When using a floor mat on the floor
carpet, make sure it attaches to the
floor mat anchor(s) in your vehicle.
This keeps the floor mat from sliding
forward.

The following must be observed
when installing ANY floormat to the
vehicle.

EXTERIOR FEATURES

Roof rack (if equipped)

If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load cargo on top of your vehicle.
We recommend to obtain the cross-
bars and fixing components needed
to install the roof rack on your vehicle
from an authorized Kia dealer.

✽

✽

NOTICE

• The crossbars (if equipped) should

be placed in the proper load carry-
ing positions prior to placing items
onto the roof rack.

• If the vehicle is equipped with a

sunroof, be sure not to position
cargo onto the roof rack in such a
way that it could interfere with sun-
roof operation.

• When the roof rack is not being

used to carry cargo, the crossbars
may need to be repositioned if wind
noise is detected.

OPS043201

CAUTION -

Loading Roof
Rack

• When carrying cargo on the

roof rack, take the necessary
precautions to make sure the
cargo does not damage the
roof of the vehicle.

• When carrying large objects

on the roof rack, make sure
they do not exceed the overall
roof length or width.

• When you are carrying cargo

on the roof rack, do not operate
the sunroof (if equipped). This
can damage the sunroof.

WARNING

- Driving with

roof load

Always drive slow and turn cor-
ners carefully when carrying
items on the roof rack. The vehi-
cle's center of gravity will be
higher when items are loaded
onto the roof rack.

Features of your vehicle

• The following specification is the

maximum weight that can be
loaded onto the roof rack.
Distribute the load as evenly as
possible across the crossbars (if
equipped) and roof rack and
secure the load firmly.

Loading cargo or luggage in
excess of the specified weight limit
on the roof rack may damage your
vehicle.

• The vehicle center of gravity will be

higher when items are loaded onto
the roof rack. Avoid sudden starts,
braking, sharp turns, abrupt
maneuvers or high speeds that
may result in loss of vehicle control
or rollover resulting in an accident.

• Always drive slowly and turn cor-

ners carefully when carrying items
on the roof rack. Severe wind
updrafts, caused by passing vehi-
cles or natural causes, can cause
sudden upward pressure on items
loaded on the roof rack. This is
especially true when carrying
large, flat items such as wood pan-
els or mattresses. This could cause
the items to fall off the roof rack
and cause damage to your vehicle
or others around you.

• To prevent damage or loss of cargo

while driving, check frequently
before or while driving to make
sure the items on the roof rack are
securely fastened.

Mounting bracket for roof carrier
(if equipped)

To install or remove a roof carrier,
you can use the mounting bracket
and cover on the roof.
When you install a roof carrier, do
the following procedure.

1. Insert a slim tool (coin or flat blade

driver) into the slot and slide the
cover toward the arrow on the
cover.

roof, be sure not to position cargo
onto the roof in such a way that it
could interfere with sunroof opera-
tion.

• When carrying large objects on the

roof rack, make sure they do not
exceed the overall roof length or
width.

• The vehicle center of gravity will be

higher when items are loaded onto
the roof. Avoid sudden starts, brak-
ing, sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers
or high speeds that may result in
loss of vehicle control or rollover
resulting in an accident.

• To prevent damage or loss of cargo

while driving, check frequently
before or while driving to make
sure the items on the roof are
securely fastened.
