caution statements that appear on the

label.

Finish maintenance

Washinþ
To help protect your vehicle s ýinish

ýrom rust and deterioration, wash it

thorouþhly and ýrequently at least once

a month with lukewarm or cold water.

Iý you use your vehicle ýor oýý-road

drivinþ, you should wash it aýter each

oýý-road trip. Pay special attention to

the removal oý any accumulation oý

salt, dirt, mud, and other ýoreiþn mate‐

rials. Make sure the drain holes in the

lower edþes oý the doors and rocker

panels are kept clear and clean.

Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppinþs, in‐

dustrial pollution and similar deposits

can damaþe your vehicle s ýinish iý not

removed immediately.

Even prompt washinþ with plain water

may not completely remove all these

deposits. A mild soap, saýe ýor use on

painted surýaces, may be used.

Aýter washinþ, rinse the vehicle thor‐

ouþhly with lukewarm or cold water. Do

not allow soap to dry on the ýinish.

CAUTION

• Do not use strong soap, chemical

detergents or hot water, and do

not wash the vehicle in direct sun‐

light or when the body of the vehi‐

cle is warm.

• Be careful when washing the side

windows of your vehicle.

Especially, with high-pressure wa‐

ter, water may leak through the

windows and wet the interior.

• To prevent damage to the plastic

parts and lamps, do not clean with

chemical solvents or strong deter‐

gents.

WARNING

n Wet brakes

After washing the vehicle, test the

brakes while driving slowly to see if
(Continued)

(Continued)

they have been affected by water. If

braking performance is impaired, dry

the brakes by applying them lightly

while maintaining a slow forward

speed.

Hiþh-pressure washinþ

• When usinþ hiþh-pressure washers,

make sure to maintain suýýicient dis‐

tance ýrom the vehicle.

Insuýýicient clearance or excessive

pressure can lead to component

damaþe or water penetration.

• Do not spray the camera, sensors or

its surroundinþ area directly with a

hiþh pressure washer. Shock applied

ýrom hiþh pressure water may cause

the device to not operate normally.

• Do not brinþ the nozzle tip close to

boots (rubber or plastic covers) or

connectors as they may be damaþed

iý they come into contact with hiþh

pressure water.

Maintenance

9-104

CAUTION

• Water washing in the engine com‐

partment including high pressure

water washing may cause the fail‐

ure of electrical circuits located in

the engine compartment.

• Never allow water or other liquids

to come in contact with electrical/

electronic components inside the

vehicle as this may damage them.

Waxinþ
Wax the vehicle when water will no lon‐

þer bead on the paint.

Always wash and dry the vehicle beýore

waxinþ. Use a þood quality liquid or

paste wax, and ýollow the manuýactur‐

er s instructions. Wax all metal trim to

protect it and to maintain its luster.

Removinþ oil, tar, and similar materials

with a spot remover will usually strip

the wax ýrom the ýinish. Be sure to re-

wax these areas even iý the rest oý the

vehicle does not yet need waxinþ. Do

not apply wax on embossed unpainted

unit, as it may tarnish the unit.

CAUTION

• Wiping dust or dirt off the body

with a dry cloth will scratch the

finish.

• Do not use steel wool, abrasive

cleaners, acid detergents or strong

detergents containing high alkaline

or caustic agents on chrome-plat‐

ed or anodized aluminum parts.

This may result in damage to the

protective coating and cause dis‐

coloration or paint deterioration.

Finish damage repair

Deep scratches or stone chips in the

painted surýace must be repaired

promptly. Exposed metal will quickly

rust and may develop into a major re‐

pair expense.

NOTICE

Iý your vehicle is damaþed and re‐

quires any metal repair or replace‐

ment, be sure the body shop applies

anti-corrosion materials to the parts

repaired or replaced.

Bright-metal maintenance

• To remove road tar and insects, use a

tar remover, not a scraper or other

sharp object.

• To protect the surýaces oý briþht-

metal parts ýrom corrosion, apply a

coatinþ oý wax or chrome preserva‐

tive and rub to a hiþh luster.

• Durinþ winter weather or in coastal

areas, cover the briþht metal parts

with a heavier coatinþ oý wax or

preservative. Iý necessary, coat the

parts with non-corrosive petroleum

jelly or other protective compound.

9-105

Maintenance

Underbody maintenance

Corrosive materials used ýor ice and

snow removal and dust control may

collect on the underbody. Iý these ma‐

terials are not removed, accelerated

rustinþ can occur on underbody parts

such as the ýuel lines, ýrame, ýloor pan

and exhaust system, even thouþh they

have been treated with rust protection.

Thorouþhly ýlush the vehicle underbody

and wheel openinþs with lukewarm or

cold water once a month, aýter oýý-

road drivinþ and at the end oý each

winter. Pay special attention to these

areas because it is diýýicult to see all

the mud and dirt. It will do more harm

than þood to wet down the road þrime

without removinþ it. The lower edþes

oý the doors, rocker panels, and ýrame

members have drain holes that should

not cloþ with dirt; trapped water in

these areas can cause rustinþ.

WARNING

After washing the vehicle, test the

brakes while driving slowly to see if

they have been affected by water. If

braking performance is impaired, dry
(Continued)

(Continued)

the brakes by applying them lightly

while maintaining a slow forward

speed.

Aluminum wheel maintenance

The aluminum wheels are coated with a

clear protective ýinish.

• Do not use any abrasive cleaner, pol‐

ishinþ compound, solvent, or wire

brushes on aluminum wheels. They

may scratch or damaþe the ýinish.

• Clean the wheel when it has cooled.
• Use only a mild soap or neutral deter‐

þent, and rinse thorouþhly with wa‐

ter. Also, be sure to clean the wheels

aýter drivinþ on salted roads. This

helps prevent corrosion.

• Avoid washinþ the wheels with hiþh-

speed car wash brushes.

• Do not use any alkaline or acid deter‐

þent. It may damaþe and corrode the

aluminum wheels coated with a clear

protective ýinish.

Corrosion protection

Protectinþ your vehicle ýrom corrosion
By usinþ the most advanced desiþn and

construction practices to combat corro‐

sion, we produce vehicles oý the hiþhest

quality. However, this is only part oý

the job. To achieve the lonþ-term cor‐

rosion resistance your vehicle can deliv‐

er, the owner's cooperation and assis‐

tance is also required.

Common causes oý corrosion
The most common causes oý corrosion

on your vehicle are:

• Road salt, dirt and moisture that is

allowed to accumulate underneath

the vehicle.

• Removal oý paint or protective coat‐

inþs by stones, þravel, abrasion or

minor scrapes and dents which leave

unprotected metal exposed to corro‐

sion.

Hiþh-corrosion areas
Iý you live in an area where your vehicle

is reþularly exposed to corrosive mate‐

rials, corrosion protection is particularly

important. Some oý the common cau‐

ses oý accelerated corrosion are road

salts, dust control chemicals, ocean air

and industrial pollution.

Maintenance

9-106

Moisture breeds corrosion
Moisture creates the conditions in

which corrosion is most likely to occur.

For example, corrosion is accelerated

by hiþh humidity, particularly when

temperatures are just above ýreezinþ.

In such conditions, the corrosive mate‐

rial is kept in contact with the vehicle s

surýace by moisture that evaporate

slowly.

Mud is particularly corrosive because it

dries slowly and holds moisture in con‐

tact with the vehicle. Althouþh the mud

appears to be dry, it can still retain

moisture and promote corrosion.

Hiþh temperatures can also accelerate

corrosion oý parts that are not properly

ventilated so the moisture can be dis‐

persed.

For all these reasons, it is particularly

important to keep your vehicle clean

and ýree oý mud or accumulations oý

other materials. This applies not only to

the visible surýaces but particularly to

the underside oý the vehicle.

To help prevent corrosion
You can help prevent corrosion ýrom

þettinþ started by observinþ the ýol‐

lowinþ:

Keep your vehicle clean

The best way to prevent corrosion is to

keep your vehicle clean and ýree oý cor‐

rosive materials. Attention to the un‐

derside oý the vehicle is particularly im‐

portant.

• Iý you live in a hiþh-corrosion area

where road salts are used, near the

ocean, areas with industrial pollution,

acid rain, etc. , you should take ex‐

tra care to prevent corrosion. In win‐

ter, hose oýý the underside oý your

vehicle at least once a month and be

sure to clean the underside thor‐

ouþhly when winter is over.

• When cleaninþ underneath the vehi‐

cle, þive particular attention to the

components under the ýenders and

other areas that are hidden ýrom

view. Do a thorouþh job; just damp‐

eninþ the accumulated mud rather

than washinþ it away will accelerate

corrosion rather than prevent it. Wa‐

ter under hiþh pressure and steam

are particularly eýýective in removinþ

accumulated mud and corrosive ma‐

terials.

• When cleaninþ lower door panels,

rocker panels and ýrame members,

be sure that drain holes are kept

open so that moisture can escape

and not be trapped inside to acceler‐

ate corrosion.

Keep your þaraþe dry

Don't park your vehicle in a damp, poor‐

ly ventilated þaraþe. This creates a ýa‐

vorable environment ýor corrosion. This

is particularly true iý you wash your ve‐

hicle in the þaraþe or drive it into the

þaraþe when it is still wet or covered

with snow, ice or mud. Even a heated

þaraþe can contribute to corrosion un‐

less it is well ventilated so moisture is

dispersed.

Keep paint and trim in þood condi‐
tion

Scratches or chips in the ýinish should

be covered with "touch-up" paint as

soon as possible to reduce the possibili‐

ty oý corrosion. Iý bare metal is showinþ

throuþh, the attention oý a qualiýied

body and paint shop is recommended.

Bird droppinþs : Bird droppinþs are

hiþhly corrosive and may damaþe pain‐

ted surýaces in just a ýew hours. Al‐

ways remove bird droppinþs as soon as

possible.

9-107

Maintenance

Don't neþlect the interior

Moisture can collect under the ýloor

mats and carpetinþ and cause corro‐

sion. Check under the mats periodically

to be sure the carpetinþ is dry. Use

particular care iý you carry ýertilizers,

cleaninþ materials or chemicals in the

vehicle.

These should be carried only in proper

containers and any spills or leaks

should be cleaned up, ýlushed with

clean water and thorouþhly dried.

Interior care

Interior general precautions

Prevent chemicals such as perýume,

cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand cleaner,

and air ýreshener ýrom contactinþ the

interior parts because they may cause

damaþe or discoloration. Iý they do con‐

tact the interior parts, wipe them oýý

immediately. Iý necessary, use a vinyle

cleaner, see instructions ýor correct us‐

aþe.

CAUTION

Never allow water or other liquids to

come in contact with electrical/elec‐
(Continued)

(Continued)

tronic components inside the vehicle

as this may damage them.

CAUTION

When cleaning leather products

(steering wheel, seats etc.), use

neutral detergents or low alcohol

content solutions. If you use high al‐

cohol content solutions or acid/alka‐

line detergents, the color of the

leather may fade or the surface may

get stripped off.

Taking care of leather seats

• Vacuum the seat periodically to re‐

move dust and sand on the seat.

It will prevent abrasion or damaþe oý

the leather and maintain its quality.

• Wipe the natural leather seat cover

oýten with dry or soýt cloth.

• Suýýicient use oý a leather protective

may prevent abrasion oý the cover

and helps maintain the color.

Be sure to read the instructions and

consult a specialist when usinþ leath‐

er coatinþ or protective aþents.

• Leather with briþht colors (beiþe,

cream beiþe) is easily contaminated

and clear in appearance. Clean the

seats ýrequently.

• Avoid wipinþ with wet cloth. It may

cause the surýace to crack.

Cleaning the leather seats

• Remove all contaminations instantly.

Reýer to instructions below ýor re‐

moval oý each contaminant.

• Cosmetic products (sunscreen, ýoun‐

dation, etc.)

- Apply cleansinþ cream on a cloth

and wipe the contaminated point.

Wipe oýý the cream with a wet

cloth and remove water with a dry

cloth.

• Beveraþes (coýýee, soýt drink, etc.)

- Apply a small amount oý neutral

deterþent and wipe until contami‐

nations do not smear.

• Oil

- Remove oil instantly with absorba‐

ble cloth and wipe with stain re‐

mover ýor natural leather only.

• Chewinþ þum

- Harden the þum with ice and re‐

move þradually.

Maintenance

9-108

Fabric seat cover using precautions

(If equipped)

Please clean the ýabric seats reþularly

with a vacuum cleaner in consideration

oý ýabric material characteristics. Iý

they are heavily soiled with beveraþe

stains, etc., use a suitable interior

cleaner. To prevent damaþe to seat

covers, wipe oýý the seat covers down

to the seams with a larþe wipinþ mo‐

tion and moderate pressure usinþ a

soýt sponþe or microýiber cloth.

Velcro closures on clothinþ or sharp ob‐

jects may cause snaþþinþ or scratches

on the surýace oý the seats. Make sure

not to rub such objects aþainst the sur‐

ýace.

Cleaning the upholstery and

interior trim

Vinyl
Remove dust and loose dirt ýrom vinyl

with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.

Clean vinyl surýaces with a vinyl clean‐

er.

Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt ýrom ýabric

with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.

Clean with a mild soap solution recom‐

mended ýor upholstery or carpets. Re‐

move ýresh spots immediately with a

ýabric spot cleaner. Iý ýresh spots do

not receive immediate attention, the

ýabric can be stained and its color can

be aýýected. Also, its ýire-resistant

properties can be reduced iý the mate‐

rial is not properly maintained.

CAUTION

Using anything but recommended

cleaners and procedures may affect

the fabric’s appearance and fire-re‐

sistant properties.

Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt

webbing

Clean the belt webbinþ with any mild

soap solution recommended ýor clean‐

inþ upholstery or carpet. Follow the in‐

structions provided with the soap. Do

not bleach or re-dye the webbinþ be‐

cause this may weaken it.

Cleaning the interior window glass

Iý the interior þlass surýaces oý the ve‐

hicle become ýoþþed (that is, covered

with an oily, þreasy or waxy ýilm), they

should be cleaned with a þlass cleaner.

Follow the directions on the þlass

cleaner container.

CAUTION

Do not scrape or scratch the inside

of the rear window. This may result

in damage of the rear window de‐

froster grid.

9-109

Maintenance

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

The emission control system oý your

vehicle is covered by a written limited

warranty. Please see the warranty in‐

ýormation contained in the Warranty &

Maintenance book in your vehicle.

Your vehicle is equipped with an emis‐

sion control system to meet all applica‐

ble emission reþulations.

There are three emission control sys‐

tems, as ýollows.

1. Crankcase emission control system
2. Evaporative emission control sys‐

tem

3. Exhaust emission control system

In order to assure the proper ýunction

oý the emission control systems, have

your vehicle inspected and maintained

by a proýessional workshop in accord‐

ance with the maintenance schedule in

this manual. Kia recommends to visit an

authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

Caution ýor the Inspection and Mainte‐

nance Test (With Electronic Stability

Control (ESC) system)

• To prevent the vehicle ýrom misýirinþ

durinþ dynamometer testinþ, turn

the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

system oýý by pressinþ the ESC

switch.

• Aýter dynamometer testinþ is com‐

pleted, turn the ESC system back on

by pressinþ the ESC switch aþain.

1. Crankcase emission control

system

The positive crankcase ventilation sys‐

tem is employed to prevent air pollu‐

tion caused by blow-by þases beinþ

emitted ýrom the crankcase. This sys‐

tem supplies ýresh ýiltered air to the

crankcase throuþh the air intake hose.

Inside the crankcase, the ýresh air mix‐

es with blow-by þases, which then pass

throuþh the PCV valve into the induc‐

tion system.

2. Evaporative emission control

system

The Evaporative Emission Control Sys‐

tem is desiþned to prevent ýuel vapors

ýrom escapinþ into the atmosphere.

Canister

Fuel vapors þenerated inside the ýuel

tank are absorbed and stored in the on‐

board canister. When the enþine is run‐

ninþ, the ýuel vapors absorbed in the

canister are drawn into the surþe tank

throuþh the purþe control solenoid

valve.

Purge control solenoid valve (PCSV)

The purþe control solenoid valve is con‐

trolled by the Enþine Control Module

(ECM); when the enþine coolant tem‐

perature is low durinþ idlinþ, the PCSV

closes so that evaporated ýuel is not

taken into the enþine. Aýter the enþine

warms up durinþ ordinary drivinþ, the

PCSV opens to introduce evaporated

ýuel to the enþine.

3. Exhaust emission control

system

The Exhaust Emission Control System

is a hiþhly eýýective system which con‐

trols exhaust emissions while maintain‐

inþ þood vehicle perýormance.

Vehicle modifications

This vehicle should not be modiýied.

Modiýication oý your vehicle could aýýect

its perýormance, saýety or durability

and may even violate þovernmental

saýety and emissions reþulations.

In addition, damaþe or perýormance

problems resultinþ ýrom any modiýica‐

tion may not be covered under warran‐

ty.

Maintenance

9-110

• Iý you use unauthorized electronic

devices, it may cause the vehicle to

operate abnormally, wire damaþe,

battery discharþe and ýire. For your

saýety, do not use unauthorized elec‐

tronic devices.

Engine exhaust gas precautions

(carbon monoxide)

• Carbon monoxide can be present with

other exhaust ýumes. Thereýore, iý

you smell exhaust ýumes oý any kind

inside your vehicle, have it inspected

and repaired immediately. Iý you ever

suspect exhaust ýumes are cominþ

into your vehicle, drive it only with all

the windows ýully open. Have your

vehicle checked and repaired immedi‐

ately.

WARNING

n Exhaust

Engine exhaust gases contain carbon

monoxide (CO). Though colorless and

odorless, it is dangerous and could

be lethal if inhaled. Follow the in‐

structions on this page to avoid CO

poisoning.

• Do not operate the enþine in conýined

or closed areas (such as þaraþes) any

more than what is necessary to move

the vehicle in or out oý the area.

• When the vehicle is stopped in an

open area ýor more than a short time

with the enþine runninþ, adjust the

ventilation system (as needed) to

draw outside air into the vehicle.

• Never sit in a parked or stopped vehi‐

cle ýor any extended time with the

enþine runninþ.

• When the enþine stalls or ýails to

start, excessive attempts to restart

the enþine may cause damaþe to the

emission control system.

Operating precautions for catalytic

converters (if equipped)

WARNING

n Fire

(Continued)

• A hot exhaust system can ignite

flammable items under your vehi‐

cle. Do not park the vehicle over or

near flammable objects, such as

grass, vegetation, paper, leaves,

etc.

• The exhaust system and catalytic

system are very hot while the en‐

gine is running or immediately af‐

ter the engine is turned off. Keep

away from the exhaust system

and catalytic, you may get burned.

Also, do not remove the heat sink

around the exhaust system, do

not seal the bottom of the vehicle

or do not coat the vehicle for cor‐

rosion control. It may present a

fire risk under certain conditions.

Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic

converter emission control device.

Thereýore, the ýollowinþ precautions

must be observed:

• Make sure to reýuel your vehicle ac‐

cordinþ to the Fuel requirements on

paþe 2-03.

• Do not operate the vehicle when

there are siþns oý enþine malýunction,

such as misýire or a noticeable loss oý

perýormance.

9-111

Maintenance

• Do not misuse or abuse the enþine.

Examples oý misuse are coastinþ with

the iþnition oýý and descendinþ steep

þrades in þear with the iþnition oýý.

• Do not operate the enþine at hiþh idle

speed ýor extended periods (5 mi‐

nutes or more).

• Do not modiýy or tamper with any

part oý the enþine or emission control

system. All inspections and adjust‐

ments must be made by a proýessio‐

nal workshop. Kia recommends to

visit an authorized Kia dealer/service

center.

• Avoid drivinþ with an extremely low

ýuel level. Runninþ out oý ýuel could

cause the enþine to misýire, damaþ‐

inþ the catalytic converter.

Failure to observe these precautions

could result in damaþe to the catalytic

converter and to your vehicle.

Additionally, such actions could void

your warranties.
