unsure about any servicing or mainte-
nance procedure, we recommend that
the system be checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.
CAUTION
Do not put heavy objects or apply excessive force on top of theengine cover (if equipped) or fuelrelated parts.
When you inspect the fuel system (fuel lines and fuel injectiondevices), we recommend that youcontact an authorized kia dealer.
Do not drive long time with the engine cover (if equipped)
removed.
When checking the engine room, do not go near fire.
Fuel, washer fluid, etc. are flam-mable oils that may cause fire.
Before touching the battery, igni- tion cables and electrical wiring,you should disconnect the battery"-" terminal. You may get an elec- tric shock from the electric current.
When you remove the interior trim cover with a flat bed (-) driver, becareful not to damage the cover.
Be careful when you replace and clean bulbs to avoid burns or
electrical shock.

Engine compartment precautions (Diesel engine)
• The injector operates at high voltage
(maximum 200v). Therefore, the follow-
ing accidents may occur.
- Direct contact with the injector orinjector wiring may cause electric
shock or damage your muscle or
nerve system.
- The electromagnetic wave from the operating injector may cause the arti-
ficial heart pacemaker to malfunction.
Follow the safety tips provided below, when you are checking the engine
room while the engine is running.
- Do not touch the injector, injectorwirings, and the engine computer
while the engine is running.
- Do not remove the injector connector while the engine is running.
- People using pacemakers must not go near the engine while the engine
is starting or running.
WARNING - Maintenance
work
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be dangerous. 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, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an author-
ized Kia dealer.
Working under the hood with the engine running is dangerous. 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 work-
ing under the hood, make certain
that you remove all jewelry (espe-
cially rings, bracelets, watches,
and necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose cloth-
ing before getting near theengine or cooling fans.WARNING - Diesel Engine
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30
seconds after shutting off engine.
High-pressure pump, rail, injectorsand high-pressure pipes are sub-
ject to high pressure even after the
engine stopped. The fuel jet pro-
duced by fuel leaks may cause seri-
ous injury, if it touches the body.
People using pacemakers should
not move than 30cm closer to theECU or wiring harness within the
engine room while engine is run-
ning, since the high currents in the
electronic engine control system
produce considerable magneticfields.

NORMAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE - FOR EUROPE (EXCEPT RUSSIA)
The following maintenance services must be performed to ensure good emission control and performance. Keep receipts for all
vehicle emission services to protect your warranty. Where both mileage and time are shown, the frequency of service is deter-
mined by whichever occurs first. * 1
: Check the engine oil level and leak every 500 km (350
miles) or before starting a long trip.
* 2
: This maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. It is
applicable only when using a qualified fuel <"EN590 or
equivalent">. If the diesel fuel specifications don't meet the
EN590, it must be replaced according to the severe mainte-
nance schedule.
* 3
: If the recommended oil is not available, replace engine oil
and engine oil filter every 20,000 km or 12 months.
* 4
: If the recommended oil is not available, replace engine oil
and filter every 15,000 km for MPI engine and replace
engine oil and filter every 10,000 km for GDI engine.
* 5
: The engine oil level should be checked regularly and main-
tained properly. Operating with an insufficient amount of oil
can damage the engine, and such damage is not covered
by warranty.
* 6
: This maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. It is

regardless of maintenance schedule and we recommended
that you consult an authorized Kia dealer for details.
* 8
: Manual transaxle and dual clutch transmission fluid should
be changed anytime they have been submerged in water.
* 9
