5

Do not allow the jumper cables to con-
tact anything except the correct bat-
tery terminals or the correct ground.
Do not lean over the battery when
making connections.

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 cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent, you should have your vehi-
cle checked by an Authorized Kia Dealer.

Push-starting

Vehicles equipped with automatic
transaxle cannot be push-started.
Follow the directions in this section for
jump-starting.

CAUTION

Never tow a vehicle to start it
because the sudden surge forward
when the engine starts could cause
a collision with the tow vehicle.
