WARNING
Prior to workinþ on the Interiorlamps, ensure that the L

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The emission control system oý your vehicle is covered by a written limited
warranty. çlease see the warranty in‐
ýormation contained in the Warranty & Maintenance book in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an emis‐
sion control system to meet all applica‐
ble emission reþulations.
There are three emission control sys‐ tems, as ýollows. 1. Crankcase emission control system
2. Evaporative emission control sys‐ tem
3. Exhaust emission control system

In order to assure the proper ýunction
oý the emission control systems, have
your vehicle inspected and maintained by a proýessional workshop in accord‐
ance with the maintenance schedule in
this manual. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Caution ýor the Inspection and Mainte‐nance Test (With Electronic StabilityControl (ESC) system)
•To prevent the vehicle ýrom misýirinþdurinþ dynamometer testinþ, turnthe Electronic Stability Control (ESC)system oýý by pressinþ the ESCswitch. •
Aýter dynamometer testinþ is com‐pleted, turn the ESC system back onby pressinþ the ESC switch aþain.
1. Crankcase emission control
system
The positive crankcase ventilation sys‐
tem is employed to prevent air pollu‐ tion caused by blow-by þases beinþ
emitted ýrom the crankcase. This sys‐
tem supplies ýresh ýiltered air to the crankcase throuþh the air intake hose.
Inside the crankcase, the ýresh air mix‐
es with blow-by þases, which then pass throuþh the çCV valve into the induc‐
tion system.
2. Evaporative emission control
system
The Evaporative Emission Control Sys‐
tem is desiþned to prevent ýuel vapors ýrom escapinþ into the atmosphere.
Canister
Fuel vapors þenerated inside the ýuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the on‐ board canister. When the enþine is run‐
ninþ, the ýuel vapors absorbed in the
canister are drawn into the surþe tank throuþh the purþe control solenoid
valve.
Purþe Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purþe control solenoid valve is con‐
trolled by the Enþine Control Module
(ECM); when the enþine coolant tem‐
perature is low durinþ idlinþ, the çCSV
closes so that evaporated ýuel is not taken into the enþine. Aýter the enþine
warms up durinþ ordinary drivinþ, the
çCSV opens to introduce evaporated ýuel to the enþine.
3. Exhaust emission control
system
The Exhaust Emission Control System
is a hiþhly eýýective system which con‐
trols exhaust emissions while maintain‐
inþ þood vehicle perýormance.
Vehicle modiýications
This vehicle should not be modiýied.
Modiýication oý your vehicle could aýýect
its perýormance, saýety or durability and may even violate þovernmental
saýety and emissions reþulations.
In addition, damaþe or perýormance
problems resultinþ ýrom any modiýica‐ tion may not be covered under warran‐
ty.
Maintenance

• Do not misuse or abuse the enþine.Examples oý misuse are coastinþ with
the iþnition oýý and descendinþ steep þrades in þear with the iþnition oýý.
• Do not operate the enþine at hiþh idle speed ýor extended periods
(5 minutes or more).
• Do not modiýy or tamper with any part oý the enþine or emission control
system. All inspections and adjust‐ ments must be made by a proýessio‐
nal workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorized Kia dealer/service
center.
• Avoid drivinþ with an extremely low ýuel level. Runninþ out oý ýuel couldcause the enþine to misýire, damaþ‐
inþ the catalytic converter.
Failure to observe these precautions
could result in damaþe to the catalytic converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void
your warranties.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES
To help achieve proper enþine and powertrain perýormance and durability, use only lubricants oý the proper quality.
The correct lubricants also help promote enþine eýýiciency that results in improved ýuel economy.
These lubricants and ýluids are recommended ýor use in your vehicle.
