EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS

Engine oil and filter

The engine oil and filter should be

changed at the intervals specified in

the maintenance schedule. If the vehi‐

cle is being driven in severe conditions,

more frequent oil and filter changes are

required.

Drive belts

Inspect all drive belts for evidence of

cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil satu‐

ration and replace if necessary. Drive

belts should be checked periodically for

proper tension and adjusted as neces‐

sary.

CAUTION

When you are inspecting the belt,

place the ignition switch in the

LOCK/OFF or ACC position.

Fuel filter cartridge (for diesel)

A clogged filter can limit the speed at

which the vehicle may be driven, dam‐

age the emission system and cause

multiple issues such as hard starting. If

an excessive amount of foreign matter

accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter

may require replacement more fre‐

quently.

After installing a new filter, run the en‐

gine for several minutes, and check for

leaks at the connections. Have the fuel

filter replaced by a professional work‐

shop. Kia recommends to visit an au‐

thorized Kia dealer/service partner.

Fuel filter (for gasoline)

Kia gasoline vehicle is equipped a life‐

time fuel filter that integrated with the

fuel tank. Regular maintenance or re‐

placement is not needed but depends

on fuel quality. If there are some im‐

portant safety matters like fuel flow

restriction, surging, loss of power, hard

starting problem etc, fuel filter inspec‐

tion or replace is needed.

Have the fuel filter inspected or re‐

placed by a professional workshop. Kia

recommends to visit an authorized Kia

dealer/service partner.

Fuel lines, fuel hoses and

connections

Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and

connections for leakage and damage.

Have the fuel lines, fuel hoses and con‐

nections replaced by a professional

workshop. Kia recommends to visit an

authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

WARNING

n Diesel only

Never work on the injection system

with the engine running or within 30

seconds after shutting off the en‐

gine. High pressure pump, rail, injec‐

tors and high pressure pipes are

subject to high pressure even after

the engine stops. The fuel jet pro‐

duced by fuel leaks may cause seri‐

ous injury, if it touches the body.

People using pacemakers should not

more move than 30 cm closer to the

ECU or wiring harness within the en‐

gine room while the engine is run‐

ning, since the high currents in the

Common Rail system produce con‐

siderable magnetic fields.

Maintenance

Vapor hose (for gasoline engine)

and fuel filler cap

The vapor hose and fuel filler cap

should be inspected at those intervals

specified in the maintenance schedule.

Make sure that a new vapor hose or

fuel filler cap is correctly replaced.

Vacuum crankcase ventilation

hoses (if equipped)

Inspect the surface of hoses for evi‐

dence of heat and/or mechanical dam‐

age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking,

tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive

swelling indicate deterioration. Particu‐

lar attention should be paid to examine

those hose surfaces nearest to high

heat sources, such as the exhaust

manifold.

Inspect the hose routing to assure that

the hoses do not come in contact with

any heat source, sharp edges or mov‐

ing component which might cause heat

damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all

hose connections, such as clamps and

couplings, to make sure they are se‐

cure, and that no leaks are present. Ho‐

ses should be replaced immediately if

there is any evidence of deterioration

or damage.

Air cleaner filter

Have the air cleaner filter replaced by a

professional workshop. Kia recom‐

mends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/

service partner.

Spark plugs (for gasoline engine)

Make sure to install new spark plugs of

the correct heat range.

WARNING

Do not disconnect and inspect spark

plugs when the engine is hot. You

may burn yourself.

Valve clearance (for Kappa 1.0L

T-GDI engine)

Inspect for excessive valve noise and/or

engine vibration and adjust if necessa‐

ry. In this case, have the system serv‐

iced by a professional workshop. Kia

recommends to visit an authorized Kia

dealer/service partner.

Cooling system

Check the cooling system components,

such as the radiator, coolant reservoir,

hoses and connections for leakage and

damage. Replace any damaged parts.

Coolant

The coolant should be changed at the

intervals specified in the maintenance

schedule.

Manual transaxle fluid (if

equipped)

Inspect the manual transaxle fluid ac‐

cording to the maintenance schedule.

Automatic transaxle fluid (if

equipped)

Automatic transaxle fluid should not be

checked under normal usage conditions.

Have the automatic transmission fluid

changed by a professional workshop

according to the maintenance schedule.

Kia recommends to visit an authorized

Kia dealer/service partner.

NOTICE

Automatic transaxle fluid color is ba‐

sically red.

As the vehicle is driven, the auto‐

matic transaxle fluid will begin to

look darker. It is normal condition

and you should not judge the need

to replace the fluid based upon the

changed color.

CAUTION

The use of a non-specified fluid

could result in transaxle malfunction

and failure.

Use only specified automatic trans‐

axle fluid. (Refer to Recommended

lubricants and capacities on page

9-13.)

Brake hoses and lines

Visually check for proper installation,

chafing, cracks, deterioration and any

leakage. Replace any deteriorated or

damaged parts immediately.

Brake/Clutch fluid (if equipped)

Check the brake/clutch fluid level in the

brake/clutch fluid reservoir. The level

should be between MIN and MAX

marks on the side of the reservoir. Use

only hydraulic brake/clutch fluid con‐

forming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifica‐

tion.

Parking brake

Inspect the parking brake system in‐

cluding the parking brake lever (or ped‐

al) and cables.

Brake discs, pads, calipers and

rotors

Check the pads for excessive wear,

discs for run out and wear, and calipers

for fluid leakage.

For more information on checking the

pads or lining wear limit, we recom‐

mend to refer to the Kia web site.

(www.kia-hotline.com)

Suspension mounting bolts

Check the suspension connections for

looseness or damage. Retighten to the

specified torque.

Steering gear box linkage &

boots/lower arm ball joint

With the vehicle stopped and engine

off, check for excessive free-play in the

steering wheel.

Check the linkage for bends or damage.

Check the dust boots and ball joints for

deterioration, cracks, or damage. Re‐

place any damaged parts.

Drive shafts and boots

Check the drive shafts, boots and

clamps for cracks, deterioration, or

damage. Replace any damaged parts

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 with no 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. Also, hot coolant or steam

could cause serious personal in‐

jury.

• 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.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• 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.

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.

■ Kappa 1.0L T-GDI Engine (Gasoline)

■ Kappa 1.2L/1.4L MPI Engine (Gasoline)

OYB076011B

U-II 1.4/1.6L Engine (Diesel)

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 MAX and MIN (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) or soft water. Bring

the level to MAX (F), 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 with

phosphate 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.
