DISCLAIMERS
Driving while distracted is dangerous and should be avoided. Drivers should remain attentive to driving
and always exercise caution when using the steering-wheel-mounted controls while driving.
Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that may lead to an accident, severe

vehicle, and use of any handheld devices, other equipment or vehicle systems which take the driver’s
eyes, attention and focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or that are not permissible by law

Only use Apple CarPlay when conditions allow you to do so safely. Some laws prohibit the operation
of electronic devices while operating a vehicle. Launch applications and perform other operations on
electronic devices only when the vehicle is safely parked. Certain functionalities may be locked while
vehicle is operational. Depending on use, Apple CarPlay can share certain user and vehicle information
(e.g., vehicle location, speed and other operating conditions) with the connected iPhone. See Apple’s
privacy policy or contact Apple Inc. at www.apple.com for details regarding Apple’s use and handling of

vehicle integration is provided “as is,” and Kia cannot guarantee Apple CarPlay operability or functionality
