ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
WARNING
nENGINE EXHAUST CAN BEDANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be ex‐tremely dangerous. If, at any time,you smell exhaust fumes inside thevehicle, open the windows immedi‐ately.•Do not inhale exhaust fumes.Exhaust fumes contain carbonmonoxide, a colorless, odorless gasthat can cause unconsciousnessand death by asphyxiation.
•Be sure the exhaust system doesnot leak.The exhaust system should bechecked whenever the vehicle israised to change the oil or for anyother purpose. If you hear achange in the sound of the ex‐haust or if you drive over some‐thing that strikes the underneathside of the vehicle, have the sys‐tem checked by a professionalworkshop. Kia recommends to visitan authorized Kia dealer/servicepartner.

•Do not run the engine in an en‐closed area.Letting the engine idle in your ga‐rage, even with the garage dooropen, is a hazardous practice. Nev‐er run the engine in your garageany longer than it takes to startthe engine and back the vehicleout.
•Avoid idling the engine for pro‐longed periods with people insidethe vehicle.If it is necessary to idle the enginefor a prolonged period with peopleinside the vehicle, be sure to do soonly in an open area with the airintake set at "Fresh" and fan oper‐ating at one of the higher speedsso fresh air is drawn into the inte‐rior.
If you must drive with the tailgate/trunk open because you are carryingobjects that make this necessary:1.Close all windows.
2.Open side vents.

3.Set the air intake control at"Fresh", the air flow control at"Floor" or "Face" and the fan atone of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of theventilation system, be sure the ven‐tilation air intakes located just infront of the windshield are keptclear of snow, ice, leaves or otherobstructions.

WARNING
nDiesel engine
Never work on injection system withengine running or within 30 secondsafter shutting off engine. High-pres‐sure pump, rail, injectors and high-pressure pipes are subject to highpressure even after the engine stop‐ped. The fuel jet produced by fuelleaks may cause serious injury, if ittouches the body. People usingpacemakers should not move than30 cm closer to the ECU or wiringharness within the engine roomwhile engine is running, since the

high currents in the electronic enginecontrol system produce considerablemagnetic fields.
CAUTION
•Do not put heavy objects or applyexcessive force on top of the en‐gine cover (if equipped) or fuel re‐lated parts.
•When you inspect the fuel system(fuel lines and fuel injection devi‐ces), contact a professional work‐shop. Kia recommends to visit anauthorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.
•Do not drive long time with the en‐gine cover (if equipped) removed.
•When checking the engine room,do not go near fire. Fuel, washerfluid, etc. are flammable oils thatmay cause fire.

(Continued)
•The battery must be removedfrom the vehicle and placed in anarea with good ventilation.
•Do not allow cigarettes, sparks, orflame near the battery.
•Watch the battery during charg‐ing, and stop or reduce the charg‐ing rate if the battery cells begingassing (boiling) violently or if thetemperature of the electrolyte ofany cell exceeds 49 °C (120°F).
•Wear eye protection when check‐ing the battery during charging.
•Disconnect the battery charger inthe following order.1.Turn off the battery chargermain switch.
2.Unhook the negative clampfrom the negative battery ter‐minal.
3.Unhook the positive clamp fromthe positive battery terminal.
•Before performing maintenance orrecharging the battery, turn off allaccessories and stop the engine.

•The negative battery cable mustbe removed first and installed lastwhen the battery is disconnected.
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.
