Emergency StartingJump StartingJump 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
on the next page. If in doubt, we strongly recommend
that you have a competent technician or towing service
jump start your vehicle.
Jump Starting Procedure
1. Make sure the booster battery is 12 volts and that
its negative terminal is grounded.
2. Check the electrolyte level of each of the battery
cells.
3. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not
allow the vehicles to touch.In Case Of An Emergency6-4
✽
NOTICE
Use only a 12volt jumper system. You can damage
a 12volt starting motor, ignition system, and other
electrical parts by using a 24-volt power supply
(two 12-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.
 Do not attempt to jump start vehicle if the
discharged battery is frozen or if the
electrolyte level is low; the battery may
rupture or explode.

prolonged periods without being operated. Use the
following procedures before parking the vehicle for a
prolonged period.

In Case Of An Emergency6-14TowingIf emergency towing is necessary, we recommend
having it done by an Authorized Kia Dealer or a
competent tow-truck service. Proper lifting and towing
procedures are necessary to prevent damage to the
vehicle. Provincial and local laws applicable to towing
vehicles must be followed.
As a general rule, towed vehicles should be pulled with
the driving wheels off the ground. If excessive damage
or other conditions prevent towing the vehicle with the
driving wheels off the ground, use wheel dollies.
With either an automatic or manual transaxle:
1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC position;
2. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral);
3. Release the parking brake.
✽
NOTICE
Do not tow the vehicle backward with the front
wheels on the ground. This may cause internal
damage to the transaxle.

6-19 Changing Tires
Jacking Instructions
The jack is provided for emergency tire changing only.
Follow jacking instructions to reduce the possibility of
personal injury.Tire Replacement
1. Park on a level surface and set the parking brake
firmly.
2. Set the automatic transaxle in P (Park), or shift the
manual transaxle into R (Reverse).
3. Activate the hazard warning flasher.
4. Remove the wheel lug nut wrench, jack, jack
handle, and spare tire from the vehicle.
5. Block both the front and rear of the wheel that is
diagonally opposite the jack position.
WARNING - Changing Tires
 Never attempt vehicle repairs or a tire
change in the traffic lanes of a public road or
highway. Always move the vehicle completely
off the road and onto the shoulder before
trying to change a tire. If you cannot find a
firm, level place off the road, call a towing
service company for assistance.
 Do not exceed the maximum permissible
load of the jack: 600 kg. (1,320 lbs).
 Be sure to use the correct front or rear
jacking positions on the vehicle; never use
the bumpers or any other part of the vehicle
for jack support.
 Never allow any portion of your body to get
beneath the vehicle while using the jack.
 Do not start or run the engine while the
vehicle is supported by the jack.

In Case Of An Emergency6-22
Once the lug nuts have been tightened, lower the
vehicle fully to the ground and continue to tighten the
lug nuts until they are completely secured.
If you are unsure of the tightness of the wheel lug nuts,
have them checked at the nearest service station. The
specified tightening torque is 103 N.
m (76 ft. lb.).
CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on the wheel studs
and nuts. During wheel removal, make certain
that the same nuts removed are reinstalled - or, if
replaced, that nuts with metric threads and the
same configuration are used. Installation of a non-
metric thread nut on a metric stud or vice-versa
will not secure the wheel to the hub properly and
will damage the stud so that it must be replaced.
Be sure to use extreme care in checking for thread
style before installing aftermarket lug nuts or
wheels. If in doubt, consult an Authorized Kia
Dealer. Damaged studs may result in wheel loss
and personal injury.
10. Remove the lug nuts by turning them
counterclockwise, then remove the wheel.
11. Mount the spare tire into position and tighten the
nuts by hand. Install the lug nuts with the beveled
edge inward.
12. Turn the jack handle counterclockwise and lower
the vehicle until it touches the ground. Tighten the
lug nuts firmly in an “X’’ pattern.
