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.
-
Painting or applying heat treatment to the vehicle after an accident can reduce the performance of the high voltage battery. If heat treatment if required, have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer or service partner.
Avoid putting excessive force on the cut-off switch lever while shutting down the high voltage battery. Doing so might severely damage the switch.
