sequence shown in the previous illustration.First
connect one end of a jumper cable to the
positive terminal of the discharged battery, then
connect the other end to the positive terminal on
the booster battery. Proceed to connect one end
of the other jumper cable to the negative
terminal of the booster battery, then the other
end to a solid, stationary, metallic point (for
example, the engine lifting bracket) away from
the battery. Do not connect it to or near any part
that moves when the engine is cranked. Do not
connect 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
correct battery terminals or the correct 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 discharge is not
apparent, you should have your vehicle checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.
