Driving your vehicle
SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions are
encountered such as water, snow, ice,
mud, sand, or similar hazards, follow
these suggestions:
WARNING - Downshifting
WARNING - Spinning tires
Downshifting with an automatic
transaxle, while driving on slippery
surfaces can cause an accident.
The sudden change in tire speed
could cause the tires to skid. Be
careful when downshifting on slip-
pery surfaces.
Do not spin the wheels, especially
at speeds more than 56 km/h (35
mph). Spinning the wheels at high
speeds when the vehicle is station-
ary could cause a tire to overheat,
explode and injure bystanders.

Drive cautiously and allow extra dis-
tance for braking.
Avoid sudden movements in braking or
steering.
When braking with non-ABS brakes
pump the brake pedal with a light up-
and-down motion until the vehicle is
stopped.
CAUTION
ESC system (if equipped)
should be turned OFF prior to rock-
ing the vehicle.
Rocking the vehicle
The
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn

WARNING
equipped with an automatic transaxle. Do
not race the engine, and spin the wheels
as little as possible. If you are still stuck
after a few tries, have the vehicle pulled
out by a tow vehicle to avoid engine over-
heating and possible damage to the
transaxle.
If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may
attempt to rock the vehicle free by
moving it forward and backward. Do
not attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near the
vehicle. During the rocking opera-
tion the vehicle may suddenly move
forward or backward as it becomes
unstuck, causing injury or damage
to nearby people or objects.

•
If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use
second gear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
Use sand, rock salt or other non-slip
material under the drive wheels to pro-
vide traction when stalled in ice, snow,
or mud.
CAUTION
Prolonged
rocking
may
cause
engine over-heating, transaxle dam-
age or failure, and tire damage.

Automotive readers have rated 2010 Kia Sedona Owners Manual 4.3 out of 5.0 based on 3 product reviews. I downloaded the manual for my father, who just purchased a 2010 Sedona. Since the vehicle did not come with a manual, it's nice to know they're site like Need Manual on the internet to assist. The only issue I could see is on the actual manual itself. On page 3/37 the text feature on that page did not appear. The only thing that came up was the rose colored square which looks like a picture of the seats should have appeared. Other than that, I really do appreciate you guys for having the manual online!
thank you
