What to do in an emergency

46

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START

If engine doesn't turn over or

turns over slowly

1. If your car has an automatic

transaxle, 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 oper-

ate 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 the fuel level.

2. With the ignition switch in the

LOCK position, check all connec-

tors at the ignition coils 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 an authorized Kia dealer or

seek other qualified assistance.

Connect cables in numerical order

and disconnect in reverse order.

WARNING - Push/pull

Do not push or pull the vehicle
