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.
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.

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.
✻
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).

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.
Four (4) spare fuses are provided 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 radio or clock (Room) fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the fuses
are OK, check the fuse box in the engine
compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must
be replaced.
1. Turn the ignition switch and all other
switches OFF.
2. Remove the fuse box cover by
turning the plastic knob located in the
cover counterclockwise until the
cover can be removed.
3. Check the fuses. If one is blown,
replace it with a new one of the same
rating.

As a general rule, towed vehicles should
be pulled with the driving wheels off the
ground. If excessive damage or other
conditions prevent towing the vehicle
with the driving wheels off the ground,
use wheel dollies.
With either an automatic or manual
transaxle:
1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC
position;
2. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral);
3. Release the parking brake.

✻
NOTICE
Do not tow the vehicle backward
with the front wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the transaxle.✻
NOTICE
Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.

CAUTION
Do not use the hooks under the
front or rear of the vehicle for
towing purposes. These hooks are
designed ONLY for transport
tiedown. If the tie-dwn hooks are
used for towing, the front/rear
bumper will be damaged and the
vehicle may break free from the
tow vehicle.

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.
 Vehicle equipped with automatic
transaxle should not exceed 45km/h
(28 mph) and should not be towed
more than 80km (50 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 steering 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.
TIPS FOR TOWING A STUCK
VEHICLEThe following methods are effective
when your vehicle is stuck in mud, sand
or similar substances that prevent 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.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
6-18
✻
NOTICE
To prevent internal damage to the
transaxle, never tow your vehicle
from the rear (backwards) with all
four tires in contact with the
surface.

WARNING - Loose
Clothing/Jewelry
Working under the hood with
the engine running is
dangerous. It is even more
dangerous when you wear
jewelry, long hair or loose
clothing. These can become
entangled in moving parts and
result in injury. Therefore, if you
must run the engine while
working under the hood, make
certain that you pull hair back,
remove all jewelry (especially
rings, bracelets, watches, and
necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose
clothing before getting near the
engine or cooling fans.
WARNING - Engine
Cooling Fans
Because your engine cooling
fans are electrically controlled,
they will run if the ignition
switch is on, even if the engine
is not running. This could cause
serious injury. To prevent this,
be sure the ignition is off, unless
you must run the engine while
performing maintenance or an
inspection.

BATTERY MAINTENANCEFor best battery service:
• Keep the battery securely mounted.
• Keep the battery top clean and dry.
• Keep the terminals and connections
clean, tight, and coated with
petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
• Immediately rinse any spilled
electrolyte from the battery with a
solution of water and baking soda.
• If the vehicle is not going to be used
for an extended period of time,
disconnect the battery cables.
BATTERY RECHARGINGYour vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
• If the battery becomes discharged in
a short time (headlights or interior
lights were left on while the vehicle
was not in use), recharge it by slow
(trickle) charging 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.
MAINTENANCE

(Continued)
Keep batteries out of the
reach of children
because batteries
contain highly corrosive
SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow
battery acid to contact your skin,
eyes, clothing or paint finish.
Wear eye protection
when charging or
working near a battery.
Always provide ventilation when
working in an enclosed space.
When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause
battery acid to leak, resulting
in personal 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 components with
the engine running or the
ignition switched on.
WARNING - Recharging
Battery
When recharging the battery,
observe the following
precautions:
The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed
in an area with good
ventilation.
Do not allow cigarettes,
sparks, or flame near the
battery.
