Driving your vehicle
If the speed of the vehicle is over64 km/h (40 mph) and the system
detects lane markers, the color
changes from gray to white. When the conditions below are met,
LKA system will be enabled to assist
steering.
Vehicle speed is above 64 km/h
(40 mph).
Both lane markers are detected by LKA system.
The vehicle is between the lane markers.
If LKA system can assist steering, a
green steering wheel indicator will
illuminate.
Warning
If the vehicle leaves a lane, the lane marker you cross will blink on
the LCD display.

If the vehicle moves out its lane
because steering torque for assis-
tance is not enough, the line indi-
cator will blink.
If all the conditions to activate LKA system are not satisfied, the sys-
tem will convert to LDW system
(Lane Departure Warning) and
only warn the driver when the driv-
er crosses the lane lines. In this
scenario, the LDW system does
not provide any steering inputs into
the vehicle for you. Accordingly,
you must take the necessary steps
to maintain control of the vehicle
and keep it within the lanes.
If the driver takes hands off the steer-
ing wheel for several seconds while
the LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver.✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel while driving.
• If you hold the steering wheel with a light grip, the system may also
generate the hands off warning.
If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after
several seconds, the system will only
warn the driver when the driver
crosses the lane lines. In this sce-
nario, the system does not provide
any steering inputs into the vehicle
for you. Accordingly, you must take
the necessary steps to maintain con-
trol of the vehicle and keep it within
the lanes.
However, if the driver has their hands
on the steering wheel again, the sys-
tem will again provide steering inputs
if it detects the vehicle leaving the
lane.

✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Even though the steering is assist-
ed by the system, the driver may
control the steering.
• The steering wheel may feel heav- ier when the steering wheel is
assisted by the system than when it
is not.
The system will be cancelled when:
You change lanes with the turn sig-
nal.
- Using the turn signal to change lanes.
- If you change lanes without the turn signal on, the steering wheel
control may be affected by LKA.
LKA system can transit to steering assist mode when the car is near
to middle of the lane after system
on or the lane was changed.
LKA system can not assist steering if the vehicle follows lane marker
too close continuously before tran-
sition to steering assist mode.
The control of ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or VSM (Vehicle
Stability Management) is activated.
The steering will not be assisted when you drive fast on a sharp
curve.
The steering will not be assisted when vehicle speed is below 64
km/h (40 mph) and over 180 km/h
(110 mph). Always obey all traffic
laws and drive safely.
WARNING
The LKA system is a supple-mental system only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
safely steer the vehicle and to
maintain it in its lane.
Even though the steering is assisted by the system, the
driver may control the steer-
ing wheel.
Turn off the LKA system and drive without the use of the
system in the following situa-
tions:
- In bad weather
- In bad road conditions
- When the steering wheelneeds to be controlled by the
driver frequently.
The steering wheel may feel heavier when the steering
wheel is assisted by the sys-
tem than when it is not.

The steering will not be assisted
when you change lanes quickly.
The steering will not be assisted when you brake suddenly.
The steering will not be assisted when the lane is very wide or nar-
row.
The steering will not be assisted when only one side lane marker is
detected.
There are more than two lane markers such as a construction
area.
Radius of a curve is too small.
When you turn steering wheel sud- denly, the LKA system will be dis-
abled temporarily.
Driving on a steep slope or hill.Driver’s attention
The driver must be cautious in the
following situations because the sys-
tem is limited when recognition of the
lane marker is poor or limited:
 When lane and road condition is
poor
- It is difficult to distinguish the lane marker from road when the lane
marker is covered with dust or
sand.
- It is difficult to distinguish the color of the lane marker from road.
- There is something that looks like a lane marker.
- The lane marker is indistinct or damaged.
- The number of lanes increases/ decreases or the lane lines are
crossing (Driving through a toll
plaza/toll gate, merged/divided
lane).
- There are more than two lane markers. - The lane marker is very thick or
thin.
- The lane marker is not visible due to snow, rain, stain, a puddle or
other factors.
- A shadow is on the lane marker because of a median strip,
guardrail, noise barriers or other
objects.
- When the lane markers are compli- cated or a structure substitutes for
the lines such as a construction
area.
- There are crosswalk signs or other symbols on the road.
- The lane suddenly disappears such as at the intersection.
- The lane marker in a tunnel is cov- ered with dirt or oil and etc.

Lane Departure
LDW alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the system will not
provide steering inputs. When the
vehicle’s front wheel contacts the
inside edge of lane line, LKA system
issues the lane departure warning.
Standard LKA
The Standard LKA mode guides the
driver to keep the vehicle within the
lanes. It provides inputs to the steer-
ing when the vehicle is about to devi-
ate from the lanes.
Active LKA
The active inputs to the LKA mode
provides more frequent steering in
comparison with the Standard LKA
mode.

Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many kilometers (miles) you can get
from a liter (gallon) of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as pos-
sible, use the following driving sug-
gestions to help save money in both
fuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a
moderate rate. Don't make "jack-
rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts
and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't race between stop-
lights. Try to adjust your speed to
the traffic so you don't have to
change speeds unnecessarily.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway,
is one of the most effective ways to
reduce fuel consumption. Don't "ride" the brake pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and
also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In addition, driving with
your foot resting on the brake pedal
may cause the brakes to overheat,
which reduces their effectiveness
and may lead to more serious con-
sequences.
Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary tire wear. Check the tire
pressures at least once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper align-
ment can result from hitting curbs
or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes
faster tire wear and may also result
in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption. Keep your vehicle in good condi-
tion. For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain your vehicle in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in
chapter 7. If you drive your vehicle
in severe conditions, more frequent
maintenance is required (see
chapter 7 for details).
Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi- mum service, your vehicle should
be kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be
allowed to accumulate on the
underside of the vehicle. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to
corrosion.
Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces- sary weight in your vehicle. Weight
reduces fuel economy.
Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.
ECONOMICAL OPERATION

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 Kia dealer perform
scheduled inspections and mainte-
nance.

Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar haz-
ards, follow these suggestions:
Drive cautiously and allow extra
distance for braking.
Avoid sudden braking or steering.
When braking with non-ABS brakes pump the brake pedal with
a light up-and-down motion until
the vehicle is stopped.
Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS. If stalled in snow, mud, or sand,
use the second gear. Accelerate
slowly to avoid spinning the drive
wheels.
Use sand, rock salt, or other non- slip material under the drive
wheels to provide traction when
stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle
to free it from snow, sand, or mud,
first turn the steering wheel right and
left to clear the area around your
front wheels. Then, shift back and
forth between R (Reverse) and any
forward gear in vehicles equipped
with an Automatic Transmission. Do
not race the engine, and spin the
wheels as little as possible. If you are
still stuck after a few tries, have the
vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle to
avoid engine overheating and possi-
ble damage to the transmission.
SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
WARNING- Downshifting
Do not downshift with an auto-
matic transmission while driv-
ing on slippery surfaces. The
sudden change in tire speed
could cause the tires to skid
and result in an accident.
WARNING- Sudden
Vehicle Movement
Do not attempt to rock the vehi-
cle if people or objects are near-
by. The vehicle may suddenly
move forward or backwards as it
becomes unstuck.
