What to do in an emergency
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 you have a flat tire while
driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing:
1. Take your foot off the acceleratorpedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-
ately or attempt to pull off the road
as this may cause a loss of con-
trol. When the vehicle has slowed
to such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully 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 flash-
ers, set the parking brake and put
the transaxle in P.
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 tire, follow the instruction provided later in
this section.
If the engine stalls while driv-
ing
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 hybrid system again. If your vehicle will not start,
contact an authorized Kia dealer
or seek other qualified assistance.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If there was a check engine light and
loss of power or stall and if safe to do
so, wait at least 10 seconds to restart
the vehicle after it stalls. This may
reset the car so it will no longer run
at low power (limp home) condition.

What to do in an emergency
EMERGENCY STARTING
Before Jump Starting
(For Hybrid)
Over discharge of 12V battery
- Press the reconnection(“12V Batt Reset”) switch (1) :
This car has a reconnection switch
which can reset the over discharged
12V battery and enable getting the
car started without jump-start.
Press the “12V Batt Reset” switch(1) located on the lower left dash.
Immediately start car by stepping on the brake pedal and pressing
the Start switch within few seconds. To charge 12V battery, keep driving
or idling the car more than 30 min-
utes.
If you do not start the vehicle immedi-
ately after pressing the “12V Batt
Reset” switch (1), the power of 12V
battery is automatically disconnected
after few seconds to save the 12V
battery from additional discharge. If
the 12V battery is disconnected prior
to starting the vehicle, press “12V Batt
Reset” switch (1) again and then
immediately start the car as explained
above.
Repeated use of the “12V Batt Reset”
switch(1) without a sufficient engine
ON cycle (30 Min+) may cause over
discharge of the 12V battery, which will
prevent car starting. If the 12V battery
is over discharged to a point that the
reset does not work, try to jump-start
the vehicle. (refer to jump-starting)
After starting the vehicle (HEV
Ready), the 12V battery is being
charged whether the engine is run-
ning or not. Although there is no
engine-sound, it is not necessary to
step on the accelerator pedal. Once the 12V battery is fully dis-
charged and reconnected, the 12V
battery is initialized.
Items should be reset after the battery
has been discharged or the battery
has been disconnected.

(13.8V is recommended).
External power source using 12V
battery(Except the use of dash cameras)
The use of external power acces-
sories may reduce performance and

a shut off the power of the vehicle
prior to the dash camera’s automatic
shut-down.
If the power of the car is shut off,
start the vehicle as explained above
(refer to “Over discharge of 12V bat-
tery”)
