• The battery may rupture or ex‐
plode
when you jump start with a
low or frozen battery.

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
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 oth‐
er
jumper cable to the negative termi‐
nal of the booster battery (3), then the
other end to a solid, stationary, metallic
point away from the fuse box (4).
Do not allow the jumper cables to con‐
tact anything except the correct bat‐
tery terminals or the correct ground.
Do not lean over the battery when
making connections.
CAUTION
n
Battery cables
Do
not connect the jumper cable
from the negative terminal of the
booster battery to the negative ter‐
minal of the discharged battery. This
can cause the discharged battery to
overheat and crack, releasing bat‐
tery acid.
Make sure to connect one end of the
jumper cable to the negative termi‐
nal of the booster battery, and the
other end to a metallic point, far
away from the battery.
5. Start
the vehicle with the booster
battery and let it run at 2,000 rpm,
then start the vehicle with the dis‐
charged battery.
If the cause of your battery discharging
is not apparent, have the system
checked by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
Push-starting
Your vehicle equipped with reduction
gear should not be push-started.
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle to start it. When
the
vehicle starts, the vehicle can
suddenly surge forward and could
cause a collision with the tow vehi‐
cle.
