Maintenance
Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine
off, check for excessive free-play in
the steering wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or dam-
age. Check the dust boots and ball
joints for deterioration, cracks, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Power steering pump, belt and hoses
Check the power steering pump and
hoses for leakage and damage.
Replace any damaged or leaking
parts immediately. Inspect the power
steering belt (or drive belt) for evi-
dence of cuts, cracks, excessive
wear, oiliness and proper tension.
Replace or adjust it if necessary.Drive shafts and boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and
clamps for cracks, deterioration, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts and, if necessary, repack the
grease.
Air conditioning refrigerant (if equipped)
Check the air conditioning lines and
connections for leakage and dam-
age.

POWER STEERING FLUID
Checking the power steering
fluid level
With the vehicle on level ground,
check the fluid level in the power
steering reservoir periodically. The
fluid should be between MAX and
MIN marks on the side of the gauge
at the normal temperature.
Before adding power steering fluid, thoroughly clean the area around the
reservoir cap to prevent power steer-ing fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the
MAX level.
✽✽ NOTICE
Check that the fluid level is in the
"HOT" range on the gauge. If the
fluid is cold, check that it is in the
"COLD" range.
In the event the power steering sys- tem requires frequent additions of
fluid, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
Use only the specified power steer- ing fluid. (Refer to "Recommendedlubricants or capacities" in section8.)
Checking the power steering hose
Check the connections for oil leaks,
damage and twists in the power
steering hose before driving.OBH078022
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the power steering pump, do not operatethe vehicle for prolonged peri- ods with a low power steeringfluid level.
Never start the engine when the reservoir tank is empty.
When adding fluid, be careful that dirt does not get into thetank.
Too little fluid can result in increased steering effortand/or noise from the powersteering system.
(Continued)
(Continued) The use of the non-specified fluid could reduce the effective-ness of the power steering sys-tem and cause damage to it.
