Malfunction indicator

(MIL) (check engine

light)

This indicator light is part of the

Engine Control System which moni-

tors various emission control system

components. If this light illuminates

while driving, it indicates that a

potential malfunction has been

detected somewhere in the emission

control system.

This light will also illuminate when

the ignition switch is turned to the

ON position, and will go out in a few

seconds after the engine is started. If

it illuminates while driving, or does

not illuminate when the ignition

switch is turned to the ON position,

take your vehicle to the nearest

authorized Kia dealer and have the

system checked.

Generally, your vehicle will continue

to be drivable, but have the system

checked by an authorized Kia dealer

promptly.

ESC (Electronic Stability

Control) indicator

(if equipped)

The ESC indicator will illuminate

when the ignition switch is turned

ON, but should go off after approxi-

mately 3 seconds. When the ESC is

on, it monitors the driving conditions

and under normal driving conditions,

the ESC indicator will remain off.

When a slippery or low traction con-

dition is encountered, the ESC will

operate, and the ESC indicator will

blink to indicate the ESC is operat-

ing.

If this indicator illuminates and stays

on, the ESC may have malfunc-

tioned. Take your vehicle to an

authorized Kia dealer and have the

system checked.

CAUTION - MIL

illumination

• Prolonged driving with the

Emission Control System

Malfunction Indicator Light

illuminated may cause dam-

age to the emission control

systems which could effect

drivability and/or fuel econo-

my.

• If the Emission Control

System Malfunction Indicator

Light illuminates, potential

catalytic converter damage is

possible. This could result in

loss of engine power. Have the

Engine Control System

inspected as soon as possible

by an authorized Kia dealer.
