ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM The high-pressure cooling system
has a reservoir filled with year-round
antifreeze 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 before traveling to a colder cli-
mate.
Checking the coolant level
WARNING
- Removing
radiator cap
 Never attempt to remove the radiator cap while the engine
is operating or hot. Doing so
might lead to cooling system
and engine damage and could
result in serious personal
injury from escaping hot
coolant or steam.
 Turn the engine off and wait until it cools down. 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 sys-
tem. 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 oper-ating, do not remove the radi-
ator cap or the drain plug
while the engine and radiator
are hot. Hot coolant and steam
may still blow out under pres-
sure, causing serious injury.

1. Turn the radiator cap counter-
clockwise to remove it.
2. Loosen the radiator drain plug and drain the coolant into a suitable
container.
3. With the plug loose, flush the sys- tem with running water.
4. Drain the system completely and retighten the drain plug. Add the
necessary amount of ethylene-gly-
col based coolant and water to
provide the required protection
against freezing and corrosion. In
extremely cold climates, add ethyl-
ene-glycol based coolant in accor-
dance with the instructions of the
manufacturer. 5. Run the engine at idle with the
radiator cap off. Slowly add addi-
tional coolant as necessary.
6. At this point, wait until the engine reaches normal operating temper-
ature. Depress the accelerator two
or three times; then add coolant as
required. Be careful not to burn
yourself.
7. Reinstall the radiator cap. Inspect all connections for leaks and
recheck the coolant level in the
reservoir. Recheck again after a
few days and add coolant as nec-
essary.

WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine and radiator
are hot. Scalding hot coolant
and steam may blow out under
pressure. This could cause seri-
ous injury.

LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS Checking the washer fluid
level The reservoir is translucent so that
you can check the level with a quick
visual inspection.
Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces-
sary. Plain water may be used if
washer fluid is not available.
However, use washer solvent with
antifreeze characteristics in cold cli-
mates to prevent freezing.
Body lubrication All moving points of the body, such
as door hinges, hood hinges, and
locks, should be lubricated each time
the engine oil is changed. Use a non-
freezing lubricant on locks during
cold weather.
Make sure the engine hood second-
ary latch keeps the hood from open-
ing when the primary latch is
released.
1GHA421A
WARNING
 Do not use radiator coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
 Radiator coolant can severely obscure visibility when
sprayed on the windshield
and may cause loss of vehicle
control or damage to paint
and body trim.
 Windshield Washer fluid agents contain some amounts
of alcohol and can be flamma-
ble under certain circum-
stances. Do not allow sparks
or flame to contact the washer
fluid or the washer fluid reser-
voir. Damage to the vehicle or
it's occupants could occur.
 Windshield washer fluid is poisonous to humans and ani-
mals. Do not drink and avoid
contacting windshield washer
fluid. Serious injury or death
could occur.

BULB REPLACEMENT Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.
Headlight bulb replacement ✽ ✽ NOTICEAfter heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature difference
between the lamp inside and outside.
This is similar to the condensation on
your windows inside your vehicle
during the rain and doesn’t indicate
a problem with your vehicle. If the
water leaks into the lamp bulb cir-
cuitry, have the vehicle checked by
an Authorized Kia Dealer.
WARNING
- Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light,
firmly apply the parking brake
and ensure that the ignition
switch is turned to the “LOCK”
position to avoid sudden move-
ment of the vehicle and burning
your fingers or receiving an
electric shock.
CAUTION
If you don’ t have necessary
tools, the correct bulbs and the expertise, consult anAuthorized Kia Dealer. In manycases, it is difficult to replacevehicle light bulbs becauseother parts of the vehicle mustbe removed before you can getthe bulb. Especially if you mustremove the front bumper toreplace the light bulbs in thefront of the vehicle. This mayresult in damage to the vehicle.
