Maintenance
When recharging the battery,
observe the following precautions:
 The battery must be removed fromthe vehicle and placed in an area
with good ventilation.
 Do not allow cigarettes, sparks, or flame near the battery.
 Watch the battery during charging, and stop or reduce the charging
rate if the battery cells begin
gassing (boiling) violently or if the
temperature of the electrolyte of
any cell exceeds 120°F (49°C).
 Wear eye protection when check- ing the battery during charging.
 Disconnect the battery charger in the following order.
1. Turn off the battery charger main switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from the negative battery terminal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from the positive battery terminal.  Before performing maintenance or
recharging the battery, turn off all
accessories and stop the engine.
 The negative battery cable must be removed first and installed last
when the battery is disconnected.Reset items
The following items should be reset
after the battery has been dis-
charged or the battery has been dis-
connected.
 Auto up/down window
 Sunroof

CAUTION - AGM battery
 Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries are maintenance freeand have the AGM batteryserviced by a professionalworkshop. Kia recommends tovisit an authorized Kia dealer.
For charging your AGM battery,use only fully automatic batterychargers that are speciallydeveloped for AGM batteries.
 When replacing the AGM bat- tery, use parts for replacementfrom a professional workshop.Kia recommends to visit anauthorized Kia dealer.
 Do not open or remove the cap on top of the battery. This maycause leaks of internal elec-trolyte that could result insevere injury.

Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a compara-
tive rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified govern-
ment test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one-and-a-
half times (1½) as well on the gov-
ernment course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions
of their use, however, and may
depart significantly from the norm
due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate. Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used. Regardless
of the remaining tread, we recom-
mend that tires be replaced after
approximately six (6) years of normal
service. Heat caused by hot climates
or frequent high loading conditions
can accelerate the aging process.
These grades are molded on the
side-walls of passenger vehicle tires.
The tires available as standard or
optional equipment on your vehicles
may vary with respect to grade.
Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those
grades represent the tires ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on spec-
ified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked
C may have poor traction perform-
ance.
The traction grade assigned to this
tire is based on straight-ahead brak-
ing traction tests, and does not
include acceleration, cornering,
hydroplaning, or peak traction char-
acteristics.
