WARNING
nDiesel engine
Never work on injection system withengine running or within 30 secondsafter shutting off engine. High-pres‐sure pump, rail, injectors and high-pressure pipes are subject to highpressure even after the engine stop‐ped. The fuel jet produced by fuelleaks may cause serious injury, if ittouches the body. People usingpacemakers should not move than30 cm closer to the ECU or wiringharness within the engine roomwhile engine is running, since the

high currents in the electronic enginecontrol system produce considerablemagnetic fields.
CAUTION
•Do not put heavy objects or applyexcessive force on top of the en‐gine cover (if equipped) or fuel re‐lated parts.
•When you inspect the fuel system(fuel lines and fuel injection devi‐ces), contact a professional work‐shop. Kia recommends to visit anauthorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.
