• Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is oper‐
ated by engine power so your fuel
economy is reduced when you use it.
• Open windows at high speeds can re‐
duce fuel economy.
• Fuel economy is less in crosswinds

system serviced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
