2009 Kia Magentis Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare
from other driver's headlights.
•  If your  tires are not  in good  condition,
making a quick  stop on wet  pavement
can cause a  skid and possibly  lead to
an accident.  Be sure  your tires are  in
good shape.
•  Turn on your headlights to make it eas-
ier for others to see you.
•  Driving too  fast through  large puddles
can affect  your brakes. If you  must go
through  puddles, try  to  drive  through
them slowly.
•  If  you  believe  you  may   have  gotten
your  brakes   wet,  apply  them   lightly
while driving until normal braking oper-
ation returns.
Keep your  headlights clean and  prop-
erly  aimed  on vehicles  not  equipped
with  the   automatic  headlight  aiming
feature.   Dirty   or  improperly    aimed
headlights will make it much more diffi-
cult to see at night.
Avoid staring directly  at the headlights
of  oncoming  vehicles.  You  could   be
temporarily  blinded,   and  it  will   take
several seconds for your  eyes to read-
just to the darkness.

Driving in the rain
Rain  and  wet  roads  can  make  driving
dangerous,  especially if  you’re  not pre-
E110600AUN
pared for the slick  pavement. Here are a     Driving in flooded areas
few things to consider when driving in the
rain:
Avoid   driving   through   flooded   areas
unless you are sure the water is no high-
er  than  the  bottom  of  the  wheel  hub.
Drive  through  any   water  slowly.  Allow
adequate   stopping   distance   because
brake performance may be affected.
After   driving   through   water,   dry   the
brakes  by gently  applying them  several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
A heavy  rainfall will  make it  harder to
see  and   will  increase   the   distance
needed  to stop  your vehicle,  so  slow
down.
Keep  your   windshield  wiping  equip-
ment  in   good  shape.  Replace   your
windshield   wiper  blades   when  they
show  signs   of  streaking  or   missing
areas on the windshield.
