✽ ✽NOTICE
When opening the windows in humid
weather, air conditioning may create
water droplets inside the vehicle.
Since excessive water droplets may
cause damage to electrical equip-
ment, air conditioning should only be
used with the windows closed.
Air conditioning system operation tips
If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
To help reduce moisture inside of the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system.
During air conditioning system operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in engine
speed as the air conditioning com-
pressor cycles. This is a normal
operating characteristic of the sys-
tem.
Use the air conditioning system every month for a few minutes to
ensure maximum system perform-
ance. When using the air conditioning
system, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even puddling) on the
ground under the passenger side
of the vehicle. This is a normal
operating characteristic of the sys-
tem.
Operating the air conditioning sys- tem in the recirculated air position
provides maximum cooling, how-
ever, continual operation in this
mode may cause the air inside the
vehicle to become stale.
During cooling operation, you may occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and
humid air intake. This is a normal
operating characteristic of the sys-
tem.CAUTION - Excessive A/C
Use
When using the air conditioningsystem, monitor the tempera-ture gauge closely while drivingup hills or in heavy traffic whenoutside temperatures are high.Air conditioning system opera-tion may cause engine over-heating. Continue to use theblower fan but turn the air con-ditioning system off if the tem-perature gauge indicates engineoverheating.

Seat warmer (if equipped)
The seat warmer is provided to warm
the front seats during cold weather.
With the ignition switch in the ON
position, press either of the switches
to warm the driver's seat or the front
passenger's seat. During mild weather or under condi-
tions where the operation of the seat
warmer is not needed, keep the
switches in the “OFF” position.
Temperature control (Manual)
Each time you push up or press the switch, the temperature setting
of the seat will change as follows :
■ Front seat
■ Rear seat
The seat warmer defaults to the OFF position whenever the ignition
switch is turned on. Temperature control(Automatic)
The seat warmer starts to automati-
cally control the seat temperature in
order to prevent low-temperature
burns after being manually turned
ON.
You may manually push up the but-
ton to increase the seat temperature.
However, it soon returns to the auto-
matic mode again.
When pushing up the switch for more than 1.5 seconds with the
seat warmer operating, the seat
warmer will turn OFF.
The seat warmer defaults to the OFF position whenever the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON posi-
tion.

devices should draw less than 20
amps with the engine running. Use the power outlet only when the
engine is running and remove the
accessory plug after use. Using the
accessory plug for prolonged peri-
ods of time with the engine off could
cause the battery to discharge.
Only use 12V electric accessories which are less than 20A in electric
capacity.
Adjust the air-conditioner or heater to the lowest operating level when
using the power outlet.
Close the cover when not in use.
Some electronic devices can cause electronic interference when
plugged into a vehicle’s power out-
let. These devices may cause
excessive audio static and malfunc-
tions in other electronic systems or
devices used in your vehicle.
Push the plug in as far as it will go. If good contact is not made, the
plug may overheat and the fuse

ference. This will lead to subse-
quent malfunction or hinder good
reception of the Audio/Video and
electrical system.
Always make sure that electric add-ons are fully plugged into the
multipurpose sockets.
Insecure contacts may lead to
electrical malfunctions.

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 you hear a change in
the sound of the exhaust or if you drive
over something that strikes the under
side of the vehicle, have the exhaust
system checked as soon as possible
by an authorized K900 Kia dealer.
WARNING- Engineexhaust
Do not inhale exhaust fumes or
leave your engine running in a
enclosed area for a prolonged
time. Exhaust fumes contain
carbon monoxide, a colorless,
odorless gas that can cause
unconsciousness and death by
asphyxiation.
WARNING- Open trunk
Do not drive with the trunk
open. Poisonous exhaust gases
can enter the passenger com-
partment. If you must drive with
the trunk open proceed as fol-
lows:
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 the highest speed.
