WARNING All Wheel Drive Driving conditions that require All Wheel Drive place greater stress on the Kia Seltos than normal paved-road driving. When traveling on rough, slippery, muddy, snowy, or uneven surfaces, reduce your speed and be prepared for sudden changes in traction under the tires. If you are unsure whether the conditions are safe, stop the vehicle in a secure location and carefully decide the best way to continue.
