2019 Rio S with Tech Package shown
Voice Recognition1and Bluetooth®2
Using Voice Recognition on UVO eServices System*
Improve Bluetooth®2 Voice Recognition (VR) performance by
making a few simple changes to your phone contacts:
• Use full names (first and last names) vs. short or single
syllable names (“John Smith” vs. “Dad,” “Smith Residence”
vs. “Home”).
• Avoid using special characters, emojis, and hyphenated
names (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.).
• Avoid using acronyms (“Emergency” vs. “ICE” or “In Case of
Emergency”) or words with all capital letters.
• Spell words completely; system will not recognize
abbreviations (“Doctor Smith” vs. “Dr. Smith”).
• Always wait for the beep before speaking any commands.
• When using VR to place a call, speak in a natural, moderate
tone, with clear pronunciation. The system may have
trouble recognizing commands if you speak too soft or
too loud.
• Your VR system may have difficulty understanding some
accents or uncommon names.
• Press the talk button and say “Help” to get a list of
available commands.
Pairing or Connecting Your Phone with Bluetooth*2
• Press the Phone hard key (if equipped) or “Call” button on
the steering wheel to begin the pairing process if no phone
has previously been paired.
• To pair a second phone or subsequent phones, reference
the manuals and guides supplied with your Rio as steps vary
by radio.
• During the pairing process, please make sure you accept
all requests for phonebook download and future auto-
connection on your phone.
• If you experience any issues with auto-connection,
try the following:
• Reboot your phone (turn the phone off and then on).
• Update the phone operating system to the most recently
released version.
• Delete the phone from the radio and the radio from the
phone, and re-pair.
• Ensure the phone has the Bluetooth®2 feature activated.
• If some contacts are not downloading to the radio, check
to confirm that the contact has been entered correctly
and that it has been stored under the categories (HOME,
MOBILE, WORK, iPhone®3) that are supported by the radio.
Some contact categories (MAIN, PAGER, OTHER) may not be
supported. If the number of contacts exceeds the maximum
number allowed on the radio, contacts will be partially
downloaded. Ensure that only the “phone contact list” is
selected for contact download on your phone (not social
media or email contact lists as these contacts may not
download to the radio).
• Phone operating systems change frequently and some
phones may have varying compatibility levels with the
Bluetooth®2 system. For any questions regarding the features
of your vehicle, please contact your preferred Kia dealer or
contact Kia Consumer Assistance at 1-800-333-4542.
Other Bluetooth®2 Tips
• Bluetooth®2 reception is affected by carrier coverage and is
dependent on the phone.
• If streaming audio through Bluetooth®2 from a device, ensure
the listening volume on the device is turned up.

Satellite Radio Reception
Satellite radio reception requires direct line of sight with the satellite transmitting the radio signal.
Tunnels, bridges, covered parking, mountainous terrain, tall buildings, heavy foliage, and other obstacles
may momentarily interrupt the signal. This is normal operation, and reception will be restored within a
few seconds in an open, unobstructed area.
The signal can become weak in some areas that are not covered by the satellite repeater network.

• Adjust the Steering Wheel to the desired angle (B).
• Pull up the Lock-Release Lever (A) to lock the Steering Wheel in place.
Wind Buffeting
In many vehicles, when a rear window is lowered and the front window(s) are in the closed position, air flowing past the open
window(s) induces pressure oscillations, or pulsations, which may be uncomfortable. When opening the rear window(s), always
remember to also open the front window(s), slightly, to relieve the pressure oscillations inside the vehicle.
Trunk / Tailgate Operation
HOLD
5DR vehicles:
The tailgate is locked or unlocked when all doors are locked or unlocked with the key fob or central
door lock switch. When all doors are locked, if the tailgate unlock button on the key fob is pressed
momentarily, the tailgate will unlock. If unlocked, the tailgate on 5DR vehicles can be opened by pressing
the handle and pulling it up.
4DR vehicles:
The trunk can only be opened by using the lever inside the vehicle or holding the trunk button on the key
fob. If the trunk button on the key fob is pressed for more than 1 second, the trunk automatically opens.

USB Ports and Use of Cables
Vehicle may contain USB port(s) for playing music from a compatible media device as well as USB port(s) for charging. Note: devices
will only be recharged when the vehicle is in ACC/ON/Start position.
If you encounter difficulty plugging in a compatible USB device, change the orientation of the device (may be upside down). Always
use the USB charging cable that has been certified by the device manufacturer. Use of aftermarket cables is NOT recommended as
they may impact functionality.
Windshield Defogging

A/C
(Type A shown)

Windshield fogging is caused by moisture in the air condensing on the cold glass.
To help reduce window fogging:
• Keeping the inside of the glass as clean as possible.
• Utilizing the Defrost Mode activates the A/C and opens Fresh Air Vent (A).
• Adjusting the Temperature Control to the desired temperature (B).
Power Outlet*
(Located at rear of Center Console)
The power outlet is designed to provide power for mobile telephones or other devices designed
to operate with vehicle electrical systems. The devices should draw less than 12V, 15A (180W max)
with the engine running.
Use a power outlet only when the engine is running and remove the accessory plug after use.
Using the accessory plug for prolonged periods of time with the engine off could cause the battery
to discharge.
Headrest Adjustments5
• To raise headrest: Pull headrest up.
• To lower headrest: Press lock, then press the headrest down.

Tighten the cap until it clicks one time; otherwise, the Check Engine Light

The Fuel Filler Door Release lever is located on the lower part of the driver’s
door sill.
Condensation Inside Exterior Vehicle Lights
Your vehicle’s exterior lights with clear lenses are vented to the atmosphere to release pressure as the air inside heats and cools.
When humid/moist air enters the headlight/tail light, the moisture may condense on the lens surface and appear as fogging or water
droplets. This is a normal condition and the moisture will evaporate when the lights are turned ON or when the temperature increases.
