Road WarningHazard Warning FlasherThe hazard warning flasher serves as a warning to
other drivers to exercise extreme caution when
approaching, overtaking, or passing your vehicle. It
should be used whenever emergency repairs are being
made or when the vehicle is stopped near the edge of a
roadway.
Depress the flasher switch with the ignition switch in
any position. The flasher switch is located in the center
console. All turn signal lights will flash
simultaneously.
•The hazard warning flasher will operate whether
your vehicle is running or not.
The turn signals do not operate when the hazard
flasher is
ON
.
Care must be taken when using the hazard warning
flasher while the vehicle is being towed. Local
regulations may prohibit using it in this manner.
OverheatingIf your temperature gauge indicates overheating, if you
experience a loss of power, or if you hear a loud
knocking or pinging noise, the engine has probably
overheated. You should follow these procedures if you
experience any of these symptoms.
1. Turn the hazard warning flasher ON, then drive to
the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle; set
the automatic transaxle in P (Park), or shift the
manual transaxle to neutral and apply the parking
brake.

2. Make sure the air conditioner is off.
3. If coolant or steam is boiling out of the radiator,
stop the engine, then turn the ignition switch to the
ON position. Do not restart the engine. The radiator
cooling fan will automatically operate with the
ignition switch in the ON position. If the cooling
fan does not operate, call an Authorized Kia Dealer
for assistance.
If coolant is not boiling out, allow the engine to
idle and open the hood to permit the engine to cool
gradually.
If the temperature does not go down with the
engine idling, stop the engine and allow sufficient
time for it to cool.4. The coolant level should then be checked. If the
level in the reservoir is low, look for leaks at the
radiator hoses and connections, heater hoses and
connections, radiator, and water pump. If you find a
major leak or another problem that may have
caused the engine to overheat, do not operate the
engine until the problem has been corrected. Call
an Authorized Kia Dealer for assistance.
If you do not find a leak or other problem, carefully
add coolant to the reservoir.
If the engine frequently overheats, have the cooling
system checked and repaired.

WARNING - Removing
Radiator Cap
Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot
coolant and steam may blow out under
pressure. This could cause serious injury.

Emergency StartingJump StartingJump 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
on the next page. If in doubt, we strongly recommend
that you have a competent technician or towing service
jump start your vehicle.
Jump Starting Procedure
1. Make sure the booster battery is 12 volts and that
its negative terminal is grounded.
2. Check the electrolyte level of each of the battery
cells.
3. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not
allow the vehicles to touch.In Case Of An Emergency6-4
✽
NOTICE
Use only a 12volt jumper system. You can damage
a 12volt starting motor, ignition system, and other
electrical parts by using a 24-volt power supply
(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 battery produces hydrogen gas
which may explode if exposed to flame or
sparks.
 Do not attempt to jump start vehicle if the
discharged battery is frozen or if the
electrolyte level is low; the battery may
rupture or explode.

Fuse Replacement
If the electrical system does not work, first check the
driver’s side fuse panel.
1. Turn the ignition switch and all other switches off.
2. Pull the suspected fuse straight out. Use the
removal tool provided on the main fuse box in the
engine compartment. Refer to the fuse panel chart
on the fuse panel cover to identify the likely
problem fuse or electrical circuit.3. Check the removed fuse; replace if it is blown.
Spare fuses are provided in the passenger
compartment fuse panel, and in the engine
compartment fuse panel cover.
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 circuit you may not need for operating
the vehicle, such as the CIGAR or AUDIO fuse.In Case Of An Emergency6-8
WARNING -Fuse Replacement
 Never replace a fuse with anything but
another fuse of the same type and rating.
 A higher capacity fuse could cause damage
and possibly a fire.
 Never install a wire in place 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 damage the system.
