1. AGM90L-DIN : The Kia model
name of battery
2. 90Ah(20HR) : The nominal capaci-
ty (in Ampere hours)
3. 170RC : The nominal reserve
capacity (in min.)
4. 12V : The nominal voltage
5. 850CCA (SAE) : The cold-test cur-
rent in amperes
by SAE
6. 680A : The cold-test current in
amperes by EN Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged
in a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior lights
were left on while the vehicle was
not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
If the battery gradually discharges because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.

WARNING - Recharging
battery
When recharging the battery,
observe the following precau-tions:
The battery must be removed from the 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 batterycells begin gassing (boiling)
violently or if the temperature
of the electrolyte of any cell
exceeds 49°C (120°F).
Wear eye protection when checking the battery during
charging.

FUSES
❈ Left side : Normal
Right side : blown
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses. This vehicle has 5 fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bol-
ster, the others in the engine com-
partment near the battery.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, acces-
sories, or controls do not work, check
the appropriate circuit fuse. If the fuse
becomes disconnected, the electricalsystem it protected will not function
properly. Therefore, replace the fuse.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
In order to replace the fuse, turn off
the engine and switch of all electrical
system first. Then, disconnect the
negative battery cable of the fuse and
replace at a level and safe location.
Always replace a blown fuse with
one of the same rating. If
the replace-
ment fuse blows, this indicates an elec-
trical problem. Avoid using the system
involved and we recommend that you
consult an authorized Kia dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-tridge type, and fusible link for higheramperage ratings.
WARNING - Fuse replace- ment
Never replace a fuse with any- thing but another fuse of the same rating.
A higher capacity fuse could cause damage and possibly a
fire.
Never install a wire or alu- minum foil instead of the
proper fuse even as a tempo-
rary repair. It may cause
extensive wiring damage and
a possible fire.
Do not arbitrarily modify or add-on electric wiring of the
vehicle.
