Vacuum crankcase ventilation hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi- dence of heat and/or mechanical
damage. Hard and brittle rubber,
cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterio-
ration. Particular attention should be
paid to examine those hose surfaces
nearest to high heat sources, such
as the exhaust manifold. Inspect the hose routing to assure that the hoses do not come in con-
tact with any heat source, sharp
edges or moving component whichmight cause heat damage or
mechanical wear. Inspect all hose
connections, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure they are
secure, and that no leaks are pres-
ent. Hoses should be replaced
immediately if there is any evidence
of deterioration or damage. Air cleaner filter
We recommend that the air cleaner
filter be replaced by an authorized
Kia dealer. Spark plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
Valve clearance (3.8L)
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if neces-
sary. We recommend that the system
be serviced by an authorized Kia
dealer. Cooling system
Check cooling system components,
such as radiator, coolant reservoir,
hoses and connections for leakage
and damage. Replace any damaged
parts. Coolant The coolant should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte-
nance schedule.
WARNING
Do not disconnect and inspect spark plugs when the engine is
hot. You may burn yourself.

Maintenance
For best battery service
Keep the battery securely mounted.
Keep the battery top clean and dry.
Keep the terminals and connec-tions clean, tight, and coated with
petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
Rinse any spilled electrolyte from the battery immediately with a
solution of water and baking soda.
If the vehicle is not going to be used for an extended time, discon-
nect the battery cables.✽✽ NOTICE
Basically equipped battery is main-
tenance free type. If your vehicle is
equipped with the battery marked
with LOWER and UPPER on the
side, you can check the electrolyte
level. The electrolyte level should be
between LOWER and UPPER. If
the electrolyte level is low, it needs to
add distilled (demineralized) water
(Never add sulfuric acid or other
electrolyte). When refill, be careful
not to splash the battery and adja-
cent components. And do not over-
fill the battery cells. It can cause cor-
rosion on other parts. After then
ensure that tighten the cell caps. We
recommend that you contact an
authorized Kia dealer.
BATTERY
WARNING - Battery
dangers
Always read the follow-
ing instructions carefully
when handling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or
sparks away from the
battery.
Hydrogen, a highly com- bustible gas, is always
present in battery cells
and may explode if ignit-ed.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children because batteries con-
tain highly corrosive
SULFURIC ACID. Do not
allow battery acid to
contact your skin, eyes,
clothing or paint finish.

CAUTION
When you don’t use the vehi-
cle for a long time in the lowtemperature area, separate the battery and keep it indoors.
Always charge the battery fully to prevent battery case dam-age in low temperature area.
If you connect unauthorized electronic devices to the bat-tery, the battery may be dis- charged. Never use unautho-rized devices.
Make sure the battery cap is closed. If the battery cap is notclosed securely, it can mal- function because the electriccomponents are exposed tomoisture.
WARNING
We recommend that the system
be serviced by an authorized
Kia dealer.
(Continued)
When lifting a plastic-cased battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak, resulting in per-
sonal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
Never attempt to recharge the battery when the battery
cables are connected.
The electrical ignition system works with high voltage. Never
touch these components withthe engine running or the
Engine Start/Stop turned on.
Failure to follow the abovewarnings can result in serious
bodily injury or death.(Continued)
If any electrolyte getsinto your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean
water for at least 15 min-
utes and get immediatemedical attention.
If electrolyte gets on your
skin, thoroughly wash
the contacted area. If you
feel a pain or a burning
sensation, get medical
attention immediately.
Wear eye protection when charging or work-
ing near a battery.
Always provide ventila-
tion when working in an
enclosed space.
An inappropriately dis- posed battery can be
harmful to the environ-ment and human health.
Dispose the battery
according to your local
law(s) or regulation.

1. Turn the Engine Start/Stop buttonand all other switches off. 2. Remove the fuse panel cover by
pressing the tab and pulling the
cover up. When the blade type fuse
is disconnected, remove it by using
the clip designed for changing fuseslocated in the engine room fuse
box. Upon removal, securely insert
reserve fuse of equal quantity.
3. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. To remove or insert
the fuse, use the fuse puller in the
engine compartment fuse panel.
4. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly
in the clips.
If it fits loosely, we recommend
that you consult an authorized Kia
dealer.
CAUTION
After checking the fuse panel in the engine compartment,securely install the fuse panelcover. If not, electrical failures may occur from water contact.
