ECS (electronic controlled suspension) malfunction
warning message
If the ECS warning message may
come on, you may have a problem
with the ECS system. We recom-
mend that the system be checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.✽✽
NOTICE
 Make sure there are no objects under the vehicle before changing
the vehicle height.
 A click sound may be heard while operating ECS, but these condi-
tions are normal and indicate that
ECS is functioning properly.
 Depending on the outside temper- ature the vehicle height may be
different.
 When the vehicle is parked with one side of the vehicle lifted or vehicle
speed is suddenly accelerated/decel-
erated or the steering wheel is sud-
denly turned, the height may not
temporarily be adjusted. This is to
protect the system.
 When one side of the vehicle was lifted with a jack, the height may
not temporarily be adjusted. The
ECS will operate normally when
the engine is turned on again or
when the vehicle is accelerated.
 When the vehicle is not driven for a long period of time, vehicle
height may get low. The ECS will
operate normally when the engine
is turned on. ✽✽

NOTICE
 If the battery is discharged, the ECS warning message may comes
on to protect the system.
 When the height is adjusted repeatedly, the height may not
temporarily be adjusted for the
compressor overheats. This is to
prevent damage to related parts.

What to do in an emergency
EMERGENCY STARTING
Connect cables in numerical order
and disconnect in reverse order. Jump starting
Jump starting can be dangerous if
done incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid
harm to yourself or damage to your
vehicle or battery, follow the jump
starting procedures. If in doubt, we
strongly recommend that you have a
competent technician or towing serv-
ice jump start your vehicle.
CAUTION
Use only a 12-volt jumper sys-
tem. You can damage a 12-voltstarting motor, ignition system, and other electrical partsbeyond repair by use of a 24-volt power supply (either two12-volt batteries in series or a 24-volt motor generator set).
WARNING - Battery
• Keep all flames or sparks away from the battery. The
battery produces hydrogen
gas which may explode if
exposed to flame or sparks.
If these instructions are not fol-
lowed exactly, serious personal
injury and damage to the vehi-
cle may occur! If you are not
sure how to follow this proce-
dure, seek qualified assis-
tance. Automobile batteries
contain sulfuric acid. This is
poisonous and highly corro-
sive. When jump starting, wear
protective glasses and be care-
ful not to get acid on yourself,
your clothing or on the car.
Do not attempt to jump start the vehicle if the discharged
battery is frozen or if the elec-
trolyte level is low; the battery
may rupture or explode.
Do not allow the (+) and (-) jumper cables to touch. It maycause sparks.
The battery may rupture or explode when you jump start
with a low or frozen battery.
WARNING - Battery
Never attempt to check the elec-
trolyte level of the battery as
this may cause the battery to
rupture or explode causing seri-
ous injury.OKH065024K
