Memory fuse
Your 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 proce-
dures before parking the vehicle for
prolonged period.1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and tail
lights.
3. Open the main fuse box cover in
engine compartment and pull up
the “AUDIO FUSE 20A”. This will
change the memory fuse mode to
prevent battery discharge.IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY6-12
S2BLA606B
CAUTION
• If the memory fuse is pulled
up from the fuse box housing,
the key reminder warning
chime, door ajar warning
chime and light, and clock will
not operate. The clock must
be reset.
 Even though the memory fuse
is pulled up, the battery can
still be discharged by opera-
tion of the headlights or other
electrical devices.

8. Securely tighten the valve of the
jack. Move the jack handle up and
down until the top of the jack con-
tacts the proper point and takes on
a slight load.
Raise the vehicle until the tire just
clears the ground (approximately
1.2 in (30 mm)). Never raise the
wheel higher. Before removing the
wheel lug nuts, make sure the
vehicle is stable and that there is
no chance for it to slip or move.9. Remove the wheel lug nuts by
turning them counterclockwise,
then remove the wheel.

WARNING - Jack Location
To reduce the possibility of
injury, be sure to use only the
jack provided with the vehicle
and in the correct jack position;
never use any other part of the
vehicle for jack support.

1. Park the vehicle on level ground
and firmly set the parking brake.
2. Allow the engine to idle for about 2
minutes.
3. Depress the brake pedal and move
the shift lever slowly through all
ranges then set it in P (Park).
4. With the engine still idling, pull out
the dipstick, wipe it clean and rein-
sert it fully.
5. Pull out the dipstick again and
check the fluid level.5. Pull out the dipstick again and
check the fluid level.
If the fluid has been warmed to nor-
mal operating temperature of approx-
imately 167°F (75°C), the fluid level
should be between the 2 notches
marked 75°C.MAINTENANCE7-18

NOTICEThe notch on the 25°C scale is for

NOTICENew automatic transaxle fluid
should be red. The red dye is added
so the assembly plant can identify it
as automatic transaxle fluid and
distinguishes it from engine oil or
antifreeze. The red dye, which is not
an indicator of fluid quality, is not
permanent. As the vehicle is driven,
the automatic transaxle fluid will
begin to look darker. The color may
eventually appear light brown.
Therefore, have an Authorized Kia
dealer change the automatic
transaxle fluid according to the
Scheduled Maintenance at the
beginning of this section.

WARNING
- Battery
dangers
Always read the follow-
ing instructions carefully
when handling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes
and all other flames or
sparks away from the
battery.
Hydrogen, which is a
highly combustible gas,
is always present in bat-
tery cells and may
explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of the
reach of children
because batteries con-
tain highly corrosive
SULFURIC ACID. Do not
allow battery acid to
contact your skin, eyes,
clothing or paint finish.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If any electrolyte gets
into your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean
water for at least 15 min-
utes and get immediate
medical attention. If pos-
sible, continue to apply
water with a sponge or
cloth until medical atten-
tion is received.
If electrolyte gets on
your skin, thoroughly
wash the contacted area.
If you feel a pain or a
burning sensation, get
medical attention imme-
diately.
Wear eye protection
when charging or work-
ing near a battery.
Always provide ventila-
tion when working in an
enclosed space.
(Continued)
(Continued)
When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak, resulting in per-
sonal 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 compo-
nents with the engine running
or the ignition switched on.
BL-ENG (CAN)-7.qxd 7/28/05 5:58 PM Page 23

Maintenance
For optimal battery performance:
Keep the battery securely mounted.
Keep the battery top clean and dry.
Keep the terminals and connections
clean, tight, and coated with petro-
leum jelly or terminal grease.Rinse any spilled electrolyte from
the battery immediately with a solu-
tion of water and baking soda.
If the vehicle is not going to be used
for an extended time, disconnect
the battery cables.
Items to be reset after the battery
has been replaced or the battery
cables have been disconnected
and reinstalled.

Clock (See page 4-67)
Multi-Meter (See page 4-52)
Climate control system (See pages
4-71 and 4-79)Battery Recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged
in a short time (because, for exam-
ple, 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.MAINTENANCE7-24

Wheel Replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for
any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width
and offset.
MAINTENANCE
7-29
WARNING
- Tire Inflation
Driving on worn-out tires or
mis-matched tires is very haz-
ardous. Worn-out tires reduce
braking effectiveness, steer-
ing accuracy, and traction.
You are also more likely to
have a blowout on a worn-out
tire. Replace any tire showing
signs of being worn out.
Your vehicle is equipped with
tires designed to provide for
safe ride and handling capa-
bility. Do not use a size and
type of tire and wheel that is
different from the one that is
originally installed on your
vehicle. It can affect the safety
and performance of your vehi-
cle, which could lead to han-
dling failure or rollover and
serious injury.
(Continued)
(Continued)
When replacing the tires, be
sure to equip all four tires with
the tire and wheel of the same
size, type, tread, brand and
load-carrying capacity. If you
nevertheless decide to equip
your vehicle with any
tire/wheel combination not
recommended by Kia for off
road driving, you should not
use these tires for highway
driving.
The use of any other tire size
or type may seriously affect
ride, handling, ground clear-
ance, tire clearance, and
speedometer calibration.
Replace all four tires at the
same time. Replacing tires in
part can seriously affect your
vehicle’s handling.
WARNING
A wheel that is not the correct
size may adversely affect wheel
and bearing life, braking and
stopping abilities, handling
characteristics, ground clear-
ance, body-to-tire clearance,
snow chain clearance,
speedometer calibration, head-
light aim and bumper height.

Tire Size Designation
A tire’s sidewall is marked with a tire
size designation. You will need this
information when selecting replace-
ment tires for your car. The following
explains what the letters and num-
bers
in the tire size designation mean.
Example tire size designation:
P245/70R16 106H (these numbers
are provided as an example only;
your tire size designator could vary
depending on your vehicle.)
P– Applicable vehicle type (tires
marked with the prefix “P’’are
intended for use on passenger
cars or light trucks; however, not
all tires have this marking).
245– Tire width in millimeters.
70 – Aspect ratio. The tire’s section
height as a percentage of its
width.
R – Tire construction code (Radial).
16– Rim diameter in inches.106– Load Index, a numerical code
associated with the maximum
load the tire can carry.
H– Speed Rating Symbol. See the
speed rating chart in this section
for additional information.
Wheel Size Designation
Wheels are also marked with impor-
tant information that you need if you
ever have to replace one. The follow-
ing explains what the letters and
numbers in the wheel size designa-
tion mean.
Example wheel size designation:
7.0JJ x 16
7.0– Rim width in inches.
J– Rim contour designation.
16– Rim diameter in inches.Tire Speed Ratings
The chart below shows many of the
different speed ratings currently
being used for passenger car and
light truck tires. The speed rating
symbol is part of the tire size desig-
nation on the sidewall of the tire. This
symbol corresponds to that tire’s
designed maximum safe operating
speed.MAINTENANCE7-30
