What to do in an emergency
11. Connect the jumper cables in the
exact sequence shown in the
illustration. First connect one end
of a jumper cable to the positive
terminal of the jump start con-
nector (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 neg-
ative terminal of the booster bat-
tery (3), then the other end to the
negative terminal of the jump start
connector (4). Do not connect it to
or near any part that moves when
the engine is cranked.
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.
12. 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 dis-
charged battery.
If the cause of your battery discharg-
ing is not apparent, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Push-starting
Vehicles equipped with automatic
transaxle cannot be push-started.
Follow the directions in this section
for jump-starting.
CAUTION
- Battery
cables
Do not connect the jumper cable
from the negative terminal of the
booster battery to the negative
terminal of the discharged bat-
tery. This can cause the dis-
charged battery to overheat and
crack, releasing battery acid.
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle to start it
because the sudden surge for-
ward when the engine starts
could cause a collision with the
tow vehicle.
