MAINTENANCE SERVICES

You should exercise the utmost care to

prevent damage to your vehicle and in‐

jury to yourself whenever performing

any maintenance or inspection proce‐

dures.

Inadequate, incomplete or insufficient

servicing may result in operational

problems with your vehicle that could

lead to vehicle damage, an accident, or

personal injury.

Owner’s responsibility

NOTICE

Maintenance Service and Record Re‐

tention are the owner's responsibili‐

ty.

Have your vehicle serviced by a profes‐

sional workshop. Kia recommends to

visit an authorized Kia dealer/service

partner.

You should retain documents that show

proper maintenance has been per‐

formed on your vehicle in accordance

with the scheduled maintenance serv‐

ice charts shown on the following pa‐

ges.

You need this information to establish

your compliance with the servicing and

maintenance requirements of your ve‐

hicle warranties.

Detailed warranty information is provi‐

ded in your Warranty & Maintenance

book.

Repairs and adjustments required as a

result of improper maintenance or a

lack of required maintenance are not

covered when your vehicle is covered by

warranty.

Owner maintenance precautions

Improper or incomplete service may re‐

sult in problems. This section gives in‐

structions only for the maintenance

items that are easy to perform.

NOTICE

Improper owner maintenance during

the warranty period may affect

warranty coverage. For details, read

the separate Warranty & Mainte‐

nance book provided with the vehi‐

cle. If you're unsure about any serv‐

icing or maintenance procedure,

have the system serviced by a pro‐
(Continued)

fessional workshop. Kia recommends

to visit an authorized Kia dealer/

service partner.

WARNING

n Maintenance work

• Performing maintenance work on

a vehicle can be dangerous. You

can be seriously injured while per‐

forming some maintenance proce‐

dures. If you lack sufficient knowl‐

edge and experience or the proper

tools and equipment to do the

work, have the system serviced by

a professional workshop. Kia rec‐

ommends to visit an authorized

Kia dealer/service partner.

(Continued)

Maintenance

(Continued)

• Working under the hood with the

engine running is dangerous. It be‐

comes even more dangerous when

you wear jewelry or loose clothing.

These can become entangled in

moving parts and result in injury.

Therefore, if you must run the en‐

gine while working under the hood,

make certain that you remove all

jewelry (especially rings, bracelets,

watches, and necklaces) and all

neckties, scarves, and similar loose

clothing before getting near the

engine or cooling fans.

CAUTION

• Do not put heavy objects or apply

excessive force on top of the en‐

gine cover (if equipped) or fuel re‐

lated parts.

• When you inspect the fuel system

(fuel lines and fuel injection devi‐

ces), contact a professional work‐

shop. Kia recommends to visit an

authorized Kia dealer/service part‐

ner.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Do not drive long time with the en‐

gine cover (if equipped) removed.

• When checking the engine room,

do not go near fire.

Fuel, washer fluid, etc. are flam‐

mable oils that may cause fire.

• Before touching the battery, igni‐

tion cables and electrical wiring,

you should disconnect the battery

"-" terminal. You may get an elec‐

tric shock from the electric cur‐

rent.

• When you remove the interior trim

cover with a flat bed (-) driver, be

careful not to damage the cover.

• Be careful when you replace and

clean bulbs to avoid burns or elec‐

trical shock.

OWNER MAINTENANCE

The following lists are vehicle checks

and inspections that should be per‐

formed at the frequencies indicated to

help ensure safe, dependable operation

of your vehicle.

Any adverse conditions should be

brought to the attention of your dealer

as soon as possible.

These Owner Maintenance Checks are

generally not covered by warranties

and you may be charged for labor,

parts and lubricants used.

Owner maintenance schedule

When you stop for fuel:

• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the coolant level in the coolant

reservoir.

• Check the windshield washer fluid

level.

• Look for low or under-inflated tires.

WARNING

Be careful when checking your en‐

gine coolant level when the engine is

hot. Scalding hot coolant and steam

(Continued)

may blow out under pressure. This

could cause burns or other serious

injury.

While operating your vehicle:

• Note any changes in the sound of the

exhaust or any smell of exhaust

fumes in the vehicle.

• Check for vibrations in the steering

wheel. Notice any increased steering

effort or looseness in the steering

wheel, or change in its straight-

ahead position.

• Notice if your vehicle constantly

turns slightly or pulls to one side

when traveling on smooth, level road.

• When stopping, listen and check for

unusual sounds, pulling to one side,

increased brake pedal travel or hard-

to-push brake pedal.

• If any slipping or changes in the oper‐

ation of your transaxle occurs, check

the transaxle fluid level.

• Check manual transaxle operation, in‐

cluding clutch operation.

• Check the automatic transaxle P

(Park) function.

• Check the parking brake.
• Check for fluid leaks under your vehi‐

cle (water dripping from the air con‐

ditioning system during or after use

is normal).

At least monthly:

• Check the coolant level in the engine

coolant reservoir.

• Check the operation of all exterior

lights, including the stoplights, turn

signals and hazard warning flashers.

• Check the inflation pressures of all

tires including the spare.

At least twice a year (i.e., every

Spring and Fall):

• Check the radiator, heater and air

conditioning hoses for leaks or dam‐

age.

• Check the windshield washer spray

and wiper operation. Clean the wiper

blades with clean cloth dampened

with washer fluid.

• Check the headlight alignment.
• Check the muffler, exhaust pipes,

shields and clamps.
