VOICE RECOGNITION1AND BLUETOOTH®2
Using Voice Recognition
Improve Bluetooth®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 softly or too loudly.
• Open windows, weather (wind/rain), or an A/C fan
operating at higher speeds can interfere with VR
accuracy.
• 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®
• 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.
• During the pairing process, please make sure you
accept all requests for phonebook download and
future auto-connection on your phone.
• To pair a second phone or subsequent phones, reference
the manuals and guides supplied with your Rio as
steps vary by radio.
• 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 list of Bluetooth®devices
on the UVO display1and delete UVO from the list of
Bluetooth®devices on your phone, and re-pair.
• Ensure the phone has the Bluetooth®feature
activated.
• If some contacts are not downloading to the display,
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 display. Some contact categories
(MAIN, PAGER, OTHER) may not be supported. If the
number of contacts exceeds the maximum number
allowed on the display, 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 display).
• Phone operating systems change frequently and some
phones may have varying compatibility levels with the
Bluetooth®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®Tips
• Bluetooth®reception is affected by carrier coverage
and is dependent on the phone.
• If streaming audio through Bluetooth®from a device,
ensure the listening volume on the device is turned up.

interface and voice commands. You can even access your phone through your steering wheel controls.
To connect Android Auto, visit https://youtu.be/QPV7y06-RJ4.

SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION
Satellite radio reception requires a 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.
TRUNK / TAILGATE OPERATION*
5DR vehicles:
If the tailgate unlock button on the key fob is pressed momentarily when all doors are
locked, the tailgate will unlock. While unlocked, the tailgate on the 5DR vehicles can
be opened by pressing the Tailgate Release button under the handle and pulling the
tailgate up by the handle.
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 will automatically open.
TILT STEERING WHEEL5
To adjust the Steering Wheel:
• Push down on the Lock-Release Lever A.
• Adjust the Steering Wheel to the desired angle B.
• Pull up the Lock-Release Lever Ato 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.
LIGHTING STALK OPERATION
AOFF position
BAuto light position
CParking light position
DHeadlight position

lights, turn the knob at the end of the control lever to one of the above positions.
When the light switch is in the parking light position (C), the tail, license and instrument
panel lights will turn ON.

WINDSHIELD DEFOGGING
Windshield fogging is caused by moisture in the air condensing on the cold glass.
To help reduce window fogging:
• Keep the inside of the glass as clean as possible.
• Utilize the Defrost Mode which activates the A/C and opens the Fresh Air Vent A.
• Adjust the Temperature Control to the desired temperature B.
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.
USB PORT(S) 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.
POWER OUTLET
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.

The HAC automatically activates whether the ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT activate when the ESC has malfunctioned.
Reminders:
• The HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position.
• HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes while the vehicle is stopped on an incline.
• In the event of HAC system malfunction, see an authorized Kia dealer for service.

FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA)*8/ FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)*8
The FCA and FCW systems are designed to detect slowing or stopped traffic ahead and,
under certain conditions, can apply the brakes in order to help avoid or reduce the effects of a
potential collision. Initially, FCW will provide a warning when it detects a potential collision with
a vehicle in front, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster A.
Adjust the alert settings (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings. To turn the FCA/FCW
systems off, go to User Settings to turn it off.
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, FCA automatically applies the
brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to avoid or reduce the effects of a possible
collision. FCA can be turned ON in the User Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display.
The FCA/FCW systems will become active when the:
• Engine Start/Stop button is ON.
• Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph.
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON.
