What to do in an emergency
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
Do not allow the jumper cables to con-

booster battery and let it run at 2,000

If your temperature gauge indicates over-

power, or if you hear a loud knocking or
pinging noise, the engine has probably

the cooling system checked and repaired
by an Authorized Kia Dealer.
