Jump starting procedure
CAUTION
- AGM battery
(if equipped)
• Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM)
batteries are maintenance-
free and we recommend that
the AGM batteries be serviced
by an authorised Kia dealer.
For charging your AGM bat-
tery, use only fully automatic
battery chargers that are spe-
cially developed for AGM bat-
teries.
• When replacing the AGM bat-
tery, we recommend that you
use parts for replacement
from an authorised Kia dealer.
• Do not open or remove the
cap on top of the battery. This
may cause leaks of internal
electrolyte that could result in
severe injury.
• If the AGM battery is recon-
nected or replaced, ISG func-
tion will not operate immedi-
ately.
