Kia Rio 2021 Assembly instructions

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.

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 / LIFTGATE OPERATION*
5DR vehicles:
If the liftgate unlock button on the key fob is pressed momentarily when all doors are
locked, the liftgate will unlock. While unlocked, the liftgate on the 5DR vehicles can
be opened by pressing the Liftgate Release button under the handle and pulling the
liftgate 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.

• 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.
DRIVER ATTENTION WARNING (DAW)*7
Driver Attention Warning is designed to alert the driver if it detects inattentive driving practices and, in certain situations,
can give a warning signal to take a break from driving. There are three modes:
• Normal Sensitivity: DAW warns the driver of their inattentive driving practices.
• High Sensitivity: DAW warns the driver of their inattentive driving practices faster than Normal mode.
• Off: DAW is deactivated.
If DAW is activated, the DAW information Awill appear on the Instrument Cluster LCD when you select the Driving Assist
menu in User Settings. A message, “Consider taking a break,” Bappears on the LCD and a warning sounds to suggest the
driver to take a break when the driver’s attention level becomes low.

Reminders:
Maintaining glass cleanliness is crucial for Climate Control performance, and for preventing a foggy windshield.
Maintaining clean Cabin Air Filter is crucial for Climate System performance. Please refer to Owner’s Manual for normal
scheduled maintenance of 12 months and/or 7,500 miles (Owner’s Manual pages 8-31/32).
LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA)*7
LKA is designed to detect the lane markers on the road with a front view camera
on the windshield, and may assist the driver’s steering to potentially help keep the
vehicle in the lane. When turned on, the instrument cluster indicator will initially
illuminate white. It will remain white when the vehicle is traveling slower than 40 mph
or when the system does not detect the lane markers. When the system detects the
lane markers and can assist the steering, the LKA icon will illuminate green.
If the LKA detects that you are moving outside of your lane, the system may give
an audible warning and display Lane Departure Warning (LDW) on the instrument
cluster. If the vehicle continues to move outside of the lane, LKA may provide steering
inputs, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane.
LKA is the operating mode by default when the Lane Safety/LKA button* is
depressed to ON.
There are three available modes:
• Active LKA – Provides more frequent steering inputs than standard LKA.
• LKA – Guides driver to keep vehicle within lanes and provides steering inputs
when vehicle is about to deviate from the lane.
• LDW – Alerts driver when the system detects the vehicle leaving the lane.
In this mode the system will not provide steering inputs.
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
• The vehicle speed exceeds approximately 40 mph.
• LKA recognizes both sides of the lane markers the vehicle is traveling in.
• The vehicle is between the lane markers.

FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA)*8/ FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)*7
FCA is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in the roadway
through front view camera recognition and front radar signals to warn the driver that a
collision is imminent, and if necessary, temporarily apply emergency braking. Initially,
FCA provides FCW when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle, pedestrian, or
cyclist, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster.
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, FCA automatically applies the
brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to reduce the effects of a possible collision.
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.
This system is only a supplemental system and is not intended to, nor does it, replace the need for extreme care and
attention from the driver. The sensing range and objects detectable by the sensor are limited. Refer to the Owner’s Manual
for detailed information that may affect performance. Common causes for temporary disabled FCA/FCW operation include:
heavy snow/rain, direct sunlight, heavy fog, and mud/dirt on the front of the vehicle.

through the audio control unit screen while the vehicle is in Reverse.
The Rear View Monitor activates when the:
1. Ignition is ON.
2. Gear Shift Lever is in the R (Reverse) position.
Reminder: Always drive carefully and use caution when backing up. Maintaining the
cleanliness of the camera lens will optimize quality and performance during operation.
