H14The HEV system may emit electro-
magnetic waves which can affect the
performance of electronic devices,
such as laptop computers.
If you park the vehicle for a long time,
the hybrid system will discharge. The
vehicle should be driven at least
once per month to maintain a
charge.
When you start the hybrid system in
the "P" transmission position, the
"READY" symbol is illuminated in the
cluster. The driver can drive the vehi-
cle even if the engine is stopped.
Virtual Engine Sound
System(VESS)
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates an engine sound for
pedestrians to hear the vehicle while
at low speeds in EV mode.
WARNING
When you leave the vehicle, you
should turn off the hybrid sys-
tem. If you depress the acceler-
ator pedal by mistake and the
vehicle is not in the "P" posi-
tion, the vehicle will accelerate.
This may result in serious injury
or death.

If An Accident Occurs
Avoid the engine compartment.
Avoid any orange or high voltagewires, cables, or components.
Assume that a high voltage com- ponent is exposed and move away
from the vehicle as promptly as
possible.
Refer to Chapter 6 for towing infor- mation or call Kia Roadside
Assistance.
THE COMPONENTS OF HYBRID VEHICLE (CONT.)
WARNING
After parking the vehicle, shiftthe transmission into "P"
position. Turn off the hybrid
system by pushing the Engine
Start/Stop button.
For your safety, do not touch high voltage cables, connec-
tors and package modules.
High Voltage components are
orange in color.
Exposed cables or wires may be visible inside or outside of
the vehicle. Never touch the
wires or cables, because an
electrical shock may occur
causing injury or death.
If a fire occurs, to extinguish a small high-
voltage battery fire, the follow-
ing techniques can be used: (Continued)
(Continued)- Dry chemical
- CO2
- Large amounts of water
- Regular foam
For a large high-voltage bat-
tery fire, use these types of
extinguishing methods:
- Large amounts of water
- Fog
- Regular foam
If you need towing, refer to chapter 6.

wires or cables, because an
electrical shock may occur
causing injury or death.
WARNING
If a fire occurs:
1.Stop the vehicle and shift the transmission in to "P" posi-
tion, and then depress the
parking brake. To ventilate
smoke from a fire, open the
windows if possible.
2.Turn off the Hybrid system by pushing the Engine Start/Stop
Button.

electrical shock may occur
causing injury or death.
WARNING
If a submersion in water occurs:
If your vehicle was flooded and
has soaked carpeting or water
on the flooring, you should not
try to start the Hybrid system.
Never touch the high voltage
cables, connectors and pack-
age modules, because an elec-
trical shock may occur causing
injury or death. High Voltage
cables are orange in color.
Have the car towed to an
authorized Kia dealer.

When the hybrid vehicle shuts
off
When the high voltage battery or 12-
volt battery discharges, or fuel tank is
empty, the hybrid system may not
operate.
If the Hybrid system stops operating
while the vehicle is moving, reduce
the vehicle speed gradually. Pull your
vehicle off the road in a safe area,
and shift the transmission in to Park
(P) position and;
1.Turn on the hazard warning flash-ers.
2.Using the Start button, turn the system OFF. Try to start the Hybrid
system by applying the brake
pedal and pushing the start button.
3.If the Hybrid system will not oper- ate, refer to "EMERGENCY
STARTING" in chapter 6. Before you try to jump start the vehi-
cle,
confirm the fuel level. If the fuel level
is low add more fuel before attempt-
ing as emergancy start.
