NOTICE When cleaning the seats, do not use an organic
solvent such as thinner, benzene, alcohol and
gasoline. Doing so may damage the surface of
the heater or seats.
 To prevent overheating the seat warmer, do not
place blankets, cushions or seat covers on the
seats while the seat warmer is in operation.
 Do not place heavy or sharp objects on seats
equipped with seat warmers. Damage to the
seat warming components could occur.

The outside rearview mirror heater is actuated in con-
juction with the rear window defroster. To heat the out-
side rearview mirror glass, push in the switch for the
rear window defroster. The rearview mirror glass will
be heated for defrosting or defogging and will provide

 For maximum defrosting, set the temperature con-
trol knob to the extreme right/hot position and the
fan speed control knob to the highest speed.
 If warm air to the floor is desired while defrosting
or defogging, set the mode selection knob to the
position.
 Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the
windshield, rear window, outside rear view mirrors,
and all side windows.
 Clear all snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve heater and
defroster efficiency and to reduce the probability of
fogging on the inside of the windshield.

2. Make sure the air conditioner is off.
3. If coolant or steam is boiling out of the radiator,
stop the engine, then turn the ignition switch to the
ON position. Do not restart the engine. The radiator
cooling fan will automatically operate with the
ignition switch in the ON position. If the cooling
fan does not operate, call an Authorized Kia Dealer
for assistance.
If coolant is not boiling out, allow the engine to
idle and open the hood to permit the engine to cool
gradually.
If the temperature does not go down with the
engine idling, stop the engine and allow sufficient
time for it to cool.4. The coolant level should then be checked. If the
level in the reservoir is low, look for leaks at the
radiator hoses and connections, heater hoses and
connections, radiator, and water pump. If you find a
major leak or another problem that may have
caused the engine to overheat, do not operate the
engine until the problem has been corrected. Call
an Authorized Kia Dealer for assistance.
If you do not find a leak or other problem, carefully
add coolant to the reservoir.
If the engine frequently overheats, have the cooling
system checked and repaired.

WARNING - Removing
Radiator Cap

engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot
coolant and steam may blow out under
pressure. This could cause serious injury.

Checking the Coolant Level
Check the condition and connections of all cooling
system hoses and heater hoses. Replace any swollen or
deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be full in the radiator
and between F (Full) and L (Low) on the coolant
reservoir dipstick when the engine is cool.
Check the coolant level using the dipstick attached to
the reservoir cap.

WARNING -Removing
Radiator Cap
 Never attempt to remove the radiator cap
while the engine is operating. Doing so
might lead to cooling system and/or engine
damage and could result in serious personal
injury from escaping hot coolant or steam.
Turn the engine off and wait until it has
cooled. Even then, 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 cooling 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.
 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.
