DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING
ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE
DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be
extremely dangerous. If, at any
time, you smell exhaust fumes
inside the vehicle, open the windows
immediately.
• Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas
that can cause unconsciousness
and death by asphyxiation.
• Be sure the exhaust system does
not leak.
The exhaust system should be
checked whenever the vehicle
is raised to change the oil or
for any other purpose. If you
hear a change in the sound of
the exhaust or if you drive over
something that strikes the
underneath side of the vehicle,
have the system checked by
a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
• Do not run the engine in an
enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your
garage, even with the garage door
open, is a hazardous practice.
Never run the engine in your
garage any longer than it takes to
start the engine and back the car
out.
• Avoid idling the engine for
prolonged periods with people
inside the car.
If it is necessary to idle the engine
for a prolonged period with people
inside the car, be sure to do so
only in an open area with the
air intake set at "Fresh" and fan
operating at one of the higher
speeds so fresh air is drawn into
the interior.
If you must drive with the trunk
lid open because you are carrying
objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at
"Fresh", the air flow control at
"Floor" or "Face" and the fan at
one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the
ventilation system, be sure the
ventilation air intakes located just
in front of the windshield are kept
clear of snow, ice, leaves or other
obstructions.
