• Rated output

  • Compatible fast-charging devices: 9.0 V / maximum 3.0 A

  • Devices using standard charging: 5.0 V / maximum 3.0 A

CAUTION

• Use the USB charger while the vehicle is on. Charging devices with the vehicle off may discharge the battery.

• Use the USB cable supplied or approved by the device manufacturer.

• Keep foreign objects, drinks and water away from the charger. Contamination or liquid entering the port may damage it.

• Do not connect a device that draws more than 3.0 A.

• Do not connect electrical equipment that produces excessive electromagnetic noise to the USB port. It may cause interference or disrupt vehicle electronics while the audio or audiovisual system is operating.

• An incorrectly connected charger may seriously damage the connected device. Damage caused by improper use is not covered by the vehicle warranty.

Power outlet: (if equipped)

The power outlet in the Kia Sportage can supply power to compatible devices, including smartphones and tablets.

Operating conditions

• Use devices rated below 15 A while the vehicle is in ON.

WARNING

• Use the outlet only while the vehicle is on, and unplug accessories after use. Leaving a device connected for an extended period while the vehicle is off may discharge the battery.

• Connect only 12 V electrical accessories with a current draw below 15 A.

• When using the outlet, set the air conditioner or heater to its lowest operating level.

• Close the outlet cover when it is not in use.

• Some electronic devices may cause interference when connected to the vehicle’s power outlet. This can result in audio static or affect other electronic systems and devices in the vehicle.

• Insert the accessory plug fully into the outlet. Poor contact may cause the plug to overheat or the fuse to blow.

• Use battery-powered electronic devices with reverse-current protection. Current flowing from a device battery into the vehicle’s electrical or electronic system may cause a malfunction.

• Electric shock

  Never insert a finger or foreign object, such as a pen, into the outlet. Do not touch it with wet hands, as this may cause electric shock.
