What to do in an emergency
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
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.
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 your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating,   if  you   experience  a   loss  of
power, or  if you hear a  loud knocking or
pinging  noise, the  engine  has probably
overheated. Should  any of  these symp-
toms occur, use the following procedure:
1.  Turn  on the  hazard  warning  flasher,
then drive to the nearest safe location
and  stop your  vehicle;  set the  auto-
matic transaxle in  P (Park) and apply
the parking brake.
4.  The   coolant  level   should   then  be
checked. If the level in the reservoir is
low,  look   for  leaks   at  the  radiator
hoses and connections, heater hoses
and connections,  radiator, and  water
pump.  If  you   find  a  major  leak   or

problem    that   may   have
caused the engine to overheat, do not
operate  the engine  until it  has  been
corrected.   Call  an   Authorized   Kia
Dealer  for assistance.  If  you  do not
find a leak or other  problem, carefully
add coolant to the reservoir.
If the  engine frequently  overheats, have
the cooling system checked and repaired
by an Authorized Kia Dealer.
If the cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent, you should have your vehi-
cle checked by an Authorized Kia Dealer.

If coolant  is not boiling out,  allow the
engine to  idle and  open the  hood to

WARNING - Removing
radiator cap
