2008 Kia Magentis Owners Manual

Maintenance
Battery recharging
Your  vehicle   has  a   maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
•  If the battery becomes discharged  in a
short  time (because, for  example, the
headlights or interior lights were left on
while  the   vehicle  was   not  in   use),
recharge  it  by slow  charging  (trickle)
for 10 hours.
(Continued)
When  lifting a  plastic-cased bat-
tery,  excessive  pressure  on  the
case  may  cause  battery  acid  to
leak, resulting  in personal  injury.
Lift with  a battery  carrier or  with
your hands on opposite corners.
Never attempt  to charge  the bat-
tery when  the  battery cables  are
connected.
The   electrical   ignition    system
works  with  high   voltage.  Never
touch these components with the
engine   running  or   the  ignition
switched on.
•  If   the  battery   gradually   discharges
because of high electric load  while the
vehicle is being used, recharge it at 20-
OMG075021
30A
for two hours.
For best battery service :
•  Keep the battery securely  mounted.
•  Keep the  top of  the battery clean  and
dry.
•  Keep  the  terminals  and   connections
clean, tight, and coated with petroleum
jelly or terminal grease.
Items to be reset after  the battery has
been  discharged  or  the  battery  has
