Emergency starting

Emergency starting

When the vehicle will not start
because of low battery power, you
may need to jump start the vehicle.

Jump starting

Connect cables in numerical order
and disconnect in reverse order.

Jump starting can be dangerous if
done incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid
harm to yourself or damage to your
vehicle or battery, follow these jump
starting procedures. If in doubt, we
strongly recommend that you have
a competent technician or towing
service jump start your vehicle.

WARNING

Battery
Never attempt to check the electro-
lyte level of the battery as this may
cause the battery to rupture or
explode.

WARNING

Frozen batteries
Do not attempt to jump start the
vehicle if the discharged battery is
frozen as the battery may rupture
or explode.

WARNING

Battery
Keep all flames or sparks away from
the battery. The battery produces
hydrogen gas which will explode if
exposed to flame or sparks.

WARNING

Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable
from the negative terminal of the
booster battery to the negative ter-
minal of the discharged battery,
directly. This can cause the dis-
charged battery to overheat and
crack, degradation.
Make sure to connect one end of the
jumper cable to the negative termi-
nal of the booster battery, and the
other end to a metallic point, far
away from the battery.

WARNING

Sulfuric acid risk
Automobile batteries contain sulfu-
ric acid. When jump starting your

What to do in an emergency

Emergency starting

vehicle, be careful not to get sulfuric
acid on yourself, your clothing, or on
the vehicle. This acid is poisonous
and highly corrosive.

Jump-starting

1. Make sure the booster battery is

12-volt and that its negative ter-
minal 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 ter-
minal of the discharged battery
(1), then connect the other end to
the positive terminal of the
booster battery (2).
Proceed to connect one end of the
other jumper cable to the nega-
tive terminal of the booster bat-
tery (3), then the other end to a
solid, stationary, metallic point
away from the battery (4).
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the cor-
rect battery terminals or the cor-
rect ground. Do not lean over the
battery when making connec-
tions.

5. Start vehicle with the booster

battery and let it run at 2,000
rpm, then start the vehicle with
the discharged battery.

If the cause of your battery dis-
charging is not apparent, you should
have your vehicle checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.

NOTICE

Make sure to connect one end of the
jumper cable to the negative termi-
nal of the booster battery, and the
other end to a metallic point, far
away from the battery.

Push-starting

Your Manual Transmission-equipped
vehicle should not be push-started
because it might damage the emis-
sion control system. Vehicles
equipped with Dual Clutch Trans-
mission/Intelligent Variable Trans-
mission cannot be push-started.
Follow the directions in this section
for jump-starting.

WARNING

Tow starting vehicle
Never tow a vehicle to start it.
When the engine starts, the vehicle
can suddenly surge forward and
could cause a collision with the tow
vehicle.

If the engine overheats

If the engine overheats

If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss
of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine will probably be
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 (for

Intelligent Variable Transmission)
or in Neutral for (Manual Trans-
mission) and set the parking
brake.

3. If the air conditioning is on, turn it

off.

4. If engine coolant is running out

under the vehicle or steam is
coming out from underneath the
hood, stop the engine. Do not
open the hood until the coolant
has stopped running or the
steaming has stopped.

5. 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.
1)If the fan is not running, turn

the engine off.

6. Check to see if the water pump

drive belt is missing.
1)If it is not missing, check to see

that it is tight.

2)If the drive belt seems to be

satisfactory, 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

Under the hood

While the engine is running,
keep hair, hands and clothing
away from moving parts
such as the fan and drive
belts to prevent injury.

7. If the water pump drive belt is

broken or engine coolant is leak-
ing out, stop the engine immedi-
ately and call the nearest
authorized Kia dealer for assis-
tance.

8. If you cannot find the cause of

the overheating, wait until the
engine temperature has returned
to normal. If coolant has been
lost, carefully add coolant to the
reservoir to bring the fluid level in
the reservoir up to the halfway
mark.

9. Proceed with caution, keeping

alert for further signs of over-
heating. If overheating happens
again, call an authorized Kia
dealer for assistance.

WARNING

Radiator cap

Do not remove the radiator
cap when the engine is hot.
This may result in coolant

being blown out of the opening and
cause serious burns.

Serious loss of coolant indicates
there is a leak in the cooling system
and this should be checked as soon
as possible by an authorized Kia
dealer.

Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)

The tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem detects the pressure of vehi-
cle's tires and displays it on the LCD
display.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Tire Pressure Indicator
䳜 You can check the tire pressure in

the assist mode on the cluster.
- Refer to "User settings mode"

on page 4-57.

䳜 Tire pressure is displayed 1~2

minutes later after driving.

䳜 If tire pressure is not displayed

when the vehicle is stopped,
"Drive to display" message dis-
plays. After driving, check the tire
pressure.

䳜 You can change the tire pressure

unit in the user settings mode on
the cluster.
- kPa, psi, bar (Refer to "User

settings mode" on page 4-57).

NOTICE

䳜 The tire pressure may change due

to factors such as parking condi-
tion, driving style, and altitude
above sea level.

䳜 The tire pressure shown on the

dashboard may differ from the
tire pressure measured by tire
pressure gauge.

Effective Use of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)

Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the infla-
tion pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle

placard or tire inflation pressure
label.

(If your vehicle has tires of a differ-
ent size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should deter-
mine the proper tire inflation pres-
sure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more
of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle's handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver's respon-
sibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger illu-
mination of the TPMS low tire pres-
sure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator
to indicate when the system is not

11

What to do in an emergency

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly.

Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function prop-
erly.

NOTICE

If any of the below happens, have
the system checked by an autho-
rized Kia dealer.
1. The low tire pressure telltale /

TPMS malfunction indicator does
not illuminate for 3 seconds when
the ignition switch is turned to

the ON position or engine is run-
ning.

2. The TPMS malfunction indicator

remains illuminated after blinking
for approximately 1 minute.

3. The Low tire pressure position

telltale remains illuminated.

Low tire pressure telltale

Low tire pressure position telltale

When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illu-
minated, one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated.

If the telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible.

Inflate the tires to the proper pres-
sure as indicated on the vehicle's
placard or tire inflation pressure
label located on the driver's side

center pillar outer panel. If you can-
not reach a service station or if the
tire cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tire with
the spare tire.

Then the TPMS malfunction indica-
tor and the Low Tire Pressure tell-
tale may turn on and illuminate
after restarting and about 20 min-
utes of continuous driving before
you have the low pressure tire
repaired and replaced on the vehicle.

In winter or cold weather, the low
tire pressure telltale may be illumi-
nated if the tire pressure was
adjusted to the recommended tire
inflation pressure in warm weather.
It does not mean your TPMS is mal-
functioning because the decreased
temperature leads to a proportional
lowering of tire pressure.

When you drive your vehicle from a
warm area to a cold area or from a
cold area to a warm area, or the
outside temperature is greatly
higher or lower, you should check
the tire inflation pressure and adjust
the tires to the recommended tire
inflation pressure.

When filling tires with more air, con-
ditions to turn off the low tire pres-
sure telltale may not be met. This is
because a tire inflator has a margin
of error in performance. The low
tire pressure telltale will be turned
off if the tire pressure is above the

recommended tire inflation pres-
sure.

WARNING

Low pressure damage
Do not drive on low pressure tires.
Significantly low tire pressure can
cause the tires to overheat and fail
making the vehicle unstable result-
ing in increased braking distances
and a loss of vehicle control.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) malfunction indicator

The low tire pressure telltale will
illuminate after it blinks for approxi-
mately one minute when there is a
problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System.

If the system is able to correctly
detect an underinflation warning at
the same time as system failure
then it will illuminate both the TPMS
malfunction and low tire pressure
position telltales e.g. if Front Left
sensor fails, the TPMS malfunction
indicator illuminates, but if the
Front Right, Rear Left, or Rear Right
tire is under-inflated, the low tire
pressure position telltales may illu-
minate together with the TPMS
malfunction indicator.

Have the system checked by an
authorized Kia dealer as soon as

possible to determine the cause of
the problem.
䳜 The TPMS malfunction indicator

may be illuminated if the vehicle is
moving around electric power
supply cables or radios transmit-
ters such as at police stations,
government and public offices,
broadcasting stations, military
installations, airports, or trans-
mitting towers, etc. This can
interfere with normal operation
of the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS).

䳜 The TPMS malfunction indicator

may be illuminated if snow chains
are used or some separate elec-
tronic devices such as notebook
computer, mobile charger, remote
starter or navigation etc., are
used in the vehicle. This can inter-
fere with normal operation of the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).

Tire replacement with TPMS

If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will come on. Have
the flat tire repaired by an autho-
rized Kia dealer as soon as possible
or replace the flat tire with the
spare tire.

CAUTION

Repair Agents
Never use a puncture-repairing
agent not approved by Kia to repair
and/or inflate a low pressure tire.
The sealant not approved by Kia
may damage the tire pressure sen-
sor.

Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You
must use TPMS specific wheels. It is
recommended that you always have
your tires serviced by an authorized
Kia dealer.

Even if you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will remain on until
the low pressure tire is repaired and
placed on the vehicle.

After you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the TPMS
malfunction indicator may illumi-
nate after a few minutes because
the TPMS sensor mounted on the
spare wheel is not initiated.

Once the low pressure tire is inflated
again to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or the
TPMS sensor mounted on the
replaced spare wheel is initiated by
an authorized Kia dealer, the TPMS
malfunction indicator and the low

tire pressure telltale will turn off
within a few minutes of driving.

If the indicator has not disappeared
after a few minutes of driving,
please visit an authorized Kia dealer.

If an original mounted tire is
replaced with the spare tire, the
TPMS sensor on the replaced spare
wheel should be initiated and the
TPMS sensor on the original
mounted wheel should be deacti-
vated. If the TPMS sensor on the
original mounted wheel located in
the spare tire carrier still activates,
the tire pressure monitoring system
may not operate properly. Have the
tire with TPMS serviced or replaced
by an authorized Kia dealer.

You may not be able to identify a
low tire by simply looking at it.
Always use a good quality tire pres-
sure gauge to measure the tire's
inflation pressure. Please note that
a tire that is hot (from being driven)
will have a higher pressure mea-
surement than a tire that is cold
(from sitting stationary for at least
3 hours and driven less than 1.6 km
(1 mile) during that 3 hour period).

Allow the tire to cool before mea-
suring the inflation pressure. Always
be sure the tire is cold before inflat-
ing to the recommended pressure.

A cold tire means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven

for less than 1.6 km (1 mile) in that
3 hour period.

Never use tire sealant if your vehicle
is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. The liquid seal-
ant can damage the tire pressure
sensors.
䳜 The TPMS cannot alert you to

severe and sudden tire damage
caused by external factors such
as nails or road debris.

䳜 If you feel any vehicle instability,

immediately take your foot off
the accelerator, apply the brakes
gradually and with light force, and
slowly move to a safe position off
the road.

NOTICE

Protecting TPMS
Tampering with, modifying, or dis-
abling the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) components may
interfere with the system's ability
to warn the driver of low tire pres-
sure conditions and/or TPMS mal-
functions. Tampering with,
modifying, or disabling the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may void the warranty
for that portion of the vehicle.

the wheel slightly and get the top
hole in the wheel lined up with the
top stud.

12.Jiggle the wheel back and forth

until the wheel can slide over the
other studs.
Wheels may have sharp edges.
Handle them carefully to avoid
possible severe injury. Before put-
ting the wheel into place, be sure
that there is nothing on the hub
or wheel (such as mud, tar, gravel,
etc.) that prevents the wheel
from fitting solidly against the
hub.

WARNING

Installing a wheel
Make sure the wheel makes good
contact with the hub when installed.
If the contact of the mounting sur-
face between the wheel and hub is
not good, the wheel nuts could come
loose and cause the loss of a wheel.
Loss of a wheel may result in loss of
control of the vehicle.

13.To install the wheel, hold it on

the studs, put the wheel nuts on
the studs and tighten them finger
tight.

14.Jiggle the tire to be sure it is

completely seated, then tighten
the nuts as much as possible with
your fingers again.

15.Insert the wrench into the jack

and lower the vehicle to the
ground by turning the wheel nut
wrench counterclockwise.

16.Position the wrench as shown in

the drawing and tighten the
wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is
seated completely over the nut.
Do not stand on the wrench han-
dle or use an extension pipe over
the wrench handle.

17.Go around the wheel, tightening

every nut following the numerical
sequence shown in the image
until they are all tight. Double-
check each nut for tightness.

18.After changing wheels, have an

authorized Kia dealer tighten the
wheel nuts to their proper torque
as soon as possible.

19.To prevent the jack, wheel lug

nut wrench and spare tire from
rattling while the vehicle is in
motion, store them properly.

20.Check the inflation pressures as

soon as possible after installing
the spare tire. Adjust it to the
specified pressure, if necessary.

If you have a flat tire

If you have a tire gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure.
If the pressure is lower than recom-
mended, drive slowly to the nearest
service station and inflate to the
correct pressure. If it is too high,
adjust it until it is correct. Always
reinstall the valve cap after checking
or adjusting the tire pressure. If the
cap is not replaced, dust and dirt
may get into the tire valve and air
may leak from the tire. If you lose a
valve cap, buy another and install it
as soon as possible.

After you have changed the wheels,
always secure the flat tire in its
place and return the jack and tools
to their proper storage locations.

CAUTION

Reusing lug nuts
Make certain during wheel removal
that the same nuts that were
removed are reinstalled - or, if
replaced, that nuts with metric
threads and the same chamfer con-
figuration are used. Your vehicle has
metric threads on the wheel studs
and nuts. Installation of a non-met-
ric thread nut on a metric stud will
not secure the wheel to the hub
properly and will damage the stud
so that it must be replaced.

Note that most lug nuts do not have
metric threads. Be sure to use
extreme care in checking for thread
style before installing aftermarket
lug nuts or wheels. If in doubt, con-
sult an authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING

Wheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they may
lose their ability to retain the wheel.
This could lead to the loss of the
wheel and a collision resulting in
serious injuries.

Important - use of compact spare
tire

Your vehicle is equipped with a com-
pact spare tire. This compact spare
tire takes up less space than a regu-
lar-size tire. This tire is smaller than
a conventional tire and is designed
for temporary use only.
䳜 You should drive carefully when

the compact spare is in use. The
compact spare should be replaced
by the proper conventional tire
and rim at the first opportunity.

䳜 The operation of this vehicle is

not recommended with more than
one compact spare tire in use at
the same time.

What to do in an emergency

If you have a flat tire

WARNING

Spare tire
The compact spare tire is for emer-
gency use only. Do not operate your
vehicle on this compact spare at
speeds over 80 km/h (50 mph). The
original tire should be repaired or
replaced as soon as possible to avoid
failure of the spare possibly leading
to bodily injury or death.

The compact spare should be
inflated to 420 kPa (60 psi).

NOTICE

Check the inflation pressure after
installing the spare tire. Adjust it to
the specified pressure, as neces-
sary.

When using a compact spare tire,
observe the following precautions:
䳜 Under no circumstances should

you exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a
higher speed could damage the
tire.

䳜 Ensure that you drive slowly

enough for the road conditions to
avoid all hazards. Any road haz-
ard, such as a pothole or debris,
could seriously damage the com-
pact spare.

䳜 Any continuous road use of this

tire could result in tire failure, loss
of vehicle control, and possible
personal injury.

䳜 Do not exceed the vehicle's maxi-

mum load rating or the load-car-
rying capacity shown on the
sidewall of the compact spare
tire.

䳜 Avoid driving over obstacles. The

compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately
25 mm (1 inch), which could result
in damage to the vehicle.

䳜 Do not take this vehicle through

an automatic vehicle wash while
the compact spare tire is installed.

䳜 Do not use the compact spare tire

on any other vehicle because this
tire has been designed especially
for your vehicle.

䳜 The compact spare tire's tread life

is shorter than a regular tire.
Inspect your compact spare tire
regularly and replace worn com-
pact spare tires with the same
size and design, mounted on the
same wheel.

䳜 The compact spare tire should not

be used on any other wheels, nor
should standard tires, snow tires,
wheel covers or trim rings be used
with the compact spare wheel. If
such use is attempted, damage to
these items or other vehicle com-
ponents may occur.

䳜 Do not use more than one com-

pact spare tire at a time.

䳜 Do not tow a trailer while the

compact spare tire is installed.
