Owner maintenance precau-
tions Improper or incomplete service may
result in problems. This section gives
instructions only for the maintenance
items that are easy to perform.
As explained earlier in this section,
several procedures can be done only
by a qualified service technician with
special tools.✽ ✽
NOTICEImproper owner maintenance dur-
ing the warranty period may affect
warranty coverage. For details, read
the separate Kia Warranty &
Maintenance book provided with
the vehicle. If you're unsure about
any servicing or maintenance proce-
dure, have it done by an Authorized
Kia Dealer.
WARNING
- Maintenance
work
 Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be danger-
ous. You can be seriously
injured while performing some
maintenance procedures. If
you lack sufficient knowledge
and experience or the proper
tools and equipment to do the
work, have it done by a quali-
fied technician.
 Working under the hood with the engine running is danger-
ous. It becomes 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 engine while working
under the hood, make certain
that you remove all jewelry
(especially rings, bracelets,
watches, and necklaces) and
all neckties, scarves, and sim-
ilar loose clothing before get-
ting near the engine or cool-
ing fans.

Oil capacity With filter change :
4.3 liters (4.5 US qt.)
Without filter change :
4.0 liters (4.2 US qt.)Use only the specified Service
Grade engine oil. (Refer to“Recommended Lubricants” later inthis section.)
✽ ✽ NOTICE• Although oil filters may have the
same external appearance, their
internal designs differ significant-
ly. These filters are not inter-
changeable. To avoid potential
engine damage, use only the speci-
fied filter. Consult an Authorized
Kia Dealer.
• Follow these instructions careful- ly. An improper oil filter installa-
tion can cause oil leakage and
engine damage. Drained engine oil
should be disposed of properly,
according to local environmental
protection agency codes. It should
not be thrown down the drain or
in the trash.

For best battery service : Keep the battery securely mount-
ed.
 Keep the battery top clean and dry.
 Keep the terminals and connec-
tions clean, tight, and coated with
petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
 Rinse any spilled electrolyte from
the battery immediately with a
solution of water and baking soda.
 If the vehicle is not going to be
used for an extended time, discon-
nect the battery cables.
Battery recharging Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged
in a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior lights
were left on while the vehicle was
not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
 If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.
CBGQ0705
(Continued)
When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure on
the case may cause battery
acid to leak, resulting in per-
sonal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
 Never attempt to charge the
battery when the battery
cables are connected.
 The electrical ignition system
works with high voltage.
Never touch these compo-
nents with the engine running
or the ignition switched on.

Uniform tire quality grading The following information relates to
the tire grading system developed by
the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (CMVSS) for grading tires
by tread wear, traction and tempera-
ture performance.
Tread wearThe tread wear grade is a compara-
tive rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified govern-
ment test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one-and-a-
half times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions
of their use. However, performance
may differ from the norm because of
variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
These grades are molded on the
side-walls of passenger vehicle tires.
The tires available as standard or
optional equipment on Kia vehicles
may vary with respect to grade.
Traction - A, B & C The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are A, B and C. The grades
represent the tires ability to stop on
wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may
have poor traction performance.Temperature -A, B & C The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B and C. The grades repre-
sent the tire’s resistance to the gener-
ation of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified indoor labo-
ratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tires to
degenerate and reduce tires life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tires failure. Grades A and B
represent higher levels of perform-
ance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by the law.

2. Remove the service cover by turn-
ing the plastic screw counterclock-
wise and removing the cover. 3. Remove the socket from the
assembly by turning the socket
counterclockwise until the tabs on
the socket align with the slots on
the assembly. 4. Remove the bulb from the socket
by pressing it in and rotating it until
the tabs on the bulb align with the
slots in the socket. Pull the bulb
out of the socket.
5. Insert a new bulb by inserting it into the socket and rotating it until
it locks into place.
6. Install the socket in the assembly by aligning the tabs on the socket
with the slots in the assembly.
Push the socket into the assembly
and turn the socket clockwise.
7. Replace the service cover and tighten the screw.

LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS Recommended lubricants To help achieve proper engine and
powertrain performance and durabil-
ity, use only lubricants of the proper
quality. The correct lubricants also
help promote engine efficiency that
results in improved fuel economy.
Engine oils labeled Energy
Conserving Oil are now available.
Along with other additional benefits,
they contribute to fuel economy by
reducing the amount of fuel neces-
sary to overcome engine friction.
Often, these improvements are diffi-
cult to measure in everyday driving,
but in a year’ s time, they can offer
significant cost and energy savings.
