2005 KIA Rio battery

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.

4. Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads.
5. Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence
shown in the illustration on the previous page.
First, connect one end of a jumper cable to the
positive terminal (+) of the discharged battery ,
then the other end of the same cable to the positive
terminal (+) on the booster battery . Next,
connect one end of the other jumper cable to the
negative terminal (–) of the booster battery , then
the other end to a solid, stationary, metallic point
(for example, the engine lifting bracket) away
from the battery. Do not connect the jumper cable
to or near any part that moves when the engine is
cranked. Do not connect the jumper cable from the
negative terminal (–) of the booster battery to the
negative terminal (–) of the discharged battery. 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.6. Start the engine of the vehicle with the booster
battery and run it at 2,000 rpm. Then, start the
engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
If the cause of your battery discharging is not apparent
(for example, having left the lights on accidentally),
you should have your vehicle checked by an Authorized
Kia Dealer.
Push-StartingA vehicle equipped with an automatic transaxle cannot
be started by pushing. A vehicle equipped with a
manual transaxle should not be push-started because it
could damage the emission control system. Follow the
directions for jump starting.
In Case Of An Emergency6-6
CAUTION
Never tow a vehicle to start it. A sudden surge
forward when the engine starts could cause a
collision with the tow vehicle.

Electrical Circuit ProtectionFusesA vehicle’s electrical system is protected from
electrical overload damage by fuses.
This vehicle has two fuse panels, one located in the
driver’s side kick panel, the other in the engine
compartment near the battery. A fuse panel chart is
provided later in this section.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, accessories, or controls
do not work, check the appropriate circuit fuse. If a
fuse has blown, the element inside the fuse will be
melted.
Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same
rating.
If the replacement fuse blows out, this indicates an
electrical problem. Avoid using the system involved
and immediately consult an Authorized Kia Dealer.
Two kinds of fuses are used: standard for lower
amperage rating, and main for higher amperage
ratings.

6-13 Memory Fuse (If Equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a “Memory Fuse” to
prevent battery discharge if the vehicle is parked for
prolonged periods without being operated. Use the
following procedures before parking the vehicle for a
prolonged period.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and tail lights.
3. Open the main fuse box cover in the engine compartment
and pull up the “ROOM FUSE 15A” using the fuse
puller; push the fuse to the side. This will change the
MEMORY FUSE mode to prevent battery discharge.

CAUTION
•If the memory fuse is pulled up from the fuse
box housing, the radio and dome light will not
operate. After reinstalling the “Memory Fuse”,
the radio “anti-theft”code (Optional) must be
entered again and the preset radio stations
must be reselected.
Even though the memory fuse is pulled up, the
battery can still be discharged by operation of
the headlights or other electrical devices.
