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 procedures. If in doubt, we
strongly recommend that you have a
competent technician or towing serv-
ice jump start your vehicle.
CAUTION
Use only a 12-volt jumper sys-
tem. You can damage a 12-voltstarting motor, ignition system, and other electrical partsbeyond repair by use of a 24-volt power supply (either two12-volt batteries in series or a 24-volt motor generator set).
WARNING - Battery
Never attempt to check the elec-
trolyte level of the battery as
this may cause the battery to
rupture or explode causing seri-
ous injury.

TOWING
Towing service
* 2WD or part-time 4WD (2H position) vehicles only If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorized Kia dealer or a commer-
cial tow-truck service. Proper lifting
and towing procedures are neces-
sary to prevent damage to the vehi-
cle. The use of wheel dollies (1) orflatbed is recommended.
On 4WD vehicles, your vehicle must
be towed with a wheel lift and dolliesor flatbed equipment with all the
wheels off the ground.
On 2WD or part-time 4WD (2H posi-
tion) vehicles, it is acceptable to tow
the vehicle with the front wheels on
the ground (without dollies) and the
rear wheels off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or sus- pension components are damaged
or the vehicle is being towed with the
rear wheels on the ground, use a
towing dolly under the rear wheels.
When being towed by a commercial
tow truck and wheel dollies are not
used, the rear of the vehicle should
always be lifted, not the front.
OHM068016
CAUTION
The 4WD vehicle should never
be towed with the wheels on theground. This can cause serious damage to the transaxle or the4WD system.*
