Maintenance
(Continued)The battery containslead. Do not dispose of it
after use. Contact a pro-
fessional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit anauthorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
When lifting a plastic-cased battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak, resulting in per-
sonal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
Never attempt to recharge the battery when the battery
cables are connected.
The electrical ignition system works with high voltage.
Never touch these compo-nents with the engine running
or the ignition switched on.
Failure to follow the abovewarnings can result in serious
bodily injury or death.CAUTION
If you use unauthorised elec- tronic devices, the battery maybe discharged. Never use unau-thorised devices.
(Continued)
If any electrolyte getsinto your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean

utes and get immediate
medical attention. If elec-
trolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the
contacted area. If you
feel a pain or a burning
sensation, get medical
attention immediately.
Wear eye protection when charging or work-
ing near a battery.
Always provide ventila-

differ from the illustration.
1. CMF60L-BCI : The Kia model name of battery
2. 12V : The nominal voltage
3. 60Ah(20HR) : The nominal capac- ity (in Amperehours)
4. 92RC : The nominal reserve
capacity (in min.)
5. 550CCA : The cold-test current in amperes by SAE

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 whilst 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 whilst
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.

CAUTION -
AGM battery (if equipped)
Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM)
batteries are maintenance freeand have the AGM battery serviced by a professionalworkshop. Kia recommends tovisit an authorised Kia deal- er/service partner.
For charging your AGM bat-tery, use only fully automaticbattery chargers that are spe-cially developed for AGM bat- teries.
When replacing the AGM bat- tery, use parts for replacementfrom a professional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/servicepartner.
Do not open or remove the cap on top of the battery. Thismay cause leaks of internal electrolyte that could result insevere injury.

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 bat-
tery.
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.

Maintenance
FUSESA vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 3 (or 4) fuse panels,
one located in the driver’s side panel
bolster, 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 a fuse
has blown, the element inside thefuse will be melted.
If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver’s sidefuse panel.
Always replace a blown fuse with
one of the same rating.
Before replacing a blown fuse, dis-
connect the negative battery cable.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and imme-
diately consult a professional work-
shop. Kia recommends to consult an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
Three kinds of fuses are used: bladetype for lower amperage rating, car-tridge type, and multi fuse type for higher amperage ratings.
WARNING - Fuse
replacement
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 aluminum foil instead of the proper fuse -
even as a temporary repair. It
may cause extensive wiring
damage and a possible fire.
Do not arbitrarily modify or add-on electric wiring of the
vehicle.

2. Remove the fuse panel cover bypressing the tab and pulling the
cover up. When the blade type
fuse is disconnected, remove it by
using the clip designed for chang-ing fuses located in the engine
room fuse box. Upon removal,
securely insert reserve fuse of
equal quantity.
3. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. To remove or insert
the fuse, use the fuse puller in the
engine compartment fuse panel.
4. Push in a new fuse of the same rat- ing, and make sure it fits tightly in
the clips. If it fits loosely, consult a
professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to consult an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.Main fuse
If the main fuse is blown, it must be
removed as follows:
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the nuts shown in the pic- ture above.
4. Replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating.
5. Reinstall in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION
After checking the fuse box in the
engine compartment, securelyinstall the fuse box cover. If not, electrical failures may occur fromwater leaking in.
CAUTION
Visually inspect the battery capfor secure closing. If the batterycap is not securely latched, the electrical system may be dam-aged to due influx of moistureinto the system.

Multi fuse
If the multi fuse is blown, it must be
removed as follows:
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Disconnect the negative battery
cable.
3. Remove the fuse panel on the right side in the engine compart-ment.
4. Remove the nuts shown in the pic- ture above.
5. Replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating.
6. Reinstall in the reverse order of removal.

Headlight and front fog light aim-
ing (for Europe)
Headlight aiming
1. Inflate the tyres to the specified
pressure and remove any loads
from the vehicle except the driver,
spare tyre, and tools.
2. The vehicle should be placed on a flat floor.
3. Draw vertical lines (Vertical lines passing through respective head
lamp centres) and a horizontal line
(Horizontal line passing throughcentre of head lamps) on thescreen. 4. With the head lamp and battery in
normal condition, aim the head
lamps so the brightest portion falls
on the horizontal and vertical
lines.
5. To aim the low beam left or right, turn the driver (1) clockwise or
counterclockwise. To aim the low
beam up or down, turn the driver
(2) clockwise or counterclockwise.
Front fog light aiming
The front fog lamp can be aimed as the same manner of the head lampsaiming.
With the front fog lamps and battery
normal condition, aim the front fog
lamps. To aim the front fog lamp up
or down, turn the driver clockwise or
counterclockwise.ORP072051

3. Exhaust emission control
system
The Exhaust Emission Control
System is a highly effective system
which controls exhaust emissions
whilst maintaining good vehicle per-
formance.
Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could
affect its performance, safety or
durability and may even violate gov-
ernmental safety and emissions reg-
ulations.
In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from any modifi-
cation may not be covered under
warranty.
If you use unauthorised electronic devices, it may cause the vehicle to
operate abnormally, wire damage,
battery discharge or fire. For your
safety, do not use unauthorised
electric devices.
Engine exhaust gas precautions
(carbon monoxide)
Carbon monoxide can be present with other exhaust fumes.
Therefore, if you smell exhaust
fumes of any kind inside your vehi-
cle, have it inspected and repaired
immediately. If you ever suspect
exhaust fumes are coming into
your vehicle, drive it only with all
the windows fully open. Have your
vehicle checked and repaired
immediately. Do not operate the engine in con-
fined or closed areas (such as
garages) any more than what is
necessary to move the vehicle in orout of the area.
When the vehicle is stopped in an open area for more than a short
time with the engine running,
adjust the ventilation system (as
needed) to draw outside air into the
vehicle.
Never sit in a parked or stopped vehicle for any extended time with
the engine running.
When the engine stalls or fails to start, excessive attempts to restart
the engine may cause damage tothe emission control system.
WARNING - Exhaust
Engine exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide (CO). Though
colourless and odourless, it is
dangerous and could be lethal if
inhaled. Follow the instructions
following to avoid CO poison-ing.
