4.
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).
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
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.
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.
