Normal Charge :We recommend using normal
charging for usual charging of the
vehicle.
(Refer to “Normal Charge.“ in this
chapter)
Quick Charge (if equipped) : You can charge at high speeds at
public charging stations. Refer to
the respective company's manual
that is provided for each quick
charger type.
Battery performance and durability
can deteriorate if the quick charger
is used constantly.
Use of quick charge should be
minimized in order to help prolong
high voltage battery life.
Trickle Charge : Trickle Charge can be used when
Normal Charge or Quick Charge
is not available by using house-
hold electricity. Normal Charge :
Takes about 5-6 hours at room
temperature (depending on charg-
er ) for a full charge (208V : about
6 hours, 240V : about 5h 10min.)
(Can be charged to 100%.)
Quick Charge (if equipped) : Takes about 33 minutes at room
temperature to 80% of SOC.
(50kw charger) (Can be charged
directly to 94%)
DC cable shorter than 10m.
Trickle Charge : Takes about 33 hours at room
temperature. (120V-12A : about 33
hours) (Can be charged to 100%.)
Depending on the condition and dura-
bility of the high voltage battery, charg-
er specifications, and ambient temper-
ature, the time required for charging
the high voltage battery may vary.

You can charge at high speeds at pub-
lic charging stations. Refer to the
respective company's manual that is
provided for each quick charger type.
Battery performance and durability can
deteriorate if the quick charge is used
constantly in hot weather conditions
(heat wave, etc.)
Use of quick charge in hot weather
condition should be minimized in order
to help prolong high voltage battery life.
❈Shape of charger and how to use
the charger may be different for
each manufacturer. ❈
If you use a quick charger when
the vehicle is already fully
charged, some quick chargers will
send out an error message. When
the vehicle is fully charged, do not
charge the vehicle.

When a vehicle accident occurs,
move the vehicle to a safe place, turn
OFF the vehicle and remove the aux-
iliary battery (12 V) terminal to pre-
vent high voltage electricity from
flowing. Remove the auxiliary battery
(12 V) terminal and turn it OFF.When you suspect leakage of inflam-
mable gas and other harmful gases,
open the windows and evacuate to a
safe place. If any leaked fluid comes
in contact with your eyes or skin,
immediately clean the affected area
thoroughly with tap water or saline
solution and have doctors inspect it
as soon as possible.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR
ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Responding to Vehicle Accidents in your
Electric Vehicle
WARNING- Exposed
Wires & Electrical
Components
Do not touch electric wires that
may become exposed from
inside or outside the vehicle,
high voltage electric wires
(orange), connectors and all
electric components and
devices. Doing so may result in
electric shock and lead to
injuries.
WARNING- Damaged battery
Do not touch harmful gas and
electrolytes which may leak if
the high voltage battery is dam-
aged in an accident.WARNING- Vehicle fires
If a small scale fire occurs, use a fire extinguisher (ABC,
BC) that is meant for electrical
fires.
If it is impossible to extin-
guish the fire in the early
stage, remain a safe distance
from the vehicle and immedi-
ately call 911. Also, advise
them that an electric vehicle is
involved.

Introduction

This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder (EDR). The
main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an
air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist
in understanding how a vehicle's
systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety sys-
tems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less. The
EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record data such as:
* How various systems in yourvehicle were operating;
* Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were
buckled/ fastened;
* How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator
and/or brake pedal; and,
* How fast the vehicle was travel- ing. These data can help provide a bet-
ter understanding of the circum-
stances in which crashes and
injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data
are recorded by your vehicle only
if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by
the EDR under normal driving con-
ditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash loca-
tion) are recorded. However, other
parties, such as law enforcement,
could combine the EDR data with
the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a
crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.
Your rights with respect to the
information discussed above may
vary from state to state. In some
states, such information is consid-
ered private, is exclusively owned
by the owner of the motor vehicle,
and is not retrievable or usable by
another person or entity.

Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING- Uprightingseat
Do not press the release lever
on a manual seatback without
holding and controlling the
seatback. The seatback will
spring upright possibly impact-
ing you or other passengers.
WARNING- Loose objects
Do not place anything in the dri-
ver's foot well or under the front
seats. Loose objects in the dri-
ver's foot area could interfere
with the operation of the foot
pedals.WARNING- Driver respon-
sibility for passengers
The driver must advise the pas-
senger to keep the seatback in
an upright position whenever
the vehicle is in motion. If a seat
is reclined during an accident,
the occupant's hips may slide
under the lap portion of the seat
belt, applying great force to the
unprotected abdomen.

WARNING- Driver’s seat
Never attempt to adjust the seat while the vehicle is mov-
ing. This could result in loss
of control of your vehicle.
Do not allow anything to inter- fere with the normal position of
the seatback and seatback
adjustment.
Sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel while still
maintaining comfortable con-
trol of the your vehicle. A dis-
tance of at least 10" from your
chest to the steering wheel is
recommended. Failure to do so
can result in airbag inflation
injuries to the driver.
WARNING - Seat cushion
Occupants should never sit on
aftermarket seat cushions or sit-
ting cushions. The passenger's
hips may slide under the lap por-
tion of the seat belt during an
accident or a sudden stop.

For safety reasons, we recommend
that the child restraint system be
used in the rear seats.
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger seat,
because of the danger an inflating
passenger-side air bag could impact
the rear-facing child restraint and kill
the child.
Since all passenger seat belts move
freely under normal conditions and
only lock under extreme or emer-
gency conditions (emergency lock
mode), you must manually change
these seat belts to the auto lock
mode to secure a child restraint.
If the seat belt does not operate as
described in this section, have the
system checked immediately by your
authorized Kia dealer.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If the vehicle headrest prevents
proper installation of a child seat (as
described in the child seat system
manual), the headrest of the respec-
tive seating position should be read-
justed or entirely removed.
Placing a passenger seat belt
into the auto lock mode
The auto lock mode will help prevent
the normal movement of the child in
the vehicle from causing the seat belt
to loosen and compromise the child
restraint system. To secure a child
restraint system, use the following
procedure.
E2MS103005
WARNING- Child seat installation
Always follow the instructions provided by the child restraint
system manufacturer. Child
restraint system manufactur-
ers know their products best.
Failure to observe this manu- al's instructions regarding
child restraint system and the
instructions provided with the
child restraint system could
result in the improper installa-
tion of the child restraint sys-
tem which may reduce the
protection to your child in a
crash or a sudden stop.
