Maintenance
Vapour hose and fuel filler cap
The vapour hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those inter-
vals specified in the maintenance
schedule. Make sure that a new
vapour hose or fuel filler cap is cor-rectly replaced.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
Have the air cleaner filter replaced by
a professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner. Spark plugs
(for petrol engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
WARNING
Do not disconnect and inspect spark plugs when the engine is
hot. You may burn yourself.

FUEL FILTER (FOR DIESEL)
Draining water from fuel filter
The fuel filter for diesel engine plays
an important role of separating water
from fuel and accumulating the waterin its bottom.
If water accumulates in the fuel filter,
the warning light comes on when the
ignition switch is in the ON position. If this warning light illumi-
nates, take your car to a
professional workshop and
have drain the water and
check the system. Kia rec-
ommends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner. Filter replacement
It must be replaced when necessary,
and should not be washed.
You can clean the filter when inspect- ing the air cleaner element.
Clean the filter by using compressed
air.
1. Loosen the air cleaner cover
attaching clips and open the cover.
CAUTION
If the water accumulated in the
fuel filter is not drained at prop-er times, damages to the major parts such as the fuel systemcan be caused by water perme-ation in the fuel filter.
