Weight of the trailer
What is the maximum safe weight of a
trailer? It should never weigh more
than the maximum trailer weight with
trailer brakes. But even that can be too
heavy.
It depends on how you plan to use your
trailer. For example, speed, altitude,
road grades, outside temperature and
how often your vehicle is used to pull a
trailer are all important. The ideal trail‐
er weight can also depend on any spe‐
cial equipment that you have on your
vehicle.
Weight of the trailer tongue
The tongue load of any trailer is an im‐
portant weight to measure because it
affects the total gross vehicle weight
(GVW) of your vehicle. This weight in‐
cludes the curb weight of the vehicle,
any cargo you may carry in it, and the
people who will be riding in the vehicle.
And if you will tow a trailer, you must
add the tongue load to the GVW be‐
cause your vehicle will also be carrying
that weight.
The trailer tongue should weigh a max‐
imum of 10% of the total loaded trailer
weight, within the limits of the maxi‐
mum permissible trailer tongue load.
After you've loaded your trailer, weigh
the trailer and then the tongue, sepa‐
rately, to see if the weights are proper.
If they aren t, you may be able to cor‐
rect them simply by moving some
items around in the trailer.
WARNING
n Trailer
• Never load a trailer with more
weight in the rear than in the
front. The front should be loaded
with approximately 60% of the to‐
tal trailer load; the rear should be
loaded with approximately 40% of
the total trailer load.
• Never exceed the maximum
weight limits of the trailer or trail‐
er towing equipment. Improper
loading can result in damage to
your vehicle and/or personal injury.
Check weights and loading at a
commercial scale or highway pa‐
trol office equipped with scales.
• An improperly loaded trailer can
cause loss of vehicle control.

VEHICLE WEIGHT
This section will guide you in the proper
loading of your vehicle and/or trailer, to
keep your loaded vehicle weight within
its design rating capability, with or
without a trailer. Properly loading your
vehicle will provide maximum return of
the vehicle design performance. Before
loading your vehicle, familiarize your‐
self with the following terms for deter‐
mining your vehicle's weight ratings,
with or without a trailer, from the vehi‐
cle's specifications and the certification
label:
Base curb weight
This is the weight of the vehicle includ‐
ing a full tank of fuel and all standard
equipment. It does not include passen‐
gers, cargo, or optional equipment.
Vehicle curb weight
This is the weight of your new vehicle
when you picked it up from your dealer
plus any aftermarket equipment.
Cargo weight
This figure includes all weight added to
the Base Curb Weight, including cargo
and optional equipment.
GAW (Gross axle weight)
This is the total weight placed on each
axle (front and rear) - including vehicle
curb weight and all payload.
GAWR (Gross axle weight rating)
This is the maximum allowable weight
that can be carried by a single axle
(front or rear). These numbers are
shown on the certification label.
The total load on each axle must never
exceed its GAWR.
GVW (Gross vehicle weight)
This is the Base Curb Weight plus actual
Cargo Weight plus passengers.
GVWR (Gross vehicle weight
rating)
This is the maximum allowable weight
of the fully loaded vehicle (including all
options, equipment, passengers and
cargo). The GVWR is shown on the cer‐
tification label.
Overloading
WARNING
n Vehicle weight
The gross axle weight rating (GAWR)
and the gross vehicle weight rating
(GVWR) for your vehicle are on the
certification label attached to the
driver's (or front passenger’s) door.
Exceeding these ratings can cause
an accident or vehicle damage. You
can calculate the weight of your load
by weighing the items (and people)
before putting them in the vehicle.
Be careful not to overload your vehi‐
cle.

ROAD WARNING
Hazard warning flasher
The hazard warning flasher serves as a
warning to other drivers to exercise ex‐
treme caution when approaching, over‐
taking, or passing your vehicle.
It should be used whenever emergency
repairs are being made or when the ve‐
hicle is stopped near the edge of a
roadway.
Depress the flasher switch with the ig‐
nition switch in any position. The flash‐
er switch is located in the center con‐
sole switch panel. All turn signal lights
will flash simultaneously.
• The hazard warning flasher operates
whether your vehicle is running or
not.
• The turn signals do not work when
the hazard flasher is on.
• Care must be taken when using the
hazard warning flasher while the ve‐
hicle is being towed.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILE DRIVING
If the engine stalls at a
crossroad or crossing
• If the engine stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, set the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the
vehicle to a safe place.
• If your vehicle has a manual transaxle
not equipped with a ignition lock
switch, the vehicle can move forward
by shifting to the 2(Second) or
3(Third) gear and then turning the
starter without depressing the clutch
pedal.
If you have a flat tire while
driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow down
while driving straight ahead. Do not
apply the brakes immediately or
attempt to pull off the road as this
may cause a loss of control. When
the vehicle has slowed down to
such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully and pull off the
road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on a firm level
ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes.
2. When the vehicle is stopped, turn
on your emergency hazard flash‐
ers, set the parking brake and put
the transaxle in P (automatic
transaxle / dual clutch transmis‐
sion) or reverse (manual transaxle).
3. Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
4. When changing a flat tire, follow
the instruction provided later in If
you have a flat tire on page 7-13.
If the engine stalls while driving
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keep‐
ing a straight line. Move cautiously
off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If
your vehicle does not start, consult
a professional workshop. Kia rec‐
ommends to consult an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
If engine doesn't turn over or
turns over slowly
1. If your vehicle has an automatic
transaxle / dual clutch transmis‐
sion, be sure the shift lever is in N
(Neutral) or P (Park) and the emer‐
gency brake is set.
2. Check the battery connections to
be sure they are clean and tight.
3. Turn on the interior light. If the
light dims or goes out when you
operate the starter, the battery is
discharged.
4. Check the starter connections to be
sure they are securely tightened.
5. Do not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. See instructions for Jump
WARNING
If the engine will not start, do not
push or pull the vehicle to start it.
This could result in a collision or
cause other damage. In addition,
push or pull starting may cause the
catalytic converter to be overloaded
and create a fire hazard.
If engine turns over normally
but does not start
1. Check the fuel level.
2. With the ignition switch in the LOCK
position, check all connectors at the
ignition coils and spark plugs. Re‐
connect any that may be discon‐
nected or loose.
3. Check the fuel line in the engine
compartment.
4. If the engine still does not start, call
a professional workshop. Kia rec‐
ommends to call an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.

EMERGENCY STARTING
Connect cables in numerical order and
disconnect in reverse order.
Jump starting
Jump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid harm to
yourself or damage to your vehicle or
battery, follow the jump starting pro‐
cedures. If in doubt, we strongly rec‐
ommend that you have a competent
technician or towing service jump start
your vehicle.
CAUTION
Use only a 12-volt jumper system.
You can damage a 12-volt starting
motor, ignition system, and other
electrical parts beyond repair by use
of a 24- volt power supply (either
two 12-volt batteries in series or a
24-volt motor generator set).
WARNING
n Battery
Never attempt to check the electro‐
lyte level of the battery as this may
cause the battery to rupture or ex‐
plode causing serious injury.
WARNING
n Battery
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Keep all flames or sparks away
from the battery. The battery
produces hydrogen gas which may
explode if exposed to flame or
sparks.
If these instructions are not fol‐
lowed exactly, serious personal in‐
jury and damage to the vehicle
may occur! If you are not sure how
to follow this procedure, seek
qualified assistance. Automobile
batteries contain sulfuric acid. This
is poisonous and highly corrosive.
When jump starting, wear protec‐
tive glasses and be careful not to
get acid on yourself, your clothing
or on the vehicle.
• Do not attempt to jump start the
vehicle if the discharged battery is
frozen or if the electrolyte level is
low; the battery may rupture or
explode.
• Do not allow the (+) and (-) jumper
cables to touch. It may cause
sparks.
• The battery may rupture or ex‐
plode when you jump start with a
low or frozen battery.

Jump starting procedure
1. Make sure the booster battery is
12-volt and that its negative termi‐
nal is grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, do not allow the vehicles
come in contact.
3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical
loads.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the
exact sequence shown in the illus‐
tration. First connect one end of a
jumper cable to the positive termi‐
nal of the discharged battery (1),
then connect the other end to the
positive terminal on the booster
battery (2).
Proceed to connect one end of the
other jumper cable to the negative
terminal of the booster battery (3),
then the other end to a solid, sta‐
tionary, metallic point (for example,
the engine lifting bracket) away
from the battery (4). Do not con‐
nect it to or near any part that
moves when the engine is cranked.
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the correct
battery terminals or the correct
ground. Do not lean over the bat‐
tery when making connections.
CAUTION
n Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable
from the negative terminal of the
booster battery to the negative ter‐
minal of the discharged battery.
This can cause the discharged bat‐
tery to overheat and crack, releasing
battery acid.
Make sure to connect one end of the
jumper cable to the negative termi‐
nal of the booster battery, and the
other end to a metallic point, far
away from the battery.
5. Start the engine of the vehicle with
the booster battery and let it run
at 2,000 rpm, then start the engine
of the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
If the cause of your battery discharging
is not apparent, have the system
checked by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
Push-starting
Your manual transaxle-equipped vehi‐
cle should not be push-started because
it might damage the emission control
system.
If your vehicle has an automatic trans‐
axle / dual clutch transmission, be sure
the shift lever is in N (Neutral) or P
(Park) and the emergency brake is set.
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle to start it be‐
cause the sudden surge forward
when the engine starts could cause
a collision with the tow vehicle.
What to do in an emergency
7-06
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you will experience a loss
of power, or hear loud pinging or knock‐
ing, the engine is probably too hot. If
this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon
as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in P (automatic
transaxle / dual clutch transmis‐
sion) or neutral (manual transaxle)
and set the parking brake. If the air
conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out un‐
der the vehicle or steam is coming
out from the hood, stop the engine.
Do not open the hood until the
coolant has stopped running or the
steaming has stopped. If there is no
visible loss of engine coolant and no
steam, leave the engine running
and check to be sure the engine
cooling fan is operating. If the fan is
not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump
drive belt is missing. If it is not
missing, check to see that it is
tight. If the drive belt seems to be
satisfactory, check for coolant
leaking from the radiator, hoses or
under the vehicle. (If the air condi‐
tioning had been in use, it is normal
for cold water to be draining from
it when you stop).
WARNING
While the engine is running, keep
hair, hands and clothing away from
moving parts such as the fan and
drive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is bro‐
ken or engine coolant is leaking out,
stop the engine immediately and
call a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to call an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. This can al‐
low coolant to blow out of the open‐
ing and cause serious burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor‐
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,
carefully add coolant to the reser‐
voir to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert
for further signs of overheating. If
overheating happens again, call a
professional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to call an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
•
Serious loss of coolant indicates
there is a leak in the cooling sys‐
tem. In this case, have the sys‐
tem checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
•
When the engine overheats from
low engine coolant, suddenly
adding engine coolant may cause
cracks in the engine. To prevent
damage, add engine coolant
slowly in small quantities.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (IF EQUIPPED)
Low tire pressure telltale / TPMS mal‐
function indicator
Each tire, including the spare (if provi‐
ded), should be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the inflation pres‐
sure recommended by the vehicle man‐
ufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle
has tires of a different size than the
size indicated on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehi‐
cle has been equipped with a tire pres‐
sure monitoring system (TPMS) that il‐
luminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is sig‐
nificantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale illu‐
minates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and in‐
flate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle s han‐
dling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not oper‐
ating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system de‐
tects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon sub‐
sequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the mal‐
function indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a va‐
riety of reasons, including the installa‐
tion of replacement or alternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to en‐
sure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
What to do in an emergency
7-08
NOTICE
If the TPMS indicator does not illu‐
minate for 3 seconds when the igni‐
tion switch is turned to the ON posi‐
tion or engine is running, or if it
comes on after blinking for approxi‐
mately one minute, have the system
checked by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an author‐
ized Kia dealer/service partner.
Low tire pressure
telltale
When the tire pressure
monitoring system warning
indicator is illuminated, one or more of
your tires is significantly under-infla‐
ted.
If the telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard corner‐
ing and anticipate increased stopping
distances. You should check your tires
as soon as possible. Inflate the tires to
the proper pressure as indicated on the
vehicle s placard or tire inflation pres‐
sure label located on the driver s side
center pillar outer panel. If you cannot
reach a service station or if the tire
cannot hold the newly added air, re‐
place the low pressure tire with the
spare tire.
Then the Low Tire Pressure telltale
may flash for approximately one mi‐
nute and then remain continuously illu‐
minated after restarting and about 20
minutes of continuous driving before
you have the low pressure tire repaired
and replaced on the vehicle.
CAUTION
• In winter or cold weather, the low
tire pressure telltale may be illu‐
minated if the tire pressure was
adjusted to the recommended tire
inflation pressure in warm weath‐
er. It does not mean your TPMS is
malfunctioning because the de‐
creased temperature leads to a
lowering of tire pressure.
• When you drive your vehicle from
a warm area to a cold area or from
a cold area to a warm area, or the
outside temperature is higher or
lower, you should check the tire in‐
flation pressure and adjust the
tires to the recommended cold tire
inflation pressure.
• When filling tires with more air,
conditions to turn off the low tire
pressure telltale may not be met.
This is because a tire inflator has a
margin of error in performance.
The low tire pressure telltale will
be turned off if the tire pressure is
above the recommended tire infla‐
tion pressure.
7-09

What to do in an emer
gency
WARNING
n Low pressure damage
Significantly low tire pressure makes
the vehicle unstable and can contrib‐
ute to loss of vehicle control and in‐
creased braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure
tires can cause the tires to overheat
and fail.
TPMS (Tire pressure
monitoring system)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indi‐
cator will illuminate after it blinks for
approximately one minute when there
is a problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. If the system is
able to correctly detect an under infla‐
tion warning at the same time as sys‐
tem failure then it will illuminate the
TPMS malfunction indicator.
In this case, have the system checked
by a professional workshop to deter‐
mine the cause of the problem. Kia rec‐
ommends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if the vehicle is
moving around electric power sup‐
ply cables or radios transmitter
such as at police stations, govern‐
ment and public offices, broad‐
casting stations, military installa‐
tions, airports, or transmitting
towers, etc. This can interfere
with normal operation of the Tire
Pressure
Monitoring
System
(TPMS).
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may illuminate if snow chains or
some separately purchased devi‐
ces such as notebook computers,
mobile charger, remote starter,
navigation etc. are used in the ve‐
hicle. This can interfere with nor‐
mal operation of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will come on. In this
case, have the system checked by a
professional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
CAUTION
Never use a puncture-repairing
agent not approved by Kia to repair
and/or inflate a low pressure tire.
The tire sealant not approved by Kia
may damage the tire pressure sen‐
sor.
The sealant on the tire pressure
sensor and wheel shall be eliminated
when you replace the tire with a new
one.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire pres‐
sure sensor mounted inside the tire be‐
hind the valve stem. You must use
TPMS specific wheels. Have your tires
serviced by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
Even if you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the Low Tire
Pressure Telltale will blink or remain on
until the low pressure tire is repaired
and placed on the vehicle.
After you replace the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the Low Tire Pres‐
sure Telltale may blink or illuminate af‐
ter driving about 20 minutes because
the TPMS sensor mounted on the spare
wheel is not initiated.
What to do in an emergency
7-10
Once the low pressure tire is reinflated
to the recommended pressure and in‐
stalled on the vehicle or the TPMS sen‐
sor mounted on the replaced spare
wheel is initiated by an authorized Kia
dealer, the TPMS malfunction indicator
and the low tire pressure telltale will
extinguish within a few minutes of
driving.
If the indicator is not extinguished after
a few minutes of driving, have the sys‐
tem checked by a professional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
If original mounted tire is replaced
with the spare tire, the TPMS sensor
on the replaced spare wheel should
be initiated and the TPMS sensor on
the original mounted wheel should
be deactivated by a Kia dealer. If the
TPMS sensor on the original moun‐
ted wheel located in the spare tire
carrier still activates, the tire pres‐
sure monitoring system may not op‐
erate properly. Have the tire with
TPMS serviced or replaced by an au‐
thorized Kia dealer.
You may not be able identify a low tire
by simply looking at it. Always use a
good quality tire pressure gauge to
measure the tire's inflation pressure.
Please note that a tire that is hot (from
being driven) will have a higher pres‐
sure measurement than a tire that is
cold (from sitting stationary for at
least 3 hours and driven less than
1 mile (1.6 km) during that 3 hour peri‐
od).
Allow the tire to cool before measuring
the inflation pressure. Always be sure
the tire is cold before inflating to the
recommended pressure.
A cold tire means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours and driven for less
than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3 hour peri‐
od.
WARNING
n TPMS
• The TPMS cannot alert you to se‐
vere and sudden tire damage
caused by external factors such as
nails or road debris.

properly.
Follow jacking instructions to reduce
the possibility of personal injury.

call a towing service company for
assistance.
• Be sure to use the correct front
and rear jacking positions on the
vehicle; never use the bumpers or
any other part of the vehicle for
jacking support.
