IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY

ROAD WARNING

Depress the flasher switch with the

ignition switch in any position. The

flasher switch is located in the center

console switch panel. All turn signal

lights will flash simultaneously.

1FJB2078A

• The hazard warning flasher oper-

ates whether your vehicle is run-

ning or not.

The turn signals do not work when

the hazard flasher is on.

Care must be taken when using the

hazard warning flasher while the

vehicle is being towed.

Hazard Warning Flasher

The hazard warning flasher serves

as a warning to other drivers to exer-

cise extreme caution when approach-

ing, overtaking, or passing your vehi-

cle. It should be used whenever

emergency repairs are being made

or when the vehicle is stopped near

the edge of a roadway.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY

OVERHEATING

If your temperature gauge indicates

overheating, if you experience a loss

of power, or if you hear a loud knock-

ing or pinging noise, the engine has

probably overheated. Should any of

these symptoms occur, use the fol-

lowing procedure:

1. Turn on the hazard warning flash-

er, then drive to the nearest safe

location and stop your vehicle; set

the automatic transaxle in P

(Park), or shift the manual

transaxle to N (Neutral) and apply

the parking brake.

2. Make sure the air conditioner is off.

3. If coolant or steam is boiling out of

the radiator, stop the engine and

call an Authorized Kia Dealer or

other competent repair shop for

assistance.

If coolant is not boiling out, allow the

engine to idle and open the hood to

permit the engine to cool gradually.

If the temperature does not go down

with the engine idling, stop the

engine and allow sufficient time for it

to cool.

4. The coolant level should then be

checked. If the level in the reservoir

is low, look for leaks at the radiator

hoses and connections, heater

hoses and connections, radiator,

and water pump. If you find a major

leak or another problem that may

have caused the engine to over-

heat, do not operate the engine

until it has been corrected. Call an

Authorized Kia Dealer or other

competent repair shop for assis-

tance. If you do not find a leak or

other problem, carefully add

coolant to the reservoir.

WARNING - Removing

Radiator Cap

Do not remove the radiator cap

when the engine and radiator are

hot. Scalding hot coolant and

steam may blow out under pres-

sure. This could cause serious

injury.

If the engine frequently overheats,

have the cooling system checked and

repaired.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY

EMERGENCY STARTING

Jump Starting

Jump starting can be dangerous if

done incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid

harm to yourself or damage to your

vehicle or battery, follow the jump

starting procedures on this page. If in

doubt, we strongly recommend that

you have a competent technician or

towing service jump start your vehicle

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.

Jump starting procedure

1. Make sure the booster battery is

12-volt and that its negative termi-

nal is grounded.

2. If the booster battery is in another

vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to

touch.

✽ NOTICE

Use only a 12-volt jumper system. You

can damage a 12-volt starting motor,

ignition system, and other electrical

parts beyond repair by use of a 24-volt

power supply (either two 12-volt bat-

teries in series or a 24-volt motor gen-

erator set).
