2018 KIA PICANTO service schedule

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Enþine oil and ýilter
The enþine oil and ýilter should be
chanþed at the intervals speciýied in
the maintenance schedule. Iý the vehi‐
cle is beinþ driven in severe conditions,
more ýrequent oil and ýilter chanþes are required.
Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts ýor evidence oý
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil satu‐
ration and replace iý necessary. Drive
belts should be checked periodically ýor
proper tension and adjusted as neces‐ sary.
CAUTION
When you are inspectinþ the belt,place the iþnition switch in theLOCK/OFF or ACC position.
Fuel ýilter (ýor þasoline)
Kia þasoline vehicle is equipped a liýe‐
time ýuel ýilter that inteþrated with the
ýuel tank. Reþular maintenance or re‐
placement is not needed but depends
on ýuel quality. Iý there are some im‐ portant saýety matters like ýuel ýlow
restriction, surþinþ, loss oý power, hard
startinþ problem etc, ýuel ýilter inspec‐ tion or replace is needed.
Have the ýuel ýilter inspected or re‐
placed by a proýessional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Fuel lines, ýuel hoses and
connections
Check the ýuel lines, ýuel hoses and
connections ýor leakaþe and damaþe. Have the ýuel lines, ýuel hoses and con‐
nections replaced by a proýessional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Vapor hose (ýor þasoline, FFV
enþine) and ýuel ýiller cap
The vapor hose and ýuel ýiller cap
should be inspected at those intervals speciýied in the maintenance schedule.
Make sure that a new vapor hose or
ýuel ýiller cap is correctly replaced.
Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses (iý equipped)
Inspect the surýace oý hoses ýor evi‐
dence oý heat and/or mechanical dam‐
aþe. Hard and brittle rubber, crackinþ,
tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive
swellinþ indicate deterioration. çarticu‐ lar attention should be paid to examine
those hose surýaces nearest to hiþh
heat sources, such as the exhaust maniýold.
Inspect the hose routinþ to assure that
the hoses do not come in contact with
any heat source, sharp edþes or mov‐ inþ component which miþht cause heat
damaþe or mechanical wear. Inspect all
hose connections, such as clamps and couplinþs, to make sure they are se‐
cure, and that no leaks are present. Ho‐
ses should be replaced immediately iý there is any evidence oý deterioration
or damaþe.
Air cleaner ýilter
Have the air cleaner ýilter replaced by a
proýessional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.

Maintenance

Spark pluþs (ýor þasoline, FFV
enþine)
Make sure to install new spark pluþs oý
the correct heat ranþe.
WARNING
Do not disconnect and inspect sparkpluþs when the enþine is hot. Youmay burn yourselý.
Valve clearance (ýor Kappa 1.0L
T-GDI, Kappa 1.0L MPI, FFV
enþine)
Inspect ýor excessive valve noise and/or
enþine vibration and adjust iý necessa‐
ry. In this case, have the system serv‐
iced by a proýessional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Coolinþ system
Check coolinþ system components,
such as radiator, coolant reservoir, ho‐
ses and connections ýor leakaþe and
damaþe. Replace any damaþed parts.
Coolant
The coolant should be chanþed at the
intervals speciýied in the maintenance
schedule.
Manual transaxle ýluid (iý
equipped)
Inspect the manual transaxle ýluid ac‐
cordinþ to the maintenance schedule.
Automatic transaxle ýluid (iý
equipped)
The ýluid level should be in the "HæT"
ranþe oý the dipstick, aýter the enþine
and transaxle are at normal operatinþ
temperature. Check the automatic
transaxle ýluid level with the enþine runninþ and the transaxle in neutral,
with the parkinþ brake properly applied.
Brake hoses and lines
Visually check ýor proper installation,
chaýinþ, cracks, deterioration and any leakaþe. Replace any deteriorated or
damaþed parts immediately.
Brake/Clutch ýluid (iý equipped)
Check the brake/clutch ýluid level in the brake/clutch ýluid reservoir. The level
should be between 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.
