ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
WARNING
n ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE
DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be ex‐
tremely dangerous. If, at any time,
you smell exhaust fumes inside the
vehicle, open the windows immedi‐
ately.
• 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 ex‐
haust or if you drive over some‐
thing that strikes the underneath
side of the vehicle, have the sys‐
tem checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.

• Do not run the engine in an en‐
closed area.
Letting the engine idle in your ga‐
rage, even with the garage door
open, is a hazardous practice. Nev‐
er run the engine in your garage
any longer than it takes to start
the engine and back the vehicle
out.
• Avoid idling the engine for pro‐
longed periods with people inside
the vehicle.
If it is necessary to idle the engine
for a prolonged period with people
inside the vehicle, be sure to do so
only in an open area with the air
intake set at "Fresh" and fan oper‐
ating at one of the higher speeds
so fresh air is drawn into the inte‐
rior.
If you must drive with the tailgate/
trunk 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 ven‐
tilation air intakes located just in
front of the windshield are kept
clear of snow, ice, leaves or other
obstructions.
