• On loose or uneven road surfaces, op‐eration of the anti-lock brake system
may result in a longer stopping dis‐
tance than for vehicles equipped with a conventional brake system.

CAUTION
•If the ABS warning light is on andstays on, you may have a problemwith the ABS. In this case, howev‐er, your regular brakes will worknormally.

•The ABS warning light will stay onfor approximately 3 seconds afterthe ignition switch is ON. Duringthat time, the ABS will go throughself-diagnosis and the light will gooff if everything is normal. If thelight stays on, you may have aproblem with your ABS. In thiscase, have the system checked bya professional workshop. Kia rec‐ommends to visit an authorizedKia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
•When you drive on a road havingpoor traction, such as an icy road,and operate your brakes continu‐ously, the ABS will be active con‐tinuously and the ABS warninglight may illuminate. Pull your carover to a safe place and stop theengine.

•Restart the engine. If the ABSwarning light is off, then your ABSsystem is normal. Otherwise, youmay have a problem with the ABS.In this case, have the systemchecked by a professional work‐shop. Kia recommends to visit anauthorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.
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 be‐
cause 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.

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
If the engine doesn't turn over
or turns over slowly
1. If your vehicle has an automatictransaxle, be sure the shift lever is
in N (Neutral) or P (Park) and the
emergency 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 L

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 pro‐
cedures. If in doubt, we strongly rec‐ ommend that you have a competent
technician or towing service jump start
your vehicle.
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.
WARNING

•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.

Jump starting procedure
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 to
come in contact.
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, sta‐
tionary, metallic point (for example,
the engine lifting bracket) away
from the battery (4). Do not con‐
nect it to or near any part that
moves when the engine is cranked.
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.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 one end of thejumper cable to the negative termi‐nal of the booster battery, and theother end to a metallic point, faraway from the battery.
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 cause of your battery discharging
is not apparent, have the systemchecked by a professional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Push-starting
Your manual transaxle-equipped vehi‐
cle should not be push-started because it might damage the emission control
system.
Vehicles equipped with automatic
transaxle cannot be push-started.
Follow the directions in this section for L

12. Detach the hose from the sealantbottle connector and from the tire
valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor‐ age location in the vehicle.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide poisoning and suf‐focation is possible if the engine isleft running in a poorly ventilated orunventilated location (such as insidea building).
Distributing the sealant
13. Immediately drive approximately 7~10km (4~6miles or, about 10min)
to evenly distribute the sealant in
the tire.
CAUTION
Do not exceed a speed of 60 km/h(35 mph). If possible, do not fall be‐low a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph).
(Continued)
(Continued)
While driving, if you experience anyunusual vibration, ride disturbanceor noise, reduce your speed anddrive with caution until you cansafely pull off of the side of theroad. Call for road side service ortowing.When you use the Tire Mobility Kit,the wheel may be stained by seal‐ant. Therefore, remove the wheelstained by sealant and have the ve‐hicle inspected at a professionalworkshop. Kia recommends to visitan authorized Kia dealer/servicepartner.
Checking the tire inflation
pressure
1. After driving approximately 7~10 km (4~6 miles or about
10 minutes), stop at a suitable lo‐
cation.
2. Connect the filling hose (3) of the compressor (clip mounted side) di‐
rectly and then connect the filling
hose (3) (opposite side) to the tire
valve. 3. Connect between compressor and
the vehicle battery using the cable
and connectors.
4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to 200 kPa (29 psi). With the ignition
switched on, proceed as follows.
-
To increase the inflation pressure:
Switch on the compressor, position I.
To check the current inflation pres‐
sure setting, briefly switch off the
compressor.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run formore than 10 minutes, otherwisethe device will overheat and may bedamaged.
-To reduce the inflation pressure:
Press the button (9) on the compres‐
sor.
