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
whilst 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 whilst the
vehicle is being used, recharge it at 20-
30A for two hours.
(Continued)
The battery contains lead.
Do not dispose of it after
use. Please return the bat-
tery to an authorised Kia
dealer to be recycled.
When lifting a plastic-cased bat- tery, excessive pressure on the
case may cause battery acid to
leak, resulting in personal injury.
Lift with a battery carrier or with
your hands on opposite corners.
Never attempt to recharge the battery when the battery cablesare connected.
The electrical ignition system works with high voltage. Never
touch these components with theengine running or the ignition
switched on.
Failure to follow the above warn-
ings can result in serious bodily
injury or death.
CAUTION
If you use unauthorised electronic devices, the battery may be dis- charged. Never use unauthoriseddevices.

Compact spare tyre replacement
(if equipped)
A compact spare tyre has a shorter
tread life than a regular size tyre.
Replace it when you can see the
tread wear indicator bars on the tyre.The replacement compact spare tyre
should be the same size and design
tyre as the one provided with your
new vehicle and should be mountedon the same compact spare tyre
wheel. The compact spare tyre is notdesigned to be mounted on a regular
size wheel, and the compact spare
tyre wheel is not designed for mount-
ing a regular size tyre. 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 widthand offset.
(Continued)
The use of any other tyre size
or type may seriously affect
ride, handling, ground clear-
ance, stopping distance, body
to tyre clearance, snow tyre
clearance, and speedometer
reliability.
It is best to replace all four tyres at the same time. If that
is not possible, or necessary,
then replace the two front or
two rear tyres as a pair.Replacing just one tyre can
seriously affect your vehicle’shandling.
The ABS works by comparing the speed of the wheels. Tyre
size can affect wheel speed.
When replacing tyres, all 4
tyres must use the same size
originally supplied with the
vehicle. Using tyres of a dif-
ferent size can cause the ABS
(Anti-lock Brake System) and
ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) to work irregularly.
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-tyre clearance,
snow chain clearance,speedometer and odometer cal-
ibration, headlight aim and
bumper height.

Maintenance
Tyre traction
Tyre traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tyres, tyres that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces. Tyres should be
replaced when tread wear indicators
appear. To reduce the possibility of
losing control, slow down whenever
there is rain, snow or ice on the road.
Tyre maintenance In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease
tyre wear. If you find a tyre is worn
unevenly, have your dealer check thewheel alignment.
When you have new tyres installed,
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort and
tyre life. Additionally, a tyre should
always be rebalanced if it is removedfrom the wheel.Tyre sidewall labeling
This information identifies and
describes the fundamental charac-
teristics of the tyre and also provides
the tyre identification number (TIN)
for safety standard certification. TheTIN can be used to identify the tyre incase of a recall.
1. Manufacturer or brand name
Manufacturer or Brand name is
shown.
2. Tyre size designation
A tyre’s sidewall is marked with a tyre
size designation. You will need this
information when selecting replace-
ment tyres for your car. The following
explains what the letters and num-
bers in the tyre size designationmean.
Example tyre size designation:
(These numbers are provided as an
example only; your tyre size designa-
tor could vary depending on your
vehicle.) 195/65R15 91H
P - Applicable vehicle type (tyres
marked with the prefix “P’’ are
intended for use on passenger
vehicles or light trucks; however,
not all tyres have this marking).
195 - Tyre width in millimeters.
65 - Aspect ratio. The tyre’s section height as a percentage of its width.
R - Tyre construction code (Radial).
15 - Rim diameter in inches.

Low aspect ratio tyre (if equipped)
Low aspect ratio tyres, whose aspect
ratio is lower than 50, are provided
for sporty looks.
Because the low aspect ratio tyres
are optimized for handling and brak-
ing, it may be more uncomfortable to
ride in and there is more noise com-
pare with normal tyres.CAUTION
Because the sidewall of the lowaspect ratio tyre is shorter thanthe normal, the wheel and tyre of the low aspect ratio tyre iseasier to be damaged. So, followthe instructions below.
- When driving on a rough road or off road, drive cautiouslybecause tyres and wheels maybe damaged. And after driving,inspect tyres and wheels.
- When passing over a pothole, speed bump, manhole, or curbstone, drive slowly so that thetyres and wheels are not dam-aged.
- If the tyre is impacted, we rec- ommend that you inspect thetyre condition or contact anauthorised Kia dealer.
- To prevent damage to the tyre, inspect the tyre condition andpressure every 3,000km.
CAUTION
It is not easy to recognize the tyre damage with your owneyes. But if there is the slight-est hint of tyre damage, eventhough you cannot see the tyre damage with your owneyes, have the tyre checked orreplaced because the tyre damage may cause air leak-age from the tyre.
If the tyre is damaged by driv- ing on a rough road, off road,pothole, manhole, or curb stone, it will not be covered bythe warranty.
You can find out the tyre infor- mation on the tyre sidewall.

FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by
fuses.
This vehicle has 3 (or 4) fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bolster,
others in the engine compartment near
the battery.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, acces-
sories, or controls do not work, check the
appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse has
blown, the element inside the fuse will bemelted.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
Always replace a blown fuse with one of
the same rating.
Before replacing a blown fuse, move to
safe place, turn off the engine and all
electric devices, and disconnect the neg-
ative battery cable.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indi-
cates an electrical problem. Avoid using
the system involved and we recommend
that you consult an authorised Kia deal-
er.
Four kinds of fuses are used: blade typefor lower amperage rating, cartridge type, battery fuse terminal and multi fuse typefor higher amperage ratings.
✽✽ NOTICE
The actual fuse/relay panel label may
differ from equipped items.
WARNING - Fuse replace-
ment
• Never replace a fuse with any- thing but another fuse of the same rating.
A higher capacity fuse could cause damage and possibly a
fire.
Never install a wire or aluminum foil instead of the proper fuse -
even as a temporary repair. It may
cause extensive wiring damage
and a possible fire.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove fusesbecause it may cause a short circuitand damage the system.

Maintenance
Inner 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, we recommend that you
consult an authorised Kia dealer.
If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of the same rating from a circuit you may
not need for operating the vehicle, suchas the cigar lighter fuse.
If the headlights, fog lights, turn signallights, position lights or interior lights do not work and there is nothing wrong with
the bulbs, we recommend that you con- sult with an authorised Kia dealer.
OJD072016ROGDE071017R
CAUTION
When replacing a blown fuse or relay with a new one, make sure
the new fuse or relay fits tightlyinto the clips. The incomplete fas-tening fuse or relay may cause the vehicle wiring and electric
systems damage and a possiblefire.
Do not remove fuses, relays and terminals fastened with bolts or
nuts. The fuses, relays and termi-nals may be fastened incomplete-ly, and it may cause a possiblefire. If fuses, relays and terminals
fastened with bolts or nuts areblown, we recommend that youconsult with an authorised Kia
dealer.
Do not input any other objects except fuses or relays intofuse/relay terminals such as adriver or wiring. It may cause con-
tact failure and system malfunc-tion.
