EMERGENCY STARTING
Jump starting
Jump starting can be dangerous if
done incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid
harm to yourself or damage to your
vehicle or battery, follow the jump
starting procedures listed on page
6-6. If in doubt, we strongly recom-
mend that you have a competent
technician or towing service jump
start your vehicle.
✽✽ NOTICE
Use only a 12-volt jumper system.
You can damage a 12-volt starting
motor, ignition system, and other
electrical parts beyond repair by use
of a 24-volt power supply (either two
12-volt batteries in series or a 24-
volt motor generator set).

WARNING - Battery
• Keep all flames or sparks away from the battery. The bat-
tery produces hydrogen gas
which may explode if exposedto flame or sparks.
Do not attempt to jump start the vehicle if the discharged
battery is frozen or if the elec-
trolyte level is low; the battery
may rupture or explode.
WARNING - Battery
Never attempt to check the elec-
trolyte level of the battery as
this may cause the battery to
rupture or explode causing seri-
ous injury.

Fuse replacement
Driver-side knee bolster
1. Turn the ignition switch and allother switches off.
2. Pull the suspected fuse straight out. Use the removal tool provided
on the cover.
3. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.
Spare fuses are provided in the
fuse panel in engine compart-ment.
4. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly
in the clips.
If it fits loosely, consult an Authorized
Kia Dealer.
If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of the same rating from a circuityou may not need for operating thevehicle, such as the audio fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the
fuses are OK, check the fuse block in
the engine compartment. If a fuse is
blown, it must be replaced.

WARNING - Fuse replace-
ment
Never replace a fuse with any- thing but another fuse of the same rating.
A higher capacity fuse could cause damage through over-
heating and possibly a fire.
Never install a wire instead of the proper fuse - even as a
temporary repair. It may cause
extensive wiring damage and
possibly a fire.
Do not use a screwdriver or any other metal object to
remove fuses because it may
cause a short circuit and dam-
age the system.

When your vehicle is being
towed by another vehicle
other than a tow truck (in case
of an emergency)
Turn the ignition switch to ACC so
the steering wheel isn’t locked.
Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking bake.
Vehicles equipped with automatic transaxles should not exceed 45 km/h (28 mph) and should not be
towed more than 80 km (50 miles).
Vehicles equipped with manual transaxle should not be towed in
excess of 88 km/h (55 mph) and
should not be towed more than645 km (400 miles). Press the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will
have reduced brake performance.
More steering effort will be required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake
performance will be reduced. Stop
often and let the brakes cool off.
✽✽ NOTICE
To prevent internal damage to the
transaxle, never tow your vehicle
from the rear (backwards) with all
four tires in contact with the sur-face.
Tips for towing a stuck vehicle
The following methods are effective
when your vehicle is stuck in mud,sand or similar substances that pre-
vent the vehicle from being driven
out under its own power.
Remove the soil and sand, etc. from the front and the back of the
tires.
Place a stone or wood under the tires.

FUEL FILTER (FOR DIESEL)
The fuel filter for diesel engine plays
an important role of separating water
from fuel and accumulating the waterin its bottom.
If water accumulates in the fuel filter,
the warning light comes on when the
ignition key is in the “ON” position.
Draining water from the fuel filter
Place a water tray under the fuel fil-ter.
Loosen the drain plug and drain water.
After water is drained, securely tighten the drain plug.
After starting the engine, check to make certain the fuel filter warning
light is off.

CAUTION
If the water accumulated in the
fuel filter is not drained at prop-er times, damages to the majorparts such as the fuel system can be caused by water perme-ation in the fuel filter.
