Driving your vehicle
To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing,
squirt an approved de-icer fluid or
glycerine into the key opening. If a
lock is covered with ice, squirt it with
an approved de-icing fluid to remove
the ice. If the lock is frozen internally,
you may be able to thaw it out by
using a heated key. Handle the heat-
ed key with care to avoid injury.
Use approved window washer
anti-freeze in system
To keep the water in the window
washer system from freezing, add an
approved window washer anti-freeze
solution in accordance with instruc-
tions on the container. Window wash-
er anti-freeze is available from an
authorised Kia dealer and most auto
parts outlets. Do not use engine
coolant or other types of anti-freeze
as these may damage the paint finish.Don't let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to hap-
pen when there is an accumulation
of snow or ice around or near the
rear brakes or if the brakes are wet.
If there is a risk the parking brake
may freeze, apply it only temporarily
whilst you put the shift lever in P
(automatic transaxle / dual clutch
transmission) or in first or reverse
gear (manual transaxle) and block
the rear wheels so the vehicle cannot
roll. Then release the parking brake.
Don't let ice and snow accu-
mulate underneath
Under some conditions, snow and
ice can build up under the fenders
and interfere with the steering. When
driving in severe winter conditions
where this may happen, you should
periodically check underneath the
vehicle to be sure the movement of
the front wheels and the steering
components is not obstructed.Carry emergency equipment
Depending on the severity of the
weather, you should carry appropri-
ate emergency equipment. Some of
the items you may want to carry
include tyre chains, tow straps or
chains, flashlight, emergency flares,
sand, shovel, jumper cables, window
scraper, gloves, ground cloth, cover-
alls, blanket, etc.

What to do in an emergency
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 two 12-volt batteries in series or a24-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.

WARNING - Battery
• Keep all flames or sparks away from the battery. The
battery produces hydrogen
gas which may explode if
exposed to flame or sparks.
If these instructions are not fol-
lowed exactly, serious personal
injury and damage to the vehi-
cle may occur! If you are not
sure how to follow this proce-
dure, seek qualified assis-
tance. Automobile batteries
contain sulfuric acid. This is
poisonous and highly corro-
sive. When jump starting, wear
protective glasses and be care-
ful not to get acid on yourself,
your clothing or on the vehicle.
Do not attempt to jump start the vehicle if the discharged
battery is frozen or if the elec-
trolyte level is low; the battery
may rupture or explode.

Jump starting procedure
✽✽
NOTICE
If the battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a battery
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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If the AGM battery is recon- nected or replaced, ISG func-tion will not operate immedi- ately.
If you want to use the ISGfunction, the battery sensorneeds to be calibrated forapproximately 4 hours with the ignition off.

What to do in an emergency
1.Make sure the booster battery is12-volt and that its negative termi-
nal is grounded.
2.If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not allow the vehicles totouch.
3.Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads.
4.Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the illus-
tration. First connect one end of a
jumper cable to the positive termi-
nal of the discharged battery (1),then connect the other end to the
positive terminal on the booster
battery (2). Proceed to connect
one end of the other jumper cable
to the negative terminal of the
booster battery (3), then the other
end to a solid, stationary, metallic
point (for example, the engine lift-
ing bracket) away from the battery
(4). Do not connect it to or near any
part that moves when the engine is
cranked. Make sure that there is no
contact between the bodywork of
the two vehicles; otherwise, there
is the danger of short circuits. Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the correct
battery terminals or the correct
ground. Do not lean over the bat-
tery when making connections.
5.Start the engine of the vehicle with the booster battery and let it run at
2,000 rpm, then start the engine of
the vehicle with the discharged
battery. If the first starting attempt
is not successful, wait a few min-
utes before making another
attempt in order to allow the dis-
charged battery to recharge.
If the cause of your battery discharg-
ing is not apparent, we recommendthat the system be checked by an authorised Kia dealer.
Push-starting
Your manual transaxle-equipped
vehicle should not be push-startedbecause it might damage the emis-
sion control system. Vehicles
equipped with automatic transaxle /
dual clutch transmission cannot be
push-started. Follow the directions in
this section for jump-starting.
CAUTION - Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable
from the negative terminal of thebooster battery to the negative terminal of the discharged bat-tery. This can cause the dis-charged battery to overheat and crack, releasing battery acid.
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle to start it
because the sudden surge for-
ward when the engine startscould cause a collision with the
tow vehicle.
