2010 Kia Sportage Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
WARNING
WARNING - Jacked vehi-
cle
WARNING - 4WD driving
•  Avoid high cornering speed.
Your  vehicle  is  equipped   with
tires  designed   to   provide  for
safe ride and  handling capabili-
ty. Do not use a size and type of
tire  and wheel  that  is  different
from  the  one  that  is originally
installed on  your vehicle. It can
affect   the  safety   and   perfor-
mance  of  your   vehicle,  which
could lead to handling failure or
rollover    and   serious    injury.
When   replacing  the   tires,   be
sure to  equip all  four tires with
the tire  and  wheel of  the same
size,   type,   tread,   brand   and
load-carrying   capacity.   If  you
nevertheless   decide   to  equip
your vehicle with  any tire/wheel
combination  not recommended
by Kia  for off  road driving,  you
should  not  use  these  tires for
highway driving.

While the  full-time 4WD  vehicle
is being  raised on a  jack, never
start  the  engine  or   cause  the
tires to rotate.
There is the danger that rotating
tires touching the ground  could
cause the  vehicle  to go  off the
jack and to jump forward.
Do  not  make   quick  steering
wheel   movements,   such  as
sharp  lane   changes  or  fast,
sharp turns.
The risk  of  rollover is  greatly
increased  if you  lose  control
of your vehicle at high speed.
In a collision, an unbelted per-
son is significantly more likely
to  die compared  to  a  person
wearing a seat belt.
CAUTION - Mud or  snow
If one of the front or rear wheels
begins  to  spin  in   mud,  snow,
etc. the  vehicle can  sometimes
be driven out by depressing the
accelerator  pedal further;  how-
ever  avoid  running  the  engine
continuously     at     high     rpm
because  doing  so  could  dam-
age the 4WD system.
•  Loss of control often occurs if
two  or more  wheels  drop  off
the  roadway   and  the   driver
over   steers  to   re-enter   the
roadway.  In   the   event  your
vehicle leaves the roadway, do
not   steer   sharply.    Instead,
slow down before pulling back
into the travel lanes.

I think it is good and helpful thanks

The manual and the car is good. Your web site is like your dealers. Intrustive and obnoxious. Keep it simple and butt out of my life.
