kia, the company

Congratulations! Your selection of a Kia was a wise investment. It

will give you years of driving pleasure. Now that you are the owner of

a Kia vehicle, you’ll probably be asked a lot of questions about your

vehicle and the company like “What is a Kia?”, “Who is Kia?”, “What

does ‘Kia’ mean?”.

Here are some answers. First, Kia is the oldest car company in Korea.

It is a company that has thousands of employees focused on building

high-quality vehicles at affordable prices.

The first syllable, Ki , in the word “Kia” means “to arise from to the

world” or “to come up out of to the world.” The second syllable, a,

means “Asia.” So, the word Kia, means “to arise from” or “to come

up out of Asia to the world.”

Drive safely and enjoy your Kia!

303

Safety belt restraint system We strongly recommend that the driverand all passengers be properlyrestrained at all times by using the safetybelts provided with the vehicle. Proper

use of the safety belts decreases the riskof severe injury or death in accidents orsudden stops. In most states, and inCanada, the law requires their use.

All seats have lap/shoulder belts. Inertiallocks in the safety belt retractors allow allof the lap/shoulder safety belts to remainunlocked during normal vehicle opera-tion. This allows the occupants somefreedom of movement and increased

comfort while using the safety belts. If aforce is applied to the vehicle, such as astrong stop, a sharp turn, or a collision,the safety belt retractors will automatical-ly lock the safety belts.

Since the inertial locks do not require acollision in order to lock up, you maybecome aware of the safety belts lockingwhile braking or going around sharp cor-ners.

Always use the rear seat position(s) toinstall your child restraint(s).

The rear safety belts use a special auto-lock feature designed to allow a childrestraint to be used in these positionswithout an added locking clip. They nor-mally lock only under extreme or emer-gency conditions (emergency lockmode). However they can be adjusted sothat they remain fixed and locked when achild restraint system is placed in thesepositions. (Use this auto-lock mode onlyto secure a child restraint, never for pas-sengers restrained by the safety belts.)Page 3-42 gives instructions on placingthe safety belt in the auto lock mode.

The drivers safety belt can only operatein the emergency lock mode.

WARNING - Safety beltsTo minimize the risk of serious orfatal injury in an accident, the driv-er and all passengers should usethe appropriate safety restraints fortheir age and size. The presence ofair bags does not change the needto be properly restrained by a safe-ty belt or size-appropriate childrestraint. In fact, air bags aredesigned to work the best whenpassengers are correctly restrainedin the vehicle.

• Be sure you are familiar with theinformation in this section,including the information oninfant and child restraints.

• Read the safety warnings on thesun visors of your vehicle also.

WARNING - Child restraintin front seat

Never install a child restraint sys-

tem in the front passenger position,as an inflating air bag could causeserious or fatal injury to a child inthat position.




3 31

Safety belts provide the best restraintwhen:

• The seatback is upright.

• The occupant is sitting upright (not

slouched).• The lap belt is snug across the hips.

• The shoulder belt is snug across thechest.

• The knees are straight forward.

WARNING - After a collision

• Lap/shoulder belt assembliesmay be stretched or damagedwhen subjected to the stress and

forces of a collision.• The entire restraint system

should be inspected followingany collision. All belts, retractors,anchors and hardware damagedby a collision should be replacedbefore the vehicle is operatedagain.

WARNING - Cargo area(if equipped)

Passengers should never be

allowed to ride in the cargo area ofa vehicle. No safety belts are pro-vided for the cargo area. Personsriding in the vehicle without a fas-tened safety belt are much morelikely to suffer serious bodily injuryor death during an accident.

WARNING - Twisted belts

A twisted or jammed safety beltcannot restrain you properly. If youcannot untwist or unjam the safetybelt, have an authorized Kia dealerservice it immediately. Never driveor ride with a twisted or jammedsafety belt.

WARNING - Belt useSafety belts must be used correctlyto work properly in an accident.

Each seating position in your vehi-cle has a specific safety belt assem-bly that includes a buckle andtongue designed to be used togeth-er.Failure to heed these warnings andfollow these instructions willincrease the risk and severity ofinjuries and the likelihood of deathin an accident.

• Use the shoulder portion of the

safety belt on the outside shoul-der only. Never wear the shoulderportion under the arm.

• Never swing the safety beltaround your neck to fit over theinside shoulder.

(Continued)

WARNING - Safety beltcare

• A damaged belt may not give you

the protection you need in anaccident.

• Inspect your safety belts periodi-cally for excessive wear or dam-age. Pull out each belt fully andlook for fraying, cuts, burns orother damage. Pull the safety beltout and let it retract a number oftimes. Make sure that thelap/shoulder belts return smooth-ly and easily into the retractor.

• Check the latches to make surethey latch and release withoutinterference or delay.

• Never close the doors on any partof the lap or shoulder belt.

• Any belt not in good condition orin good working order should bepromptly replaced.

CAUTIONNever close the doors on any part of the lap or shoulder belt. It can

damage the safety belt or buckle which could increase the risk of injury in case of an accident.

(Continued)

• Never wear the shoulder portionof the safety belt across the neckor face.

• Wear the lap portion as low aspossible. Be sure that the lap beltfits snugly around the hips.Never wear a lap portion of alap/shoulder belt over your waist;it should always go over thestronger area of your hips.

• Never use a single safety belt formore than one person.

• The front seatbacks shouldalways remain in a comfortable,upright position when the vehicleis moving.

Restraint of pregnant women

Pregnant women should wear lap/shoul-der belt assemblies whenever possibleaccording to specific recommendations

by their doctors. The lap portion of thebelt should be worn AS SNUGLY ANDLOW AS POSSIBLE.

Restraint of infants and smallchildren

To increase their safety, infants andyoung children should always be

restrained by a restraint systemapproved for their age and size.

Never allow a child to stand or kneel onthe seat of a moving vehicle. Never allowa safety belt to be placed around both achild and an adult or around two childrenat the same time.

It is best for children to be seated in therear seats.

Many companies manufacture child

restraint systems (often called childseats) for infants and small children. Anacceptable child restraint system mustalways satisfy Canadian Motor VehicleSafety Standards. Make sure that anychild-restraint system you use in yourvehicle is labelled as complying withFederal Safety Standards.

The child-restraint system should bechosen to fit both the size of the child andthe size of the vehicle seat.Be sure to fol-

low any instructions provided by thechild-restraint system manufacturerwhen installing the child-restraint system.

WARNING - Pregnantwomen

Pregnant women must never placethe lap portion of the safety beltover the area of the abdomen wherethe fetus is located or above theabdomen where the belt couldcrush the fetus during an impact.

WARNINGDo not bleach or dye the webbingbecause this may weaken the web-

bing fibers and allow them to failwhen loaded in a collision.




3 41

Restraint of larger children

As children grow, they may need to usenew child-restraint systems, includinglarger child seats or booster seats, which

are appropriate for their increased size.A child who has outgrown available child-restraint systems should use the beltsprovided in the vehicle. When seated inthe rear outboard seats, the child shouldbe restrained by the lap/shoulder belt.

If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-es the child’s neck or face, try placing thechild closer to the center of the vehicle. Ifthe shoulder belt still touches their faceor neck they need to be returned to a

child restraint system. In addition, after-market devices are available from inde-pendent manufacturers which help pullthe shoulder belt down and away fromthe child’s face or neck.

WARNING - Infants andyoung children

• Infants and young children are at

much greater risk of seriousinjury or death in an accident orsudden stop if they are unre-strained or restrained improperly.Follow all instructions in this sec-tion and the instructions thatcame with an approved childsafety system. The child restraintmust be correctly installed in thevehicle, and the child must becorrectly placed in the childrestraint.

• All children under 12 are safest inthe back seat.

• Never install a rear facing infantseat in the front passenger posi-tion. The baby will be injured orkilled by the air bag if it deploys.

• Never allow a child to stand orkneel on the seat of a movingvehicle.

WARNING - Children onlaps

Never hold a child on your lap or in

your arms in a moving vehicle.Even a very strong person cannothold onto a child in the event ofeven a minor collision.

CAUTION - Hot metal partsSafety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that has been closed during warm/hot weather; they could burn a child. Check

seats, seatbelt webbing and buckles before you place a child anywhere near them.

WARNING - Shoulder beltson small children

• Never allow a shoulder belt to bein contact with a child’s neck orface while the vehicle is in motion.

• If safety belts are not properlyworn and adjusted, there is a riskof death or serious injury to sucha child.




423

Child restraint system

For small children and babies, the use ofa child seat or infant seat is strongly rec-ommended and is required by law in

almost all states.This child seat or infantseat should be of appropriate size for thechild and should be installed in accor-dance with the manufacturer's instruc-tions.

Children riding in the car should sit onthe rear seat and must always be proper-ly restrained to minimize the risk of injuryin an accident, sudden stop or suddenmaneuver. According to accident statis-tics, children are safer when properly

restrained in the rear seats than in thefront seat.

Child restraint systems are designed tobe secured in vehicle seats by lap beltsor the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulderbelt, or by a LATCH system (if equipped).

Children could be injured or killed in acrash if their restraints are not properlysecured. For small children and babies, achild seat or infant seat must be used.Before buying a particular child restraint

system, make sure it fits your car andseat belts, and fits your child. Follow allthe instructions provided by the childseat manufacturer when installing thechild restraint system.

1JBH3051

WARNING - Child

restraints• A child restraint system must be

placed in the rear seat. Neverinstall a child or infant seat on thefront passenger’s seat.

Should an accident occur andcause the passenger air bag todeploy, it could severely injure orkill an infant or child seated in thefront seat.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Since a safety belt or childrestraint system can become veryhot if it is in a closed vehicle, be

sure to check the seat cover andbuckles before placing a childthere.

• When the child restraint systemis not in use, store it in the trunkor fasten it with a safety belt sothat it will not be thrown forwardin the case of a sudden stop or anaccident.

• Children who are too large to bein a child restraint should sit in

the rear seat and be restrainedwith the available lap/shoulderbelts.

• When using the vehicleslap/shoulder safety belts, alwaysmake sure that the shoulder beltportion is positioned midway overthe shoulder, never across theneck or behind the back. The lapbelt portion of the lap/shoulderbelt must always be positioned as

low as possible on the child's hipsand as snug as possible.

(Continued)




3 43

Installing a child restraint system

For safety reasons, we recommend thatthe child restraint system be used in therear seats.

Never place a rear-facing childrestraint in the front passenger seat,because of the danger that an inflat-ing passenger side air bag couldimpact the rear-facing child restraintand kill the child.

Since all passenger safety belts movefreely under normal conditions and onlylock under extreme or emergency condi-tions (emergency lock mode), you mustmanually change these safety belts to

the auto lock mode to secure a childrestraint.

(Continued)

• If the vehicle’s safety belt will notproperly fit the child, you mustuse an appropriate child restraint

or booster seat in the rear.• Never allow a child to stand up or

kneel while the vehicle is moving.

• Never use an infant carrier orchild seat that "hooks" over aseatback. It will not provide ade-quate protection in an accident.

• Never allow a child to be heldwhile they are in a moving vehi-cle, as this could result in seriousinjury or death to the child in the

event of an accident or suddenstop. Holding a child in a movingvehicle does not provide the childwith any protection during anaccident, even if the person hold-ing the child is wearing a seatbelt.

WARNING - Child seatinstallation

• Before installing the child

restraint system, read the instruc-tions supplied by the childrestraint system manufacturer.

• If the safety belt does not operateas described in this section, havethe system checked immediatelyby your authorized Kia dealer.

• Failure to observe this manual'sinstructions regarding childrestraint system and the instruc-tions provided with the child

restraint system could increasethe chance and/or severity ofinjury or death in an accident.

Placing a passenger safety beltinto the auto lock mode

The use of the auto lock mode willensure that the normal movement of the

child in the vehicle does not cause thesafety belt to be pulled out and loosenthe firmness of its hold on the childrestraint system. To secure a childrestraint system, use the following proce-dure.

Installing a child restraint system bylap/shoulder belt

To install a child restraint system on theoutboard or center rear seats, do the fol-lowing:

1. Place the child restraint system in theseat and route the lap/shoulder beltaround or through the restraint, follow-ing the restraint manufacturer’sinstructions. Be sure the safety beltwebbing is not twisted.

2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch intothe buckle. Listen for the distinct “click”

sound.Position the release button so that it is easy to access in case of an emergency.

3. Pull the shoulder portion of the safetybelt all the way out.When the shoulder

portion of the safety belt is fullyextended, it will shift the retractor tothe “Auto Lock” (child restraint) mode.

4. Slowly allow the shoulder portion ofthe safety belt to retract and listen for

an audible “clicking” or “ratcheting”sound. This indicates that the retractoris in the “Auto Lock” mode. If no distinctsound is heard, repeat steps 3 and 4.

5. Remove as much slack from the beltas possible by pushing down on the

child restraint system while feeding theshoulder belt back into the retractor.

6. Push and pull on the child restraintsystem to confirm that the safety belt isholding it firmly in place. If it is not,release the safety belt and repeatsteps 2 through 6.

7. Double check that the retractor is inthe “Auto Lock” mode by attempting topull more of the safety belt out of theretractor. If you cannot, the retractor is

in the “Auto Lock” mode.To remove the child restraint, press therelease button on the buckle and thenpull the lap/shoulder belt out of therestraint and allow the safety belt toretract fully.

When the safety belt is allowed toretract to its fully stowed position, theretractor will automatically switchfrom the “Auto Lock” mode to theemergency lock mode for normaladult usage.

Securing a child restraint seat with “Tether Anchor” system (if equipped)

Child restraint hook holders are locatedon the shelf or floor behind the rear

seats.1. Open the tether anchor cover on the

shelf or floor behind the rear seats.

2. Route the child restraint seat strapover the seatback.

For vehicles with adjustable headrest,route the tether strap under the head-rest and between the headrest posts,otherwise route the tether strap overthe top of the seatback.

3. Connect the tether strap hook to thecorresponding hook holder and tightento secure the seat.

WARNING - Auto lockmode

The lap/shoulder belt automaticallyreturns to the “emergency lockmode” whenever the belt is allowedto retract fully. Therefore, the pre-ceding seven steps must be fol-lowed each time a child restraint isinstalled.

If the safety belt is not placed in the“Auto lock” mode, severe injury ordeath could occur to the childand/or other occupants in the vehi-cle in a collision, since the childrestraint will not be effectively heldin place.

Child seat lower anchors

Some child seat manufacturers make

child restraint seats that are labeled asLATCH or LATCH-compatible childrestraint system. LATCH stands for"Lower Anchors and Tethers forChildren". These seats include two rigidor webbing mounted attachments thatconnect to two LATCH anchors at specif-ic seating positions in your vehicle. Thistype of child restraint seat eliminates theneed to use seat belts to attach the childseat in the rear seats.

Child restraint symbols are located onthe left and right rear seat backs to indi-

cate the position of the lower anchors forchild restraints.

WARNING - Child restraintcheck

Check that the child restraint sys-tem is secured by pushing andpulling it in different directions.Incorrectly fitted child restraintsmay swing, twist, tip or come awaycausing death or injury.

WARNING - Child restraintanchorage

• Child restraint anchorages aredesigned to withstand only those

loads imposed by correctly fittedchild restraints. Under no circum-stances are they to be used foradult seat belts or harnesses orfor attaching other items orequipment to the vehicle.

• The tether strap may not workproperly if attached somewhereother than the correct tetheranchor.

LATCH anchors have been provided inyour vehicle. The LATCH anchors arelocated in the left and right outboard rearseating positions. Their locations areshown in the illustration. There is noLATCH anchor provided for the centerrear seating position.

The LATCH anchors are located betweenthe seatback and the seat cushion of therear seat left and right outboard seatingpositions.

Follow the child seat manufacturer’sinstructions to properly install child

restraint seats with LATCH or LATCH-compatible attachments.

Once you have installed the LATCH childrestraint, assure that the seat is properlyattached to the LATCH and tetheranchors. Also, test the child restraint seatbefore you place the child in it. Tilt the

seat from side to side. Also try to tug theseat forward. Check to see if the anchorshold the seat in place.

WARNING - LATCHAnchors

If the child restraint is not anchoredproperly, the risk of a child beingseriously injured or killed in a colli-sion greatly increases.

WARNING - LATCH loweranchors

LATCH lower anchors are only to beused with the left and right rear out-board seating positions. Neverattempt to attach an LATCHequipped seat in the center seatingposition. You may damage theanchors or the anchors may fail and

break in a collision.

WARNINGWhen using the vehicle's "LATCH"system to install a child restraintsystem in the rear seat, all unusedvehicle rear seat belt metal latchplates or tabs must be latchedsecurely in their seat belt bucklesand the seat belt webbing must beretracted behind the child restraintto prevent the child from reachingand taking hold of unretracted seatbelts. Unlatched metal latch platesor tabs may allow the child to reachthe unretracted seat belts whichmay result in strangulation and a

serious injury or death to the childin the child restraint.

What your air bag system does

Driver’s air bag and front passenger’s airbag are designed to supplement the pro-tection offered by the safety belt in cer-tain frontal collisions. Likewise, side airbag and curtain air bags are designed tosupplement the protection offered by thesafety belt in side collisions. Safety beltsare designed to reduce the injury of thedriver or passengers in case of lightimpact or collision. No safety belt or airbag system can completely eliminateinjuries that may cause in collisions orimpacts. To help reduce impact on driveror passengers in any collision, safetybelts must be correctly worn.

What your air bag system doesnot do

The air bag system is designed to sup-plement the protection offered by thesafety belt system. IT IS NOT A SUBSTI-TUTE FOR THE SAFETY BELT.

The importance of usingsafety belts

There are four very important reasons touse safety belts even with an air bag sup-

plemental restraint system. They:• help keep you in the proper position(away from the air bag) when it inflates.

• reduce the risk of harm in rollover, sideimpact (vehicles not equipped withside and curtain air bags) or rearimpact collisions, because an air bag isnot designed to inflate in such situa-tions and even a side curtain air bag isdesigned to inflate only in certain sideimpact collisions.

• reduce the risk of harm in frontal orside collisions which are not severeenough to actuate the air bag supple-mental restraint system.

• reduce the risk of being ejected fromyour vehicle.

Your vehicle’s Supplemental RestraintSystem Control Module is equippedwith a recording device that mayrecord the use or status of the safetybelt restraint system by the driver and

front passenger in certain collisions.

WARNING - Air bags &safety belts

• Even in vehicles with air bags,you and your passengers mustalways wear the safety belts pro-vided in order to minimize the riskand severity of injury in the eventof a collision or rollover.

• Always wear your safety belt. Itcan help keep you away from theair bags during heavy brakingjust before a collision. It may alsoreduce the risk of occupant ejec-tion.

• If occupants are not wearing safe-ty belts or correctly seated, theycannot be fully protected, andthus face a greater risk of seriousinjury or death.

Air bag system components

The main components of your SRS are:

• To indicate that your vehicle isequipped with air bags, the correspon-

ding air bag covers are marked with“SRS AIR BAG”.

- Driver’s air bag

- Passenger’s air bag

- Side air bag (if equipped)

- Curtain air bag (if equipped)

• A diagnostic system that continuallymonitors the system operation.

• Air bag warning light to warn you of apossible problem with the system.

• Emergency power backup in case yourcar’s electrical system is disconnectedin a crash.

Driver’s air bag

Your vehicle is equipped with aSupplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System

and lap/shoulder belts at both the driverand passenger seating position.

The driver’s air bag is stored in the cen-ter of the steering wheel.

(Continued)

• Driver’s and front passenger’s airbag are designed to inflate only incertain frontal collisions, and side

and curtain air bags are designedto inflate in certain side impacts.Frontal air bags are not designedto provide protection in sideimpacts, rear impacts, rollovers,or less severe frontal collisions.They will not provide protectionfrom later impacts in a multi-impact collision.

• If your vehicle has been subject-ed to flood conditions (e.g.

soaked carpeting/standing wateron the floor of the vehicle, etc.) orif your vehicle has become flooddamaged in any way, do notattempt to start the vehicle or putthe key in the ignition. Have thevehicle towed to an authorizedKia dealer for inspection and nec-essary repairs.

Disregarding this precaution maycause an unexpected air bag

deployment, which could result inserious personal injury or death.

Front passenger’s air bag

Front passenger’s air bag is stored in theinstrument panel on the glove box.

Never put any objects or ornaments onthe instrument panel.

1JBA3056

HLZ2121

WARNING - Steeringwheel

• You must always sit as far backfrom the steering wheel air bag aspossible (chest at least 250 mm(10 inches ) away from the steer-ing wheel), while still maintaininga comfortable seating position forgood vehicle control, in order toreduce the risk of injury or deathin a collision.

• Never place objects over the airbag storage compartments orbetween the air bags and your-self. Due to the speed and force of

the air bag inflation, such objectscould hit your body at high speedand cause severe bodily injuryand even death.

• Do not put stickers or ornamentson the steering wheel cover.These may interfere with thedeployment of the air bag.

WARNING• The front seat passenger’s air bag

is much larger than the steeringwheel air bag and inflates with

considerably more force. It canseriously hurt or kill a passengerwho is not in the proper positionand wearing the safety belt prop-erly. The front passengers shouldalways move their seat as farback as practical and sit back intheir seat.

• It is essential that the front pas-sengers always wear their safetybelts when vehicle is in motion,

even when the vehicle is movingin a parking lot or up a drivewayinto garage.

• If the driver brakes the vehicleheavily in urgent situations,occu-pants will be thrown forward. Iffront passengers are not wearingthe safety belts, they will bedirectly in front of the air bagswhen inflation occurs. In that sit-uation, severe injury or death is

possible.(Continued)




3 53

Side air bag (if equipped)

Side air bags are stored in the left side ofthe driver’s seat and right side of the frontpassenger’s seat.

If air bag inflation conditions are met(side collision), they will inflate.

(Continued)

• Never allow front passenger toput their hands, feet or face on orclose to the instrument panel. In

the event of air bag deployment,such a mispositioned occupantwould be likely to suffer severeinjury or death.

• Never allow children, pregnantwomen or weak persons to sit inthe front passenger seat. Theymay be seriously injured by theair bag inflation when air bagdeploys.

• Do not use child restraint sys-

tems on the front passenger'sseat, as inflation may cause deathor severe personal injury.

• Do not put objects or stickers onthe instrument panel. Do notapply any accessory on the frontwindshield glass or do not installaftermarket mirrors or acces-sories on the factory installedrearview mirror. Any of thesecould may interfere with thedeployment of air bag inflation orcould hit your body at high speedand cause severe bodily injuryand even death.

1JBA3901

1JBA3057/1JBA3058

WARNING - Seat covers,damage and modifications

• Do not use any accessory seatcovers for a vehicle equippedwith side air bags.Use of seat covers could interferewith side air bag deployment.

If seat or seat cover is damaged,have the vehicle checked andrepaired by an authorized Kiadealer. Inform them that yourvehicle is equipped with side airbags and an occupant detectionsystem.

• Do not make modifications oradditions to the seats as they maycause the air bag system to mal-function resulting in severe per-sonal injury or death.




543

Curtain air bag (if equipped)

Curtain air bags are located along bothsides of the roof rails above the front andrear doors.

They are designed to help protect theheads of the front seat occupants and the

rear outboard seat occupants in certainside impact collisions.

• The curtain air bag deployment occursonly on the side of the vehicle affectedby the impact.

• The side air bags (side and/or curtainair bags) are not designed to deploy in

collisions from the front or rear of thevehicle or in most rollover situations.

• The curtain air bags are designed todeploy only in certain side-impact colli-sions, depending on the crash severity,angle, speed and impact.

1JBA3059

1JBA3900

WARNING• In order for side air bags (side

and curtain air bags) to provide

its best protection, both front seatoccupants and both outboardrear occupants should sit in anupright position with the seatbelts properly fastened.

Importantly, children should sit ina proper child restraint system inthe rear seat.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• When children are seated in therear outboard seats, they must beseated in the proper child

restraint system. Make sure to putthe child restraint system as faraway from the door side as possi-ble, and secure the child restraintsystem in a locked position.

• Do not allow the passengers tolean their heads or bodies ontodoors, put their arms on thedoors, stretch their arms out ofthe window, or place objectsbetween the doors and passen-

gers when they are seated onseats equipped with side airbags.

• Never try to open or repair anycomponents of the side curtainair bag system. This should onlybe done by an authorized Kiadealer.

Failure to follow the above men-tioned instructions can result ininjury or death to the vehicle occu-

pants in an accident.

Why didn’t my air bag go off in acollision?

(Inflation and non-inflation conditions of the air bag)

There are many types of accidents inwhich one or more of the air bagswould not be expected to provideadditional protection.

These include rear impacts, second orthird collisions in multiple impact acci-dents, as well as low speed impacts.Just because your vehicle is damagedand even if it is totally unusable, don’tbe surprised that the air bags did notinflate.

Air bag inflation condition

Front air bag

Front air bags (driver’s and front passen-ger’s air bags) are designed to inflatewhen the impact is delivered to front col-lision sensors depending on the intensity,speed or angles of impact of the frontcollision - generally from an area a littleto the left to a little to the right of straightahead.

1JBA3513

WARNING - Protecting airbag module and sensors

• Do not hit or allow any heavyobjects to hit the locations where

air bags or sensors are installed.This may cause damage andunexpected air bag deployment,which could result in severe per-sonal injury or death.

• If the installation location orangle of the sensors is altered inany way, the air bags may deploywhen they should not or they maynot deploy when they should,causing severe injury or death.

Therefore, do not try to performmaintenance on or around the airbag sensors. Have the vehiclechecked and repaired by anauthorized Kia dealer.

WARNING - Body changes• Problems may arise if the sensor

installation angles are changeddue to the deformation of front

bumper, body or B pillar whereside collision sensors areinstalled. In the event of a colli-sion, have the vehicle inspectedby an authorized Kia dealer.

• Your vehicle has been designedto absorb impact and deploy theair bag(s) in certain collisions.Installing aftermarket bumperguards or replacing a bumperwith non-genuine parts may

adversely affect your vehiclescollision and air bag deploymentperformance.




3 57

Side air bags (if equipped)

Side air bags (side and/or curtain airbags) are designed to inflate when animpact is detected by side collision sen-sors depending on the strength, speed orangles of impact of side impact of sideimpact collision or rollover.

Although the front air bags (driver’s andfront passenger’s air bags) are designedto inflate only in frontal collision, it mayinflate in any collision if front impact sen-sors detect a sufficient impact. Side air

bags (side and/or curtain air bags) aredesigned to inflate only in side impactcollision, it may inflate in any collision ifside impact sensors detect a sufficientimpact.

If the vehicle chassis is impacted bybumps or objects on unimproved roadsor sidewalks, air bags may deploy. Drivecarefully on unimproved roads or on sur-faces not designed for vehicle traffic toprevent unintended air bag deployment.

To protect occupants, front air bags andpre-tensioner seat belts may deploy incertain side impact collisions.

Air bag non-inflation conditions

• In certain low-speed collisions the airbags may not deploy. The air bags aredesigned not to deploy in such casesbecause the risk of injuries which canbe caused by the air bags exceeds thebenefits they provide in protectingoccupants.

1JBA3514

1JBA3900

1JBA3515




583

• Frontal air bags are not designed toinflate in rear collisions, because occu-pants are moved backward by the

force of the impact. In this case, the airbags do not provide protection.

• Front air bags may not inflate in sideimpact collision, because occupantsmove to the direction of the collision,

and thus in side impacts, frontal air bagdeployment does not provide occupantprotection.

However, side or curtain air bags mayinflate depending on the intensity, vehi-cle speed and angles of impact.

• In a slant or angled collision, the forceof impact may direct the occupants in adirection between the front and side air

bags, and thus the sensors may notdeploy any air bags.

1JBB3520 1JBA3516 1JBA3521




3 59

• Just before impact, drivers often brakeheavily. Such heavy braking lowers thefront portion of the vehicle causing it to

“ride” under a vehicle with a higherground clearance. Air bags may notinflate in this "under-ride" situationbecause deceleration forces that aredetected by sensors may be signifi-cantly altered by such “under-ride” col-lisions.

• Air bags may not inflate in rollover acci-dents because air bag deploymentwould not provide proper protection to

the occupants.However, side air bags may inflatewhen the vehicle is rolled over by aside impact collision, if the vehicle isequipped with side air bags and cur-tain air bags.

• Air bags may not inflate if the vehiclecollides with objects such as utilitypoles or trees, where the point of

impact is concentrated to one area andthe full force of the impact is not trans-mitted to the sensors.

Air bag system operation • In order to help provide protection in a



603

Air bag system operation

• Air bags only operate when the ignitionswitch is turned to the ON or STARTpositions.

• Air bags inflate instantly in the event ofserious frontal or side collision (ifequipped with side air bag or curtainair bag) in order to help protect theoccupants from serious physical injury.

• There is no single vehicle speed atwhich the air bags will inflate.

• Air bag deployment depends on anumber of factors including vehiclespeed, angles of impact and the densi-ty and stiffness of the vehicles orobjects which your vehicle hits in thecollision. However, factors are not limit-ed to those mentioned above.

• The front air bags will completelyinflate and deflate in an instant.

It is virtually impossible for you to seethe air bags inflate during an accident.It is much more likely that you will sim-ply see the deflated air bags hangingout of their storage compartments afterthe collision.

• In order to help provide protection in asevere collision, the air bags mustinflate rapidly. The speed of air baginflation is a consequence of theextremely short time in which a collision

occurs and the need to get the air bagbetween the occupant and the vehiclestructures before the occupant impactsthose structures. This speed of inflationreduces the risk of serious or life-threatening injuries in a severe collisionand is thus a necessary part of air bagdesign.

However, air bag inflation can alsocause injuries which normally caninclude facial abrasions, bruises and

broken bones, and sometimes moreserious injuries because the inflationspeed also causes the air bags toexpand with a great deal of force.

• There are even circumstancesunder which contact with the steer-ing wheel air bag can cause fatalinjuries, especially if the occupantis positioned excessively close tothe steering wheel.

WARNING - Seatedpositioning

• To avoid severe personal injury ordeath caused by deploying air

bags in a collision, the drivershould sit as far back from thesteering wheel air bag as possible(at least 250 mm (10 inches) away).The front passenger shouldalways move their seat as far backas possible and sit back in theirseat.

• Air bag inflates instantly in anevent of collision, passengersmay be injured by the air bag

expansion force if they are not inproper position.

• Air bag inflation may causeinjuries which normally includefacial or bodily abrasions, injuriesby the broken glasses or burns bythe explosives.


Noise and smoke



3 61

Noise and smoke

When the air bags inflate, they make aloud noise and they leave smoke andpowder in the air inside of the vehicle.This is normal. After the air bag inflates,

you may feel substantial discomfort inbreathing due to the contact of yourchest to both the safety belt and the airbag, as well as from breathing the smokeand powder. We strongly urge you toopen your doors and/or windows assoon as possible after impact in orderto reduce discomfort and prevent pro-longed exposure to the smoke andpowder.

Though the smoke and powder are non-

toxic, it may cause irritation to the skin(eyes, nose and throat etc.). Wash andrinse with cold water immediately andconsult a doctor if symptoms persist.

Installing a child restraint on afront passenger seat is extremelydangerous and should never bedone.

Never place a rear-facing child restraintin the front passenger’s seat. If the airbag deploys, it would impact the rear-fac-ing child restraint, causing severe or fatalinjuries.

In addition, do not place front-facing childrestraint in the front passenger’s seateither. If the front passenger air baginflates, it may cause severe or fatal

injuries to the child.

WARNING - Hot air bagparts

When the air bags deploy, the airbag related parts in steering wheel

and/or instrument panel and/or inboth sides of the roof rails abovethe front and rear doors are veryhot. To prevent injury, do not touchthe air bag storage area’s internalcomponents immediately after anair bag has inflated.

Air bag warning light

The purpose of air bag warning light inyour instrument panel is to alert you of apotential problem with your air bag -Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).

When the ignition switch is turned ON,the indicator light should blink or illumi-nate for approximately 6 seconds, thengo off.

Have the system checked if:

• The light does not turn on briefly whenyou turn the ignition ON.

• The light stays on after the enginestarts.

• The light comes on while the vehicle isin motion.

Air bag (Supplemental RestraintSystem) service

Your Supplemental Restraint System isvirtually maintenance-free. There are noparts which you can service.

You must have the system servicedunder the following circumstances:

• If an air bag ever inflates, the air bagmust be replaced.Do not try to removeor discard the air bag by yourself. Thismust be done by an authorized Kiadealer.

• If the air bag warning indicator lightalerts you to a problem, have the airbag system checked as soon as possi-ble. Otherwise, your air bag systemmay be ineffective.

WARNING• Never put child restraint in the

front passenger seat. If the frontpassenger air bag inflates, it may

cause severe or fatal injuries.• When children are seated in the

rear outboard seats in which cur-tain air bags are equipped, besure to put the child restraint sys-tem as far away from the doorside as possible, and secure thechild restraint system to belocked in position.

Inflation of side or curtain air bag(if equipped) could cause severe

injury or death due to the expan-sion impact.

CAUTION - No modificationDo not modify any part of the air bag system. Modification could make the air bag system ineffective or could cause unnecessary deployment.

Repairing or scrapping the vehicle

• Repairing/replacing the steeringwheel, instrument panel, center con-sole headliner/pillar trim, or modifyingvehicle sheet metal components could

disable the air bag system. Have suchrepairs and maintenance performed byan authorized Kia dealer.

• Special care must be taken in scrap-ping or junking an air bag-equippedvehicle. Always refer such activities toa qualified professional.

WARNING - No mainte-nance or repair

• Do not work on the air bag sys-tem’s components or wiring. Thiscould cause the air bags to inflateinadvertently, possibly seriouslyinjuring someone.Working on thesystem could also disable thesystem so that the air bags wouldnot deploy in a collision.

• Any work on the air bag system,such as removing, installing, orrepairing the steering wheel must

be performed by a qualified Kiatechnician. Improper handling ofthe air bag system including thesteering wheel may result in seri-ous personal injury or death.

WARNING - RefuelingIf pressurized fuel sprays out, it cancover your clothes or skin and thussubject you to the risk of fire and

burns. Always remove the fuel capcarefully and slowly. If the cap isventing fuel or if you hear a hissingsound, wait until the conditionstops before completely removingthe cap.

WARNING - Refueling dan-gers

Automotive fuels are flammablematerials. When refueling, pleasenote the following guidelines care-fully. Failure to follow these guide-lines may result in severe personalinjury, severe burns or death by fireor explosion.

• Before refueling note the locationof the Emergency Gasoline Shut-Off, if available, at the gas stationfacility.

• Before touching the fuel nozzle,you should eliminate potentiallydangerous static electricity dis-charge by touching another metal

part of the vehicle, a safe distanceaway from the fuel filler neck, noz-zle, or other gas source.

• Do not get back into a vehicleonce you have begun refuelingsince you can generate staticelectricity by touching, rubbing orsliding against any item or fabric(polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)capable of producing static elec-tricity. Static electricity discharge

can ignite fuel vapors resulting inrapid burning. If you must re-enter the vehicle, you shouldonce again eliminate potentiallydangerous static electricity dis-charge by touching a metal partof the vehicle, away from the fuelfiller neck, nozzle or other gaso-line source.

• When using a portable fuel con-tainer be sure to place the con-

tainer on the ground prior to refu-eling.

• Make sure to refuel your vehicleaccording to the "Fuel requirements"suggested in section 5.

• Check to make sure the fuel filler cap

is securely closed after refueling. Aloose fuel filler cap may cause the“Check fuel filler cap ( )” light inthe instrument panel to illuminateunnecessarily.

• If the fuel filler cap requires replace-ment, use only a genuine Kia cap orthe equivalent specified for your vehi-cle. An incorrect fuel filler cap canresult in a serious malfunction of thefuel system or emission control sys-

tem.• Do not spill fuel on the exterior sur-faces of the vehicle. Any type of fuelspilled on painted surfaces may dam-age the paint.

( )

• DO NOT use matches or a lighterand DO NOT SMOKE or leave a litcigarette in your vehicle while at agas station especially during

refueling. Automotive fuel is high-ly flammable and can, when ignit-ed, result in fire.

• If a fire breaks out during refuel-ing, leave the vicinity of the vehi-cle, and immediately contact themanager of the gas station andthen contact the local fire depart-ment or 911.

( )

Static electricity discharge fromthe container can ignite fuelvapors causing a fire. Once refu-eling has begun, contact with thevehicle should be maintaineduntil the filling is complete.

Use only portable plastic fuelcontainers designed to carry andstore gasoline.

• Do not use cellular phones whilerefueling. Electric current and/orelectronic interference from cellu-lar phones can potentially ignitefuel vapors causing a fire.

• When refueling, always shut theengine off. Sparks produced byelectrical components related tothe engine can ignite fuel vaporscausing a fire. Once refueling iscomplete, check to make sure thefiller cap and filler door aresecurely closed, before startingthe engine.

AUDIO SYSTEM - HOW CAR AUDIO WORKS

FM reception AM reception FM radio station



843

AM and FM radio signals are broadcastfrom transmitter towers located aroundyour city. They are intercepted by theradio antenna on your car. This signal isthen received by the radio and sent toyour car speakers.

When a strong radio signal has reachedyour vehicle, the precise engineering ofyour audio system ensures the best pos-sible quality reproduction. However, insome cases the signal coming to yourvehicle may not be strong and clear.Thiscan be due to factors such as the dis-tance from the radio station, closeness ofother strong radio stations or the pres-ence of buildings, bridges or other largeobstructions in the area.

AM broadcasts can be received atgreater distances than FM broadcasts.

This is because AM radio waves aretransmitted at low frequencies. Theselong, low frequency radio waves can fol-low the curvature of the earth rather thantravelling straight out into the atmos-phere. In addition, they curve aroundobstructions so that they can provide bet-ter signal coverage.

FM broadcasts are transmitted at highfrequencies and do not bend to follow theearth's surface. Because of this, FMbroadcasts generally begin to fade atshort distances from the station. Also,FM signals are easily affected by build-ings, mountains, or other obstructions.These can result in certain listening con-ditions which might lead you to believe aproblem exists with your radio. The fol-lowing conditions are normal and do notindicate radio trouble:

Fading - As your car moves away fromthe radio station, the signal will weakenand sound will begin to fade. When this

occurs, we suggest that you selectanother stronger station.

• Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals orlarge obstructions between the trans-mitter and your radio can disturb thesignal causing static or fluttering nois-es to occur. Reducing the treble levelmay lessen this effect until the distur-bance clears.

• Station Swapping - As a FM signalweakens, another more powerful sig-nal near the same frequency may

begin to play. This is because yourradio is designed to lock onto the clear-est signal. If this occurs, select anoth-er station with a stronger signal.

• Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signalsbeing received from several directionscan cause distortion or fluttering. Thiscan be caused by a direct and reflect-ed signal from the same station, or bysignals from two stations with closefrequencies. If this occurs, select

another station until the condition haspassed.

Disc brakes wear indicator

Your vehicle has disc brakes.

When your brake pads are worn and it'stime for new pads, you will hear a high-pitched warning sound from your frontbrakes or rear brakes (if equipped). Youmay hear this sound come and go or itmay occur whenever you depress thebrake pedal.

Please remember that some drivingconditions or climates may cause abrake squeal when you first apply (orlightly apply) the brakes. This is nor-mal and does not indicate a problemwith your brakes.

Parking brake

Applying the parking brake

To engage the parking brake, first applythe foot brake and then without pressing

the release button in, pull the parkingbrake lever up as far as possible. In addi-tion it is recommended that when parkingthe vehicle on a gradient, the shift levershould be positioned in the appropriatelow gear on manual transaxle vehicles orin the P (Park) position on automatictransaxle vehicles.

This brake wear warning soundmeans your vehicle needs service.If you ignore this audible warning,you will eventually lose braking per-formance, which could lead to aserious accident.

CAUTIONAlways replace brake pads as complete front or rear axle sets to ensure smooth brake performance.

CAUTION

Driving with the parking brake applied will cause excessive brake pad (or lining) and brake rotor wear.

To release the parking brake, first applythe foot brake and pull up the parkingbrake lever slightly. Secondly, depress

the release button and lower the parkingbrake lever while holding the button.

Check the brake warning light by turningthe ignition switch ON (do not start theengine). This light will be illuminatedwhen the parking brake is applied with

the ignition switch in the START or ONposition.

Before driving, be sure the parking brakeis fully released and the brake warninglight is off.

If the brake warning light remains onafter the parking brake is released, theremay be a malfunction in the brake sys-tem. Immediate attention is necessary.

If at all possible, cease driving the vehi-cle immediately. If that is not possible,

use extreme caution while operating thevehicle and only continue to drive thevehicle until you can reach a safe loca-tion or repair shop.

In order to obtain the maximum benefitfrom your ABS in an emergency situation,do not attempt to modulate your brakepressure and do not try to pump yourbrakes. Press your brake pedal as hardas possible or as hard as the situationwarrants and allow the ABS to control theforce being delivered to the brakes.

• Even with the anti-lock brake system,your vehicle still requires sufficientstopping distance. Always maintain asafe distance from the vehicle in frontof you.

• Always slow down when cornering.The anti-lock brake system cannot pre-vent accidents resulting from exces-sive speeds.

• Dangerous driving, such asneglecting safety precautions,speeding, or driving too close tothe vehicle in front of you.

• Driving at high speed in situa-tions providing considerably lesstraction, such as wet conditions

where hydroplaning could occur.• Driving too fast on poor road sur-

faces. The ABS is designed toimprove maximum braking effec-tiveness on typical highways androads in good condition. On poorroad surfaces, the ABS may actu-ally reduce braking effectiveness.


✽ NOTICE• When you drive on a road having

poor traction, such as an icy road, andoperate your brakes continuously, theABS will be active continuously andthe ABS warning light may illuminate.

✽ NOTICE• If the ABS warning light is on and

stays on, you may have a problemwith the ABS. In this case, however,

your regular brakes will work nor-mally.

• The ABS warning light will stay on forapproximately 3 seconds after theignition switch is ON. During thattime, the ABS will go through self-diagnosis and the light will go off if everything is normal. If the light stayson, you may have a problem with yourABS. Contact an authorized Kia deal-er as soon as possible.

Pull your car over to a safe place andstop the engine.• Restart the engine. If the ABS warn-

Air conditioning system opera-tion tips

• If the vehicle has been parked in directsunlight during hot weather, open thewindows for a short time to let the hotair inside the vehicle escape.

• To help reduce moisture inside of win-

dows on rainy or humid days, decreasethe humidity inside the vehicle by oper-ating the air conditioning system.

• The air conditioning system includes afunction that automatically turns the airconditioning compressor off if enginecoolant temperature approaches anover heating level. The air conditioningcompressor operation will resumeonce engine coolant temperaturereturns to the normal range. Also, theair conditioning compressor is auto-matically turned off for a few secondswhen the accelerator is fully depressed

Checking the amount of air con-ditioner refrigerant and compres-sor lubricant

When the amount of refrigerant is low,the performance of the air conditioning isreduced. Overfilling also has a bad influ-ence on the air conditioning system.

Therefore, if abnormal operation isfound, have the system inspected by anauthorized Kia dealer.

• During air conditioning system opera-tion, you may occasionally notice aslight change in engine speed at idleas the air conditioning compressorcycles. This is a normal system opera-tion characteristic.

• Use the air conditioning system everymonth if only for a few minutes to

ensure maximum system perform-ance.

• When using the air conditioning sys-tem, you may notice clear water drip-ping (or even pudding) on the groundunder the passenger side of the vehi-cle. This is a normal system operationcharacteristic.

• When operating the air conditioningsystem use the outside (fresh) air posi-tion.

• Operating the air conditioning systemin the recirculated air position doesprovide maximum cooling, however,continual operation in this mode maycause the air inside the vehicle tobecome stale.

✽ NOTICEWhen the performance of the air condi-tioning system is reduced it is importantthat the correct type and amount of oiland refrigerant is used. Otherwise,damage to the compressor and abnor-mal system operation may occur.

CAUTIONThe air conditioning system should be serviced by an authorized Kia dealer. Improper service may cause serious injury.

Hazard warning flasher

The hazard warning flasher serves as awarning to other drivers to exerciseextreme caution when approaching,overtaking, or passing your vehicle. It

should be used whenever emergencyrepairs are being made or when the vehi-cle is stopped near the edge of a road-way.

Depress the flasher switch with the igni-tion switch in any position. The flasherswitch is located in the center consoleswitch panel. All turn signal lights willflash simultaneously.

y pand let the car slow down while drivingstraight ahead. Do not apply the brakesimmediately or attempt to pull off theroad as this may cause a loss of con-trol. When the car has slowed to sucha speed that it is safe to do so, brakecarefully and pull off the road. Drive off

the road as far as possible and park onfirm, level ground. If you are on a divid-ed highway, do not park in the medianarea between the two traffic lanes.

2.When the car is stopped, turn on youremergency hazard flashers, set theparking brake and put the transmissionin P.

3.Have all passengers get out of the car.Be sure they all get out on the side ofthe car that is away from traffic.

4.When changing a flat tire, follow theinstruction provided later in this sec-tion.

1JBN6001


If engine stalls while driving

1. Reduce your speed gradually, keepinga straight line. Move cautiously off theroad to a safe place.

2. Turn on your emergency flashers.

3. Try to start the engine again. If yourvehicle will not start, contact an

authorized Kia dealer or seek otherqualified assistance.

If your temperature gauge indicates over-heating, if you experience a loss ofpower, or if you hear a loud knocking orpinging noise, the engine has probablyoverheated. Should any of these symp-toms occur, use the following procedure:

1. Turn on the hazard warning flasher,then drive to the nearest safe location

and stop your vehicle; set the automat-ic transaxle in P (Park), or shift themanual transaxle to N (Neutral) andapply the parking brake.

4. The coolant level should then bechecked. If the level in the reservoir islow, look for leaks at the radiator hosesand connections, heater hoses andconnections, radiator, and waterpump. If you find a major leak or anoth-er problem that may have caused theengine to overheat, do not operate the

engine until it has been corrected. Callan authorized Kia dealer for assis-tance. If you do not find a leak or otherproblem, carefully add coolant to the

WARNING - BatteryNever attempt to check the elec-trolyte level of the battery as thismay cause the battery to rupture orexplode causing serious injury.


5. Proceed to connect one end of theother jumper cable to the negative ter-minal of the booster battery (3), thenthe other end to a solid, stationary,metallic point (for example, the enginelifting bracket) away from the battery(4). Do not connect it to or near anypart that moves when the engine is

cranked. Do not connect the jumpercable from the negative terminal of thebooster battery to the negative termi-nal of the discharged battery.

6. Start the engine of the vehicle with thebooster battery and let it run at 2,000rpm, then start the engine of the vehi-cle with the discharged battery.

If the cause of your battery discharging is not apparent, you should have your vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

Push-startingYour manual transaxle-equipped vehicleshould not be push-started because itmight damage the emission control sys-

WARNING - Battery Keep all flames or sparks away

from the battery. The battery pro-duces hydrogen gas which mayexplode if exposed to flame orsparks.

• Do not attempt to jump start the

Jump starting procedure

1. Make sure the booster battery is 12-volt and that its negative terminal isgrounded.

2. If the booster battery is in anothervehicle, do not allow the vehicles totouch.

3. Turn off all unnecessary electricalloads.

4. Connect the jumper cables in the exactsequence shown in the previous illus-tration. First connect one end of a jumper cable to the positive terminal ofthe discharged battery (1), then con-nect the other end to the positive ter-

minal on the booster battery (2).

Vehicles equipped with automatictransaxle cannot be push-started.

Follow the directions in this section for jump-starting.

CAUTIONNever tow a vehicle to start it because the sudden surge forward when the engine starts could cause a collision with the tow vehicle.

CAUTION - Battery cablesDo not connect the jumper cable from the negative terminal of the booster battery to the negative terminal of the discharged battery.This can cause the discharged battery to overheat and crack, releasing battery acid.


ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT PROTECTION

If any of your vehicle’s lights, acces-sories, or controls do not work, check theappropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse hasblown, the element inside the fuse will bemelted.

If the electrical system does not work,first check the driver’s side fuse panel.

Removing the spare tire

Turn the tire hold-down wing boltcounterclockwise.

Store the tire in the reverse order ofremoval.

To prevent the spare tire and toolsfrom “rattling” while the vehicle is inmotion, store them properly.

To avoid serious damage to the automatic transaxle, limit the vehicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph) and drive less than 1.5 km (1mile) when towing.


Important - use of compact sparetire

your vehicle is equipped with a com-pact spare tire. This compact sparetire takes up less space than a regu-lar-size tire.This tire is smaller than aconventional tire and is designed fortemporary use only.

The compact spare should be inflat-ed to 60 psi (420 kPa).

✽ NOTICECheck the inflation pressure afterinstalling the spare tire. Adjust it tothe specified pressure, as necessary.

When using a compact spare tire,observe the following precautions:

• Under no circumstances shouldyou exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a

• Avoid driving over obstacles. Thecompact spare tire diameter issmaller than the diameter of a con-ventional tire and reduces theground clearance approximately25 mm (1 inch), which could resultin damage to the vehicle.

• Do not take this vehicle through anautomatic car wash.

TIRES AND WHEELS

Tire care

For proper maintenance, safety, andmaximum fuel economy, you mustalways maintain recommended tireinflation pressures and stay withinthe load limits and weight distributionrecommended for your vehicle.

Recommended cold tire inflationpressures

All tire pressures (including thespare) should be checked every daywhen the tires are cold. “Cold Tires”means the vehicle has not been driv-en for at least three hours or drivenl th 1 6 k ( il )

All specifications (sizes and pres-sures) can be found on a labelattached to the vehicle.

✽ NOTICE

• Underinflation also results inexcessive wear, poor handling andreduced fuel economy. Wheeldeformation also is possible. Keepyour tire pressures at the properlevels. If a tire frequently needsrefilling, have it checked by an

formance for use all year round,including snowy and icy road condi-tions. All season tires are identifiedby ALL SEASON and/or M+S (Mudand Snow) on the tire sidewall. Snowtires have better snow traction thanall season tires and may be moreappropriate in some areas.

yhave the same load capacity as theoriginal tires. Snow tires should be

installed on all four wheels; other-wise, poor handling may result.

Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4psi) more air pressure than the pres-sure recommended for the standardtires on the tire label on the driver'sside of the center pillar, or up to themaximum pressure shown on the tiresidewall, whichever is less.

Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75

mph) when your car is equipped withsnow tires.

Maintenance

LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONSRecommended lubricants

To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance anddurability, use only lubricants of the proper quality. The correctlubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results inimproved fuel economy.

Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available.Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fueleconomy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to over-come engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to

measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offersignificant cost and energy savings.

Recommended SAE viscosity number

✽ NOTICEAlways be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drainplug, or dipstick before checking or draining any lubricant.This is especially important in dusty or sandy areas and whenthe vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug anddipstick areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering theengine and other mechanisms that could be damaged.

Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economyand cold weather operating (starting and oil flow). Lower vis-cosity engine oils can provide better fuel economy and coldweather performance, however, higher viscosity engine oils arerequired for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils ofany viscosity other than those recommended could result inengine damage.

When choosing an oil consider the range of temperature your

EXTERIOR CAREExterior general caution

It is very important to follow the labeldirections when using any chemicalcleaner or polish. Read all warning andcaution statements that appear on thelabel.

Finish maintenance

Washing

To help protect your vehicle’s finish fromrust and deterioration, wash it thoroughlyand frequently at least once a month withlukewarm or cold water.

If you use your vehicle for off-road driv-ing, you should wash it after each off-road trip. Pay special attention to theremoval of any accumulation of salt, dirt,

After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-oughly with lukewarm or cold water. Donot allow soap to dry on the finish.

✽ NOTICE• Water washing in the engine compart-

ment including high pressure waterwashing may cause the failure of elec-trical circuits located in the engine

CAUTION• Do not use strong soap, chemical

detergents or hot water, and do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight or when the body of the

vehicle is warm.• Be careful when washing the side

windows of your vehicle.

Waxing

Wax the vehicle when water will nolonger bead on the paint.

Always wash and dry the vehicle beforewaxing. Use a good quality liquid orpaste wax, and follow the manufacturer’sinstructions. Wax all metal trim to protectit and to maintain its luster.

Removing oil, tar, and similar materials

with a spot remover will usually strip thewax from the finish. Be sure to re-waxthese areas even if the rest of the vehicledoes not yet need waxing.
