Engine oil pressure
warning light
This warning light indicates the engine oil
pressure is low.
If the warning light illuminates while driv- ing:
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and stop.
2. With the engine off, check the engine oil level. If the level is low, add oil as required.
If the warning light remains on after
adding oil or if oil is not available, we rec-
ommend that you have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia dealer as
soon as possible.
Charging system warning light
This warning light indicates a malfunction
of either the generator or electricalcharging system.
If the warning light comes on while the
vehicle is in motion:
1. Drive to the nearest safe location.
2. With the engine off, check the genera- tor drive belt for looseness or break-
age.
3. If the belt is adjusted properly, a prob- lem exists somewhere in the electrical
charging system. We recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
CAUTION
If the oil pressure warning light
stays on while the engine is run-
ning, serious engine damage mayresult. The oil pressure warninglight comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. In normal
operation, it should come on whenthe ignition switch is turned on, thengo out when the engine is started. If
the oil pressure warning light stayson while the engine is running, thereis a serious malfunction.
If this happens, stop the car assoon as it is safe to do so, turn off
the engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine oilto the proper level and start theengine again. If the light stays on
with the engine running, turn theengine off immediately. In this case,we recommend that you have thevehicle inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.
CAUTION
If the engine is not stopped imme-diately after the engine oil pressure
warning light is illuminated, severedamage could result.

 If you use devices such as a USB hubpurchased separately, the vehicle’s
audio system may not recognize the
USB device. In that case, connect the
USB device directly to the multimedia
terminal of the vehicle.
 If the USB device is divided by logical
drives, only the music files on the
highest-priority drive are recognized
by car audio.
 Devices such as MP3 Player/ Cellular
phone/Digital camera can be unrecog-
nizable by standard USB I/F can be
unrecognizable.
 Charging through the USB may not be supported in some mobile devices.
 USB HDD or USB types liable to con- nection failures due to vehicle vibra-
tions are not supported. (i-stick type)
 Some non-standard USB devices
(METAL COVER TYPE USB) can be
unrecognizable. (Continued)(Continued)
 Some USB flash memory readers
(such as CF, SD, micro SD, etc.) or

The engine will also restart automati-cally without the driver’s any actionsif the following occurs:
- The fan speed of manual climate con- trol system is set above the 3rd posi- tion when the air conditioning is on.
- The fan speed of automatic climate control system is set above the 6thposition when the air conditioning ison.
- When a certain amount of time has passed with the climate control systemon.
- When the defroster is on.
- The brake vaccum pressure is low.
- The battery charging status is low.
- The vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph). The green AUTO STOP ( ) indicator
on the instrument cluster will blink for 5
seconds and a message “Auto Start” will
appear on the LCD display. (if equipped) Condition of ISG system opera- tionThe ISG system will operate under
the following condition:

Jump starting procedure 1. Make sure the booster battery is 12-
volt and that its negative terminal is
grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another vehi- cle, do not allow the vehicles to touch.
3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the illustra-
tion. First connect one end of a jumper
cable to the positive terminal of the
jump start connector (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 ter-
minal of the booster battery (3), then
the other end to the negative terminal
of the jump start connector (4). Do not
connect it to or near any part that
moves when the engine is cranked.
Do not allow the jumper cables to con-
tact anything except the correct bat-
tery terminals or the correct ground.
Do not lean over the battery 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 vehi-
cle with the discharged battery.
If the cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent, we recommend that the system be checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
CAUTION - Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable
from the negative terminal of the
booster battery to the negative ter- minal of the discharged battery.This can cause the discharged bat-tery to overheat and crack, releas-
ing battery acid.CAUTION -AGM battery (if equipped)
Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) bat-
teries are maintenance-free andwe recommend that the systembe serviced by an authorized Kia
dealer. For charging your AGMbattery, use only fully automaticbattery chargers that are special-ly developed for AGM batteries.
When replacing the AGM battery, use only the Kia genuine batteryfor the ISG system.
Do not open or remove the cap on top of the battery. This may causeleaks of internal electrolyte that
could result in severe injury.
If the AGM battery is reconnected or replaced, ISG function will notoperate immediately.
If you want to use the ISG func-tion, the battery sensor needs tobe calibrated for approximately 4 hours with the ignition off.

Maintenance
(Continued)If any electrolyte gets intoyour eyes, flush your eyes
with clean water for at least
15 minutes and get immedi-ate medical attention.
If electrolyte gets on your
skin, thoroughly wash the
contacted area. If you feel a
pain or a burning sensa-
tion, get medical attention
immediately.
Wear eye protection whencharging or working near a
battery. Always provide
ventilation when working in
an enclosed space.
An inappropriately disposed
battery can be harmful to
the environment and human
health. Dispose the battery
according to your local
law(s) or regulation.

case may cause battery acid to
leak, resulting in personal 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 components with theengine running or the ignition
switched on.
Failure to follow the above warn-
ings can result in serious bodily
injury or death.CAUTION
When you don’t use the vehicle for a long time in the low temper-
ature area, separate the battery and keep it indoors.
Always charge the battery fully to prevent battery case damage in
low temperature area.
If you use unauthorized electron- ic devices, the battery may be dis-charged. Never use unauthorizeddevices.

Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged in a
short time (because, for example, the
headlights or interior lights were left on
while 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 while the
vehicle is being used, recharge it at 20-
30A for two hours.
