WARNING - Tire/Wheel
size
replacing
When tires and wheels, make sure they are the same size as the original tires and wheels installed. Driving with varying tire or wheel sizes may affect the vehicle's han- dling.
Good braking practices (cid:129) Check to be sure the parking brake is not engaged and that the park- ing brake indicator light is out before driving away.
(cid:129) Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wet when the vehicle is washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Your vehicle will not stop as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet brakes may cause the vehicle to pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until the braking action returns to normal, taking care to keep the vehicle under control at all times. If the braking action does not return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call an authorized Kia dealer for assis- tance.
(cid:129) Don't coast down hills with the vehicle out of gear. This is extreme- ly hazardous. Keep the vehicle in gear at all times, use the brakes to slow down, then shift to a lower gear so that engine braking will help you maintain a safe speed.
Driving your vehicle
(cid:129) Don't "ride"
the brake pedal. Resting your foot on the brake pedal while driving can be danger- ous because the brakes might overheat and lose their effective- ness. It also increases the wear of the brake components.
(cid:129) If a tire goes flat while you are driv- ing, apply the brakes gently and keep the vehicle pointed straight ahead while you slow down. When you are moving slowly enough for it to be safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe place.
(cid:129) If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transaxle, don't let your vehicle creep forward. To avoid creeping forward, keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped.

Driving your vehicle
(cid:129) Be cautious when parking on a hill. Firmly engage the parking brake and place the shift lever in P (auto- matic transaxle) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle). If your vehicle is facing downhill, turn the front wheels into the curb to help keep the vehicle from rolling. If your vehicle is facing uphill, turn the front wheels away from the curb to help keep the vehicle from rolling. If there is no curb or if it is required by other conditions to keep the vehicle from rolling, block the wheels.
(cid:129) Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause the transaxle to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.

(cid:129) Under some conditions your park- ing brake can the engaged position. This is most like- ly to happen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the shift lever in P (automatic transaxle) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the vehicle cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.

AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB)/ FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) (IF EQUIPPED) The AEB system is to reduce or to avoid accident risk. It recognizes the distance from the vehicle ahead or the pedestrian through the sensors (i.e. radar and camera), and, if nec- essary, warns the driver of accident risk with the warning message or the warning alarms.
System setting and activation System setting The driver can activate the AEB by placing the ignition switch to the ON position and by selecting 'User Settings', 'Driving Assist', and 'Autonomous Braking System'. The AEB deactivates, when the driver cancels the system setting.
✽✽ NOTICE Take the following precautions when using the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB): • This system is only a supplemental system and it is not intended to, nor does it replace the need for extreme care and attention of the driver. The sensing range and objects detectable by the sensors are limited. Pay attention to the road conditions at all times.
WARNING - Autonomous Emergency
Braking (AEB) Limitations The AEB system is a supple- mental system and is not a sub- stitute for safe driving prac- tices. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehi- cle ahead to ensure it is safety to use the AEB system.
• NEVER drive too fast in accor- dance with the road conditions or while cornering.
• Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring. AEB does not stop the vehicle completely and does not avoid collisions.

The warning light illumi- nates on the LCD display, when you cancel the AEB system. The driver can monitor the AEB ON/OFF status on the LCD display. When the warning light remains ON with the AEB acti- vated, we recommend you to have the system checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
The driver can select the initial warn- ing activation time in the User Settings in the instrument cluster LCD display. The options for the ini- tial Forward Collision Warning include the following:
46
Prerequisite for activation The AEB will activate activated when the AEB is selected on the LCD dis- play, and when the following prereq- uisites are satisfied: - The ESC
(Electronic Stability
Control) is activated.
- The driving speed is over 6 mph. (The AEB only works within a cer- tain range of vehicle speeds)
- When the AEB recognizes a vehi- cle or the pedestrian in front. (The AEB may not recognize every obstacle or provide warnings and braking in every situation, so do not rely on the AEB to stop the vehicle in instances where the driv- er sees an obstacle and has the ability to apply the brakes)
the
this condition
(cid:129) EARLY - When
is selected, initial Forward Collision Warning is activated earlier than normal. This setting maxi- mizes the amount of dis- tance between the vehicle or pedestrian ahead before the initial warning occurs. (cid:129) NORMAL - When this condition is initial selected, Forward Collision Warning is activated nor- mally. This setting allows for a nominal amount of distance between the vehicle or pedestrian ahead before the initial warning occurs.
the
(cid:129) LATE - When
this condition
is selected, the initial Forward Collision Warning is activat- ed later than normal. This setting reduces the amount of distance between the vehicle or pedestrian ahead before the initial warning occurs.
YDM USA 5.QXP 5/1/2016 1:16 PM Page 47
AEB warning message and system control The AEB produces warning mes- sages, warning alarms, and emer- gency braking based on the level of risk of a frontal collision, such as when a vehicle ahead suddenly brakes, when there is no following dis- tance from the vehicle in front, or when it detects a collision with a pedestrian is imminent.
WARNING
Set or cancel AEB with control- ling switches on steering wheel after stopping the vehicle in the safe place for your safety.
(cid:129) The AEB automatically activates
when you turn the vehicle on. The driver can deactivate the AEB by canceling the in the system set- ting on the LCD display.

Warning message and warning light When the sensor is covered or the sensor lens is dirty with foreign sub- stances, such as snow or rain, the AEB operation may temporarily stop. In this case, a warning message (“Auto Emergency Braking disabled temporarily”) will appear to notify the driver.
This is not a malfunction with the AEB. To operate the AEB again, remove the foreign substances.
WARNING
The AEB cannot avoid all colli- sions. The AEB might not com- pletely stop the vehicle before collision, due to ambient weath- er and road conditions. The driver has the responsibility to drive safely and control the vehicle.
✽✽ NOTICE The AEB operates in accordance with the risk levels, such as the dis- tance from the vehicle/passer-by in front, the speed of the vehicle/pass- er-by in front, and the driver's vehi- cle operation.
Sensor to detect the distance from the vehicle in front (front radar)
OYDM046400
The sensor is to maintain a certain distance from the vehicle in front. However, the smudged sensor lens with foreign substances, such as snow and rain, adversely affects the sensing performance. It may even temporarily cancel the AEB. Always keep the sensor lens clean.5 49
System malfunction (cid:129) When the AEB is not working prop- ) will erly, the AEB warning light ( illuminate and the warning mes- sage (“Check AEB system”) will appear for a few seconds. After the message disappears, the master warning light ( ) will illuminate. In this case, we recommend you to have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
(cid:129) The AEB warning message may appear along with the illumination of the ESC warning light.
WARNING
The AEB is only a supplemental system for the driver’s conven- ience. The driver still maintains responsibility to control the vehicle. Do not solely depend on the AEB system. Rather, maintain a safe braking dis- tance, if necessary, depress the brake pedal to lower the driving speed.

✽✽ NOTICE • Do not install any accessories, such as a license plate bracket or bumper sticker near the sensor area. Do not replace the bumper by yourself. Doing so may adverse- ly affect the sensing performance. • Always keep the sensor/bumper
area clean.
• Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Also, do not spray highly pressurized water on the sensor installed on the bumper.
• Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the frontal sensor area. When the sensor moves out of the correct position due to external force, the system may not operate correctly even without the warning light or message. In this case, we recommend you to have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
• Use only the genuine Kia sensor cover. Do not arbitrarily apply paint on the sensor cover.

(cid:129) The AEB may unnecessarily pro- duce warning messages and warn- ing alarms. Due to the sensing lim- itation, the AEB may not produce warning messages or warning alarm at all.
(cid:129) When there is a malfunction with the AEB, the braking control does not operate upon detecting a colli- sion risk even with other braking systems normally operating.
(cid:129) The AEB operates only for the vehicle / pedestrian in front, while driving forward. It does not operate for any animals or vehicles in the opposite direction.
(cid:129) The AEB can not recognize cross- traffic or parked vehicles present- ing a side-profile.
Limitation of the system The AEB is an assistant system for a driver in a certain risky driving condi- tion and it does not take every responsibility for all risks from driving condition. The AEB monitors the driving situa- tions through the radar and the cam- era sensor. For any vehicle activity occurring outside the sensor range, the AEB may not function. The driver should exercise caution in the follow- ing situations, as the AEB operation may be limited:
Driving your vehicle
Recognizing vehicles - The radar or the camera is con- taminated with foreign substances.
- It heavily rains or snows. - There is electromagnetic interfer-
ence.
- Something in the path of travel
deflects the radar waves.
- The vehicle in front has a narrow body. (i.e. motorcycles and bicycles) - The driver’s view is degraded by driving towards sunlight, reflected light, or darkness.
- The camera cannot see the full
profile of the vehicle in front.
- The vehicle in front is a special vehicle, such as a heavily-loaded truck or a trailer.

LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) (IF EQUIPPED)
When the system detects the vehicle straying from its lane, it alerts the driver with a visual and audible warn- ing, while applying a slight counter- steering torque, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving out of its lane.
WARNING - LKAS
Limitations
The LKAS is a supplemental system and should not be solely relied upon by the driver. Do not attempt sudden steering maneu- vers while the LKAS is activated. If the vehicle is driven at high speeds, the LKAS may not adjust the steering wheel. It is the driver's responsibility to always pay attention to the road and maintain control over the steering wheel while driving.
(cid:129) The steering wheel is not continu- ously controlled so if the vehicle speed is very fast when leaving a lane the vehicle may not be con- trolled by the system.
(cid:129) It is the responsibility of the driver
to drive safely.
(cid:129) Do not steer the steering wheel suddenly when the steering wheel is being assisted by the system.
(cid:129) LKAS prevents the driver from moving out of the lane unintention- ally by assisting the driver's steer- ing. However, the driver should not solely rely on the system but always pay attention on the steer- ing wheel to stay in the lane.

Driving your vehicle
ECONOMICAL OPERATION 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 miles (kilometers) you can get from a gallon (liter) 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: (cid:129) 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.
(cid:129) 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.
80
(cid:129) 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.
(cid:129) 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. (cid:129) 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.
(cid:129) 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 section 7. If you drive your vehicle in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is required (see sec- tion 7 for details).
(cid:129) 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.
(cid:129) Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces- sary weight in your vehicle. Weight reduces fuel economy.
(cid:129) 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.
YDM USA 5.QXP 5/1/2016 1:18 PM Page 81
(cid:129) 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.
(cid:129) 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.
(cid:129) Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is operated by engine power so your fuel economy is reduced when you use it.
(cid:129) Open windows at high speeds can
reduce fuel economy.
(cid:129) Fuel economy is reduced by cross- winds and headwinds. To help off- set 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.
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, turning off the ignition 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 engine braking effect.

SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS Hazardous driving conditions When hazardous driving conditions are encountered such as water, snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar haz- ards, follow these suggestions: (cid:129) Drive cautiously and allow extra
distance for braking.
(cid:129) Avoid sudden braking or steering. (cid:129) When braking with non-ABS brakes pump the brake pedal with a light up-and-down motion until the vehicle is stopped.
82
Do not pump the brake pedal on a vehicle equipped with ABS. (cid:129) If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use second gear. Accelerate slow- ly to avoid spinning the drive wheels.
(cid:129) Use sand, rock salt, tire chains, or other non-slip material under the drive wheels to provide traction when stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
WARNING - Downshifting Do not downshift with an auto- matic transaxle while driving on slippery surfaces. The sudden change in tire speed could cause the tires to skid and result in an accident.
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 1st (First) and R (Reverse) in vehicles equipped with a manual transaxle or R (Reverse) and any forward gear in vehicles equipped with automatic transaxle. Do not race the engine, and spin the wheels as little as pos- sible. If you are still stuck after a few tries, have the vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid engine overheat- ing and possible damage to the transaxle. The ESC system should be turned OFF prior to rocking the vehicle.
an
CAUTION - Vehicle rocking
Prolonged rocking may cause engine overheating, transaxle damage or failure,and tire dam- age.
