Maintenance

Taking care of leather seats

• Vacuum the seat periodically to

remove dust and sand on the seat.
It will prevent abrasion or damage of
the leather and maintain its quality.

• Wipe the natural leather seat cover

often with dry or soft cloth.

• Sufficient use of a leather protec-

tive may prevent abrasion of the
cover and helps maintain the color.
Be sure to read the instructions
and consult a specialist when
using leather coating or protective
agents.

• Leather with bright colors(beige,

cream beige) is easily contaminat-
ed and clear in appearance. Clean
the seats frequently.

• Avoid wiping with wet cloth. It may

cause the surface to crack.

Cleaning the leather seats

• Remove all contaminations instant-

ly. Refer to instructions below for
removal of each contaminant.

• Cosmetic products(sunscreen,

foundation, etc.)
- Apply cleansing cream on a cloth

and wipe the contaminated point.
Wipe off the cream with a wet
cloth and remove water with a dry
cloth.

• Beverages(coffee, soft drink, etc.)

- Apply a small amount of neutral

detergent and wipe until contami-
nations do not smear.

• Oil

-

Remove oil instantly with
absorbable cloth and wipe with
stain remover for natural leather
only.

• Chewing gum

- Harden the gum with ice and

remove gradually.

CAUTION -

Electrical
components

Never allow water or other liq-
uids to come in contact with
electrical/electronic compo-
nents inside the vehicle as this
may damage them.

CAUTION -

Leather

When cleaning leather products
(steering wheel, seats etc.), use
neutral detergents or low alco-
hol content solutions. If you use
high alcohol content solutions
or acid/alkaline detergents, the
color of the leather may fade or
the surface may get stripped off.

Fabric seat cover using precau-
tions (If equipped)

Please clean the fabric seats regu-
larly with a vacuum cleaner in con-
sideration of fabric material charac-
teristics. If they are heavily soiled
with beverage stains, etc., use a suit-
able interior cleaner. To prevent dam-
age to seat covers, wipe off the seat
covers down to the seams with a
large wiping motion and moderate
pressure using a soft sponge or
microfiber cloth.
Velcro closures on clothing or sharp
objects may cause snagging or
scratches on the surface of the
seats. Make sure not to rub such
objects against the surface.

Cleaning the upholstery and inte-
rior trim

Vinyl
Remove dust and loose dirt from
vinyl with a whisk broom or vacuum
cleaner. Clean vinyl surfaces with a
vinyl cleaner.

Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from fab-
ric with a whisk broom or vacuum
cleaner. Clean with a mild soap solu-
tion recommended for upholstery or
carpets. Remove fresh spots imme-
diately with a fabric spot cleaner. If
fresh spots do not receive immediate
attention, the fabric can be stained
and its color can be affected. Also, its
fire-resistant properties can be
reduced if the material is not proper-
ly maintained.
Using anything but recommended
cleaners and procedures may affect
the fabric’s appearance and fire-
resistant properties.

Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt
webbing

Clean the belt webbing with any mild
soap solution recommended for
cleaning upholstery or carpet. Follow
the instructions provided with the
soap. Do not bleach or re-dye the
webbing because this may weaken it.

Cleaning the interior window
glass

If the interior glass surfaces of the
vehicle become fogged (that is, cov-
ered with an oily, greasy or waxy
film), they should be cleaned with a
glass cleaner. Follow the directions
on the glass cleaner container.

CAUTION

- Rear window

Do not scrape or scratch the
inside of the rear window. This
may result in damage of the rear
window defroster grid.

Maintenance

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

The emission control system of your
vehicle is covered by a written limited
warranty. Please see the warranty
information contained in the
Warranty & Consumer Information
manual in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an
emission control system to meet all
applicable emission regulations.
There are three emission control
systems, as follows.

(1) Crankcase emission control sys-

tem

(2) Evaporative emission control sys-

tem

(3) Exhaust emission control system

In order to assure the proper function
of the emission control systems, it is
recommended that you have your
vehicle inspected and maintained by
an authorized Kia dealer in accor-
dance with the maintenance sched-
ule in this manual.

Caution for the Inspection and
Maintenance Test (With Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system)
• To prevent the vehicle from mis-

firing during dynamometer test-
ing, turn the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system off by
pressing the ESC switch.

• After dynamometer testing is

completed, turn the ESC system
back on by pressing the ESC
switch again.

1. Crankcase emission control

system

The positive crankcase ventilation
system is employed to prevent air
pollution caused by blow-by gases
being emitted from the crankcase.
This system supplies fresh filtered air
to the crankcase through the air
intake hose. Inside the crankcase,
the fresh air mixes with blow-by
gases, which then pass through the
PCV valve into the induction system.

2. Evaporative emission con-

trol (including ORVR:
Onboard Refueling Vapor
Recovery)
system

The Evaporative Emission Control
System is designed to prevent fuel
vapors from escaping into the atmos-
phere.
(The ORVR system is designed to
allow the vapors from the fuel tank to
be loaded into a canister while refu-
eling at the gas station, preventing
the escape of fuel vapors into the
atmosphere.)

Maintenance

100

Canister

Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the
onboard canister. When the engine is
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in
the canister are drawn into the surge
tank through the purge control sole-
noid valve.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve
(PCSV)

The purge control solenoid valve is
controlled by the Engine Control
Module (ECM); when the engine
coolant temperature is low during
idling, the PCSV closes so that evap-
orated fuel is not taken into the
engine. After the engine warms up
during ordinary driving, the PCSV
opens to introduce evaporated fuel to
the engine.

3. Exhaust emission control

system

The Exhaust Emission Control
System is a highly effective system
which controls exhaust emissions
while maintaining good vehicle per-
formance.

Vehicle modifications

This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could
affect its performance, safety or
durability and may even violate gov-
ernmental safety and emissions reg-
ulations.
In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from any modifi-
cation may not be covered under
warranty.
• If you use unauthorized electronic

devices, it may cause the vehicle to
operate abnormally, wire damage,
battery discharge and fire. For your
safety, do not use unauthorized
electronic devices.

Engine exhaust gas precautions
(carbon monoxide)

• Carbon monoxide can be present

with other exhaust fumes.
Therefore, if you smell exhaust
fumes of any kind inside your vehi-
cle, have it inspected and repaired
immediately. If you ever suspect
exhaust fumes are coming into
your vehicle, drive it only with all
the windows fully open. Have your
vehicle checked and repaired
immediately.

WARNING -

Exhaust

Engine exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide (CO). Though
colorless and odorless, it is
dangerous and could be lethal if
inhaled. Follow the instructions
on this page to avoid CO poi-
soning.

7 101

Maintenance

• Do not operate the engine in con-

fined or closed areas (such as
garages) any more than what is
necessary to move the vehicle in or
out of the area.

• When the vehicle is stopped in an

open area for more than a short
time with the engine running,
adjust the ventilation system (as
needed) to draw outside air into the
vehicle.

• Never sit in a parked or stopped

vehicle for any extended time with
the engine running.

• When the engine stalls or fails to

start, excessive attempts to restart
the engine may cause damage to
the emission control system.

Operating precautions for catalyt-
ic converters (if equipped)

WARNING

- Catalytic

converter

Keep away from the catalytic
converter and exhaust system
while the vehicle is running or
immediately thereafter.

The

exhaust and catalytic systems
are very hot and may burn you.

WARNING

- Fire

• Do not park, idle or drive the

vehicle over or near flamma-
ble objects, such as grass,
vegetation, paper, leaves, etc.
A hot exhaust system can
ignite flammable items under
your vehicle.

• Also, do not remove the heat

sink around the exhaust sys-
tem, do not seal the bottom of
the vehicle or do not coat the
vehicle for corrosion control.
It may present a fire risk under
certain conditions.

Maintenance

102

7

Your vehicle is equipped with a cat-
alytic converter emission control
device.
Therefore, the following precautions
must be observed:
• Use only UNLEADED FUEL for

gasoline engines.

• Do not operate the vehicle when

there are signs of engine malfunc-
tion, such as misfire or a noticeable
loss of performance.

• Do not misuse or abuse the

engine. Examples of misuse are
coasting with the ignition off and
descending steep grades in gear
with the ignition off.

• Do not operate the engine at high

idle speed for extended periods (5
minutes or more).

• Do not modify or tamper with any

part of the engine or emission con-
trol system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by an
authorized Kia dealer.

• Avoid driving with an extremely low

fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, dam-
aging the catalytic converter.

Failure to observe these precautions
could result in damage to the catalyt-
ic converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void
your warranties.

✽

✽

NOTICE

• It is permissible to add 3psi to the standard tire pressure specification if colder temperatures are expected soon.

Tires typically loose 1psi for every 12°F temperature drop. If extreme temperature variations are expected, re-
check your tire pressure as necessary to keep them properly inflated.

• We recommend that when replacing tires, use the same originally supplied with the vehicles. If not, that affects

driving performance.

• When driving in high altitude grades, it is natural for the atmospheric pressure to decrease. Therefore, please

check the tire pressure and add more air when necessary.
Additionally required tire air pressure per km above sea level: 1.5 psi/km

• Speeds above 100 MPH (160 km/h)

In order to drive at maximum speeds in excess of 100 MPH (160 km/h), please observe, and, if necessary, adjust
tire pressures for speeds exceeding 100 MPH (160 km/h) from the above table. Otherwise tire damage and acci-
dents could occur.

Recommended SAE viscosity
number

Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an
effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and
engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity
engine oils can provide better fuel
economy and cold weather perform-
ance;

however, higher viscosity

engine oils are required for satisfacto-
ry lubrication in hot weather. Using
oils of any viscosity other than those
recommended could result in engine
damage. When choosing an oil, con-
sider the range of temperature your
vehicle will be operated in before the
next oil change. Proceed to select the
recommended oil viscosity from the
chart.

An engine oil displaying this API Certification Mark con-
forms to the international Lubricant Specification
Advisory Committee (ILSAC). It is recommended to only
use engine oils that uphold this API Certification Mark.
