EMERGENCY STARTING
Connect cables in numerical order and
disconnect in reverse order. Jump starting
Jump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid harm to
yourself or damage to your vehicle or
battery, follow the jump starting proce-
dures. If in doubt, we strongly recom-
mend that you have a competent techni-
cian or towing service jump start your
vehicle.
Jump starting procedure
CAUTION
Use only a 12-volt jumper system.
You can damage a 12-volt starting
motor, ignition system, and otherelectrical parts beyond repair by use of a 24-volt power supply (eithertwo 12-volt batteries in series or a
24-volt motor generator set).
WARNING - Battery
• Keep all flames or sparks away from the battery. The battery pro-
duces hydrogen gas which may
explode if exposed to flame orsparks.
Do not attempt to jump start the vehicle if the discharged battery
is frozen or if the electrolyte level
is low; the battery may rupture or
explode.
WARNING - Battery
Never attempt to check the elec-
trolyte level of the battery as this
may cause the battery to rupture or
explode causing serious injury.

CAUTION -AGM battery (if equipped)
Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) bat-
teries are maintenance-free and
we recommend that system beserviced by an authorised Kiadealer. For charging your AGM battery, use only fully automatic
battery chargers that are special-ly developed for AGM batteries.
When replacing the AGM battery, we recommend that the AGM bat-tery be replaced by an authorised
Kia dealer.

What to do in an emergency
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 comein contact.
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). 5. 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.
6. 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 is
not apparent, we recommend that thesystem be checked by an authorised Kia
dealer.
Push-starting
Your manual transaxle-equipped vehicle
should not be push-started because itmight damage the emission control sys-tem.
Vehicles equipped with automatic
transaxle cannot be push-started.
Follow the directions in this section for
jump-starting.
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle to start it
because the sudden surge forward
when the engine starts could cause
a collision with the tow vehicle.
CAUTION - Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable
from the negative terminal of the booster 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.
(Continued)
If the AGM battery is reconnected or replaced, ISG function will notoperate immediately.
If you want to use the ISG func-tion, the battery sensor needs to be calibrated for approximately 4hours with the ignition off.

What to do in an emergency
Notes on the safe use of the Tyre Mobility Kit
Park your car at the side of theroad so that you can work with the
Tyre Mobility Kit away from moving
traffic. Place your warning triangle
in a prominent place to make pass-
ing vehicles aware of your location.
To be sure your vehicle won't move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your park-
ing brake.
Only use the Tyre Mobility Kit for sealing/inflation passenger car
tyres. Do not use on motorcycles,
bicycles or any other type of tyres.
Do not remove any foreign objects- such as nails or screws -that have
penetrated the tyre.
Before using the Tyre Mobility Kit, read the precautionary advice
printed on the sealant bottle!
Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise
operating the compressor may
eventually drain the car battery. Never leave the Tyre Mobility Kit
unattended whilst it is being used.
Do not leave the compressor run- ning for more than 10 min. at a time
or it may overheat.
Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).
Do not use the sealing compound after its expiration date which can
be found on the label of the bottle.
Keep away from children. Technical Data
System voltage: DC 12 V
Working voltage: DC 10 - 15 V
Amperage rating: max. 15 A
Suitable for use at temperatures:
-30 ~ +70°C (-22 ~ +158°F)
Max. working pressure: 6 bar (87 psi)
Size
Compressor: 170 x 150 x 60 mm (6.7 x 5.9 x 2.4 in.)
Sealant bottle: 85 x 77 ø mm (3.3 x 3.0 ø in.)
Compressor weight: 0.8 kg (1.8 lbs)
Sealant volume: 200 ml (12.2 cu. in.)
❈ Sealing compound and spare
parts can be obtained and
replaced at an authorised vehicle
or tyre dealer. Empty sealing com-
pound bottles may be disposed of
at home. Liquid residue from thesealing compound should be dis-
posed of by your vehicle or tyredealer or in accordance with local
waste disposal regulations.
