Change to "winter weight" oil
if necessary In some climates it is recommended
that a lower viscosity "winter weight"
oil be used during cold weather. See
section 8 for recommendations. If
you aren't sure what weight oil you
should use, we recommend that you
consult an authorized Kia dealer.
Check spark plugs and igni- tion system
Inspect your spark plugs as described in section 7 and replace them if neces-
sary. Also check all ignition wiring and
components to be sure they are not
cracked, worn or damaged in any way.
To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing,
squirt an approved de-icer fluid or
glycerine into the key opening. If a
lock is covered with ice, squirt it with
an approved de-icing fluid to remove
the ice. If the lock is frozen internally,
you may be able to thaw it out by
using a heated key. Handle the heat-
ed key with care to avoid injury.Use approved window washer
anti-freeze in system
To keep the water in the window
washer system from freezing, add an
approved window washer anti-freeze
solution in accordance with instruc-
tions on the container. Window wash-
er anti-freeze is available from an
authorized Kia dealer and most auto
parts outlets. Do not use engine
coolant or other types of anti-freeze
as these may damage the paint finish.
Don't let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to happen
when there is an accumulation of
snow or ice around or near the rear
brakes or if the brakes are wet. If
there is a risk the parking brake may
freeze, apply it only temporarily while
you put the shift lever in P and block
the rear wheels so the vehicle cannot
roll. Then release the parking brake.
Don't let ice and snow accu-
mulate underneath
Under some conditions, snow and
ice can build up under the fenders
and interfere with the steering. When
driving in severe winter conditions
where this may happen, you should
periodically check underneath the
vehicle to be sure the movement of
the front wheels and the steering
components is not obstructed.
Carry emergency equipment
Depending on the severity of the
weather, you should carry appropri-
ate emergency equipment. Some of
the items you may want to carry
include tire chains, tow straps or
chains, flashlight, emergency flares,
sand, shovel, jumper cables, window
scraper, gloves, ground cloth, cover-
alls, blanket, etc.

WIPER BLADES
Blade inspection
✽✽ NOTICE
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi-
cult to clean.
Contamination of either the windshield
or the wiper blades with foreign matter
can reduce the effectiveness of the
windshield wipers. Common sources
of contamination are insects, tree sap,
and hot wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes. If the blades
are not wiping properly, clean both the
window and the blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Blade replacement When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
OKH073073LCAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use gasoline,kerosene, paint thinner, or other solvents on or near them.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiperarms or other components, donot attempt to move the wipers manually.
CAUTION
The use of a non-specifiedwiper blade could result inwiper malfunction and failure.

LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.
✽✽ NOTICE
After driving in heavy rain or wash-
ing the vehicle, headlight and tail-
light lenses could appear frosty. This
condition is caused by the tempera-
ture 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 circuitry, we recom-
mend that the system be checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.WARNING - Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light, firm-
ly apply the parking brake,
ensure that the Engine Start/Stop
button is in the OFF position and
turn off the lights to avoid sudden
movement of the vehicle and
burning your fingers or receiving
an electric shock.
CAUTION
Be sure to replace the burned- out bulb with one of the samewattage rating. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the fuseor electric wiring system.
CAUTION
If you don’t have necessary tools, the correct bulbs andthe expertise, we recommend that you consult an authorizedKia dealer. In many cases, it isdifficult to replace vehicle light bulbs because otherparts of the vehicle must beremoved before you can get to the bulb. This is especially trueif you have to remove the head-light assembly to get to the bulb(s). Removing/installingthe headlight assembly canresult in damage to the vehicle.
Do not install additional bulb or LED. If you install that, thelamp may not be operatedproperly and fuse box or elec-tric wiring system may have problem.

Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warningand caution statements that appearon the label.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish
from rust and deterioration, wash itthoroughly and frequently at least once
a month with lukewarm or cold water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road
driving, you should wash it after each
off-road trip. Pay special attention to
the removal of any accumulation of
salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign mate-
rials. Make sure the drain holes in the
lower edges of the doors and rocker
panels are kept clear and clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar
deposits can damage your vehicle’s
finish if not removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on
painted surfaces, may be used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-
oughly with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not allow soap to dry on the finish.
APPEARANCE CARECAUTION
Do not use strong soap, chem-
ical detergents or hot water,and do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight or when thebody of the vehicle is warm.
Be careful when washing the side windows of your vehicle.Especially, with high-pressure water, water may leak throughthe windows and wet the inte-rior.
To prevent damage to plastic parts and lamps, do not cleanwith chemical solvents orstrong detergents.
WARNING - Wet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes while driving slowly
to see if they have been affected
by water. If braking performance
is impaired, dry the brakes by
applying them lightly while main-
taining a slow forward speed.

Maintenance
Cleaning the upholstery and inte-rior trim
Vinyl
Remove dust and loose dirt from
vinyl with a whisk broom or vacuum
cleaner. Clean vinyl surfaces with a
vinyl cleaner.
Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from fab-
ric with a whisk broom or vacuum
cleaner. Clean with a mild soap solu-
tion recommended for upholstery or
carpets. Remove fresh spots immedi-
ately with a fabric spot cleaner. If
fresh spots do not receive immediate
attention, the fabric can be stained
and its color can be affected. Also, its
fire-resistant properties can be
reduced if the material is not properlymaintained.
Cleaning the lap/shoulder beltwebbing
Clean the belt webbing with any mild
soap solution recommended for
cleaning upholstery or carpet. Follow
the instructions provided with the
soap. Do not bleach or re-dye the
webbing because this may weaken it.
Cleaning the interior window glass
If the interior glass surfaces of the
vehicle become fogged (that is, cov-
ered with an oily, greasy or waxy
film), they should be cleaned with
glass cleaner. Follow the directions
on the glass cleaner container.
CAUTION
Using anything but recommend-ed cleaners and procedures mayaffect the fabric’s appearance and fire-resistant properties.
CAUTION
Do not scrape or scratch theinside of the rear window. Thismay result in damage to the rearwindow defroster grid.
CAUTION
When cleaning leather products(steering wheel, seats etc.), useneutral detergents or low alco- hol content solutions. If you usehigh alcohol content solutionsor acid/alkaline detergents, the color of the leather may fade orthe surface may get stripped off.
