Driving your vehicle
LFA system activation
If the vehicle is inside the lane with
both lanes recognized by the sys-
tem, and there is no steep steering
made by the driver, LFA system
changes into steering assist mode.
The indicator light will come on
green, and the system helps the
vehicle stay in line by controlling the
steering wheel.
When the steering wheel is not con-
trolled temporarily, the indicator light
will flash green and changes to
white.
When the both lanes are not recog-
nized by the system, the system con-
trols the steering wheel limitedly
whether there is a vehicle in front or
not.
Warning
If you keep your hands off the wheel
while driving with LFA system assist-
ing the steering, the hands-off warn-
ing will be triggered.
If the driver keeps hands off the
wheel even with the hands-off warn-
ing on, the steering assist is tem-
porarily released automatically.
If you put your hands back on the
wheel with LFA system released, the
steering assist will re-start.
WARNING
LFA system ensures the vehicle
stays in its lane. LFA system
does not guarantee 100% safe-
ty. Make sure you always check
road conditions and drive safe-
ly at all times.
Never completely rely on your
LFA system.

Limitation of the system
If the driver turns on the turn signallight or the emergency warning
light to change the lane
- Operate the turn signal lightswitch before changing the lane
- If you change the lane without operating the turn signal lights,
steering reaction force of the
wheel may occur.
Once LFA system is turned on or the lane is changed, the vehicle
should be in the center of the road
to switch to the steering assist
mode. If the driver keeps driving
along the lane, LFA system will not
assist the steering.
When the ESC or VSM is activat- ed, the system does not assist
steering.
When driving on a curved road at a high speed, steering assist mode
may not work.
When driving at a speed faster than 110 mph (180 km/h), steering
assist mode may not work. When sudden steering is made,
the system could be temporarily
deactivated.
If you change the lane in a hurry, the system does not assist the
steering.
If the vehicle suddenly stops, it does not assist the steering.
If the lane is too narrow or too wide, steering is not assisted.
If the system is not able to recog- nize a vehicle in front and either of
the lanes is not recognized, the
steering is not assisted
If the radius is too small for the curve  
Cautions for the driver

limited for the LFA system as shown
below, the driver may need to be
careful because it may not operate or
may cause unnecessary operation.

What to do in an emergency
If the engine stalls at a cross-
road or crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, set the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the
vehicle to a safe place.
If you have a flat tire while
driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing:
1. Take your foot off the acceleratorpedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-
ately or attempt to pull off the road
as this may cause a loss of con-
trol. When the vehicle has slowed
to such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully and pull off the
road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on firm level
ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes. 2. When the vehicle is stopped, turn
on your emergency hazard flash-
ers, set the parking brake and put
the transmission in P (Park).
3. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
4. When changing a flat tire, follow the instruction provided later in
this section.
If the engine stalls while driv-
ing
1. Reduce your speed gradually,keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the hybrid system again. If your vehicle will not start,
contact an authorized Kia dealer
or seek other qualified assistance.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If there was a check engine light and
loss of power or stall and if safe to do
so, wait at least 10 seconds to restart
the vehicle after it stalls. This may
reset the car so it will no longer run
at low power (limp home) condition.

while the vehicle is in motion, store it
properly.
Follow jacking instructions to reduce
the possibility of personal injury. Always move the vehicle complete-
ly off the road and onto the shoulder
before trying to change a tire. The
jack should be used on a firm level

cle; never use the bumpers or any
other part of the vehicle for jack
support.
Do not allow anyone to remain in the vehicle while it is on the jack.
Make sure any children present are in a secure place away from
the road and from the vehicle to be
raised with the jack.
