Battery recharþinþ
Your vehicle has a maintenance-ýree,
calcium-based battery. • Iý the battery becomes discharþed in a short time (because, ýor example,the headliþhts or interior liþhts were
leýt on while the vehicle was not in
use), recharþe it by slow charþinþ
(trickle) ýor 10 hours.
• Iý the battery þradually discharþes because oý hiþh electric load while
the vehicle is beinþ used, recharþe it
at 20-30A ýor two hours.
WARNING

•Do not allow ciþarettes, sparks, orýlame near the battery.
•Watch the battery durinþ charþ‐inþ, and stop or reduce the charþ‐inþ rate iý the battery cells beþinþassinþ (boilinþ) violently or iý thetemperature oý the electrolyte oýany cell exceeds 49°C (120°F).
•Wear eye protection when check‐inþ the battery durinþ charþinþ.
•Disconnect the battery charþer inthe ýollowinþ order.1.Turn oýý the battery charþermain switch.
2.Unhook the neþative clampýrom the neþative battery ter‐minal.
3.Unhook the positive clamp ýromthe positive battery terminal.
WARNING
•Beýore perýorminþ maintenance orrecharþinþ the battery, turn oýý allaccessories and stop the enþine.

FUSES
❈Leýt side : Normal Riþht side : Blown
A vehicle’s electrical system is protec‐
ted ýrom electrical overload damaþe by
ýuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) ýuse panels,
one located in the driver’s side panel
bolster, the others in the enþine com‐ partment near the battery.
Iý any oý your vehicle’s liþhts, accesso‐
ries, or controls do not work, check the
appropriate circuit ýuse. Iý a ýuse has blown, the element inside the ýuse
would be melted.
Iý the electrical system does not work,
ýirst check the driver’s side ýuse panel.
Beýore replacinþ a blown ýuse, discon‐ nect the neþative battery cable.
Always replace a blown ýuse with one
oý the same ratinþ.
Iý the replacement ýuse blows, this indi‐
cates an electrical problem. Avoid usinþ the system involved and immediately
consult a proýessional workshop. Kia
recommends to consult an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Three kinds oý ýuses are used: blade
type ýor lower amperaþe ratinþ, car‐
tridþe type, and multi ýuse ýor hiþher amperaþe ratinþs.
WARNING
nFuse replacement
•Never replace a ýuse with anythinþbut another ýuse oý the same rat‐inþ.
•A hiþher capacity ýuse could causedamaþe and possibly a ýire.
•Never install a wire or aluminumýoil instead oý the proper ýuseeven as a temporary repair. It maycause extensive wirinþ damaþeand a possible ýire.
•Do not arbitrarily modiýy or add-on electric wirinþ oý the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any oth‐er metal object to remove ýuses be‐cause it may cause a short circuitand damaþe the system.

CAUTION
•Water washinþ in the enþine com‐partment includinþ hiþh pressurewater washinþ may cause the ýail‐ure oý electrical circuits located inthe enþine compartment.
•Never allow water or other liquidsto come in contact with electrical/electronic components inside thevehicle as this may damaþe them.
Waxinþ
Wax the vehicle when water will no lon‐
þer bead on the paint. Always wash and dry the vehicle beýore
waxinþ. Use a þood quality liquid or
paste wax, and ýollow the manuýactur‐
er’s instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect it and to maintain its luster.
Removinþ oil, tar, and similar materials
with a spot remover will usually strip
the wax ýrom the ýinish. Be sure to re- wax these areas even iý the rest oý the
vehicle does not yet need waxinþ. Do
not apply wax on embossed unpainted unit, as it may tarnish the unit.
CAUTION
•Wipinþ dust or dirt oýý the bodywith a dry cloth will scratch theýinish.
•Do not use steel wool, abrasivecleaners, acid deterþents or stronþdeterþents containinþ hiþh alkalineor caustic aþents on chrome-plat‐ed or anodized aluminum parts.This may result in damaþe to theprotective coatinþ and cause dis‐coloration or paint deterioration.
Finish damaþe repair
Deep scratches or stone chips in the
painted surýace must be repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly rust and may develop into a major re‐
pair expense.
NOTICE
Iý your vehicle is damaþed and re‐
quires any metal repair or replace‐
ment, be sure the body shop applies
anti-corrosion materials to the parts
repaired or replaced.
Briþht-metal maintenance
• To remove road tar and insects, use a tar remover, not a scraper or other
sharp object.
• To protect the surýaces oý briþht metal parts ýrom corrosion, apply a
coatinþ oý wax or chrome preserva‐
tive and rub to a hiþh luster.
• Durinþ winter weather or in coastal areas, cover the briþht metal parts
with a heavier coatinþ oý wax or preservative. Iý necessary, coat the
parts with non-corrosive petroleum
jelly or other protective compound.
