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!

Introduction
VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS
Your Kia vehicle is equipped with
many high technology, electronically
controlled systems that help to
ensure your vehicle operates properly
and provides the performance that
you expect. These systems utilize
computers to monitor the operation of
various systems and components and
help to control their operation. These
computerized system operations are
wide-ranging and involve components
to reduce emissions, to continuously
evaluate the readiness of the airbag
and seatbelt pretensioner systems, to
determine when the airbag and seatbelt pretensioner systems should be
deployed and then to activate the
deployment, and if equipped, to operate anti-lock braking, traction control
and electrical stability control to
assist the driver to control the vehicle
in difficult driving situations. These
systems electronically store information that is useful to service technicians when they need to diagnose and
repair these systems.
Additional information is stored only
when a crash occurs that results in
the deployment of the airbags or seatbelt pretensioners. This type of data
storage is done by devices called
event data recorders (EDR).
After a crash event, the airbag and
seatbelt pretensioner computer system, known as the Supplemental
Restraint System Control Module
(SRSCM) or Airbag Control Unit
(ACU), may record some information
about the condition of the vehicle and
how it was being operated. This information consists of data related to
seatbelt usage and if there was diagnostic information in the airbag or
seatbelt systems at the time that a
crash occurred, and if the ACU
sensed that a crash of sufficient
severity occurred to require seat belt
pretensioner or airbag deployment.
To retrieve this information, special
equipment is needed and access to
the vehicle or the device that stores
the data is required. Kia will not
access information about a crash
event or share it with others except:
• in response to an official request of
police or similar government office,
or
• with the consent of the vehicle
owner or, if the vehicle is leased,
with the consent of the lessee, or
• as part Kia’s defense of litigation
through the discovery process, or
• as required by law.
Your rights with respect to the information discussed above may vary
from state to state. In some states,
such information is considered private, is exclusively owned by the
owner of the motor vehicle, and is not
retrievable or usable by another person or entity.

WARNING - Ignition key
Leaving children unattended in a
vehicle with the ignition key is dangerous even if the key is not in the
ignition. Children copy adults and
they could place the key in the ignition. The ignition key would enable
children to operate power windows
or other controls, or even make the
vehicle move, which could result in
serious bodily injury or even death.
Never leave the keys in your vehicle
with unsupervised children.
23
WARNING
Use only Kia original parts for the
ignition key in your vehicle. If an
aftermarket key is used, the ignition
switch may not return to ON after
START. If this happens, the starter
will continue to operate causing
damage to the starter motor and
possible fire due to excessive current in the wiring.

Knowing your vehicle
For a seating position more comfortable
to the driver and front passenger, adjust
the seat forward, backward, up and
down.
CAUTION
• Power seats are driven by electric
motor. Stop operating when the
adjustment is completed.
Excessive operation may damage
the electrical equipment.
• When in operation, the power
seats consume large amounts of
electrical power. To prevent
unnecessary charging system
drain, don’t adjust the power
seats longer than necessary
while the engine is not running.
• Do not operate two or more power
seat control buttons at the same
time. Doing so may result in
power seat motor or electrical
component malfunction.
WARNING
• Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the operation of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident. Loose
objects might interfere with the
seat slide mechanism. Do not
place anything under the front
seats.
• The power seats are operable
with the ignition OFF.
Therefore, children should never
be left unattended in the car.
WARNING - Driver’s seat
• Never attempt to adjust the seat
while the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control,
and an accident causing death,
serious injury, or property damage.
• Do not allow anything to interfere
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
collision.
• 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 air
bag 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 10
inches (250 mm) away from the
steering wheel.
