6Memory fuseYour vehicle is equipped with a memory
fuse to prevent battery discharge if your
vehicle is parked without being operated
for prolonged periods. Use the following
procedures before parking the vehicle for
prolonged period.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and tail lights.
3. Open the driver-side knee bolster
cover and pull up the “MULT B/UP 10A
/ AUDIO 15A”.
✽ ✽NOTICE• If the memory fuse is pulled up from
the fuse panel, the warning chime,
audio, clock and interior lamps, etc.,
will not operate. Some items must be
reset after replacement.
 Even though the memory fuse is pulled up, the battery can still be dis-
charged by operation of the head-
lights or other electrical devices.
If emergency towing is necessary, we
recommend having it done by an author-
ized Kia dealer or a commercial tow-truck
service. Proper lifting and towing proce-
dures are necessary to prevent damage
to the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or
flatbed equipment is recommended.
For trailer towing guidelines information,
refer to section 5 “Driving Tips”.

3. Install the towing hook by turning itclockwise into the hole until it is fully
secured (2).
4. Remove the towing hook and install the cover after use.
Towing with a vehicle other than
a tow truck If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by an authorized Kia
dealer or a commercial tow truck service. If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be tem-
porarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing hook
under the front or rear of the vehicle. Use
extreme caution when towing the vehicle.
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer it
and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done only
on hard-surfaced roads for a short dis-
tance and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
 Do not use the tow hooks to pull a
vehicle out of mud, sand or other con-
ditions from which the vehicle cannot
be driven out under its own power.
 Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the vehicle doing the towing.
 The drivers of both vehicles should com- municate with each other frequently.
✽ ✽ NOTICE Attach a towing strap to the tow hook.
 Using a portion of the vehicle other
than the tow hooks for towing may
damage the body of your vehicle.
 Use only a cable or chain specifically intended for use in towing vehicles.
Securely fasten the cable or chain to
the towing hook provided.

In case of an emergency
✽
✽NOTICETo prevent internal damage to the
transaxle, never tow your vehicle from
the rear (backwards) with all four tires
in contact with the surface. 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. The spare tire, jack, jack handle, front
towing hook, wheel lug nut wrench are
stored in the luggage compartment.
Move the carpeting out of the way to
reach this equipment.
Removing the spare tire Turn the tire hold-down wing bolt coun-
terclockwise.
Store the tire in the reverse order of
removal.
To prevent the spare tire and tools from
“rattling” while the vehicle is in motion,
store them properly.

7. Loosen the wheel lug nuts counter-clockwise one turn each, but do not
remove any nut until the tire has been
raised off the ground. 8. Place the jack at the front or rear jack-
ing position closest to the tire you are
changing. Place the jack at the desig-
nated locations under the frame. The
jacking positions are plates welded to
the frame with two tabs and a raised
dot to index with the jack. 9. Insert the jack handle into the jack and
turn it clockwise, raising the vehicle
until the tire just clears the ground.
This measurement is approximately
30 mm (1.2 in). Before removing the
wheel lug nuts, make sure the vehicle
is stable and that there is no chance
for movement or slippage.
10. Remove the wheel lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise, then remove
the wheel.
11. Mount the spare tire into position and install the wheel lug nuts with the
beveled edge inward.

be sure to use only the jack provid-
ed with the vehicle and in the cor-
rect jack position; never use any
other part of the vehicle for jack
support.

Maintenance
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM The high-pressure cooling system has a
reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze
coolant. The reservoir is filled at the fac-
tory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at the
beginning of the winter season, and
before traveling to a colder climate.Checking the coolant level
Check the condition and connections of
all cooling system hoses and heater
hoses. Replace any swollen or deterio-
rated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between F and L marks on the side of the
coolant reservoir when the engine is
cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
specified coolant to provide protection
against freezing and corrosion. Bring the
level to F, but do not overfill. If frequent
additions are required, see an authorized
Kia dealer for a cooling system inspec-
tion.
WARNING
- Removingradiator cap
 Never attempt to remove the radi-
ator cap while the engine is oper-
ating or hot. Doing so might lead
to cooling system and engine
damage and could result in seri-
ous personal injury from escap-
ing hot coolant or steam.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Turn the engine off and wait untilit cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the radiator cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it, and
turn it counterclockwise slowly to
the first stop. Step back while the
pressure is released from the
cooling system. When you are
sure all the pressure has been
released, press down on the cap,
using a thick towel, and continue
turning counterclockwise to
remove it.
 Even if the engine is not operat- ing, do not remove the radiator
cap or the drain plug while the
engine and radiator are hot. Hot
coolant and steam may still blow
out under pressure, causing seri-
ous injury.

Maintenance22
7For best battery service : Keep the battery securely mounted.
 Keep the top of the battery clean and
dry.
 Keep the terminals and connections clean, tight, and coated with petroleum
jelly or terminal grease.
 Rinse any spilled electrolyte from the battery immediately with a solution of
water and baking soda.
 If the vehicle is not going to be used for an extended time, disconnect the bat-
tery cables.
Battery recharging Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
 If the battery becomes discharged in ashort time (because, for example, the
headlights or interior lights were left on
while the vehicle was not in use),
recharge it by slow charging (trickle)
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.
Items to be reset after the battery has
been discharged or the battery has
been disconnected.
