor mat anchor(s)
When using a floor mat on the floor
carpet, make sure it attaches to the
floor mat anchor(s) in your vehicle.
This keeps the floor mat from sliding
forward. The following must be observed
when installing ANY floormat to the
vehicle.
Ensure that the floormats are
securely attached to the vehicle's
floormat anchor(s) before driving
the vehicle.
Do not use ANY floormat that can- not be firmly attached to the vehi-
cle's floormat anchors.
Do not stack floormats on top of one another (e.g. all-weather rub-
ber mat on top of a carpeted floor-
mat). Only a single floormat should
be installed in each position.
IMPORTANT - Your vehicle was
manufactured with driver's side floor-
mat anchors that are designed to
securely hold the floormat in place.
To avoid any interference with pedal
operation, Kia recommends that only
the Kia floormat designed for use in
your vehicle be installed.

Features of your vehicle
The following specification is themaximum weight that can be
loaded onto the roof rack.
Distribute the load as evenly as
possible across the crossbars (if
equipped) and roof rack and
secure the load firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage in
excess of the specified weight limit
on the roof rack may damage your
vehicle.
The vehicle center of gravity will be higher when items are loaded onto
the roof rack. Avoid sudden starts,
braking, sharp turns, abrupt
maneuvers or high speeds that
may result in loss of vehicle control
or rollover resulting in an accident. Always drive slowly and turn cor-
ners carefully when carrying items
on the roof rack. Severe wind
updrafts, caused by passing vehi-
cles or natural causes, can cause
sudden upward pressure on items
loaded on the roof rack. This is
especially true when carrying
large, flat items such as wood pan-
els or mattresses. This could cause
the items to fall off the roof rack
and cause damage to your vehicle
or others around you.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo while driving, check frequently
before or while driving to make
sure the items on the roof rack are
securely fastened.Mounting bracket for roof carrier
(if equipped)
To install or remove a roof carrier,
you can use the mounting bracket
and cover on the roof.
When you install a roof carrier, do
the following procedure.
1. Insert a slim tool (coin or flat blade driver) into the slot and slide the
cover toward the arrow on the
cover.

✽ ✽NOTICE
To prevent losing the roof carrier
cover, install the cover on the roof
before you install the roof carrier.
3. After using the roof carrier, install
the cover back on the roof in the
reverse order.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If the vehicle is equipped with a sun-
roof, be sure not to position cargo
onto the roof in such a way that it
could interfere with sunroof opera-
tion.
When carrying large objects on the
roof rack, make sure they do not
exceed the overall roof length or
width.
The vehicle center of gravity will be higher when items are loaded onto
the roof. Avoid sudden starts, brak-
ing, sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers
or high speeds that may result in
loss of vehicle control or rollover
resulting in an accident.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo while driving, check frequently
before or while driving to make
sure the items on the roof are
securely fastened.
WARNING- Driving with
roof load
Always drive slow and turn cor-
ners carefully when carrying
items on the roof rack. The vehi-
cle center of gravity will be
higher when items are loaded
onto the roof rack.

Voice Recognition
✽ ✽
NOTICE
-
Using the Voice Recognition
• Voice recognition is a safety tech-
nology that recognizes user voice
commands and executes multime-
dia functions during driving.
• Unfortunately, due to technical limitations, the system is unable to
recognize all voice commands. To
address these limitations, the voice
commands that the system recog-
nizes are displayed on the screen.
Use the displayed commands.
• Because human speech varies, voice recognition is sometimes
unable to properly recognize user
voice commands. In these cases,
repeat the voice command dis-
played on the screen, or use the
button on the screen to execute the
desired function.
Precautions to ensure smooth voice
recognition
If the language setting is Korean,
voice recognition is not supported.
Voice recognition only supports voice commands indicated on-
screen or in the user manual.
For proper voice recognition, speak after the beep, which
sounds after voice notification.
Voice recognition automatically stops in the following events.
1) Outgoing and incoming phone calls.
2) Media (USB, etc.) is connected (voice recognition mode is main-
tained when iPod
®s are connected).
3) Rear camera is activated
(if
equipped)
.
4) Vehicle is started or engine is turned off.
5) Screen transition buttons, such as [RADIO] or [MEDIA], are
selected.
6) When a pop-up message is dis- played on the screen due to
accidental execution of the voice
recognition function. The voice recognition microphone
is located above the driver’s seat.
To ensure proper voice recogni-
tion, state voice commands while
maintaining proper driving posture.
Better voice recognition is possible if you speak naturally and clearly,
as you would in normal conversa-
tion.
In the following situations, outdoor noise may prevent proper voice
recognition.
1) Wind noise from an open win- dow or sunroof may disrupt
voice recognition.
2) Operating the climate blower at a high level may cause wind
noise that disrupts voice recog-
nition. The recommended set-
ting is 3 or below.
3) When passing through tunnels, vehicle echoes may disrupt
voice recognition.
4) When passing over uneven ter- rain, vehicle noise may disrupt
voice recognition.
5) Noise from rain in heavy storms may disrupt voice recognition.
