Kia Sportage 2008 Manual de usuario

kia, the company

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 ques-

tions 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 syl-

lable, 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!

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 sat-

isfaction.

Because subsequent owners require this important infor-

mation as well, this publication should remain with the

vehicle if it is sold.

This manual will familiarize you with operational, main-

tenance and safety information about your new vehicle. It

is supplemented by a Warranty and Consumer

Information manual that provides important information

on all warranties regarding your vehicle. If your vehicle

is equipped with an audio system, you will also have a

Kia Integrated Audio System manual explaining its oper-

ation. 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 fea-

tures for its various models.

Therefore, the equipment described in this manual, along

with the various illustrations, may not all be applicable to

your particular vehicle.

The information and specifications provided in this man-

ual were accurate at the time of printing. Kia reserves the

right to discontinue or change specifications or design at

any time without notice and without incurring any oblig-

ation. If you have questions, always check with your Kia

Dealer.

We assure you of our continuing interest in your motor-

ing pleasure and satisfaction in your Kia vehicle.

We want to help you get the greatest

good place to start is the index; it has

an alphabetical listing of all informa-

tion in your manual.

Sections: This manual has eight sec-

tions plus an index. Each section

begins with a brief list of contents so

you can tell at a glance if that section

has the information you want.

You’ll find various WARNING’s,

CAUTION’s, and NOTICE’s in this

manual. These WARNING’s,

CAUTION’s and NOTICE’s were pre-

pared to enhance your personal

safety and continued satisfaction

with Kia vehicle. You should carefully

read and follow ALL procedures and

Introduction

VEHICLE HANDLING

INSTRUCTIONS

As with other vehicles of this type,

failure to operate this vehicle correct-

ly may result in loss of control, an

accident or vehicle rollover.

Specific design characteristics (high-

er ground clearance, track, etc.) give

this vehicle a higher center of gravity

than other types of vehicles. In other

words they are not designed for cor-

nering at the same speeds as con-

ventional 2-wheel drive vehicles.

Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu-

vers. Again, failure to operate this

vehicle correctly may result in loss of

control, an accident or vehicle

rollover. Be sure to read the “on-

pavement” and “off-road” driving

guidelines, in section 5 of this

manual.

VEHICLE BREAK-IN

PROCESS

No special break-in period is needed.

By following a few simple precautions

for the first 1,000 km (600 miles) you

may add to the performance, econo-

my and life of your vehicle.

• Do not race the engine.

• Do not maintain a single speed for

long periods of time, either fast or

slow. Varying engine speed is

needed to properly break-in the

engine.

• Avoid hard stops, except in emer-

gencies, to allow the brakes to seat

properly.

• Avoid full-throttle starts.
