FUEL FILLER LID (HYBRID)
Opening the fuel filler lid
0 + '
The fuel filler lid must be opened from
inside the vehicle by pushing the fuel filler lid button.
NOTICE
If the fuel filler lid does not open be‐
cause ice has formed around it, tap
lightly or push on the lid to break the
ice and release the lid. Do not pry on
the lid. If necessary, spray around
the lid with an approved de-icer fluid
(do not use radiator antifreeze) or
move the vehicle to a warm place
and allow the ice to melt.

COOLANT
The high-pressure cooling system has
a reservoir filled with year round anti‐
freeze 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 be‐ fore traveling to a colder climate.
CAUTION
•When the engine overheats fromlow engine coolant, suddenly add‐ing engine coolant may causecracks in the engine. To preventdamage, add engine coolant slowlyin small quantities.
•Do not drive with no engine cool‐ant. It may cause water pump fail‐ure and engine seizure, etc.
Checking the coolant level
WARNING
nRemoving radiator cap
•Never attempt to remove the radi‐ator cap while the engine is oper‐ating or hot. Doing so might leadto cooling system and engine dam‐age. Also, hot coolant or steamcould cause serious personal in‐jury.
•Turn the engine off and wait untilit cools down. Use extreme carewhen removing the radiator cap.Wrap a thick towel around it, andturn it counterclockwise slowly tothe first stop. Step back while thepressure is released from the cool‐ing system.When you are sure all the pressurehas been released, press down onthe cap, using a thick towel, andcontinue turning counterclockwiseto remove it.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Even if the engine is not operating,do not remove the radiator cap orthe drain plug while the engine andradiator are hot. Hot coolant andsteam may still blow out underpressure, causing serious injury.
The engine coolant and/or inverter
coolant level is influenced by the hybrid system temperature. Before checking
or refilling the engine coolant and/or in‐
verter coolant, turn the hybrid vehicle off.
WARNING
The electric motor (cool‐ing fan) is controlled byengine coolant tempera‐ture, refrigerant pressureand vehicle speed. It maysometimes operate evenwhen the engine is notrunning.

WARNING
nRadiator cap
Do not remove the radiator capwhen the engine and radiator arehot. Scalding hot coolant and steammay blow out under pressure caus‐ing serious injury.
Changing the coolant
We recommend that the coolant be re‐
placed by an authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
Put a thick cloth around the radiatorcap before refilling the coolant in or‐der to prevent the coolant fromoverflowing into engine parts suchas the alternator.
WARNING
nCoolant
•Do not use radiator coolant or an‐tifreeze in the washer fluid reser‐voir.
•Radiator coolant can severely ob‐scure visibility when sprayed onthe windshield and may cause lossof vehicle control or damage thepaint and body trim.
