Jump Start and Push Start
Jump starting
Connect cables in numerical order and disconnect in reverse order.
Jump starting can be dangerous if done incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid harm to yourself or damage to your vehicle or battery, follow these jump-starting procedures. If in doubt, we strongly recommend that you have a competent technician or towing service jump-start your vehicle.
WARNING
Battery
Never attempt to check the electrolyte level of the battery as this may cause the battery to rupture or explode.
Frozen batteries
Do not attempt to jump-start the vehicle if the discharged battery is frozen, as the battery may rupture or explode.
Battery
Keep all flames or sparks away from the battery. The battery produces hydrogen gas which will explode if exposed to flame or sparks.
Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable from the negative terminal of the booster battery to the negative terminal of the discharged battery, directly. This can cause the discharged battery to overheat crack, and degrade. Make sure to connect one end of the jumper cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery, and the other end to a metallic point, far away from the batter.
Sulfuric acid risk
Automobile batteries contain sulfuric acid. When jump-starting your vehicle, be careful not to get sulfuric acid on yourself, your clothing, or on the vehicle. This acid is poisonous and highly corrosive.
Jump-starting
- Make sure the booster battery is 12-volt and that its negative terminal is grounded.
- If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to come in contact.
- Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads.
- 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 of the booster battery (2).
Proceed to connect one end of the other jumper cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery (3), then the other end to a solid, stationary, metallic point away from the battery (4).
Do not allow the jumper cables to contact anything except the correct battery terminals or the correct ground. Do not lean over the battery when making connections. - Start vehicle with the booster battery and let it run at 2,000 rpm, then start the vehicle with the discharged battery.
If the cause of your battery discharging is not apparent, you should have your vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE
Make sure to connect one end of the jumper cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery, and the other end to a metallic point, far away from the batter.

Vehicles equipped with Intelligent Variable Transmission cannot be push-started. Follow the directions in this section for jump-starting.
