Driving your vehicle
25
Be sure the exhaust system does
not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked
whenever the vehicle is raised to change
the oil or for any other purpose. If you
hear a change in the sound of the
exhaust or if you drive over something
that strikes the underneath side of the
car, have the exhaust system checked as
soon as possible by an authorized Kia
dealer.
WARNING - Engine
exhaust
Do not inhale exhaust fumes or
leave your engine running in a
enclosed area for a prolonged time.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless
gas that can cause unconscious-
ness and death by asphyxiation.
WARNING - Open
trunk
Do not drive with the trunk open.
Poisonous exhaust gases can enter
the passenger compartment
If you must drive with the trunk
open proceed as follows:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at"Fresh", the air flow control at
"Floor" or "Face" and the fan at
the highest speed.

What to do in an emergency
66
1. Make sure the booster battery is 12-volt and that its negative terminal is
grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another vehi- cle, do not allow the vehicles to touch.
3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the illustration.
First connect one end of a jumper
cable to the positive terminal of the dis-
charged battery (1), then connect the
other end to the positive terminal on
the booster battery (2).
Proceed to connect one end of the
other jumper cable to the negative ter-
minal of the booster battery (3), then
the other end to a solid, stationary,
metallic point (for example, trunk/latch)
away from the battery (4). Do not con-
nect it to or near any part that moves
when the engine is cranked.
Do not allow the jumper cables to con-
tact anything except the correct battery
terminals or the correct 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 vehi-
cle with the discharged battery.
If the cause of your battery discharging isnot apparent, you should have your vehi-cle checked by an authorized Kia dealer. Push-starting
Your manual transaxle-equipped vehicle
should not be push-started because it
might damage the emission control sys-
tem.
Vehicles equipped with automatic
transaxle cannot be push-started.
Follow the directions in this section for
jump-starting.CAUTION - Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable
from the negative terminal of thebooster battery to the negative ter-minal of the discharged battery.This can cause the discharged bat- tery to overheat and crack, releas-ing battery acid.
WARNING - Tow starting
vehicle
Never tow a vehicle to start it
because the sudden surge forward
when the engine starts could cause
a collision with the tow vehicle.

APPEARANCE CARE
Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warning and
caution statements that appear on the
label.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish from
rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughly
and frequently at least once a month with
lukewarm or cold water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road driv-
ing, you should wash it after each off-
road trip. Pay special attention to the
removal of any accumulation of salt, dirt,
mud, and other foreign materials. Make
sure the drain holes in the lower edges of
the doors and rocker panels are kept
clear and clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar deposits
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on
painted surfaces, may be used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-
oughly with lukewarm or cold water. Do
not allow soap to dry on the finish.
After washing the vehicle, test the brakes
while driving slowly to see if they have
been affected by water. If braking per-
formance is impaired, dry the brakes by
applying them lightly while maintaining a
slow forward speed.WARNING
Do not wash the engine compart-
ment and trunk with water. The
hybrid system is located in the
engine compartment and trunk. If
water enters the engine or hybrid
battery in the trunk, electric shocks
or burns may result in serious
injury or death.

THE COMPONENTS OF HYBRID VEHICLE (CONT.)
WARNING
As with all batteries, avoid fluid
contact with the Hybrid battery. If
the battery is damaged and if elec-
trolyte comes in contact with your
body, clothes or eyes, immediately
flush with a large quantity of fresh
water.
WARNING
Do not use an after-market battery
charger to charge the Hybrid bat-
tery. Doing so may result in death
or serious injury.
WARNING - High Waters
• Avoid high waters as this mayresult in your vehicle becoming
saturated with water and could
compromise the high voltage
components.
Do not touch the any of the high voltage components within your
vehicle if your vehicle has been
submerged in water equal to half
of the vehicle height. Touching
high voltage components once
submerged in water could result
in severe burns or electric shock
that could result in deather or
serious injury.
WARNING -
Carrying Liquids in Trunk
Do load large amounts of water in
open containers into the vehicle. If
the water spills onto the HEV bat-
tery, it may cause a short and dam-
age the battery.

Service plug
This service plug (1) located in the rear
trunk as shown should always be pulled
out to disconnect and turn off the hybrid
system.
IMPORTANT: Wait 5 minutes after this
lever is disconnected to work on the
car. It is to be assured all remaining
charge in the system dissipated.
Some Special Features of the
Hybrid Vehicle.
Hybrid vehicles sound different than
gasoline engine vehicles. When the
hybrid system operates, you may hear a
sound from the hybrid battery system
behind the rear seat. If you apply the
accelerator pedal rapidly, you may hear a
sound. when you apply the brake pedal,
you may hear a sound from the regener-
ative brake system. When the hybrid sys-
tem is turned off or on, you may hear a
sound in the engine compartment. If you
depress the brake pedal repeatedly
when the hybrid system is turned on, you
may hear a sound in the engine com-
partment. None of these sounds indicate
a problem.
They are characteristics of hybrid vehi-
cles.
When the hybrid system is turned on, the
engine may run. This does not indicate a
malfunction. If the "READY" symbol is on,
the hybrid system is operating. Even if
the gasoline engine is off, you can oper-
ate the vehicle.The HEV system may emit electromag-
netic waves which can affect the per-
formance of electronic devices appli-
ances, such as laptop computers, which
are not part of the vehicle design.
If you park the vehicle for a long time, the
hybrid system will discharge. You need to
drive the vehicle several times per month
to maintain a charge.
