This data has been obtained through
tests. You are encouraged to follow
this shift schedule.
You may have to up shifi at higher
speeds than those above il you need
more power while you are driving on
a hill or passing another vehicle.
However, never operate the engine
with the tachometer (RPM) in the red
area.
When you must slow down in a heavy
traffic or while driving up steep hills,
downshift before the engine starts to
labor. Downshifting reduces the
chance of stalling and gives better
Bcceleration when you again need to
increase your speed. When the vehi-
cle is traveling down sleep hills,
downshifting helps maintain safe
speed and prolongs brake's life.

BRAKE SYSTEM
Power Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
ln the event that the power-assisted
brakes lose power because of
stalled engine or some other reason,
you can still stop your vehicle by
applying greater lorce to the brake
pedal than you normally would. The
stopping distance, however, will be
longer.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially
depleted each time the brake pedal is
applied. Do not pump the brake pedal
when the power assist has been
interrupted. Pump the brake pedal
only when necessary to maintain
sleering control on slippery surfaces.
4-18
ln the Event ol Brake Failure
lf service brakes fail to operate while
the vehicle is in motion, you can
make an emergency stop with the
parking brake. The stopping distance,
a however, will be much greater than
normal.
A wnnrulNc - Parking Brake
Pulling on the parking brake while
the vehicle is moving at normal
speeds can cause a sudden loss
of control of the vehicle. lf you
must use the parking brake to stop
the vehicle, use great caution in
applying the brake.
T
I
A WnnnlNG - Brakes
. Do not drive with your loot rest-
ing on the brake pedal. This will
create abnormal high brake tem-
peratures, excessive brake lining
and pad wear, and increased
stopping distances.
. When descending a long or
steep hill, shift to a lower gear
and avoid continuous applica-
tion ol the brakes. Continuous
brake application will cause the
brakes to overheat and could
result in a temporary loss of
braking performance.

DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
(ll equipped)
The anti-lock brake system is
designed to prevent lock-up ol the
wheels during sudden braking or
braking on slippery surfaces.
Oompared to a conventional brake
system, the anti-lock brake system
provides greater steering control dur-
ing braking in such situations.
4-22
During normal driving conditions, lhe
anti-lock brake system operates the
same as a conventional brake sys-
tem. When the anti-lock brake system
is engaged due to imminent loss of
traction, a pulsation of the brake
pedalwill result and you may hear or
feel"chattering".This is a normal con-
dition and indicates the system is
functioning properly.
When driving a vehicle equipped with
anti-lock brakes, adjust your driving
according to lhe road and iratlic con-
ditions and keep the following in
mind:
. Do not pump the brakes as you
would when driving a vehicle not
equipped with an anti-lock brake
system (ABS). ln order lor the ABS
to lunction normally, press the
brake pedal lirmly, without pumping
the pedal.
. Even with the anti-lock brake sys-
tem, your vehicle still requires a
suflicient stopping distance. Always
maintain a sale distance from the
vehicle in lront of you.
. Always slow down when cornering.
The anti-lock brake system cannot
prevent accidents resulting lrom
excessive speeds.
. On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem may resull in a longer stopping
distance than lor vehicles equipped
with a conventional brake system.
. Avoid high speeds on wet roads.
The anti-lock brake system cannot
eliminate the risk of hydroplaning. lf
the anti-lock brake system should
fail, the brake system will lunction
as a conventional brake system.
Have your vehicle checked by an
Authorized Kia Dealer or other
competent repair shop as soon as
possible.

:T NOTICE
. If the ABS warning light is on and
stays on, you rnay hrve a prnblem
with the ABS systen. In this case,
however, your regular brakes will
work normally.
. The ABS warning light will stay on
for 2-3 seconds after the ignition is
ON. During that time, the ABS will
go through selfdiagnosis and the
light will go off if everything is nor-
mal. If the light stays on you may
have a problem with your ABS.
Contact an Authorized Kia Dester
for service ts soon as possible.
* NOTICE
. If the battery is discharged and the
engine is jump started, the ABS
waming light may come on. This
condition occurs because of a dis-
charged battery and not because
therr is an anti-lock brake system
malfunction.
. Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
A WnnUNG - ABS Brakes
. The Antl-Lock Brake System
(ABS) cannot compensate for
bad road conditions, lor unsale
or reckless driving or lor bad
ludgment.
. The ABS is designed to improve
maximum braking ettectiveness
on typical highways and roads ln
good condition. On road sur-
faces which are in poor condi-
tion, the ABS may actually
reduce braking eflectlveness.
. Always operate your vehicle at
reasonable speGds that are sale
for weather and lraffic condi-
tions.
. lf the both ABS and Brake warn-
ing lights are ON and stay ON,
your vehicle's brake system will
not work normally. So you may
experience an unoxpected and
dangerous situation when
abrupt braking. ln this case,
avoid high speed driving and

STEERING WHEEL
Power Steering
Power Steering uses energy from lhe
engine to assist you in sleering the
vehicle. lf the engine is off or if the
power steering system becomes
inoperative, ihe vehicle may still be
steered, but it will require increased
steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the Power
steering checked by an Authorized
Kia Dealer or another competent
service centre.
4-24
* NOTICE
. Never hold the steering wheel
against a stop {extreme right or left
turn) for more than 5 seconds with
the engine running. Holding the
steering wheel for more than 5 sec-
onds in either position may cause
damage to the power steering PumP.
. If the power steering drive belt
breaks or if the power steering pump
malfunctions, the steering effort will
greatly increase.
* NOTICE
If the vehicle is parked for extended
periods outside in cold weather (below
14 "F/ -10 "C), the power steering may
require increased effort when the
engine is first started. This is caused by
increased fluid viscosity due to the cold
weather and does not indicate a mal-
function.
When this happens, increase the
engine RPM by depressing accelerator
until the RPM reaches 1,500 rPm then
release or let the engine idle for two or
three minutes to warm uP the fluid.

TRACTION CONTROL
SYSTEM {( IF
rF EOUIPPI
EQUIPPED )
On slippery road surfaces, the trac-
tion control system(TCS) limits the
drive wheels from spinning exces-
sively, thus helping the car to acceler-
ate. lt also provides improved driving
lorce and steering performance as
the car turns at accelerated speeds.
2z CAUTION
When the TCS indieator blinks,
SLIP control function has been
activated. It also means that the
road is slippery or yaur car is
accelerating excessively. ln this
situatian, release foot pressure
from the accelerator pedal and
maintain moderate speed.
A wRnrurruc
Traction control is a driving aid; all
normal precautions for driving in
inclement weather and on slippery
road surfaces should be observed.
DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
TCS ON/OFF Mode
ln the TCS ON mode, the indicator in
the instrument cluster will not be illu-
minated.
The indicator will illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion, but should go off after 3 sec-
onds. lt means the TCS is in the
stand-by status and at the moment of
the actual operation of the TCS, the
indicator will blink.
To switch to TCS OFF mode, press
the TCS switch. System will be deac-
tivated and the TCS indicator in the

Oriving at Night
Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight,
here are some imPorlant tiPs to
remember:
. Slow down and keep more distance
between you and other vehicles, as
it may be more ditlicult to see at
night, especially in areas where
there may not be anY street lights.
. Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare lrom other driver's headlights.
. KeeP your headlights clean and
properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlights will make it much
more difficult to see at night.
. Avoid staring directly at the head-
lights ol oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds lor Your
eyes to readiust to the darkness.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially il you're not
prepared for the slick pavement. Here
bre a lew things to consider when
driving in the rain:

, ll your tires are not in good condi-
tion, making a quick stop on wet
pavement can cause a skid and
possibly lead to an accident. Be
sure your tires are in good shaPe.
. Turn on your headlights to make il

Load-pulling components such as the
engine, transaxle, wheel assemblies,
and tires are forced to work harder
againsl the load ol the added weight.
The engine is required to operate at
relatively higher speeds and under
greater loads. This additional burden
generates extra heat. The trailer also
adds considerably to wind resistance,
increasing the pulling requirements.
ll You Do Decide to Pull a Trailer
Here are some important points if you
decide to pull a trailer:
. Consider using a sway control. You
can ask a hitch dealer about sway
control.
. Atter your odometer indicates 500
miles (800 km) or more, you can
tow a trailer. For the first 500 miles
that you tow a trailer, don't drive
over 50 mph (80 km/h) and don't
make starts at lull throttle. This
helps your engine and other parts
of your vehicle '\ilea/' in at the
heavier loads.
. The important considerations have
to do with weight:
DRIVING TIPS
Weight of the trailer
How heavy can a trailer safely be? lt
should never weigh more than 1250
kg (2756 lbs.). But even that can be
too heavy.
ll depends on how you plan to use
your trailer. For example, speed, alti-
tude, road grades, outside tempera-
ture and how much your vehicle is
used to pulla trailer are all important.
The ideal trailer weighl can also
depend on any special equipment
that you have on your vehicle.
5-17
DRIVING TIPS
Weieht of the trailer tongue
Thdtongue load ol anY trailer is an
important weight to measure
bebause it aflects the total gross
vehicle weight {GVW) ol yourvehicle.
This weighf includes the curb weight
of the vehicle, any cargo You may
carry in it, and the PeoPle who will be
riding in the vehicle. Alq if you will
tow a trailer, you must add the tongue
load lo the GVW because Your vehi-
cle will also be carrying that weighl
The trailer tongue should weigh a
maximum ol 10b/o of the total loaded
trailer weight. After you've loaded
vour trailer, weiqh the trailer and then

Safety chains
You should always attach chains
between your vehicle and your trailer.
Cross the salety chains under the
tongue of the trailer so that the
tongue will not drop to the road il it
becomes separated from the hitch.
lnstructions about safety chains may
be provided by the hitch manufactur-
er or by the trailer manutacturer.
Follow the manufacturer's recom-
mendation lor attaching salety
chains. Always leave just enough
slack so you can turn with your trailer.
And, never allow salety chains to
drag on the ground.
Trailer brakes
ll your trailer weighs more than S30
kg (1168 lbs.) loaded, then it needs
its own brakes and they rnust be ade-
quate. Be sure to read and follow the
instructions for the trailer brakes so
you'll be able to install, adjust and
maintain them properly.
. Don't tap into your vehicle's brake
system.
Z CAUTION
go not
use a trailer with its own
brakes unless you are abeolutely
certaln that you have properly set
up the brake system. This is not a
task for amateurs. Use an experi-
enced, competent trailer shop for
thls work.
DRIVING TIPS
Driving with a traller
Towing a trailer requires a certain
amount ol experience. Eefore setting
oul for the open road, you must get to
know your trailer. Acquaint yourself
with the feel ol handling and braking
with the added weight of the trailer.
And always keep in mind that the
vehicle you are driving is now a good
deal longer and not nearly so respon-
sive as your vehicle is by itself.
Before you start, check the trailer
hitch and platform, salety chains,
electrical conneclor(s), lighls, tires
and mirror adjustment. lf the trailer
has eleclric brakes, siart your vehicle
and trailer moving and then apply the
trailer brake controller by hand to be
sure the brakes are working. This lets
you check your electrical connection
al the same time.
5-19
 DRIVING TIPS
During your irip, check occasionally Followlng dlstance
to be sure that the load is secure, and Stay at least twice as lar behind the

Backlng up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel
with one hand. Then, to move the
trailer to lhe left, lust move your hand
to the lett. To move the trailer to the
right, move your hand to the right.
Always back up slowly and, il possi-
ble, have someone guide you.
illaklng tums
When you're turning with a trailer,
make wider turns than normal. Do
this so your trailer won't strike sott
shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees,
or other objects. Avoid ierky or sud-
advance.

Turn elgnals when towtng a trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle
has lo have a diflerent turn signal
llasher and extra wiring. The green
arrows on your instrument panel will
llash whenever you signal a turn or
lane change. Properly connected, the
trailer lights will also llash to alert
other drivers you're about to turn,
change lanes, or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green
arrows on your instrument panel will
llash lor turns even il the bulbs on lhe
trailer are burned oul. Thus, you may
think drivers behind you are seeing
your signals when, in fact, they are
not. lt's important to check occasion-
ally to be sure the trailer bulbs are still
working. You must also check lhe
lights every time you disconnect and
then reconnect the wires.
Do not connect a trailer lighting sys-
tem directly to your vehicle's lighting
$ystem. Use only an approved trailer
wiring harness.
Your Authorized Kia Dealer can
assist you in installing the wiring har-
ness.

Failure lo use an apprcved trailer
wlrlng harness could result ln

eystem and/or percanal lnjury.
DRIVING TIPS
Drlving on grades
Reduce speed and shilt to a lower
gear before you start down a long or
steep downgrade. lf you don't shitt
down, you might have to use your
brakes so much that they would get
hot and no longer operate efficiently.
On a long uphill grade, shift down
and reduce your speed to around 45
mph (70 km/h) to reduce the possibil-
ity ol engine and transaxle overheat-
tng.
lf your trailer weighs more than 530k9
(11681bs.) and you have an automat-
ic transaxle, you should drive in O
{Drive) when towing a trailer.
5-21
DRIVING TIPS
Operating your vehicle in D (Drive)
when towing a irailer will minimize
heat buildup and extend the life of
your transaxle. lf you have a manual
transaxle, drive in fourth gear (or, as
you need to, a lower goafl.
5-22
Parking on hills
Generally, you should not park your
vehicle, with a trailer attached, on a
hill. People can be seriously or latally
injured, and both your vehicle and the
trailer can be damaged il they begin a
downhill trajectory.
A wnnNlNG - Parking on a Hiil
Parking your vehicl€ on a hill with
a trailq atlached could eause seri-
ous lniury or death, should a down
hlll trafectory happen.
However, if you ever have to park
your trailer on a hill, here's how to do
it:
1. Apply your brakes, but don't shift
into gear.
2. Have someone place chocks
under the trailer wheels.
3. When the wheel chocks are in
place, release lhe brakes until the
chocks absorb the load.
4. Reapply the brakes. Apply your
parking brake, and then shift to Fl
(Reverse) lor a manual transaxle
or P (Park) lor an automatb
transaxle.
5. Release the brakes.

DRIVING TIPS
Maintenance When Traller Towing
Your vehicle will need service more
often when you regularly pull a trailer.
lmportant items to pay particular
attention include engine oil, automat-
ic transaxlellluid, axle lubracant and
cooling system fluid. Brake condition
is another important ilem to frequent-
ly check. Each item is covered in this
manual, and the Index will help you
tind them quickly. ll you're trailering,
it's a good idea to review these sec-
tions before you start your trip.
Don't lorget to also maintain your
trailer and hitch. Follow the mainte-
nance schedule that accompanied
your trailer and check it periodically.
Preferably, conduct the check at the
start ol each day's driving. Most
importantly, alt hitch nuts and bolts
should be tight.
