Good driving practices
• Ne
ver shift to P (Park) or from N
(Neutral) to any other position with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
• Never shift to P (Park) when the ve‐
hicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
• Do
not shift to N (Neutral) when driv‐
ing. Doing so may result in an acci‐
dent.
• Do not drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. Even light, but con‐
sistent pedal pressure can result in
the brakes overheating, brake wear
and possibly even brake failure.
• Always apply the parking brake when
leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on
placing the gear in P (Park) to keep
the vehicle from moving.
• Exercise extreme caution when driv‐
ing on a slippery surface. Be especial‐
ly careful when braking, accelerating
or shifting gears. On a slippery sur‐
face, an abrupt change in vehicle
speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an acci‐
dent
• Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly de‐
pressing and releasing the accelera‐
tor.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS IN‐
JUR
Y or DEATH:
• ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a
c
ollision, an unbelted occupant is
significantly more likely to be seri‐
ously injured or killed than a prop‐
erly belted occupant.
• Avoid high speeds when cornering
or turning.
• Do not make quick steering wheel
mov
ements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
• The risk of rollover is greatly in‐
cr
eased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
• Loss of control often occurs if two
or
more wheels drop off the road‐
way and the driver over steers to
reenter the roadway.
• In the event your vehicle leaves
the
roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
• Kia recommends you follow all
posted speed limits.
