ary, metallic point (for example, the
engine lifting bracket) away from 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.
WARNING
Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable from
the negative terminal of the booster bat-
tery to the negative terminal of the dis-
charged 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 metalic point, far away from the bat-
tery.

the booster battery and let it run at
2,000 rpm, then start the engine of
the vehicle with the discharged bat-
tery.
If the cause of your battery discharging
is not apparent, you should have your
vehicle checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
