CAUTION
Use only a 12-volt jumper system.You can damage a 12-volt startingmotor, ignition system, and otherelectrical parts beyond repair by useof a 24-volt power supply (eithertwo 12-volt batteries in series or a24-volt motor generator set).
WARNING
nBattery
Never attempt to check the electro‐lyte level of the battery as this maycause the battery to rupture or ex‐plode causing serious injury.

•Keep all flames or sparks awayfrom the battery. The batteryproduces hydrogen gas which mayexplode if exposed to flame orsparks.If these instructions are not fol‐lowed exactly, serious personal in‐jury and damage to the vehiclemay occur! If you are not sure howto follow this procedure, seekqualified assistance. Automobilebatteries contain sulfuric acid. Thisis poisonous and highly corrosive.When jump starting, wear protec‐tive glasses and be careful not toget acid on yourself, your clothingor on the vehicle.
•Do not attempt to jump start thevehicle if the discharged battery isfrozen or if the electrolyte level islow; the battery may rupture orexplode.
•Do not allow the (+) and (-) jumpercables to touch. It may causesparks.
•The battery may rupture or ex‐plode when you jump start with alow or frozen battery.

CAUTION
nAGM battery (if equipped)
•Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) bat‐teries are maintenance free andhave the AGM battery serviced bya professional workshop. Kia rec‐ommends to visit an authorizedKia dealer/service partner. Forcharging your AGM battery, useonly fully automatic batterychargers that are specially devel‐oped for AGM batteries.
•When replacing the AGM battery,use parts for replacement from aprofessional workshop. Kia recom‐mends to visit an authorized Kiadealer/service partner.
•Do not open or remove the cap ontop of the battery. This may causeleaks of internal electrolyte thatcould result in severe injury.

CAUTION
nBattery cables
Do not connect the jumper cablefrom the negative terminal of thebooster battery to the negative ter‐minal of the discharged battery. Thiscan cause the discharged battery tooverheat and crack, releasing bat‐tery acid. Make sure to connect oneend of the jumper cable to the nega‐tive terminal of the booster battery,and the other end to a metallicpoint, far away from the battery.

ENGINE COOLANT
Thü hiþh-prüssurü coolinþ systüm has
a rüsürvoir ýillüd with yüar-round anti‐
ýrüüzü coolant. Thü rüsürvoir is ýillüd at thü ýactory.

CAUTION
•When the engine overheats fromlow engine coolant, suddenly add‐ing engine coolant may causecracks in the engine. To preventdamage, add engine coolant slowlyin small quantities.
•Do not drive with no engine cool‐ant. It may cause water pump fail‐ure and engine seizure, etc.
Checking the coolant level
WARNING
Removing radiator cap
•Never attempt to remove the radi‐ator cap while the engine is oper‐ating or hot. Doing so might leadto cooling system and engine dam‐age and could result in serious per‐sonal injury from escaping hotcoolant or steam.
•Turn the engine off and wait untilit cools down. Use extreme carewhen removing the radiator cap.Wrap a thick towel around it, andturn it counterclockwise slowly tothe first stop. Step back while thepressure is released from the cool‐ing system.When you are sure all the pressurehas been released, press down onthe cap, using a thick towel, andcontinue turning counterclockwiseto remove it.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Even if the engine is not operating,do not remove the radiator cap orthe drain plug while the engine andradiator are hot. Hot coolant andsteam may still blow out underpressure, causing serious injury.
WARNING
The electric motor (cool‐ing fan) is controlled byengine coolant tempera‐ture, refrigerant pressureand vehicle speed.
It may sometimes operate evenwhen the engine is not running. Useextreme caution when working nearthe blades of the cooling fan so thatyou are not injured by a rotating fanblades. As the engine coolant tem‐perature decreases, the electric mo‐tor will automatically shut off. Thisis a normal condition.If your vehicle is equipped with GDI,the electric motor (cooling fan) mayoperate until you disconnect thenegative battery cable.
