the Kia has a 12 v reset, the 12 volt battery is used for the accessories, the motor actually starts off the hybrid battery. If the 12 goes dead, pushing the 12 volt reset button reactivates the battery and the car will go. That is also a safety if you leave accessories plugged in, at a certain battery drain point before the battery is actually dead, or ruined from too much discharge the system will turn off the battery. If he had pushed the 12v battery reset he would have been good to go without needing a jump. Nice thing about these cars is no dead battery unless there is a battery failure then jumping won't start the car as the hybrid battery is failed, or has a fault and only the dealer can re-activate it once the problem is solved. I was looking for how to jump start another car off the Kia, you answered that as well, where to connect the positive cable.

This is only for the 2018 models and up. Up to 2018 there is no reset button.

Thank you very much. Very helpful. FYI: The orange pull chain that you could not identify at 4:08 in is a manual release for your charging cable (which I figured out when my batter was dead and I could not remove the charging cable).
