ENGINE COOLANT
The high-pressure cooling system has
a reservoir filled with year-round anti‐
freeze coolant. The reservoir is filled at
the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at the
beginning of the winter season, and be‐
fore traveling to a colder climate.
CAUTION
• When the engine overheats from
low engine coolant, suddenly add‐
ing engine coolant may cause
cracks in the engine. To prevent
damage, add engine coolant slowly
in small quantities.
• Do not drive without engine cool‐
ant. It may cause water pump fail‐
ure and engine seizure, etc.
Checking the coolant level
WARNING
Removing radiator cap
• Never attempt to remove the radi‐
ator cap while the engine is oper‐
ating or hot. Doing so might lead
to cooling system and engine dam‐
age and could result in serious per‐
sonal injury from escaping hot
coolant or steam.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Turn the engine off and wait until
it cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the radiator cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it, and
turn it counterclockwise slowly to
the first stop. Step back while the
pressure is released from the cool‐
ing system.
When you are sure all the pressure
has been released, press down on
the cap, using a thick towel, and
continue turning counterclockwise
to remove it.
• Even if the engine is not operating,
do not remove the radiator cap or
the drain plug while the engine and
radiator are hot. Hot coolant and
steam may still blow out under
pressure, causing serious injury.
Maintenance
7-32
WARNING
The electric motor (cool‐
ing fan) is controlled by
engine coolant tempera‐
ture, refrigerant pressure
and vehicle speed.
It may sometimes operate even
when the engine is not running. Use
extreme caution when working near
the blades of the cooling fan so that
you are not injured by a rotating fan
blades. As the engine coolant tem‐
perature decreases, the electric mo‐
tor will automatically shut off. This
is a normal condition.
Check the condition and connections of
all cooling system hoses and heater ho‐
ses. Replace any swollen or deteriora‐
ted hoses.
The coolant level should be filled be‐
tween F and L marks on the side of the
coolant reservoir when the engine is
cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) water. Bring the
level to F (Full), but do not overfill.
If frequent additions are required, have
the system inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Recommended engine coolant
• When adding coolant, use only deion‐
ized water or soft water for your ve‐
hicle and never mix hard water in the
coolant filled at the factory. An im‐
proper coolant mixture can result in
serious malfunction or engine dam‐
age.
• The engine in your vehicle has alumi‐
num engine parts and must be pro‐
tected by an ethylene-glycol-based
coolant to prevent corrosion and
freezing.
• DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol
coolant or mix them with the speci‐
fied coolant.
• Do not use a solution that contains
more than 60% antifreeze or less
than 35% antifreeze, which would re‐
duce the effectiveness of the solu‐
tion.
For mixture percentage, refer to the
following table.

Radiator cap
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine and radiator are
hot. Scalding hot coolant and steam
may blow out under pressure caus‐
ing serious injury.
Changing the coolant
Have the coolant replaced by a profes‐
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
CAUTION
Put a thick cloth around the radiator
cap before refilling the coolant in or‐
der to prevent the coolant from
overflowing into engine parts such
as the alternator.
WARNING
n Coolant
• Do not use radiator coolant or an‐
tifreeze in the washer fluid reser‐
voir.
• Radiator coolant can severely ob‐
scure visibility when sprayed on
the windshield and may cause loss
of vehicle control or damage the
paint and body trim.
Maintenance

BRAKE FLUID
Checking the brake fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir pe‐
riodically. The fluid level should be be‐
tween MAX and MIN marks on the side
of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap and
adding brake fluid, clean the area
around the reservoir cap thoroughly to
prevent brake fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level. The level will fall with accumula‐
ted mileage. This is a normal condition
associated with the wear of the brake
linings.
If the fluid level is excessively low, have
the system checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Use only the specified brake fluid. (Re‐
fer to Recommended lubricants and
Never mix different types of fluid.
WARNING
n Loss of brake fluid
In the event the brake/clutch system
requires frequent additions of fluid,
have the system Inspected by a pro‐
fessional workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
WARNING
n Brake fluid
When changing and adding brake flu‐
id, handle it carefully. Do not let it
come in contact with your eyes. If
(Continued)
(Continued)
brake fluid should come in contact
with your eyes, immediately flush
them with a large quantity of fresh
tap water. Have your eyes examined
by a doctor as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake fluid to contact
the vehicle's body paint, as paint
damage will result. Brake fluid,
which has been exposed to open air
for an extended time should never
be used as its quality cannot be
guaranteed. It should be disposed of
properly. Don't put in the wrong kind
of fluid. A few drops of mineral-
based oil, such as engine oil, in your
brake system can damage brake
system parts.

POWER STEERING FLUID
Checking the power steering
fluid level
With the vehicle on level ground, check
the fluid level in the power steering
reservoir periodically. The fluid should
be between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the gauge at the normal tem‐
perature.
Before adding power steering fluid,
thoroughly clean the area around the
reservoir cap to prevent power steering
fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level.
NOTICE
Check that the fluid level is in the
"HOT" range on the gauge. If the flu‐
id is cold, check that it is in the
"COLD" range.
In the event the brake/clutch system
requires frequent additions of fluid,
have the system Inspected by a profes‐
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
CAUTION
• To avoid damage to the power
steering pump, do not operate the
vehicle for prolonged periods with
a low power steering fluid level.
• Never start the engine when the
reservoir tank is empty.
• When adding fluid, be careful that
dirt does not get into the tank.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Too little fluid can result in in‐
creased steering effort and/or
noise from the power steering
system.
• The use of the non-specified fluid
could reduce the effectiveness of
the power steering system and
cause damage to it.
Use only the specified power steering
fluid. (Refer to Recommended lubri‐
cants and capacities on page 8-10.)
Checking the power steering
hose
Check the connections for oil leaks,
damage and twists in the power steer‐
ing hose before driving.
Maintenance
7-36
WASHER FLUID
Checking the washer fluid level
The reservoir is translucent so that you
can check the level with a quick visual
inspection.
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir and add fluid if necessary.
Plain water may be used if washer fluid
is not available. However, use washer
solvent with antifreeze characteristics
in cold climates to prevent freezing.
WARNING
n Coolant
• Do not use radiator coolant or an‐
tifreeze in the washer fluid reser‐
voir.
• Radiator coolant can severely ob‐
scure visibility when sprayed on
the windshield and may cause loss
of vehicle control or damage to
paint and body trim.
• Windshield washer fluid agents
contain some amounts of alcohol
and can be flammable under cer‐
tain circumstances. Do not allow
sparks or flame to contact the
washer fluid or the washer fluid
reservoir. Damage to the vehicle or
occupants could occur.
