of another vehicle and two jumper
cables. Only use jumper cables with
fully insulated clamp handles.
To prevent personal injury or dam-
age to both vehicles, adhere strictly
to the following procedure.
(Continued)
Do not allow the (+) and (-) jumper cables to touch. It may cause sparks.
The battery may rupture or explode when you jump start
with a low or frozen battery.
CAUTION - AGM battery
(if equipped)
Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) batteries are maintenance-freeand we recommend that theAGM batteries be serviced byan authorised Kia dealer. For charging your AGM battery,use only fully automatic bat-tery chargers that are speciallydeveloped for AGM batteries.
When replacing the AGM bat- tery, we recommend that youuse parts for replacementfrom an authorised Kia dealer.
Do not open or remove the cap on top of the battery. Thismay cause leaks of internalelectrolyte that could result insevere injury.

Maintenance
(Continued)The battery contains
lead. Do not dispose of it
after use. Please return
the battery to an autho-
rised Kia dealer to be
recycled.
When lifting a plastic-cased battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak, resulting in per-
sonal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
Never attempt to recharge the battery when the battery
cables are connected.
The electrical ignition system works with high voltage.
Never touch these compo-nents with the engine running
or the ignition switched on.
Failure to follow the abovewarnings can result in serious
bodily injury or death.CAUTION
If you use unauthorised elec- tronic devices, the battery maybe discharged. Never use unau-thorised devices.
(Continued)
If any electrolyte getsinto your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean
water for at least 15 min-
utes and get immediate
medical attention. If elec-
trolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the
contacted area. If you
feel a pain or a burning
sensation, get medical
attention immediately.
Wear eye protection when charging or work-
ing near a battery.
Always provide ventila-
tion when working in an

Battery capacity label
(see the example) ❈ The actual battery label in the vehicle may
differ from the illustration.
1. CMF60L-BCI : The Kia model name of battery
2. 12V : The nominal voltage
3. 60Ah(20HR) : The nominal capac- ity (in Amperehours)
4. 92RC : The nominal reserve
capacity (in min.)
5. 550CCA : The cold-test current in amperes by SAE
6. 440A : The cold-test current in
amperes by EN Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged
in a short time (because, for exam-
ple, 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.

Disconnect the battery charg- er 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 batteryterminal.
Before performing mainte- nance or recharging the bat-

The battery must be removed from the vehicle and placed in an area with good ventilation.
Do not allow cigarettes, sparks, or flame near the bat-
tery.
Watch the battery during charging, and stop or reduce
the charging rate if the batterycells 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.
