✽✽
NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
engine may not run as smoothly and
the ABS warning light may turn on
at the same time. This happens
because of the low battery voltage. It
does not mean your ABS is malfunc-
tioning.
 Do not pump your brakes!
 Have the battery recharged before driving the vehicle.Electronic stability control (ESC) (if equipped) The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is designed to stabi-
lize the vehicle during cornering
manoeuvres. ESC checks where you
are steering and where the vehicle is
actually going. ESC applies the
brakes at individual wheels and inter-
venes with engine management sys-
tem to stabilize the vehicle.
ORP052032R
WARNING
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when
cornering. Electronic stability
control (ESC) will not prevent
accidents. Excessive speed in
turns, abrupt manoeuvres and
hydroplaning on wet surfacescan still result in serious acci-
dents. Only a safe and attentive
driver can prevent accidents by
avoiding manoeuvres that
cause the vehicle to lose trac-
tion. Even with ESC installed,
always follow all the normal pre-
cautions for driving - including
driving at safe speeds for theconditions.

IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START
If engine doesn't turn over or
turns over slowly
1.If your vehicle has an automatic transaxle / dual clutch transmis-
sion, be sure the shift lever is in N
(Neutral) or P (Park) and the emer-
gency brake is set.
2.Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
3.Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is discharged.
4.Check the starter connections to be sure they are securely tightened.
5.Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it. See instructions for "Jump
starting". If engine turns over normally
but does not start
1.Check fuel level.
2.With the ignition switch in the
LOCK/ OFF position, check all connectors at ignition, coil and
spark plugs. Reconnect any that
may be disconnected or loose.
3.Check the fuel line in the engine compartment.
4.If the engine still does not start, we recommend that you call an autho-
rised Kia dealer.
WARNING
If the engine does not start, do
not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. This could result in a col-
lision or cause other damage. In
addition, push or pull starting
may cause the catalytic convert-
er (if equipped) to be overloaded
and create a fire hazard.

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.
