7. Connect the other end of the sec-
ond jumper cable to the negative (-
) chassis ground of your vehicle
(4). Do not allow the jumper cables
to contact anything except the cor-
rect battery or jumper terminals or
the correct ground. Do not lean
over the battery when making con-
nections.
8. Start the engine of the assisting
vehicle and let it run at approxi-
mately 2,000 rpm for a few min-
utes. Then start your vehicle.
If your vehicle will not start after a
few attempts, it probably requires
servicing. In this event please seek
qualified assistance. If the cause of
your battery discharging is not
apparent, have your vehicle checked
by a professional workshop. Kia rec-
ommends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
Push-starting
Vehicles equipped with automatic
transaxle cannot be push-started.
Follow the directions in this section
for jump-starting.
What to do in an emergency
CAUTION - Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper
cable from the negative terminal
of the booster battery to the
negative terminal of the dis-
charged battery. This can cause
the discharged battery to over-
heat and crack, releasing bat-
tery acid. Make sure to connect
one end of the jumper cable to
the negative terminal of the
booster battery, and the other
end to a metallic point, far away
from the battery.
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle to start it
because the sudden surge for-
ward when the engine starts
could cause a collision with the
tow vehicle.
