Maintenance7-10Owner MaintenanceOwner Maintenance ScheduleA qualified service technician should perform these
vehicle inspections at the indicated intervals to ensure
safe and dependable operation.
Bring any problem to the attention of an Authorized
Kia Dealer as soon as possible.
When refueling, check:
 Engine oil level
 Engine coolant level
 Brake and clutch fluid level
 Washer fluid level
CAUTION
Be careful when checking your engine coolant
level. The engine compartment will be hot and
you could be burned.
At least monthly:
 Tire inflation pressures (cold)
 Coolant level in reservoir (cold engine)
Every 6 months, check:
 Power steering fluid level
 Automatic transaxle fluid level
You can do the following scheduled maintenance items
if you have some mechanical ability, a few basic tools
and if you closely follow the directions in this manual.

Tires and WheelsTire CareFor proper maintenance, safety, and maximum fuel
economy, you must always maintain recommended tire
inflation pressures and stay within the load limits and
weight distribution recommended for your vehicle.Inflation PressuresCheck all tire pressures (including the spare) monthly
when the tires are cold. “Cold tires” means the car has
not been driven for at least three hours or driven less
than 1.6 km (one mile). Recommended pressures must
be maintained to ensure ride quality, vehicle handling,
and minimum tire wear.Maintenance7-34
All specifications (sizes and pressures) can be found
on a label attached to the front passenger door sill.
The correct tire pressure is 200 kPa (29 psi)
The compact spare should be at 415 kPa (60 psi).

Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is recommended that the tires
be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles), or sooner if
irregular wear develops.
✻ ✻
NOTICE
 Warm tires normally exceed recommended
cold tire pressures by 28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi).
Do not release air from warm tires to adjust the
pressure. The tires will become underinflated
when cold.
 Underinflation results in excessive wear, poor
handling, reduced fuel economy, and the
possibility of blowouts from overheated tires.
Also, low tire pressure can cause poor sealing
of the tire bead. If the tire pressure is
excessively low, wheel deformation and/or tire
separation are possible. Keep tire pressures at
the proper levels. If a tire frequently needs
refilling, have it checked by an authorized Kia
dealer or a tire shop.
 Overinflation produces a harsh ride, handling
problems, excessive wear at the center of the
tire tread, and a greater possibility of damage
from road hazards.
WARNING -Tire Inflation
Overinflation or underinflation can reduce tire
life, adversely affect vehicle handling, and lead
to sudden tire failure. This could result in loss
of vehicle control.

Lubricant SpecificationsRecommended LubricantsTo help achieve proper engine and powertrain
performance and durability, use only lubricants of the
proper quality. The correct lubricants also help
promote engine efficiency which 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 necessary to overcome engine friction. Often,
these improvements are difficult to measure in
everyday driving, but in a year’s time they can offer
significant cost and energy savings.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.
Lubricant Classification
Engine oil *1
API Service SJ, SL or above, ILSAC GF-3 or above
Manual transaxle oil API Service GL-4 (SAE 75W-85)
Automatic transaxle fluid SK ATF SP-III or DIAMOND ATF SP-III
Power steering fluid PSF-III
Brake/clutch fluid SAEJ1703 or FMVSS116 DOT-3 or DOT-4
*¹ Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
RIO ENG CNA 7-2.qxd 7/29/05 5:18 PM Page 47

Maintenance7-48
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel
economy and cold weather operation (starting and oil
flow). Lower viscosity engine oils can provide better
fuel economy and cold weather performance, however,
higher viscosity engine oils are required for
satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of
any viscosity other than those recommended could
result in engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of
temperature your vehicle will be operated in before the
next oil change. Then select the recommended oil
viscosity from the chart.
✻ ✻
NOTICE
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler
plug, drain plug, or dipstick before checking or
draining any lubricant. This is especially
important in dusty or sandy areas and when the
vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the
plug and dipstick areas will prevent dirt and grit
from entering the engine and other mechanisms
that could be damaged.

7-51 Finish Damage Repair
Deep scratches or stone chips in the painted surface
must be repaired promptly. Exposed metal will quickly
rust and may develop into a major repair expense.Bright-Metal Maintenance To remove road tar and insects, use a tar remover,
not a scraper or other sharp object.
 To protect the surfaces of bright-metal parts from
corrosion, apply a coating of wax or chrome
preservative and rub to a high luster.
 During winter weather or in coastal areas, cover the
bright metal parts with a heavier coating of wax or
preservative. If necessary, coat the parts with non-
corrosive petroleum jelly or other protective
compound.
✻ ✻
NOTICE
If your vehicle is damaged and requires any metal
repair or replacement, be sure the body shop
applies anti-corrosion materials to the parts
repaired or replaced.
Underbody MaintenanceCorrosive materials used for ice and snow removal or
dust control may collect on the underbody. If these
materials are not removed, accelerated rusting can
occur on underbody parts, such as the fuel lines, frame,
floor pan and exhaust system, even though they have
been treated with rust protection.
Thoroughly flush the vehicle underbody and wheel
openings with lukewarm or cold water once a month
and especially at the end of each winter. Pay special
attention to these areas because it is difficult to see all
the mud and dirt. The lower edges of doors, rocker
panels, and frame members have drain holes that
should not be allowed to clog with dirt; trapped water
in these areas can cause rusting. It will do more harm
than good to wet down the road grime without
removing it.
