What to do in an emergency
Keep all flames or sparks away from the
battery. The battery produces hydrogen
gas which will explode if exposed to
flame or sparks.
Jump-starting
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 to
come in contact.
3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical
loads.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the
exact sequence shown in the illustra-
tion. 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 of 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, station-
ary, metallic point away from the bat-
tery (4).
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.
5. Start vehicle with the booster battery
and let it run, then start the vehicle
with the discharged battery.
If the cause of your battery discharging
is not apparent, you should have your
vehicle checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
NOTICE
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 bat-
tery.
Push-starting
Your vehicle equipped with reduction
gear should not be push-started.
WARNING
Tow Starting Vehicle
Never tow a vehicle to start it.
When the vehicle starts, the vehicle can
suddenly surge forward and could cause
