What to do in an emergency

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you will experience a
loss of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine is probably too
hot. If this happens, you should:
1.Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2.Place the shift lever in P (automat- ic transaxle / dual clutch transmis-
sion) or neutral (manual transaxle)
and set the parking brake. If the air
conditioning is on, turn it off.
3.If engine coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is com-ing out from the bonnet, stop the
engine. Do not open the bonnet until
the coolant has stopped running or
the steaming has stopped. If there is
no visible loss of engine coolant and
no steam, leave the engine running
and check to be sure the engine
cooling fan is operating. If the fan is
not running, turn the engine off.
4.Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not miss-
ing, check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satis-
factory, check for coolant leaking
from the radiator, hoses or under
the vehicle. (If the air conditioning
had been in use, it is normal for
cold water to be draining from it
when you stop).
5.If the water pump drive belt is bro- ken or engine coolant is leakingout, stop the engine immediately
and call a professional workshop.Kia recommends to call an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner. 6.If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,carefully add coolant to the reser-
voir to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7.Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again,
call a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to call an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
Serious loss of coolant indi-
cates there is a leak in the cool-ing system. In this case, have the system checked by a pro-fessional workshop. Kia recom-mends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
When the engine overheats from low engine coolant, sud-denly adding engine coolantmay cause cracks in the engine. To prevent damage,add engine coolant slowly insmall quantities.
WARNING
Whilst the engine is running,
keep hair, hands and clothing
away from moving parts suchas the fan and drive belts to pre-
vent injury.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. This can
allow coolant to blow out of theopening and cause serious
burns.

Maintenance

8
Check automatic transaxle / dual
clutch transmission P (Park) func- tion.
Check parking brake.
Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
At least monthly:
Check coolant level in the enginecoolant reservoir.
Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flash-
ers.
Check the inflation pressures of all tyres including the spare.
At least twice a year
(i.e., every Spring and Fall) :
Check radiator, heater and air con- ditioning hoses for leaks or dam-
age.
Check windscreen washer spray and wiper operation. Clean wiper
blades with clean cloth dampened
with washer fluid.
Check headlight alignment.
Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields and clamps.
Check the lap/shoulder belts for wear and function.
Check for worn tyres and loose wheel lug nuts.
At least once a year :
Clean body and door drain holes.
Lubricate door hinges and checks,and bonnet hinges.
Lubricate door and bonnet locks and latches.
Lubricate door rubber weather- strips.
Check the air conditioning system.
Inspect and lubricate automatic transaxle / dual clutch transmission
linkage and controls.
Clean battery and terminals.
Check the brake (and clutch) fluid level.

Maintenance
Brake hoses and lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and
any leakage. Replace any deteriorat-
ed or damaged parts immediately. Brake fluid
Check brake fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir. The level should be
between “MIN” and “MAX” marks on
the side of the reservoir. Use only
hydraulic brake fluid conforming to
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification.
Brake pads, calipers and rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear,
discs for run out and wear, and
calipers for fluid leakage.
For more information on checking
the pads or lining wear limit, refer to
the Kia web site. (https://www
.kia-hotline.com)
Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections
for looseness or damage. Retighten
to the specified torque.
Parking brake
Inspect the parking brake system
including the EPB actuator, wiring
and connectors.
Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine
off, check for excessive free-play in
the steering wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or dam-
age. Check the dust boots and ball
joints for deterioration, cracks, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts.Drive shafts and boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and
clamps for cracks, deterioration, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts and, if necessary, repack the
grease.
Air conditioning refrigerant/ compressor (if equipped)
Check the air conditioning lines and
connections for leakage and dam-
age.
