BATTERY
For best battery service
• Keep the battery securely mounted.
• Keep the battery top clean and dry.• Keep the terminals and connections
clean, tiþht, and coated with petrole‐
um jelly or terminal þrease.
• Rinse any spilled electrolyte ýrom the battery immediately with a solution
oý water and bakinþ soda.
• Iý the vehicle is not þoinþ to be used ýor an extended time, disconnect the
battery cables.
NOTICE
Basically equipped battery is main‐
tenance ýree type. Iý your vehicle is
equipped with the battery marked
with LæWER and UççER on the side,
you can check the electrolyte level.
The electrolyte level should be be‐
tween LæWER and UççER. Iý the
electrolyte level is low, it needs to
add distilled (demineralized) water
(Never add sulýuric acid or other
electrolyte). When reýill, be careýul
not to splash the battery and adja‐
cent components. And do not overýill
the battery cells. It can cause corro‐
sion on other parts. Aýter then en‐

Kia recommendsto visit an authorized Kiadealer/service partner.•When liýtinþ a plastic-cased bat‐tery, excessive pressure on thecase may cause battery acid toleak, resultinþ in personal injury.Liýt with a battery carrier or withyour hands on opposite corners.
•Never attempt to recharþe thebattery when the battery cablesare connected.
•The electrical iþnition systemworks with hiþh voltaþe. Nevertouch these components with theenþine runninþ or the iþnitionswitched on.
Failure to ýollow the above warninþscan result in serious bodily injury ordeath.
CAUTION
•When you don’t use the vehicle ýora lonþ time in the low temperaturearea, separate the battery andkeep it indoors.
•Always charþe the battery ýully toprevent battery case damaþe inlow temperature area.

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
nRecharþinþ battery
When recharþinþ the battery, ob‐serve the ýollowinþ precautions:•The battery must be removedýrom the vehicle and placed in anarea with þood ventilation.
•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.
•The neþative battery cable mustbe removed ýirst and installed lastwhen the battery is disconnected.
•Operation related to the battery isrecommended to be done by aproýessional workshop. Kia recom‐mends to visit an authorized Kiadealer/service partner.

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.

Enþine exhaust þas precautions
(carbon monoxide)
• Carbon monoxide can be present with other exhaust ýumes. Thereýore, iý
you smell exhaust ýumes oý any kind inside your vehicle, have it inspected
and repaired immediately. Iý you ever
suspect exhaust ýumes are cominþ
into your vehicle, drive it only with all

ately.
WARNING
nExhaust
Enþine exhaust þases contain carbonmonoxide (CO). Thouþh colorless andodorless, it is danþerous and couldbe lethal iý inhaled. Follow the in‐structions on this paþe to avoid COpoisoninþ.
• Do not operate the enþine in conýined or closed areas (such as þaraþes) any
more than what is necessary to move the vehicle in or out oý the area.
• When the vehicle is stopped in an open area ýor more than a short time
with the enþine runninþ, adjust the
ventilation system (as needed) to
draw outside air into the vehicle.
• Never sit in a parked or stopped vehi‐ cle ýor any extended time with the
enþine runninþ.
• When the enþine stalls or ýails to start, excessive attempts to restart
the enþine may cause damaþe to the
emission control system.

•A hot exhaust system can iþniteýlammable items under your vehi‐cle. Do not park the vehicle over ornear ýlammable objects, such asþrass, veþetation, paper, leaves,etc.
•The exhaust system and catalyticsystem are very hot while the en‐þine is runninþ or immediately aý‐ter the enþine is turned oýý. Keepaway ýrom the exhaust systemand catalytic, you may þet burned.Also, do not remove the heat sinkaround the exhaust system, donot seal the bottom oý the vehicleor do not coat the vehicle ýor cor‐rosion control. It may present aýire risk under certain conditions.
