Features of your vehicle
Power outletThe power outlet is designed to pro-
vide power for mobile telephones or
other devices designed to operate
with vehicle electrical systems. The
devices should draw less than 10
amps with the engine running.
CAUTION
Use power outlet only when
the engine is running andremove the accessory plugafter use. Using the accessoryplug for prolonged periods of time with the engine off couldcause the battery to discharge.
Only use 12V electric acces- sories which are less than 10Ain electric capacity.
Adjust the air-conditioner or heater to the lowest operatinglevel when using the poweroutlet.

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.

Example
CAUTION -
AGM battery (if equipped)
Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM)
batteries are maintenance-freeand we recommend that the AGM battery be serviced by anauthorised Kia dealer. Forcharging 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 internal electrolyte that could result insevere injury.

Maintenance
FUSESA vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 3 (or 4) fuse panels,
one located in the driver’s side panel
bolster, others in the engine com-
partment 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 thefuse will be melted.
If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver’s sidefuse panel.
Always replace a blown fuse with
one of the same rating.
Before replacing a blown fuse, dis-
connect the negative battery cable.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and we
recommend that you consult an
authorised Kia dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: bladetype for lower amperage rating, car-tridge type, and multi fuse type for higher amperage ratings.
WARNING - Fuse
replacement
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.
Do not arbitrarily modify or add-on electric wiring of the
vehicle.
