IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
If the engine doesn't turn over
or turns over slowly
1. If your vehicle has an automatictransaxle, be sure the shift lever is
in N (Neutral) or P (Park) and the
emergency brake is set.
2. Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
3. Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you
operate the starter, the battery is
discharged.
4. Check the starter connections to be sure they are securely tightened.
5. Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it. See instructions for L

Jump starting procedure
1. Make sure the booster battery is12-volt and that its negative termi‐ nal is grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to
come in contact.
3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the illus‐
tration. First connect one end of a
jumper cable to the positive termi‐
nal of the discharged battery (1),
then connect the other end to the
positive terminal on the booster
battery (2).
Proceed to connect one end of the other jumper cable to the negative
terminal of the booster battery (3),
then the other end to a solid, sta‐
tionary, metallic point (for example,
the engine lifting bracket) away
from the battery (4). Do not con‐
nect it to or near any part that
moves when the engine is cranked.
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the correct
battery terminals or the correct
ground. Do not lean over the bat‐ tery when making connections.CAUTION
nBattery cables
Do not connect the jumper cablefrom the negative terminal of thebooster battery to the negative ter‐minal of the discharged battery. Thiscan cause the discharged battery tooverheat and crack, releasing bat‐tery acid.Make sure to connect one end of thejumper cable to the negative termi‐nal of the booster battery, and theother end to a metallic point, faraway from the battery.
5. Start the engine of the vehicle with the booster battery and let it run
at 2,000 rpm, then start the engine
of the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
If the cause of your battery discharging
is not apparent, have the systemchecked by a professional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Push-starting
Your manual transaxle-equipped vehi‐
cle should not be push-started because it might damage the emission control
system.
Vehicles equipped with automatic
transaxle cannot be push-started.
Follow the directions in this section for L

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you will experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock‐
ing, the engine is probably too hot. If
this happens, you should: 1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in P (automatic transaxle) or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking
brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out un‐ der the vehicle or steam is coming
out from the hood, stop the engine.
Do not open the hood until the
coolant has stopped running or the
steaming has stopped. If there is no
visible loss of engine coolant and no
steam, leave the engine running
and check to be sure the engine
cooling fan is operating. If the fan is
not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not
missing, check to see that it is
tight.
If the drive belt seems to be satis‐
factory, check for coolant leaking
from the radiator, hoses or under
the vehicle. (If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for
cold water to be draining from it
when you stop).
WARNING
While the engine is running, keephair, hands and clothing away frommoving parts such as the fan anddrive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is bro‐ ken or engine coolant is leaking out,
stop the engine immediately and
call a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to call an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator capwhen the engine is hot. This can al‐low coolant to blow out of the open‐ing and cause serious burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor‐
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,
carefully add coolant to the reser‐
voir to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call a
professional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to call an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
•Serious loss of coolant indicatesthere is a leak in the cooling sys‐tem. In this case, have the sys‐tem checked by a professionalworkshop. Kia recommends tovisit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
•When the engine overheats fromlow engine coolant, suddenlyadding engine coolant may causecracks in the engine. To preventdamage, add engine coolantslowly in small quantities.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (IF EQUIPPED)
0:##
0:#
Low tire pressure telltale (1) / TPMS
SET switch (2)
System Overview
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) senses change in radius of the
tire. If the tire pressure decreases be‐
low the recommended pressure, the system warning light will be illumina‐
ted.
For the system to function properly, it
is the driver’s responsibility to set the system by following accurate proce‐
dure and set current tire pressure.
The warning light will illuminate on the
cluster when one or more of your tires is under-inflated after the TPMS is set.
The warning light will also illuminate to
warn the driver of system malfunction.
Please refer to the above image (1) for
further information.
TPMS Setting
The driver can set the TPMS by follow‐
ing procedures below: 1. Inflate all tires to the recommen‐ ded pressure.
2. Start the engine, make sure the ve‐ hicle is not moving, and press the
TPMS switch (2) left side on the
driver’s seat for over 3 seconds.
3. Check if the (
) warning indicator
blinks for 4 seconds.
4. Check if following message appears on the cluster (if equipped).
❈ If the warning light does not blink
or the message does not pop up,
perform the process again from 2.
For recommended tire pressure of this
vehicle, refer to L

12. Detach the hose from the sealantbottle connector and from the tire
valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor‐ age location in the vehicle.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide poisoning and suf‐focation is possible if the engine isleft running in a poorly ventilated orunventilated location (such as insidea building).
Distributing the sealant
13. Immediately drive approximately 7~10km (4~6miles or, about 10min)
to evenly distribute the sealant in
the tire.
CAUTION
Do not exceed a speed of 60 km/h(35 mph). If possible, do not fall be‐low a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph).
(Continued)
(Continued)
While driving, if you experience anyunusual vibration, ride disturbanceor noise, reduce your speed anddrive with caution until you cansafely pull off of the side of theroad. Call for road side service ortowing.When you use the Tire Mobility Kit,the wheel may be stained by seal‐ant. Therefore, remove the wheelstained by sealant and have the ve‐hicle inspected at a professionalworkshop. Kia recommends to visitan authorized Kia dealer/servicepartner.
Checking the tire inflation
pressure
1. After driving approximately 7~10 km (4~6 miles or about
10 minutes), stop at a suitable lo‐
cation.
2. Connect the filling hose (3) of the compressor (clip mounted side) di‐
rectly and then connect the filling
hose (3) (opposite side) to the tire
valve. 3. Connect between compressor and
the vehicle battery using the cable
and connectors.
4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to 200 kPa (29 psi). With the ignition
switched on, proceed as follows.
-
To increase the inflation pressure:
Switch on the compressor, position I.
To check the current inflation pres‐
sure setting, briefly switch off the
compressor.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run formore than 10 minutes, otherwisethe device will overheat and may bedamaged.
