Scheme 18: BATTERY CAUTION LABEL DESCRIPTION

HANDLING AND STORAGE THE BATTERY

Battery ItselfBatteries should be stored in cool, dry (27°C, 80.6°F) places and out of direct sunlight. MF batteries are tightly sealed to prevent acid leakage. However, tilting the battery to an angle of 45 degrees can cause acid to leak through the vents on the sides. Therefore, batteries should always be stored in their upright positions. Prevent placing any aqueous or solid (i.e. conductors) bodies on top of the battery. It is extremely dangerous to use tools, such as hammers, on the battery terminals when connecting cables to the mounted battery.
Battery on VehicleWhen storing the vehicle for long periods of time, make sure to remove the memory fuse at junction box to prevent natural discharging. Also, run the engine for battery charging within 1 month if the memory fuse wasn't removed from the start of vehicle storing. If the memory fuse was removed, run the engine for battery charging within 3 months from the start of vehicle storing.

HANDLING AND STORAGE BATTERY CHART

LIFT AND SUPPORT POINTS

WARNINGWhen heavy rear components such as suspension, fuel tank, spare tire, tailgate and trunk lid are to be removed, place additional weight in the luggage area before hoisting. When substantial weight is removed from the rear of the vehicle, the center of gravity may change and can cause the vehicle to tip forward on the hoist.

Note. Since each tire/wheel assembly weights approximately 30lbs (14kg), placing the front wheels in the luggage area can assist with the weight distribution. Use the same support points to support the vehicle on safety stands.

Scheme 19

Scheme 19
  1. Place the lift blocks under the support points (Scheme 19)
  2. Raise the hoist a few inches (centimeters) and rock the vehicle to be sure it is firmly supported.
  3. Raise the hoist to full height to inspect the lift points for secure support.

TOWING

If the vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional towing service. Never tow vehicle with just a rope or chain. It is very dangerous.

Scheme 20

Scheme 20: TOWING

EMERGENCY TOWING

There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle

Flat - bed Equipment- The operator loads the vehicle on the back of truck. This is best way of transporting the vehicle.

Wheel Lift Equipment- The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires (front or rear) and lift them off the ground. The other two wheels remain on the ground.

Sling type Equipment- The tow truck uses metal cables with hooks on the ends. These hooks go around parts of the frame or suspension, and the cables lift that end of the vehicle off the ground. The vehicle's suspension and body can be seriously damaged if this method of towing is attempted.

If the vehicle cannot be transported by flat-bed, if should be towed with the front wheels off the ground. If due to damage, the vehicle must be toward with the front wheels on the ground, do the following

Manual Transmission

  1. Release the parking brake.
  2. Shift the transmission to neutral

Automatic Transmission

  1. Release the parking brake.
  2. Start the engine.
  3. Shift to [D] position, then [N] position.
  4. Turn off the engine.
CAUTIONImproper towing preparation will damage the transmission. Follow the above procedure exactly. If you cannot shift the transmission or start the engine (automatic transmission), your vehicle must be transported on a flatbed. It is the best to tow vehicle no farther than 19miles (30km), and keep the speed below 30mph (50km/h). Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle's weight.

Note. For best performance and maximum protection of all types of operation, select only those lubricants which: Satisfy the requirements of the API classification. Have the proper SAE grade number for expected ambient temperature range. Lubricants which do not have both an SAE grade number and an API service classification on the container should not be used.

PROTECTION OF THE VEHICLE

Always be sure to cover fenders, seats, and floor areas before starting work.

CAUTIONThe support rod must be inserted into the hole near the edge of the hood whenever you inspect the engine compartment to prevent the hood from falling and causing possible injury. Make sure that the support rod has been released prior to closing the hood. Always check to be sure the hood is firmly latched before driving the vehicle.

PREPARATION OF TOOLS AND MEASURING EQUIPMENT

Be sure that all necessary tools and measuring equipment are available starting work.

PARTS

When replacing parts, use KIA genuine parts.

MEASURING BODY DIMENSIONS

  1. Basically, all measurements in these articles are taken with a tracking gauge.
  2. When a measuring tape is used, check to be sure there is no elongation, twisting or bending.
  3. For measuring dimensions, both projected dimensions and actual - measurement dimensions are used in these articles.

Scheme 25

Scheme 25: DIMENSIONS PROJECTED
  1. These are the dimensions measured when the measurement points are projected from the vehicle's surface, and are the reference dimensions used for used for body alterations.
  2. If the length of the tracking gauge probes is adjustable, measure it by lengthening one of two probes as long as the different value in height of the two surface.

Scheme 26

Scheme 26: MEASURING ACTUAL DIMENSIONS
  1. These dimensions indicate the actual linear distance between measurement points, and are used as the reference dimensions when a tracking gauge is used for measurement.
  2. First adjust both probes to the same length (A=A') before measurement. NOTE: Check the probes and gauge itself to make sure there is no free play.

MEASUREMENT POINT

Measurements should be taken at the center of the hole.

Scheme 28: CHECKING CABLES AND WIRES
  1. Check the terminal for tightness.
  2. Check terminals and wires for corrosion from battery electrolyte, etc.
  3. Check terminals and wires for open circuits.
  4. Check wire insulation and coating for damage, cracks and degrading.
  5. Check the conductive parts of terminals for contact with other metallic parts (vehicle body and other parts).
  6. Check grounded parts to verify that there is complete continuity between their attaching bolt(s) and the vehicle's body.
  7. Check for incorrect wiring.
  8. Check that the wiring is so clamped to the prevent contact with sharp corners of the vehicle body, etc. or hot parts (exhaust manifold, etc.)
  9. Check that the wiring is clamped firmly to provide enough clearance from the fan pulley, fan belt and other rotating or moving parts.
  10. Check that the wiring has a little space so that it can vibrate between fixed and moving parts such as the vehicle body and the engine.

CHECK FUSES

A blade type fuse test taps provided to allow checking the fuse itself without removing if from the fuse box. The fuse is good if the test lamp lights up when one lead is connected to the test taps (one at a time) and the other lead is grounded. (Turn the ignition switch so that the fuse circuit becomes operative)

  1. Prior to servicing the electrical system, be sure to turn off the ignition switch and disconnect the battery ground cable. NOTE: In the course of MFI or ELC system diagnosis, when the battery cable is removed, any diagnostic trouble code retained by the computer will be cleared. Therefore, if necessary, record the diagnostic data before removing the battery cable.
  2. Attach the wiring harnesses with clamps so that there is no slack. However, for any harness which passes the engine or other vibrating parts of the vehicle, allow some slack within a range that does not allow the engine vibrations to cause the harness to come into contact with any of the surrounding parts and then secure the harness by using a clamp.
  3. If any section of a wiring harness interferes with the edge of a parts, or a corner, wrap the section of the harness with tape or something similar in order to protect if from damage.
  4. When installing any parts, be careful not to pinch or damage any of the wiring harness.
  5. Never throw relays, sensors or electrical parts, or expose them to strong shock.
  6. The electronic parts used in the computer, relays, etc. are readily damaged by heat. If there is a need for service operations that may cause the temperature to exceed 80°C (176°F), remove the electronic parts before hand.
  7. Loose connectors cause problems. Make sure that the connectors are always securely fastened.
  8. When disconnecting a connector, be sure to grip only the connector, not the wires.
  9. Disconnect connector which have catches by pressing in the direction of the arrows (Scheme 37)
  10. Connect connectors which have catches by inserting the connectors until they make a clicking sound.
  11. When using a circuit tester to check continuity or voltage on connector terminals, insert the test probe into the harness side. If the connector is a sealed connector, insert the test probe through the hole in the rubber cap until contacts the terminal, being careful not to damage the insulation of the wires.
  12. To avoid overloading the wiring, take the electrical current load of the optional equipment into consideration, and determine the appropriate wire size.

PRECAUTIONS FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER

CAUTIONIf a large amount of unburned gasoline flows into the converter, it may overheat and create a fire hazard. To prevent this observe the following precautions and explain them to your customer.
  1. Use only unleaded gasoline.
  2. Do not run the engine while the car is at rest for a long time. Avoid running the engine at fast idle for more than 10minutes and idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
  3. Do not measure engine compression for an extended time. Engine compression tests must be made as rapidly as possible. Remove the fuel pump relay before performing a compression test.
  4. Do not dispose of used catalytic converter together with parts contaminated with gasoline or oil.
