Other precautions for the electric vehicle
-
Use, remodel, or install only genuine Kia parts or those of an equivalent standard. Genuine Kia parts are guaranteed for quality and performance. Third-party parts might damage the electric power system.
-
Be extremely cautious about electricity safety. A short circuit in the high voltage power might cause an electric shock accident.
-
When you paint or apply heat treatment to the vehicle as a result of an accident, the performance of the high voltage battery can be reduced. If heat treatment is required, have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.
Avoid putting excessive force on the cut-off switch lever whilst shutting down the high voltage battery. Doing so might severely damage the switch.
