What to do in an emergency
Jump starting procedure
Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) batteries
are maintenance-free and should only be
serviced by an authorized Kia dealer. For
charging your AGM battery, use only fully
automatic battery chargers that are spe-
cially developed for AGM batteries.
When replacing the AGM battery, use
only the Kia genuine battery for the ISG
system.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If the AGM battery is reconnected or
replaced, ISG function will not operate
immediately.
If you want to use the ISG function, the
battery sensor needs to be calibrated for
approximately 4 hours with the ignition
off and then, turn the engine on and off
2 or 3 times.
1. Make sure the booster battery is 12-
volt and that its negative terminal is
grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, 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
discharged 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, the engine
lifting bracket) away from the battery
(4). Do not connect 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.
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.
CAUTION-AGM battery
cap
Do not open or remove the cap on top of the battery. This may causethe leak of dangerous internal elec-trolytes.

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.

Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged in a
short 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. When recharging the battery, observe
the following precautions:
The battery must be removed from the
vehicle and placed in an area with
good ventilation.
Watch the battery during charging, and stop or reduce the charging rate if the
battery cells begin gassing (boiling)
violently or if the temperature of the
electrolyte of any cell exceeds 49°C
(120°F).
Wear eye protection when checking the battery during charging.
Disconnect the battery charger in the following order.
1. Turn off the battery charger main switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from the negative battery terminal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from the positive battery terminal.
Before performing maintenance or recharging the battery, turn off all
accessories and stop the engine.
The negative battery cable must be removed first and installed last when
the battery is disconnected.
Reset items
Items should be reset after the battery
has been discharged or the battery has
been disconnected.
