\334Warning
0024Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that
may lead to an accident, severe bodily injury, or death. The driver′s
primary responsibility is the safe and legal operation of the vehicle,
and the use of any vehicle systems, including the touch screen and
steering wheel controls, which take the driver′s eyes, attention, and
focus away from the safe operation of the vehicle, or which are not
permissible by law, should never be used during the operation of the
vehicle.
0024Some functions may be disabled for safety reasons while the vehicle
is moving. They work only when the vehicle stops. Park your vehicle
in a safe location before using any of them.
0024Stop using the system if it malfunctions, such as no audio output or
display. If you continue using the system when it is malfunctioning, it
may lead to a fire, electric shock, or system failure.
\335Caution
0024You can turn on the system when the key ignition switch is placed in
the ″ACC″ or ″ON″ position. Using the system for an extended period
without the engine running drains the battery. If you plan on using
the system for a long time, start the engine.
0024If you turn on your system without starting the engine, a battery
warning will appear. Once the engine starts, the battery warning will
disappear.

Using Bluetooth
Connecting Bluetooth devices
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless networking technology. Via
Bluetooth, you can connect nearby mobile devices wirelessly to send and
receive data between connected devices. This enables you to use your
devices effectively.
To use Bluetooth, you must first connect a Bluetooth-enabled device to
your system, such as a mobile phone or an MP3 player. Ensure that the
device you want to connect supports Bluetooth.
\334Warning
Park your vehicle in a safe location before connecting Bluetooth devices.
Distracted driving can cause a traffic accident and lead to personal injury
or death.
\333Note
0024On your system, you can use only Bluetooth Handsfree and Audio
features. Connect a mobile device that supports the Bluetooth
Handsfree or Audio feature.

functional compatibility, visit the KIA Motors America website (https://

automatically to the system when you turn on the system.
