LFA system operation
To use Lane Following Assist two
steps are necessary:
(1) LFA system has to be enabled,
and
(2) SCC system has to be activated
With the ignition switch or ENGINE
START/STOP button in the [ON],
select or release the setting from
“User setting →Driver Assistance →
Driving Assist →Lane Following
Assist”.
Select LFA system in the user setting
of the instrument panel.
The LFA system status is remem-
bered by the system and therefore
does not need to be enabled again
for each new journey.
(Continued)
- Depending on your surround-
ings and road conditions, LFA
system could fail to recognize
the lane and stop working. In
turn, extra caution is required
while driving with LFA system
on.
- Be sure to check the non-
operating conditions and cau-
tions for the driver before
using LFA system.
- Do not place reflective materi-
als such as white paper or
mirror on the crash pad.
Sunlight reflections can cause
a malfunction in LFA system.
- Too big sound from the sound
system can interrupt the
alarming sound from LFA sys-
tem.
(Continued)(Continued)
- Keeping your hands off the
wheel while driving will trigger
the hands-off warning and
deactivate the steering-assist
system. Put your hands back
on the wheel, then the steer-
ing-assist system will be re-
activated.
- When driving at a high speed,
the steering assist force can
become weak and the vehicle
can drive out of its lane. Extra
caution is required, and com-
ply with the speed limit.
- Attaching an object to the
steering wheel could deter
steering assistance.
- Attaching an object to the
steering wheel could deter the

Warning system
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
system uses radar sensors to moni-
tor the approaching cross traffic from
the left and right side of the vehicle
when your vehicle is in reverse.
The blind spot detection range varies
relative to the approaching vehicle
speed.
System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the sys-
tems by placing the START/STOP

will illuminate for 3 seconds on the
outside rearview mirror.
REAR CROSS-TRAFFIC COLLISION WARNING (RCCW) (IF EQUIPPED)
OSK3058092L
WARNING
Always be aware of road con-
ditions while driving and be
alert for unexpected situations
even though RCCW system is
operating.
RCCW system is supplemen-
tal systems to assist you. Do
not entirely rely on the sys-
tems. Always pay attention,
while driving, for your safety.
RCCW system is not substi-
tutes for proper and safe driv-
ing. Always drive safely and

Driving your vehicle
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.
Opening 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.
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, turning off the
engine start/stop button while
driving could engage the steer-
ing wheel lock, resulting in loss
of vehicle steering. Keep the
engine on and downshift to an
appropriate gear for an engine
braking effect.

What to do in an emergency
6. Ensure that the compressor is
switched off, position 0.
7. Connect between compressor and
the vehicle power outlet using the
cable and connectors (4).
8. With the engine start/stop button
position on or ignition switch posi-
tion on, switch on the compressor
and let it run for approximately 5 ~
7 minutes to fill the sealant up to
cold tire recommended pressure.
(Refer to “Tires and wheels” in
chapter 8.). Be careful not to over-
inflate the tire and stay away from
the tire when filling it. When the tire
and wheel are damaged, do not
use Tire Mobility Kit for your safety.9. Switch off the compressor.
10. Detach the hoses from the
sealant bottle connector and
from the tire valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor-
age location in the vehicle.
Distributing the sealant
11. Immediately drive approximately
7 ~ 10 km (4 ~ 6 miles or, about
10 min) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph). If possible, do not fall
below a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph).
While driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive
with caution until you can safely pull
off of the side of the road.
ODEP069008
WARNING - Carbon
monoxide
Carbon monoxide poisoning
and suffocation is possible if
the engine is left running in a
poorly ventilated or unventilat-
ed location (such as inside a
building).
ODE066040N
WARNING - Tire pressure
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tire pressure is
below 200 kPa (29 psi). This
could result in an accident due
to sudden tire failure.
