Corrosion protection

Protecting your vehicle from corro-
sion

By using the most advanced design
and construction practices to combat
corrosion, we produces cars of the
highest quality. However, this is only
part of the job. To achieve the long-
term corrosion resistance your vehi-
cle can deliver, the owner's coopera-
tion and assistance is also required.

Common causes of corrosion

The most common causes of corro-
sion on your car are:
• Road salt, dirt and moisture that is

allowed to accumulate underneath
the car.

• Removal of paint or protective

coatings by stones, gravel, abra-
sion or minor scrapes and dents
which leave unprotected metal
exposed to corrosion.

High-corrosion areas

If you live in an area where your car
is regularly exposed to corrosive
materials, corrosion protection is
particularly important. Some of the
common causes of accelerated cor-
rosion are road salts, dust control
chemicals, ocean air and industrial
pollution.

Moisture breeds corrosion

Moisture creates the conditions in
which corrosion is most likely to
occur. For example, corrosion is
accelerated by high humidity, partic-
ularly when temperatures are just
above freezing. In such conditions,
the corrosive material is kept in con-
tact with the car surfaces by moisture
that is slow to evaporate.
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 retain the moisture and
promote corrosion.

High temperatures can also acceler-
ate corrosion of parts that are not
properly ventilated so the moisture
can be dispersed. For all these rea-
sons, it is particularly 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
corrosive materials. Attention to the
underside 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
components under the fenders and
other areas that are hidden from
view. Do a thorough job; just damp-
ening the accumulated mud rather
than washing it away will acceler-
ate corrosion rather 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 accel-
erate corrosion.

Keep your garage dry
Don't park your car in a damp, poor-
ly ventilated garage. This creates a
favorable 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 cov-
ered with snow, ice or mud. Even a
heated garage can contribute to cor-
rosion unless it is well ventilated so
moisture is dispersed.

Keep paint and trim in good con-
dition
Scratches or chips in the finish
should be covered with "touch-up"
paint as soon as possible to reduce
the possibility of corrosion. If bare
metal is showing through, the atten-
tion of a qualified body and paint
shop is recommended.

Bird droppings : Bird droppings are
highly corrosive and may damage
painted surfaces in just a few hours.
Always remove bird droppings as
soon as possible.

Don't neglect the interior
Moisture can collect under the floor
mats and carpeting to cause corro-
sion. Check under the mats periodi-
cally to be sure the carpeting is dry.
Use particular care if you carry fertil-
izers, cleaning materials or chemi-
cals 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.

Maintenance

Interior care

Interior general precautions

Prevent chemicals such as perfume,
cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand clean-
er, and air freshener from contacting
the interior parts because they may
cause damage or discoloration. If
they do contact the interior parts,
wipe them off immediately. See the
instructions for the proper way to
clean vinyl.

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 qual-
ity.

• 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 contaminates instantly.

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 contam-
inations do not smear.

• Oil

- Remove oil instantly with

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

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 alcohol
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.

CAUTION

• Chewing gum

- Harden the gum with ice and

remove gradually.

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.

✽

NOTICE

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
glass cleaner. Follow the directions
on the glass cleaner container.

Rear Window

Do not scrape or scratch the
inside of the rear window. This
may result in damage to 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 & Maintenance booklet 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
car inspected and maintained by an
authorized K900 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.)

KH USA 7:2018 4/14/2017 6:41 PM Page 104

Maintenance

7-105

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
engine intake manifold through the
purge control solenoid 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 modi-

fied. Modification of your vehicle
could affect its performance, safety
or durability and may even violate
governmental safety and emis-
sions regulations.
In addition, damage or perform-
ance problems resulting from any
modification may not be covered
under warranty.

• Use of unauthorized electric

devices may cause: Abnormal
vehicle operation, Wire damage,
Battery discharge, Fire.
Be careful not to damage your
vehicle by use of unauthorized
electric 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.

KH USA 7:2018 4/14/2017 6:41 PM Page 105

7-106

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.

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.

WARNING

Engine exhaust and a wide vari-
ety of automobile components
and parts, including compo-
nents found in the interior fur-
nishings in a vehicle, contain or
emit chemicals known to the
State of California to cause can-
cer and birth defects and repro-
ductive harm. In addition, cer-
tain fluids contained in vehicles
and certain products of compo-
nent wear contain or emit chem-
icals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm.

Operating precautions for catalyt-
ic converters (if equipped)

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 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 con-
trol system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer.

• Avoid driving with a very low fuel

level. If you run out of gasoline, it
could cause the engine to misfire
and result in excessive loading of
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.

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.

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.
