IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START

If the engine doesn't turn over
or turns over slowly

1.If your vehicle 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 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 position, check all connec-
tors at the 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

an authorized Kia dealer or seek
other qualified assistance.

WARNING

If the engine will 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.
