GAS STATION INFORMATION

kia, tthe ccompany

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!

i

Thank you for choosing a Kia vehicle.

When you require service, remember that your dealer knows

your vehicle best. Your dealer has factory-trained technicians,

recommended special tools, genuine Kia replacement parts and

is dedicated to your complete satisfaction.

Because subsequent owners require this important information

as well, this publication should remain with the vehicle if it is

sold.

This manual will familiarize you with operational, mainte-

nance and safety information about your new vehicle. It is sup-

plemented by a Warranty and Consumer Information manual

that provides important information on all warranties regarding

your vehicle.

We urge you to read these publications carefully and follow the

recommendations to help assure enjoyable and safe operation

of your new vehicle.

Kia offers a great variety of options, components and features

for its various models.

Therefore, the equipment described in this manual, along with

ticular vehicle.

Introduction

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 seat-

belt pretensioner systems should be

deployed and then to activate the

deployment, and if equipped, to oper-

ate 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 informa-

tion that is useful to service techni-

cians 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 seat-

belt 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 sys-

tem, 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 infor-

mation consists of data related to

seatbelt usage and if there was diag-

nostic 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 infor-

mation discussed above may vary

from state to state. In some states,

such information is considered pri-

vate, is exclusively owned by the

owner of the motor vehicle, and is not

retrievable or usable by another per-

son or entity.
