SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR
ELECTRIC VEHICLE
WARNING
• If you tow the vehicle whilst
the front wheels are touching
the ground, the vehicle motor
may generate electricity and
the motor components may be
damaged or a fire may occur.
• When a vehicle fire occurs
due to the battery, there is a
risk of a second fire. Contact
your local fire emergency
responders when towing the
vehicle.

Other Precautions for
Electric Vehicle
• When you paint or apply heat
treatment to the vehicle as a result
of an accident, the performance of
the high voltage battery can be
reduced.
If heat treatment is required, have
the vehicle serviced by a profes-
sional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to contact an authorised
OSK3068018L
Kia dealer/service partner.
• When you clean the motor com-
partment, do not use high pres-
sure water to wash. This may
cause an electric shock due to a
discharge in high voltage electrici-
ty, or damage the vehicle's electric
system.
• Do not use, remodel, or install
non-genuine parts. This may dam-
age the electric power system.
Service Interlock Connector
OSKEVQ018014L
In case of emergency, cut the service
interlock connector cable to isolate
the high voltage of the battery.
