Power connectorYour vehicle is equipped with a
power connector to prevent battery
discharge if your vehicle is parked
without being operated for prolonged
periods. Use the following proce-
dures before parking the vehicle for
prolonged period. 1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and tail
lights.
3. Open the driver-side knee bolster cover and pull up the
“POWER/CONN”.
✽ ✽NOTICE• If the power connector is pulled up
from the fuse panel, the warning
chime, AV system, clock and
intetrior lamps, etc., will not oper-
ate. Some items must be reset after
replacement. (Refer to “Items to
be reset···.” on page 7-33)
• Even though the power connector is pulled up, the battery can still
be discharged by operation of the
headlights or other electrical
devices.

For best battery service : Keep the battery securely mount-
ed.
Keep the battery top clean and dry.
Keep the terminals and connec-
tions clean, tight, and coated with
petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
Rinse any spilled electrolyte from
the battery immediately with a
solution of water and baking soda.
If the vehicle is not going to be
used for an extended time, discon-
nect the battery cables.
Battery recharging Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged
in a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior lights
were left on while the vehicle was
not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.

(Continued)
When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure on
the case may cause battery
acid to leak, resulting in per-
sonal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
Never attempt to charge the
battery when the battery
cables are connected.
The electrical ignition system
works with high voltage.
Never touch these compo-
nents with the engine running
or the ignition switched on.

BULB REPLACEMENT Use only the bulbs of the specifiedwattage.
Headlight bulb replacement ✽ ✽ NOTICEAfter heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature difference
between the lamp inside and outside.
This is similar to the condensation on
your windows inside your vehicle
during the rain and doesn’t indicate
a problem with your vehicle. If the
water leaks into the lamp bulb cir-
cuitry, have the vehicle checked by
an Authorized Kia Dealer.
WARNING
- Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light,
firmly apply the parking brake
and ensure that the ignition
switch is turned to the “LOCK”
position to avoid sudden move-
ment of the vehicle and burning
your fingers or receiving an
electric shock.
CAUTION
If you don’ t have necessary
tools, the correct bulbs and the expertise, consult anAuthorized Kia Dealer. In manycases, it is difficult to replacevehicle light bulbs becauseother parts of the vehicle mustbe removed before you can getthe bulb. Especially if you mustremove the front bumper toreplace the light bulbs in thefront of the vehicle. This mayresult in damage to the vehicle.

flying pieces of glass if bro-
ken.
Always handle them carefully,
and avoid scratches and abra-
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid
contact with liquids. Never
touch the glass with bare
hands. Residual oil may cause
the bulb to overheat and burst
