What to do in an emergency
47
IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START
If engine doesn't turn over or
turns over slowly
1. If your vehicle has an automatic
transaxle / dual clutch transmis-
sion, be sure the shift lever is in N
(Neutral) or P (Park) and the
emergency brake is set.
2. Check the battery connections to
be sure they are clean and tight.
3. Turn on the interior light. If the light
dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is dis-
charged.
4. Check the starter connections to
be sure they are securely tight-
ened.
5. Do not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. See instructions for "Jump
starting".
If engine turns over normally
but does not start
1. Check fuel level.
2. With the ignition switch in the
LOCK/ OFF position, check all
connectors at ignition, coil and
spark plugs. Reconnect any that
may be disconnected or loose.
3. Check the fuel line in the engine
compartment.
4. If the engine still does not start,
call a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to call an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
If the engine does not start, do
not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. This could result in a
collision or cause other dam-
age. In addition, push or pull
starting may cause the catalytic
converter (if equipped) to be
overloaded and create a fire
hazard.
