What to do in an emergency

Emergency towing precautions
Turn the ignition switch to ACC so the
steering wheel isn’t locked.
Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking brake.
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 per-
formance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off. If the car is being towed with all four
wheels on the ground, it can be towed
only from the front. Be sure that the
transmission is in neutral. Be sure the
steering is unlocked by placing the igni-
tion switch in the ACC position. A driver
must be in the towed vehicle to operate
the steering and brakes.
Tie-down hook
(for flatbed towing, if equipped)
CAUTION - Automatic
transaxle
To avoid serious damage to the
automatic transmission, limit thevehicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph)and drive less than 1.5 km (1mile) when towing.
Before towing, check the auto- matic transmission fluid leakunder your vehicle. If the auto-matic transmission fluid is leak-ing, a flatbed equipment or tow-ing dolly must be used.
CAUTION - Tie-down hooks
Do not use the tie-down hooks for
towing purposes. These hooks aredesigned ONLY for transport tie- down. If the tie-down hooks areused for towing, the tie-down hooks or front bumper will be damaged.

Maintenance
Always read the following
instructions carefully when han-
dling a battery.
If any electrolyte gets into your eyes, flush your eyes with clean
water for at least 15 minutes and
get immediate medical attention.
If electrolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the contacted
area. If you feel pain or burning
sensation, get medical attention
immediately. An inappropriately disposed bat-tery can be harmful to the envi-
ronment and human health.
Dispose the battery according to
your local law(s) or regulation.
The battery contains lead. Do
not dispose of it after use.
Please return the battery to an
authorized Kia dealer to be recy-
cled. When you don’t use the vehicle for a long
time in the low temperature area, sepa-
rate the battery and keep it indoors.
WARNING - Risk of
explosion
Keep Lit cigarettes and all
other flames or sparks
away from the battery.
The battery contains hydro-
gen -- a highly combustible
gas, which will explode if it
comes in contact with a
flame or spark.
WARNING - Sulfuric acidin batteries
Keep batteries out of the
reach of children because
batteries contain highly
corrosive SULFURIC ACID
and electrolytes. Do not
allow battery acid to con-
tact your skin, eyes, cloth-
ing or paint finish.
Wear eye protection when charging or working near a
battery. Always provide
ventilation when working in
an enclosed space.
WARNING - Recharging
battery
Never attempt to recharge the bat-
tery when the battery cables are
connected.
WARNING - Risk of elec-
trocution
Never touch the electrical ignition
system while the vehicle is run-
ning. This system works with high
voltage which can "zap" you.

Maintenance
Instrument panel fuse replacement
1. Turn the ignition switch and all otherswitches off.
2. Open the fuse panel cover.
3. Pull the suspected fuse straight out. Use the removal tool provided in the
engine compartment fuse panel.
4. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.
5. 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 maynot need for operating the vehicle, suchas the cigar lighter fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical com-
ponents do not work and the fuses are
OK, check the fuse block in the engine
compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must
be replaced.
Memory fuse
Your vehicle is equipped with the memo-
ry 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 periods.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and tail lights.
3. Open the driver’s side panel cover and pull up the memory fuse.

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. Refer to “Battery” in this
section.
Even though the memory fuse is pulled
up, the battery can still be discharged by
operation of the headlights or other elec-
trical devices.
Engine compartment panel fuse
replacement
1. Turn the ignition switch and all other switches off.
2. Remove the fuse box cover by press- ing the tap and pulling up the cover.
3. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. To remove or insert the fuse,
use the fuse puller in the engine com-
partment fuse panel.
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.
