Push-Starting - Kia XCeed 2020 Owner's Manual

What to do in an emergency
Jump starting procedure
1. Make sure the booster battery
is 12-volt and that its negative
terminal is grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in
another vehicle, do not allow the
vehicles come in contact.
3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical
loads.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the
exact sequence shown in the
illustration. First connect one end
of a jumper cable to the positive
terminal of the discharged battery
(1), then connect the other end
to the positive terminal on the
booster battery (2).
Proceed to connect one end of
the other jumper cable to the
negative terminal of the booster
battery (3), then the other end to
a solid, stationary, metallic point
(for example, the engine lifting
bracket) away from the battery
(4). Do not connect it to or near
any part that moves when the
engine is cranked.
Do not allow the jumper cables
to contact anything except the
correct battery terminals or
the correct ground. Do not lean
over the battery when making
connections.
CAUTION
Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable
from the negative terminal of the
booster battery to the negative
terminal of the discharged battery.
This can cause the discharged
battery to overheat and crack,
releasing battery acid. Make sure
to connect one end of the jumper
cable to the negative terminal of the
booster battery, and the other end
to a metallic point, far away from
the battery.
5. Start the engine of the vehicle
with the booster battery and let
it run at 2,000 rpm, then start
the engine of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
If the cause of your battery
discharging is not apparent, have the
system checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
