In case of an emergency
Connecting jumper cables
Connect cables in numerical order
and disconnect in reverse order.
Jump starting procedure
1. Make sure the booster battery is
12-volt and that its negative termi-
nal is grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, do not allow the vehicles
to touch.
3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical
loads.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the
exact sequence shown in the pre-
vious illustration. First connect one
end of a jumper cable to the posi-
tive terminal of the discharged bat-
tery (
➀ ), then connect the other
end to the positive terminal on the
booster battery (
➁ ). Proceed to
connect one end of the other
jumper cable to the negative termi-
nal of the booster battery (
➂
), then
the other end to a solid, stationary,
metallic point (for example, the
engine lifting bracket) away from
the battery (
➃ ). Do not connect it to
or near any part that moves when
the engine is cranked. Do not con-
nect the jumper cable from the
negative terminal of the booster
battery to the negative terminal of
the discharged battery.
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the cor-
rect battery terminals or the cor-
rect ground. Do not lean over the
battery when making connections.
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 discharg-
ing is not apparent, you should have
your vehicle checked by an
Authorized Kia Dealer.
