What to do in an emergency

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILE DRIVING

If the engine stalls at a crossroad

or crossing

If you have a flat tire while driving If engine stalls while driving

If a tire goes flat while you are driving:

1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping

a straight line. Move cautiously off the

road to a safe place.

• If the engine stalls at a crossroad or

crossing, set the shift lever in the N

(Neutral) position and then push the

vehicle to a safe place.

1.Take your foot off the accelerator pedal

and let the vehicle slow down while

driving straight ahead. Do not apply the

brakes immediately or attempt to pull

off the road as this may cause a loss of

control. When the vehicle has slowed

to such a speed that it is safe to do so,

brake carefully and pull off the road.

Drive off the road as far as possible

and park on firm, level ground. If you

are on a divided highway, do not park

in the median area between the two

traffic lanes.

2. Turn on your emergency flashers.

3. Try to start the engine again. If your

vehicle does not start, we recommend

that you consult an authorized Kia

dealer.

• If your vehicle has a manual transaxle

not equipped with a ignition lock

switch, the vehicle can move forward

by shifting to the 2(Second) or 3(Third)

gear and then turning the starter with-

out depressing the clutch pedal.

2.When the vehicle is stopped, turn on

your emergency hazard flashers, set

the parking brake and put the transaxle

in P (automatic transaxle) or reverse

(manual transaxle).

3.Have all passengers get out of the

vehicle. Be sure they all get out on the

side of the vehicle that is away from

traffic.

4.When changing a flat tire, follow the

instruction provided later in this chap-

ter.

What to do in an emergency

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START

If engine doesn't turn over or

turns over slowly

If engine turns over normally but

does not start

1. If your vehicle has an automatic

transaxle, be sure the shift lever is in N

(Neutral) or P (Park) and the emer-

gency brake is set.

1. Check fuel level.

2. With the ignition switch in the LOCK/

OFF position, check all connectors at

ignition, coil and spark plugs.

Reconnect any that may be discon-

nected or loose.

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.

3. Check the fuel line in the engine com-

partment.

4. If the engine still does not start, we

recommend that you call an author-

ized Kia dealer.

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 "Jump starting".

WARNING

If the engine does not start, do not

push or pull the vehicle to start it.

This could result in a collision or

cause other damage. In addition,

push or pull starting may cause the

catalytic converter (if equipped) to

be overloaded and create a fire haz-

ard.

EMERGENCY STARTING

■ Engine compartment

Jump starting

WARNING - Battery

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 proce-

dures. If in doubt, we strongly recom-

mend that you have a competent techni-

cian or towing service jump start your

vehicle.

Jumper Cables

• Keep all flames or sparks away

from the battery. The battery pro-

duces 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 vehicle

may occur! If you are not sure how

to follow this procedure, seek

qualified assistance. Automobile

batteries contain sulfuric acid.

This is poisonous and highly cor-

rosive. When jump starting, wear

protective glasses and be careful

not to get acid on yourself, your

clothing or on the vehicle.

Discharged battery

CAUTION

Booster battery

1VQA4001

Use only a 12-volt jumper system.

You can damage a 12-volt starting

motor, ignition system, and other

electrical parts beyond repair by

use of a 24-volt power supply (either

two 12-volt batteries in series or a

24-volt motor generator set).

Connect cables in numerical order and

disconnect in reverse order.

• Do not attempt to jump start the

vehicle if the discharged battery

is frozen or if the electrolyte level

is low; the battery may rupture or

explode.

WARNING - Battery

Never attempt to check the elec-

trolyte level of the battery as this

may cause the battery to rupture or

explode causing serious injury.

• Do not allow the (+) and (-)

jumper cables to touch. It may

cause sparks.

• The battery may rupture or

explode when you jump start with

a low or frozen battery.

What to do in an emergency

Jump starting procedure

4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact

sequence shown in the illustration.

First connect one end of a jumper

cable to the positive terminal 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, stationary, 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. Make

sure that there is no contact between

the bodywork of the two vehicles; oth-

erwise, there is the danger of short cir-

cuits.

✽

NOTICE

If the battery is discharged, the engine

can be started using a battery of anoth-

er vehicle and two jumper cables. Only

use jumper cables with fully insulated

clamp handles.

To prevent personal injury or damage to

both vehicles, adhere strictly to the fol-

lowing procedure.

CAUTION - AGM battery

(if equipped)

• Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) bat-

teries are maintenance-free and

we recommend that the AGM bat-

teries be serviced by an author-

ized Kia dealer. For charging your

AGM battery, use only fully auto-

matic battery chargers that are

specially developed for AGM bat-

teries.

1. Make sure the booster battery is 12-

volt and that its negative terminal is

grounded.

• When replacing the AGM battery,

we recommend that you use parts

for replacement from an author-

ized Kia dealer.

2. If the booster battery is in another

vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to

touch.

3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical

loads.

• Do not open or remove the cap on

top of the battery.This may cause

leaks of internal electrolyte that

could result in severe injury.

Do not allow the jumper cables to con-

tact anything except the correct battery

terminals or the correct ground. Do not

lean over the battery when making

connections.

• If the AGM battery is reconnected

or replaced, ISG function will not

operate immediately.

If you want to use the ISG func-

tion, the battery sensor needs to

be calibrated for approximately 4

hours with the ignition off.

CAUTION - Battery cables

Do not connect the jumper cable from

the negative terminal of the booster

battery to the negative terminal of the

discharged battery. This can cause

the discharged battery to overheat

and crack, releasing battery acid.

What to do in an emergency

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 vehi-

cle with the discharged battery. If the

first starting attempt is not successful,

wait a few minutes before making

another attempt in order to allow the

discharged battery to recharge.

Push-starting

Your manual transaxle-equipped vehicle

should not be push-started because it

might damage the emission control sys-

tem. Vehicles equipped with automatic

transaxle cannot be push-started. Follow

the directions in this chapter for "Jump-

starting".

If the cause of your battery discharging is

not apparent, we recommend that the

system be checked by an authorized Kia

dealer.

WARNING

Never tow a vehicle to start it

because the sudden surge forward

when the engine starts could cause

a collision with the tow vehicle.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

If your temperature gauge indicates over-

heating, you will experience a loss of

power, or hear loud pinging or knocking,

the engine is probably too hot. If this hap-

pens, you should:

6.If you cannot find the cause of the

overheating, wait until the engine tem-

perature has returned to normal. Then,

if coolant has been lost, carefully add

coolant to the reservoir to bring the

fluid level in the reservoir up to the

halfway mark.

WARNING

While the engine is running, keep

hair, hands and clothing away from

moving parts such as the fan and

drive belts to prevent injury.

1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it

is safe to do so.

2. Place the shift lever in P (automatic

7.Proceed with caution, keeping alert for

further signs of overheating. If over-

heating happens again, we recom-

mend that you call an authorized Kia

the air conditioning is on, turn it off.

3. If engine coolant is running out under

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 operat-

ing. If the fan is not running, turn the

engine off.

CAUTION

WARNING

Serious loss of coolant indicates

there is a leak in the cooling system

and we recommend that the system

be checked by an authorized Kia

dealer.

Do not remove the radiator cap

when the engine is hot. This can

allow coolant to blow out of the

opening and cause serious burns.

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 satisfactory, check for

coolant leaking from the radiator,

hoses or under the vehicle. (If the air

conditioning had been in use, it is nor-

mal for cold water to be draining from

it when you stop).

10. To reinstall the wheel, hold it on

the studs, put the wheel nuts on

the studs and tighten them finger

tight.The nuts should be installed

with their tapered small diameter

ends directed inward. Jiggle the

tire to be sure it is completely

seated, then tighten the nuts as

much as possible with your fin-

gers again.

WARNING

• Wheels and wheel covers may

have sharp edges. Handle

them carefully to avoid possi-

ble severe injury.

• Before putting the wheel into

place, be sure that there is

nothing on the hub or wheel

(such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.)

that interferes with the wheel

from fitting solidly against the

hub. If there is, remove it. If

the contact of the mounting

surface between the wheel

and hub is not good, the

wheel nuts could come loose

and cause loss of a wheel.

Loss of a wheel may result in

losing control of the vehicle.

This may cause serious injury

or death.

11. Lower the vehicle to the ground

by turning the wheel nut wrench

counterclockwise.

OGD061013

Then 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 handle or use an

extension pipe over the wrench han-

dle. Go around the wheel tightening

every nut following the numerical

sequence shown in the image until

they are all tight. Then double-check

each nut for tightness. After changing

wheels, we recommend that the sys-

tem be checked by an authorized Kia

dealer.

Wheel nut tightening torque:

Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel:

9~11 kg.m (65~79 lb.ft)

CAUTION

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.

Your vehicle has metric threads

on the wheel studs and 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 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.

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 cor-

rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust it

until it is correct. Always reinstall the

valve cap after checking or adjusting

tire pressure. If the cap is not

replaced, air may leak from the tire. If

you lose a valve cap, buy another and

install it as soon as possible.

To prevent the jack, jack handle,

wheel lug nut wrench and spare tire

from rattling while the vehicle is in

motion, store them properly.

WARNING - Inadequate

spare tire pressure

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, we recommend that

you consult an authorized Kia

dealer.

Check the inflation pressures as

soon as possible after installing

the spare tire. Adjust it to the

specified pressure, if necessary.

Refer to “Tires and wheels” in

chapter 8.

After you have changed wheels,

always secure the flat tire in its place

and return the jack and tools to their

proper storage locations.

Important - use of compact spare tire

(if equipped)

When using a compact spare tire,

observe the following precautions:

WARNING

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.

The compact spare tire is for

emergency use only. Do not

operate your vehicle on this

compact spare at the speed

over 80 km/h (50 mph).The orig-

inal tire should be repaired or

replaced as soon as possible to

avoid failure of the spare possi-

bly leading to personal injury or

death.

• Under no circumstances should

you exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a

higher speed could damage the

tire.

• Ensure that you drive slowly

enough to avoid all hazards. Any

road hazard, such as a pothole or

debris, could seriously damage the

compact spare.

CAUTION

• 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.

• Any continuous road use of this tire

could result in tire failure, loss of

vehicle control, and possible per-

sonal injury.

The compact spare should be inflat-

ed to 420 kPa (60 psi).

• Do not exceed the vehicle’s maxi-

mum load rating or the load-carry-

ing capacity shown on the sidewall

of the compact spare tire.

• The operation of this vehicle

is not recommended with

more than one compact spare

tire in use at the same time.

✽

NOTICE

Check the inflation pressure after

installing the spare tire. Adjust it to

the specified pressure, as necessary.

• Avoid driving over obstacles. The

compact spare tire diameter is

smaller than the diameter of a con-

ventional tire and reduces the

ground clearance approximately

25 mm (1 inch), which could result

in damage to the vehicle.

The system of compressor and seal-

ing compound effectively and comfort-

ably seals most punctures in a pas-

senger car tire caused by nails or sim-

ilar objects and reinflates the tire.

(2) Sealant bottle

WARNING

Do not use the TireMobilityKit if

a tire is severely damaged by

driving run flat or with insuffi-

cient air pressure.

After you ensured that the tire is prop-

erly sealed you can drive cautiously

on the tire (up to 200 km (120 miles))

at a max. speed of 80 km/h (50 mph)

in order to reach a vehicle or tire deal-

er to have the tire replaced.

Only punctured areas located

within the tread region of the

CAUTION

WARNING - Low pressure

damage

In winter or cold weather, the

low tire pressure telltale may

illuminate if the tire pressure

was adjusted to the recom-

mended tire inflation pressure

in warm weather. It does not

mean yourTPMS is malfunction-

ing because the decreased tem-

perature leads to a proportional

lowering of tire pressure.

Significantly low tire pressure

makes the vehicle unstable and

can contribute to loss of vehicle

control and increased braking

distances.

The TPMS malfunction indicator 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 under infla-

tion warning at the same time as sys-

tem failure then the TPMS malfunc-

tion indicator remains illuminated after

Continued driving on low pres-

sure tires can cause the tires to

overheat and fail.

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

What to do in an emergency

You may not be able to identify a low

tire by simply looking at it. Always

use a good quality tire pressure

gauge to measure the tire's inflation

pressure. Please note that a tire that

is hot (from being driven) will have a

higher pressure measurement than a

tire that is cold (from sitting station-

ary for at least 3 hours and driven

less than 1.6 km (1 mile) during that

3 hour period).

WARNING - TPMS

WARNING - For EUROPE

• The TPMS cannot alert you to

severe and sudden tire dam-

age caused by external factors

such as nails or road debris.

• Do not modify the vehicle, it

may interfere with the TPMS

function.

• The wheels on the market do

not have a TPMS sensor.

• If you feel any vehicle instabil-

ity, 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.

For your safety, we recom-

mend that you use parts for

replacement from an author-

ized Kia dealer.

Allow the tire to cool before measur-

ing the inflation pressure. Always be

sure the tire is cold before inflating to

the recommended pressure.

• If you use the wheels on the

market, use a TPMS sensor

approved by a Kia dealer. If

your vehicle is not equipped

with a TPMS sensor or TPMS

does not work properly, you

may fail the periodic vehicle

inspection conducted in your

country.

WARNING - Protecting

TPMS

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

If towing is necessary, we recommend

you to have it done by an authorized

Kia dealer or a commercial tow truck

service.

CAUTION

• Attach a towing strap to the tow

hook.

WARNING

Use extreme caution when towing

the vehicle.

• Using a portion of the vehicle

other than the tow hooks for tow-

ing may damage the body of your

vehicle.

• Avoid sudden starts or erratic

driving maneuvers which would

place excessive stress on the

emergency towing hook and tow-

ing cable or chain. The hook and

towing cable or chain may break

and cause serious injury or dam-

age.

If towing service is not available in an

emergency, your vehicle may be tem-

porarily towed using a cable or chain

secured to the emergency towing hook

under the front (or rear) of the vehicle.

Use extreme caution when towing the

vehicle. A driver must be in the vehicle to

steer it and operate the brakes.

• Use only a cable or chain specifi-

cally intended for use in towing

vehicles. Securely fasten the

cable or chain to the towing hook

provided.

• If the disabled vehicle is unable

to be moved, do not forcibly con-

tinue the towing. We recommend

that you contact an authorized

Kia dealer or a commercial tow

truck service for assistance.

Towing in this manner may be done only

on hard-surfaced roads for a short dis-

tance and at low speed. Also, the wheels,

axles, power train, steering and brakes

must all be in good condition.

• Before emergency towing, check that

the hook is not broken or damaged.

• Fasten the towing cable or chain

securely to the hook.

• Do not use the towing hooks to pull a

vehicle out of mud, sand or other con-

ditions from which the vehicle cannot

be driven out under its own power.

• Tow the vehicle as straight ahead

as possible.

• Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and

even force.

• Keep away from the vehicle dur-

ing towing.

• To avoid damaging the hook, do not

pull from the side or at a vertical angle.

Always pull straight ahead.

• Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the

vehicle doing the towing.

• The drivers of both vehicles should com-

municate with each other frequently.

• Release the parking brake.

• If the car is being towed with all

four wheels on the ground, it can

be towed only from the front. Be

sure that the transaxle is in neu-

tral. Be sure the steering is

unlocked by placing the ignition

switch in the ACC position. A driv-

er must be in the towed vehicle to

operate the steering and brakes.

• Depress the brake pedal with more

force than normal since you will have

reduced brake performance.

• More steering effort will be required

because the power steering system

will be disabled.

What to do in an emergency

EMERGENCY COMMODITY (IF EQUIPPED)

There are some emergency commodities

in the vehicle to help you respond to the

emergency situation.

To check the tire pressure, take the fol-

lowing steps:

First aid kit

There are some items such as scissors,

bandage and adhesive tape and etc. in

the kit to give first aid to an injured per-

son.

1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap that is

located on the rim of the tire.

2. Press and hold the gauge against the

tire valve. Some air will escape as you

begin and more will escape if you don't

press the gauge in firmly.

Fire extinguisher

If there is small fire and you know how to

use the fire extinguisher, take the follow-

ing steps carefully.

Triangle reflector

Place the triangle reflector on the road to

warn oncoming vehicles during emer-

gencies, such as when the vehicle is

parked by the roadside due to any prob-

lems.

3. A firm non-leaking push will activate

the gauge.

1. Pull the pin at the top of the extin-

guisher that keeps the handle from

being accidentally pressed.

4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge to

know whether the tire pressure is low

or high.

2. Aim the nozzle toward the base of the

fire.

5. Adjust the tire pressures to the speci-

fied pressure. Refer to “Tires and

wheels” in chapter 8.

3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft) away

from the fire and squeeze the handle

to discharge the extinguisher. If you

release the handle, the discharge will

stop.

Tire pressure gauge

(If equipped)

6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.

Tires normally lose some air in day-to-

day use, and you may have to add a few

pounds of air periodically and it is not

usually a sign of a leaking tire, but of nor-

mal wear. Always check tire pressure

when the tires are cold because tire pres-

sure increases with temperature.

4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at the

base of the fire. After the fire appears

to be out, watch it carefully since it

may re-ignite.
