Push-starting
1.
Make sure the booster battery is 12-
volt and that its negative terminal is
grounded.
Your manual transaxle-equipped vehicle
should not be push-started because it
might damage the emission control sys-
tem.
Vehicles
transaxle cannot be push-started.
2.
If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to
touch.
CAUTION - Battery cables
equipped
with
automatic
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.

4.
Turn off all unnecessary electrical
loads.
Follow the directions in this section for
jump-starting.
Connect the jumper cables in the exact
sequence shown in the illustration.
First connect one end of a jumper
cable to the positive terminal of the
discharged battery (1), then connect
the other end to the positive terminal
on the booster battery (2).
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle to start it
because the sudden surge forward
when the engine starts could cause
a collision with the tow vehicle.
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.
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.
