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 authorized Kia dealer. For
charging your AGM battery,
use only fully automatic bat-
tery chargers that are specially
developed for AGM batteries.
• When replacing the AGM bat-
tery, we recommend that you
use parts for replacement
from an authorized 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 reconnect-
ed or replaced, ISG function
will not operate immediately.

If you want to use the ISG
function, the battery sensor
needs to be calibrated for
approximately 4 hours with
the ignition off.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
If the battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a battery
of another vehicle and two jumper
cables. Only use jumper cables with
fully insulated clamp handles.
To prevent personal injury or dam-
age to both vehicles, adhere strictly
to the following procedure.
1. Make sure the booster battery is
12-volt and that its negative termi-
nal is grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, do not allow the vehicles
to touch.
3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical
loads.
