Jump starting procedure
1. Make sure the booster battery is
12-volt and that its negative termi-
nal is grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not allow the vehiclesto touch.
3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the pre-
vious illustration. First connect one
end of a jumper cable to the posi-
tive terminal of the discharged bat-
tery ( ➀), then connect the other
end to the positive terminal on the
booster battery ( ➁). Proceed to
connect one end of the other
jumper cable to the negative ter-
minal of the booster battery ( ➂),
then the other end to a solid, sta-
tionary, metallic point (for exam-
ple, the engine lifting bracket)
away from the battery ( ➃). Do not
connect it 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 dis-
charged battery. Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the cor-
rect battery terminals or the cor-
rect ground. Do not lean over the
battery when making connections.
5. Start the engine of the vehicle with the booster battery and let it run at
2,000 rpm, then start the engine of
the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
If the cause of your battery discharg-
ing is not apparent, you should haveyour vehicle checked by anAuthorized Kia Dealer.
Refer to illustration on page 6-5.
Push-starting
Your manual transaxle-equipped
vehicle should not be push-startedbecause it might damage the emis-sion control system.
Vehicles equipped with automatic
transaxle cannot be push-started.
Follow the directions in this section
for jump-starting.

In case of an emergency
ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Fuses
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has two fuse panels,
one located in the driver's side knee
bolster, the other in the engine com-
partment near the battery. If any of your vehicle’s lights, acces-
sories, or controls do not work, check
the appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse
has blown, the element inside thefuse will be melted.
If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver’s sidefuse panel.
Always replace a blown fuse with
one of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and imme-
diately consult an Authorized Kia
Dealer.
Two kinds of fuses are used: stan-
dard for lower amperage rating and main for higher amperage ratings.

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.

Engine compartment
1. Turn the ignition switch and allother switches off.
2. Remove the fuse box cover by pressing the taps and pulling up.
3. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.

in the clips.
If it fits loosely, consult an Authorized
Kia Dealer.
✽✽ NOTICE
After checking the fuse box in the
engine compartment, securely
install the fuse box cover. If not,
electrical failures may occur from
water leaking in.

Notes on the safe use of the TireMobilityKit
 Park your car at the side of the
road so that you can work with the
TireMobilityKit away from moving
traffic. Place your warning triangle
in a prominent place to make pass-
ing vehicles aware of your location.
 To be sure your vehicle won't move, even when your're on fairly
level ground, always set your park-
ing brake.
 Only use the TireMobilityKit for sealing/inflation passenger car
tires. Do not use on motorcycles,
bicycles or any other type of tires.
 Do not remove any foreign objects - such as nails or screws - that
have penetrated the tire.  Before using the TireMobilityKit
read the precautionary advice
printed on the sealant bottle!
 Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise
operating the compressor may
eventually drain the car battery.
 Never leave the TireMobilityKit unattended while it is being used.
 Do not leave the compressor run- ning for more than 10 min. at a time
or it may overheat.
 Do not use the TireMobilityKit if the ambient temperature is below -
30°C / -20°F.
 Do not use the sealing compound after its expiration date which can
be found on the label of the bottle.
 Keep away from children.CAUTION
Do not use the TireMobilityKit if the tire was severely damagedby driving with insufficient airpressure (e.g. if the tire has bulges, cuts, cracks or similardefects). Only seal puncturedareas located well within the tread region of the tire. Damageto the sidewall may not besealed for safety reasons.
