KIA Quoris (2018 year). Instruction — part 28

NOTICE

HID/LED lamps have superior per‐

formance vs. halogen bulbs.

HID/LED lamps are estimated by the

manufacturer to last twice as long

or longer than halogen bulbs de‐

pending on their frequency of use.

They will probably require replace‐

ment at some point in the life of the

vehicle. Cycling the headlamps on

and off more than typical use will

shorten HID/LED lamps life. HID/LED

lamps do not fail in the same man‐

ner as halogen incandescent lamps.

If a headlamp goes out after a peri‐

od of operation but will immediately

relight when the headlamp switch is

cycled it is likely the HID/LED lamp

needs to be replaced. HID/LED light‐

ing components are more complex

than conventional halogen bulbs

thus have higher replacement cost.

NOTICE

Have the headlight aiming adjusted

after an accident or after the head‐

light assembly is reinstalled by a

professional workshop. Kia recom‐

mends to visit an authorized Kia

dealer/service partner.

APPEARANCE CARE

Exterior care

Exterior general caution

It is very important to follow the label

directions when using any chemical

cleaner or polish. Read all warning and

caution statements that appear on the

label.

Finish maintenance

Washing

To help protect your vehicle’s finish

from rust and deterioration, wash it

thoroughly and frequently at least once

a month with lukewarm or cold water.

If you use your vehicle for off-road

driving, you should wash it after each

off-road trip. Pay special attention to

the removal of any accumulation of

salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign mate‐

rials. Make sure the drain holes in the

lower edges of the doors and rocker

panels are kept clear and clean.

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

dustrial pollution and similar deposits

can damage your vehicle’s finish if not

removed immediately.

Even prompt washing with plain water

may not completely remove all these

deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on

painted surfaces, may be used.

After washing, rinse the vehicle thor‐

oughly with lukewarm or cold water. Do

not allow soap to dry on the finish.

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. Especial‐

ly, with high-pressure water, wa‐

ter may leak through the windows

and wet the interior.

• To prevent damage to 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.

High-pressure washing

• When using high-pressure washers,

make sure to maintain sufficient dis‐

tance from the vehicle.

Insufficient clearance or excessive

pressure can lead to component

damage or water penetration.

• Do not spray the camera, sensors or

its surrounding area directly with a

high pressure washer. Shock applied

from high pressure water may cause

the device to not operate normally.

• Do not bring the nozzle tip close to

boots (rubber or plastic covers) or

connectors as they may be damaged

if they come into contact with high

pressure water.

7-83

Maintenance

CAUTION

• Water washing in the engine com‐

partment including high pressure

water washing may cause the fail‐

ure of electrical circuits or engine

and related part located in the en‐

gine compartment.

• Never allow water or other liquids

to come in contact with electrical/

electronic components and air duct

inside the vehicle as this may

damage them.

Waxing

Wax the vehicle when water will no lon‐

ger bead on the paint.

Always wash and dry the vehicle before

waxing. Use a good quality liquid or

paste wax, and follow the manufactur‐

er’s instructions. Wax all metal trim to

protect it and to maintain its luster.

Removing oil, tar, and similar materials

with a spot remover will usually strip

the wax from the finish. Be sure to re-

wax these areas even if the rest of the

vehicle does not yet need waxing.

CAUTION

• Wiping dust or dirt off the body

with a dry cloth will scratch the

finish.

• Do not use steel wool, abrasive

cleaners, or strong detergents

containing high alkaline or caustic

agents on chrome-plated or ano‐

dized aluminum parts. This may

result in damage to the protective

coating and cause discoloration or

paint deterioration.

Finish damage repair

Deep scratches or stone chips in the

painted surface must be repaired

promptly. Exposed metal will quickly

rust and may develop into a major re‐

pair expense.

NOTICE

If your vehicle is damaged 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 surfaces of bright-

metal parts from corrosion, apply a

coating of wax or chrome preserva‐

tive and rub to a high luster.

• During winter weather or in coastal

areas, cover the bright metal parts

with a heavier coating of wax or

preservative. If necessary, coat the

parts with non-corrosive petroleum

jelly or other protective compound.

Maintenance

7-84

Underbody maintenance

Corrosive materials used for ice and

snow removal and dust control may

collect on the underbody. If these ma‐

terials are not removed, accelerated

rusting can occur on underbody parts

such as the fuel lines, frame, floor pan

and exhaust system, even though they

have been treated with rust protection.

Thoroughly flush the vehicle underbody

and wheel openings with lukewarm or

cold water once a month, after off-

road driving and at the end of each

winter. Pay special attention to these

areas because it is difficult to see all

the mud and dirt. It will do more harm

than good to wet down the road grime

without removing it. The lower edges

of doors, rocker panels, and frame

members have drain holes that should

not be allowed to clog with dirt; trap‐

ped water in these areas can cause

rusting.

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 finish.

• Do not use any abrasive cleaner, pol‐

ishing compound, solvent, or wire

brushes on aluminum wheels. They

may scratch or damage the finish.

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

gent, and rinse thoroughly with wa‐

ter. Also, be sure to clean the wheels

after driving on salted roads. This

helps prevent corrosion.

• Avoid washing the wheels with high-

speed car wash brushes.

• Do not use any alkaline or acid deter‐

gent. It may damage and corrode the

aluminum wheels coated with a clear

protective finish.

Corrosion protection

Protecting your vehicle from corrosion

By using the most advanced design and

construction practices to combat corro‐

sion, we produces cars of the highest

quality. However, this is only part of

the job. To achieve the long-term cor‐

rosion resistance your vehicle can deliv‐

er, the owner's cooperation and assis‐

tance is also required.

Common causes of corrosion

The most common causes of corrosion

on your car are:

• Road salt, dirt and moisture that is

allowed to accumulate underneath

the car.

• Removal of paint or protective coat‐

ings by stones, gravel, abrasion or

minor scrapes and dents which leave

unprotected metal exposed to corro‐

sion.

High-corrosion areas

If you live in an area where your car is

regularly exposed to corrosive materi‐

als, corrosion protection is particularly

important. Some of the common cau‐

ses of accelerated corrosion are road

salts, dust control chemicals, ocean air

and industrial pollution.

Moisture breeds corrosion

7-85

7

Maintenance

Moisture creates the conditions in

which corrosion is most likely to occur.

For example, corrosion is accelerated

by high humidity, particularly when

temperatures are just above freezing.

In such conditions, the corrosive mate‐

rial is kept in contact with the car sur‐

faces by moisture that is slow to evap‐

orate.

Mud is particularly corrosive because it

is slow to dry and holds moisture in

contact with the vehicle. Although the

mud appears to be dry, it can still re‐

tain the moisture and promote corro‐

sion.

High temperatures can also accelerate

corrosion of parts that are not properly

ventilated so the moisture can be dis‐

persed. For all these reasons, it is par‐

ticularly important to keep your car

clean and free of mud or accumulations

of other materials. This applies not only

to the visible surfaces but particularly

to the underside of the car.

To help prevent corrosion

You can help prevent corrosion from

getting started by observing the fol‐

lowing:

Keep your car clean

The best way to prevent corrosion is to

keep your car clean and free of corro‐

sive materials. Attention to the under‐

side of the car is particularly important.

• If you live in a high-corrosion area

where road salts are used, near the

ocean, areas with industrial pollution,

acid rain, etc., you should take extra

care to prevent corrosion. In winter,

hose off the underside of your car at

least once a month and be sure to

clean the underside thoroughly when

winter is over.

• When cleaning underneath the car,

give particular attention to the com‐

ponents under the fenders and other

areas that are hidden from view. Do a

thorough job; just dampening the ac‐

cumulated mud rather than washing

it away will accelerate corrosion rath‐

er than prevent it. Water under high

pressure and steam are particularly

effective in removing accumulated

mud and corrosive materials.

• When cleaning lower door panels,

rocker panels and frame 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 garage dry

Don't park your car in a damp, poorly

ventilated garage. This creates a favor‐

able environment for corrosion. This is

particularly true if you wash your car in

the garage or drive it into the garage

when it is still wet or covered with

snow, ice or mud. Even a heated garage

can contribute to corrosion unless it is

well ventilated so moisture is dispersed.

Keep paint and trim in good

condition

Scratches or chips in the finish should

be covered with "touch-up" paint as

soon as possible to reduce the possibili‐

ty of corrosion. If bare metal is showing

through, the attention of a qualified

body and paint shop is recommended.

Bird droppings: Bird droppings are high‐

ly corrosive and may damage painted

surfaces in just a few hours. Always re‐

move bird droppings as soon as possi‐

ble.

Maintenance

7-86

Don't neglect the interior

Moisture can collect under the floor

mats and carpeting to cause corrosion.

Check under the mats periodically to be

sure the carpeting is dry. Use particular

care if you carry fertilizers, cleaning

materials or chemicals in the car.

These should be carried only in proper

containers and any spills or leaks

should be cleaned up, flushed with

clean water and thoroughly dried.

Interior care

Interior general precautions

Prevent chemicals such as perfume,

cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand cleaner

and air freshener from contacting the

interior parts because they may cause

damage or discoloration. If they do con‐

tact the interior parts, wipe them off

immediately. If necessary, use a vinyl

cleaner, see instructions for correct us‐

age.

CAUTION

Never allow water or other liquids to

come in contact with electrical/elec‐
(Continued)

tronic components inside the vehicle

as this may damage them.

Fabric seat cover (If equipped)

Please clean the fabric seats regularly

with a vacuum cleaner in consideration

of fabric material characteristics. If

they are heavily soiled with beverage

stains, etc., use a suitable interior

cleaner. To prevent damage to seat

covers, wipe off the seat covers down

to the seams with a large wiping mo‐

tion and moderate pressure using a

soft sponge or microfiber cloth.

Velcro closures on clothing or sharp ob‐

jects may cause snagging or scratches

on the surface of the seats.

Make sure not to rub such objects

against the surface.

Nappa leather seat cover (If

equipped)

Nappa leather retains the hide's own

soft texture with visible pores, scars or

blood vessels, etc. Pressure marks or

wrinkles may be made when used. Pro‐

longed exposure to sunlight or heat

may cause discoloration. These things

occur due to the natural characteristics

of cowhides. If the leather is exposed to

rain or gets wet, remove water with a

dry cloth and dry the leather in the

shade to minimize damage.

Make sure to keep sharp objects away

from the leather as these can create

scratches on the surface. For light-col‐

ored leather, be careful of spots or col‐

or transfer, such as from jeans.

Natural leather seat cover (If

equipped)

Natural leather has visible pores, scars

or blood vessels, etc. Pressure marks or

wrinkles may be made when used. Pro‐

longed exposure to sunlight or heat

may cause discoloration. These things

occur due to the natural characteristics

of cowhides. If the leather is exposed to

rain or gets wet, remove water with a

dry cloth and dry the leather in the

shade to minimize damage.

Maintenance

Make sure to keep sharp objects away

from the leather as these can create

scratches on the surface. For light-col‐

ored leather, be careful of spots or col‐

or transfer, such as from jeans.

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.

Cleaning the upholstery and

interior trim

Vinyl

Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl

with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.

Clean vinyl surfaces with a vinyl clean‐

er.

Fabric

Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric

with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.

Clean with a mild soap solution recom‐

mended for upholstery or carpets. Re‐

move fresh spots immediately 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 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 webbing with any mild

soap solution recommended for clean‐

ing upholstery or carpet. Follow the in‐

structions provided with the soap. Do

not bleach or re-dye the webbing be‐

cause this may weaken it.

Cleaning the interior window glass

If the interior glass surfaces of the ve‐

hicle become fogged (that is, covered

with an oily, greasy or waxy film), they

should be cleaned with glass cleaner.

Follow the directions on the glass

cleaner container.

CAUTION

Do not scrape or scratch the inside

of the rear window. This may result

in damage to the rear window de‐

froster grid.

Maintenance

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

The emission control system of your

vehicle is covered by a written limited

warranty. Please see the warranty in‐

formation contained in the Service

Passport in your vehicle.

Your vehicle is equipped with an emis‐

sion control system to meet all applica‐

ble emission regulations.

There are three emission control sys‐

tems, as follows.

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

tem

3. Exhaust emission control system

In order to assure the proper function

of the emission control systems, have

your vehicle inspected and maintained

by a professional workshop in accord‐

ance with the maintenance schedule in

this manual. Kia recommends to visit an

authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

Caution for the Inspection and Mainte‐

nance Test (With Electronic Stability

Control (ESC) system)

• To prevent the vehicle from misfiring

during dynamometer testing, turn

the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

system off by pressing the ESC

switch.

• After dynamometer testing is com‐

pleted, turn the ESC system back on

by pressing the ESC switch again.

1. Crankcase emission control

system

The positive crankcase ventilation sys‐

tem is employed to prevent air pollu‐

tion caused by blow-by gases being

emitted from the crankcase. This sys‐

tem supplies fresh filtered air to the

crankcase through the air intake hose.

Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mix‐

es with blow-by gases, which then pass

through the PCV valve into the induc‐

tion system.

2. Evaporative emission control

system

The Evaporative Emission Control Sys‐

tem is designed to prevent fuel vapors

from escaping into the atmosphere.

Canister

Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel

tank are absorbed and stored in the on‐

board canister. When the engine is run‐

ning, the fuel vapors absorbed in the

canister are drawn into the surge tank

through the purge control solenoid

valve.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)

The purge control solenoid valve is con‐

trolled by the Engine Control Module

(ECM); when the engine coolant tem‐

perature is low during idling, the PCSV

closes so that evaporated 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 con‐

trols exhaust emissions while maintain‐

ing good vehicle performance.

Vehicle modifications

This vehicle should not be modified.

Modification of your vehicle could affect

its performance, safety or durability

and may even violate governmental

safety and emissions regulations.

In addition, damage or performance

problems resulting from any modifica‐

tion may not be covered under warran‐

ty.

7-89

Maintenance

• 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 elec‐

tronic 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 vehicle, 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 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 engine in confined

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 vehi‐

cle 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 catalytic

converters (if equipped)

WARNING

n Fire

(Continued)

(Continued)

• A hot exhaust system can ignite

flammable items under your vehi‐

cle. Do not park, idle, or drive the

vehicle over or near flammable ob‐

jects, 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.

Therefore, the following precautions

must be observed:

• Make sure to refuel your vehicle ac‐

cording to the Fuel requirements on

page 1-03.

• Do not operate the vehicle when

there are signs of engine malfunction,

such as misfire or a noticeable loss of

performance.

Maintenance

7-90

• Do not misuse or abuse the engine.

Examples of misuse are coasting with

the engine off and descending steep

grades in gear with the engine 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 control

system. Have the system Inspected

by a professional workshop. Kia rec‐

ommends to visit an authorized Kia

dealer/service partner.

• Avoid driving with an extremly low

fuel level. Running out of fuel could

cause the engine to misfire, damag‐

ing the catalytic converter.

Failure to observe these precautions

could result in damage to the catalytic

converter and to your vehicle. Addition‐

ally, such actions could void your war‐

ranties.
