kia, the company
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’s 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 syl-
lable, a, means “Asia.” So, the word Kia, means “to arise from”
or “to come up out of Asia to the world.”
Enjoy your Vehicle!

Introduction
VEHICLE BREAK-IN
PROCESS
No special break-in period is need-
ed. By following a few simple precau-
tions for the first 1,000 km (600
miles) you may add to the perform-
ance, economy and life of your vehi-
cle.
• Do not race the engine.
• Do not maintain a single speed for
long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is
needed to properly break-in the
engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emer-
gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
• Avoid full-throttle starts.

controls, or even make the vehi-
cle move, which could result in
serious bodily injury or even
death. Never leave the keys in
your vehicle with unsupervised
children.

Knowing your vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic engine immobilizer system
to reduce the risk of unauthorized
vehicle use.
Your immobilizer system is com-
prised of a small transponder in the
ignition key, and antenna coil in the
key cylinder and ICU (Immobilizer
Control Unit) in the steering shaft.
With this system, whenever you
insert your ignition key into the igni-
tion switch and turn it to ON, the
antenna coil in the ignition switch
receives a signal from the transpon-
der in the ignition key and then sends
the signal to the ECU (Engine
Control Unit).
The ECU checks the signal whether
the ignition key is valid.
If the key is determined to be valid,
the engine will start.
If the key is determined to be invalid,
the engine will not start.
To deactivate the immobilizer sys-
tem:
Insert the ignition key into the key
cylinder and turn it to the ON posi-
tion.
To activate the immobilizer sys-
tem:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF posi-
tion. The immobilizer system acti-
vates automatically. Without a valid
ignition key for your vehicle, the
engine will not start.
✽
✽ NOTICE
When starting the engine, do not use
the key with other immobilizer keys
around.
Otherwise the engine may not start
or may stop soon after it starts. Keep
each key separately not to have any
malfunction after you receive your
new vehicle.
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
The transponder in your ignition
key is an important part of the
immobilizer system. It is
designed to give years of trou-
blefree service, however you
should avoid exposure to mois-
ture, static electricity and rough
handling. Immobilizer system
malfunction could occur.
CAUTION
Do not change, alter or adjust
the immobilizer system because
it could cause the immobilizer
system to malfunction and
should only be serviced by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Malfunctions caused by improp-
er alterations, adjustments or
modifications to the immobilizer
system are not covered by your
vehicle manufacturer warranty.

(Continued)
• Always drive and ride with
your seatback upright and the
lap portion of the safety belt,
or lap belt, snug and low
across the hips. This position
puts your safety belts in the
best position to protect you in
case of an accident.
• In order to avoid unnecessary
airbag injuries including the
possibility of severe injury or
death, always sit as far back
as possible from the steering
wheel so that your chest is
away at least 250 mm (10 inch-
es) away from the steering
wheel.
WARNING
• Loose objects in the driver’s
foot area could interfere with
the operation of the foot ped-
als, possibly causing an acci-
dent. Loose objects might
interfere with the seat slide
mechanism. Do not place any-
thing under the front seats.
• Children should never be left
unattended in the car.
WARNING — Driver’s seat
• Never attempt to adjust seat
while the vehicle is moving.
This could result in loss of
control, and an accident caus-
ing death, serious injury, or
property damage.
• Do not allow anything to inter-
fere with the normal position
of the seatback. Storing items
against a seatback or in any
other way interfering with
proper locking of a seatback
could result in serious or fatal
injury in a sudden stop or col-
lision.

force to the unprotected
abdomen or neck. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could
result. Keep the seatbacks in a
comfortably upright position
whenever the vehicle is in

Warming the driver’s seat
(if equipped)
The front seats can be electrically
heated individually when the ignition
switch is ON. When you depress the
seat warmer switch, a thermostat
regulates seat temperature. To deac-
tivate the heating system, depress
the switch once again.
✽
✽ NOTICE
• The seat warmer will not operate
if ambient temperature is above
37±3 °C (98.5±5.5°F).
• If the seat warmer doesn’t work
when the ambient temperature is
below 28±3 °C (82.5±5.5°F), have
the system checked by an author-
ized dealer.
• When cleaning the seats, do not
use an organic solvent such as
thinner, benzene, alcohol and
gasoline. Doing so may damage
the surface of the heater or seats.
• To prevent overheating the seat
warmer, do not place blankets,
cushions or seat covers on the
seats while the seat warmer is in
operation.
• Do not place heavy or sharp
objects on seats equipped with
seat warmers. Damage to the seat
warming components could occur.
WARNING
Passengers should use extreme
caution when using seat warm-
ers due to the possibility of
excess heating or burns. In par-
ticular, the following types of
passengers should exercise
extreme care:
1. Infants, children, elderly or
handicapped persons, or hos-
pital outpatients
2. Persons with sensitive skin or

Pre-tensioner seat belt
(if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with driver’s
and front passenger’s pre-tensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre-
tensioner is to make sure that the
seat belts fit tightly against the occu-
pant’s body in certain frontal colli-
sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated together with the
airbags, where the frontal collision is
severe enough.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents.Their locations are shown in
the illustration.
➀ SRS airbag warning light
➁ Seatbelt pre-tensioner assembly
➂ SRS airbag control module
SAFETY BELTS
2GHB3002
CAUTION
Both the driver’s and front pas-
senger’s pre-tensioner seat
belts will be activated in certain
frontal collisions. The pre-ten-
sioner seat belts can be activat-
ed, where the frontal collision is
severe enough, together with
the airbag. The pre-tensioners
will be activated under these
conditions even if there is no
one on the seat at the time of
the collision.

WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit from
a pre-tensioner seat belt:
• The seat belt must be worn
correctly.
• The seat belt must be adjusted
to the correct position.
CAUTION
When the pre-tensioner seat
belts are activated, a loud noise
may be heard and fine dust,
which may appear to be smoke,
may be visible in the passenger
compartment and are not toxic.
Although, it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation
and should not be breathed for
prolonged periods. Wash your
hands and face thoroughly after
an accident in which the airbags
and/or pre-tensioner seat belts
were activated.
CAUTION
• Because the sensor that acti-
vates the SRS airbag is con-
nected with pre-tensioner seat
belt, the SRS airbag warning
light on the instrument panel
will blink or illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds after
the ignition key has been
turned to the “ON” position,
then the light should go off.
• If the pre-tensioner seat belt is
not working properly, this
warning light will illuminate
even if there is no malfunction
of SRS airbag system. If the
SRS airbag warning light does
not illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to “ON” , or
if it remains illuminated after
blinking or illuminating for
approximately 6 seconds, or if
it illuminates while the vehicle
is being driven, please have
an authorized Kia dealer
inspect the pre-tensioner seat
belt or SRS airbag system as
soon as possible.

WARNING
• Pre-tensioners are designed
to operate once. After activa-
tion, pre-tensioner seat belts
must be replaced. All seat
belts, of any type, should
always be replaced after they
have been worn during a colli-
sion.
• Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. This must be
done by an authorized Kia
dealer.
CAUTION
The pre-tensioner seat belt
assembly mechanisms become
hot during activation. Do not
touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assembly for several min-
utes after they have been acti-
vated.
WARNING
• Do not strike the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies.
• Do not attempt to service or
repair the pre-tensioner seat
belt system in any manner.
• Improper handling of the pre-
tensioner seat belt assem-
blies, and failure to heed the
warnings not to strike, modify,
inspect, place, service or
repair the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies may lead to
improper operation or inad-
vertent activation causing
serious injury.
Always wear the seat belts
when driving or riding in a
motor vehicle.

Safety belt restraint system We strongly recommend that the
driver and all passengers be proper-
ly restrained at all times by using the
safety belts provided with the vehi-
cle. Proper use of the safety belts
decreases the risk of severe injury or
death in accidents or sudden stops.
All seats (including or except the
center rear seat) have lap/shoulder
belts. Inertial locks in the safety belt
retractors allow all of the lap/shoul-
der safety belts to remain unlocked
during normal vehicle operation. This
allows the occupants some freedom
of movement and increased comfort
while using the safety belts. If a force
is applied to the vehicle, such as a
strong stop, a sharp turn, or a colli-
sion, the safety belt retractors will
automatically lock the safety belts.
Since the inertial locks do not require
a collision in order to lock up, you
may become aware of the safety
belts locking while braking or going
around sharp corners.
Always use the rear seat position(s)
to install your child restraint(s).
Never install a child restraint system
in the front passenger position, as an
inflating airbag could cause serious
or fatal injury to a child in that posi-
tion.
WARNING — Safety belts
To minimize the risk of serious
or fatal injury in an accident, the
driver and all passengers
should use the appropriate
safety restraints for their age
and size. The presence of
airbags does not change the
need to be properly restrained
by a safety belt or size-appropri-
ate child restraint. In fact,
airbags are designed to work
the best when passengers are
correctly restrained in the vehi-
cle. Be sure you are familiar
with the information in this sec-
tion, including the information
on infant and child restraints.
Read the safety warnings on the
sun visors of your vehicle also.

WARNING — Belt use
Safety belts must be used cor-
rectly to work properly in an
accident. Each seating position
in your vehicle has a specific
safety belt assembly that
includes a buckle and tongue
designed to be used together.
For greatest effectiveness, fol-
low these guidelines in using
safety belts:
• Use the shoulder portion of
the safety belt on the outside
shoulder only. Never wear the
shoulder portion under the
arm.
• Never swing the safety belt
around your neck to fit over
the inside shoulder.
• Never wear the shoulder por-
tion of the safety belt across
the neck or face.
(Continued)
Safety belts provide the best restraint
when:
• 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
the chest.
• The knees are straight forward.
To help you remember to fasten your
safety belt, a warning light will come
on. See Safety Belt Warning Light on
page 3-38.
WARNING — After a colli-
sion
• Lap/shoulder belt assemblies
may be stretched or damaged
when subjected to the stress
and forces of a collision.
• The entire restraint system
should be inspected following
any collision. All belts, retrac-
tors, anchors and hardware
damaged by a collision should
be replaced before the vehicle
is operated again.
WARNING — Cargo area
Passengers should never be
allowed to ride in the cargo area
of a vehicle. No safety belts are
provided for the cargo area.
Persons riding in the vehicle
without a fastened safety belt
are much more likely to suffer
serious bodily injury or death
during an accident.
WARNING — Twisted belts
A twisted or jammed safety belt
cannot restrain you properly. If
you cannot untwist or unjam the
safety belt, have an authorized
Kia dealer it immediately. Never
drive or ride with a twisted or
jammed safety belt.

(Continued)
• Wear the lap portion as low as
possible. Be sure that the lap
belt fits snugly around the
hips. Never wear a lap portion
of a lap/shoulder belt over
your waist; it should always
go over the stronger area of
your hips.
• Never use a single safety belt
for more than one person.
• The front seatbacks should
always remain in a comfort-
able, upright position when
the vehicle is moving.
WARNING — Safety belt
care
• A damaged belt may not give
you the protection you need in
an accident.
• Inspect your safety belts peri-
odically for excessive wear or
damage. Pull out each belt
fully and look for fraying, cuts,
burns or other damage. Pull
the safety belt out and let it
retract a number of times.
Make sure that the lap/shoul-
der belts return smoothly and
easily into the retractor.
• Check the latches to make
sure they latch and release
without interference or delay.
• Never close the doors on any
part of the lap or shoulder
belt.
• Any belt not in good condition
or in good working order
should be promptly replaced.
CAUTION
Never 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 acci-
dent.
