AUDIO SYSTEMS
AUDIOSYSTEMS
REMINDER: To help minimize driver distraction, some audio system functionalities have been modified while the vehicle is in Drive, Reverse or moved out of Park.
Your vehicle’s audio system may differ from that in the illustration. For further audio system operation, refer to pages 23-30. For more information, refer to the Car Infotainment System Quick Reference Guide.
UVO link is currently unavailable for model year 2022 vehicles sold or purchased in Massachusetts. See UVO Terms of Service at owners.kia.com for more information.
Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that may lead to an accident, severe personal injury and death. The driver’s primary responsibility is in the safe and legal operation of a vehicle, any handheld devices, other equipment or vehicle systems which take the driver’s eyes, attention and focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or that are not permissible by law should never be used during operation of the vehicle.

• The system can register or pair multiple Bluetooth® devices
•
Volume level between different audio modes:
– When switching between audio modes (AM, FM, Bluetooth® Audio, etc.), the audio system saves the previous volume level you were listening to. For example, if you were listening to FM radio at volume level 20 then switched to Bluetooth® Audio and adjusted the volume level to 30, the volume level will be at 20 when you switch back to FM radio
– When using Bluetooth® Audio, the overall volume is dependent on your device’s volume. If the volume is turned down low on your device it will remain low even if the system volume is turned up
•To download map updates for the navigation system, go to update.kia.com. Check for updates that are generally available twice a year
•Prolonged use of the audio system in ACC mode may drain the vehicle’s battery
•A warning screen may appear periodically to remind users that the navigation system should be operated when the engine is running to prevent battery discharge
•At any time, you can interrupt the Voice Command Feedback by pressing the TALK button on the steering wheel

Auto Hold temporarily maintains the vehicle at a standstill
even though the brake pedal is not depressed after the
driver brings the vehicle to a complete stop by depressing
the brake pedal. Auto Hold can be turned On/Off using the
AUTO HOLD button B on the center panel below the gear
shift. Before Auto Hold will operate, the driver’s door, engine
hood and liftgate must be closed, and the driver’s seat belt
must be fastened.
The AUTO HOLD indicator on the Instrument Cluster
has four states:
White: Standby - With vehicle at a standstill and AUTO
HOLD button B pressed ON, the indicator will illuminate white. While driving the vehicle
(vehicle is not at a standstill), the Auto Hold indicator will remain white.
Green: Engaged - When coming to a complete stop by depressing the brake pedal, the
Auto Hold indicator changes from white to green.
Off (not illuminated) - The indicator will turn off when the AUTO HOLD
button B is manually pressed off or when the EPB is manually turned on.
Yellow: Malfunction - When the indicator is illuminated yellow, there may
be a system malfunction. Take your vehicle to a local Kia dealer.
REMINDERS:
•
Auto Hold only operates when vehicle is in Drive or Neutral
•
To reduce the risk of an accident, do not activate Auto Hold while driving downhill, backing up or parking your vehicle
•
Do not solely rely on the Auto Hold system to keep the vehicle stopped. Always pay attention to traf fic and road conditions, and be prepared to depress the brakes
Refer to page 4 for location of Instrument Cluster indicators.
Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.

The EPB will automatically release when the shifter is placed in
Reverse or Drive. To release EPB manually, depress the brake
pedal, then press the EPB switch A, with the ignition switch in
the ON position. Ensure that the indicator light is O F F.

•When leaving your keys with parking lot attendants or valet, make sure to inform them how to operate the EPB
•Pull up and hold EPB switch a second time to increase brake pressure if parked on a decline or incline
QUICK TIPS

Downhill Brake Control (DBC)†8AWD (All-Wheel Drive) Lock*
DBC helps drivers maneuver down steep hills by automatically applying
braking inputs, allowing drivers to concentrate on steering.
Press button A to turn DBC ON/OFF.
When you select AWD LOCK mode (indicator is illuminated) by pressing the
AWD LOCK button B, the AWD LOCK mode increases the drive power when
driving on wet pavement, snow-covered roads and/or on unpaved roads.
• This mode is used for climbing or descending sharp grades, driving on
unpaved roads, driving on sandy and muddy roads, etc., to improve traction
• This mode automatically begins to deactivate at speeds above 38 mph
and is shifted to AWD AUTO mode at speeds above 38 mph. If the vehicle
decelerates to speeds below approximately 38 mph, however, the transfer
mode is shifted into AWD LOCK mode again
When the AWD LOCK mode is deactivated, a shock may be felt as the drive
power is delivered entirely to the front wheels. This shock is not a mechanical
failure.
The AWD system is a supplemental system only. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully depending on road and traffic conditions. Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.(Type A shown. Located below gear shift)
•
•When on, DBC will turn OFF when button is pressed again or vehicle speed is over 38 mph
•If the red indicator illuminates, the DBC system may have malfunctioned. Take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked
QUICK TIPS
REMINDER: DBC defaults to OFF when ignition is cycled.
The DBC system is a supplemental system and does not replace the need for the driver to apply the brakes. Pay attention to road and traffic conditions and be prepared to depress the brakes.
Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
