What to do in an emergency
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILST DRIVING
If the engine stalls at a cross-
road or crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroad or crossing, set the shift lever in the
N (Neutral) position and then push
the vehicle to a safe place.
If your vehicle has a manual transaxle not equipped with a igni-
tion lock switch, the vehicle can
move forward by shifting to the2(Second) or 3(Third) gear and
then turning the starter withoutdepressing the clutch pedal. If you have a flat tyre whilst driving
If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driving:
1.Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow down
whilst driving straight ahead. Do not
apply the brakes immediately orattempt to pull off the road as this
may cause a loss of control. When
the vehicle has slowed to such a
speed that it is safe to do so, brakecarefully and pull off the road.
Drive off the road as far as possible
and park on firm, level ground. If
you are on a divided highway, do
not park in the median area
between the two traffic lanes.
2.When the vehicle is stopped, turn on your emergency hazard flashers,
set the parking brake and put the
transaxle in P (automatic transaxle /
dual clutch transmission) or reverse
(manual transaxle). 3.Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
4.When changing a flat tyre, follow the instruction provided later in this
chapter.
If engine stalls whilst driving
1.Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
2.Turn on your emergency flashers.
3.Try to start the engine again. If your vehicle does not start, consult a
professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to consult an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.

What to do in an emergency
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the correct
battery terminals or the correct
ground. Do not lean over the bat-
tery 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 first starting attempt
is not successful, wait a few min-
utes before making another
attempt in order to allow the dis-
charged battery to recharge.
If the cause of your battery discharg-
ing is not apparent, have the systemchecked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an autho-rised Kia dealer/service partner.
Push-starting
Your manual transaxle-equipped
vehicle should not be push-startedbecause it might damage the emis-
sion control system. Vehicles
equipped with automatic transaxle /
dual clutch transmission cannot be
push-started. Follow the directions in
this section for jump-starting.
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle to start it
because the sudden surge for-
ward when the engine startscould cause a collision with the
tow vehicle.
CAUTION - Battery
cables
Do not connect the jumper cablefrom the negative terminal of thebooster battery to the negative terminal of the discharged battery.
This can cause the dischargedbattery to overheat and crack,releasing battery acid.
Make sure to connect one end ofthe jumper cable to the negativeterminal of the booster battery, and the other end to a metallicpoint, far away from the battery.

What to do in an emergency
To store the spare tyre:
1.Lay the tyre on the ground with thevalve stem facing up.
2.Place the wheel under the vehicle and install the retainer (1) through
the wheel centre.
3.Turn the wrench clockwise until it clicks. Changing tyres
1.Park on a level surface and apply
the parking brake firmly.
2.Shift the shift lever into R (Reverse) with manual transaxle or
P (Park) with automatic transaxle /
dual clutch transmission.
3.Activate the hazard warning flasher.
OUN049015
WARNING
Ensure the spare tyre retainer is
properly aligned with the centre
of the spare tyre to prevent the
spare tyre “rattling”. Otherwise,
it may cause the spare tyre tofall off the carrier and lead to anaccident.
