5.
Proceed  to  connect  one  end  of  the
other jumper cable to the negative ter-
minal 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 connect  it  to or  near any
part  that  moves  when  the engine  is
cranked.  Do not  connect  the  jumper
cable from the negative terminal of the
booster battery  to the  negative termi-
nal of the discharged battery.
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.
6. 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.
WARNING - Battery
Keep  all  flames  or  sparks away
from the  battery. The battery pro-
duces  hydrogen  gas which  may
explode  if  exposed  to   flame  or
sparks.
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.
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
Jump starting procedure
transaxle cannot be push-started.
Follow  the directions  in  this  section for
jump-starting.
1.
Make sure  the  booster battery  is  12-
volt  and  that its  negative  terminal  is
grounded.
2.
If  the  booster   battery  is  in  another
vehicle,  do  not allow  the  vehicles  to
touch.
Turn  off   all   unnecessary   electrical
loads.
Connect the jumper cables in the exact
sequence shown  in the previous illus-
tration.  First  connect   one  end  of  a
jumper cable to the positive terminal of
the  discharged battery  (1), then  con-
nect the  other end to  the positive  ter-
minal on the booster battery  (2).
CAUTION - 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.
This can cause  the discharged bat-
tery to  overheat  and crack,  releas-
ing battery acid.
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.
