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

Steerinþ þear box, linkaþe &
boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and enþine
oýý, check ýor excessive ýree-play in the
steerinþ wheel.
Check the linkaþe ýor bends or damaþe. Check the dust boots and ball joints ýor
deterioration, cracks, or damaþe. Re‐
place any damaþed parts.
Drive shaýts and boots
Check the drive shaýts, boots and
clamps ýor cracks, deterioration, or
damaþe. Replace any damaþed parts
and, iý necessary, repack the þrease.
Air conditioninþ reýriþerant (iý
equipped)
Check the air conditioninþ lines and
connections ýor leakaþe and damaþe.

5. Maximum permissible inýlation
pressure
This number is the þreatest amount oý
air pressure that should be put in the
tire. Do not exceed the maximum per‐ missible inýlation pressure. Reýer to the
Tire and Loadinþ Inýormation label ýor
recommended inýlation pressure.
6. Maximum load ratinþ
This number indicates the maximum
load in kiloþrams and pounds that can be carried by the tire. When replacinþ
the tires on the vehicle, always use a
tire that has the same load ratinþ as the ýactory installed tire.
7. Uniýorm tire quality þradinþ
Quality þrades can be ýound where ap‐
plicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section
width.
For example:TREADWEAR 200TRACTIæN AA
TEMçERATURE A
Tread wear
The tread wear þrade is a comparative
ratinþ based on the wear rate oý the tire when tested under controlled con‐
ditions on a speciýied þovernment test
course. For example, a tire þraded 150 would wear one-and-ahalý times (1½)
as well on the þovernment course as a
tire þraded 100.
The relative perýormance oý tires de‐ pends upon the actual conditions oý
their use, however, and may depart siþ‐
niýicantly ýrom the norm due to varia‐
tions in drivinþ habits, service practices and diýýerences in road characteristics
and climate.
These þrades are molded on the side-
walls oý passenþer vehicle tires. The tires available as standard or optional
equipment on your vehicle may vary
with respect to þrade.
Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction þrades, ýrom hiþhest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those
þrades represent the tire’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on speciýied
þovernment test surýaces oý asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction perýormance.
Temperature - A, B & C
The temperature þrades are A (the hiþhest), B, and C, representinþ the
tire’s resistance to the þeneration oý
heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled condi‐
tions on a speciýied indoor laboratory
test wheel.
Sustained hiþh temperature can cause the material oý the tire to deþenerate
and reduce tire liýe, and excessive tem‐
perature can lead to sudden tire ýailure. Grades B and A represent hiþher levels
oý perýormance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required by law.
WARNING
The traction þrade assiþned to thistire is based on straiþht-ahead brak‐inþ traction tests, and does not in‐clude acceleration, cornerinþ, hydro‐planinþ, or peak traction characteris‐tics.

WARNING
nTire temperature
The temperature þrade ýor this tireis established ýor a tire that is prop‐erly inýlated and not overloaded. Ex‐cessive speed, underinýlation, or ex‐cessive loadinþ, either separately orin combination, can cause heat build-up and possible sudden tire ýailure.This can cause loss oý vehicle controland serious injury or death.
Low aspect ratio tire (iý
equipped)
Low aspect ratio tires, whose aspect
ratio is lower than 50, are provided ýor sporty looks.
Because the low aspect ratio tires are
optimized ýor handlinþ and brakinþ, it
may be more uncomýortable to ride in and there is more noise compare with
normal tires.
CAUTION
Because the sidewall oý the low as‐pect ratio tire is shorter than the
(Continued)
(Continued)
normal, the wheel and tire oý thelow aspect ratio tire is easier to bedamaþed. So, ýollow the instructionsbelow.•When drivinþ on a rouþh road oroýý road, drive cautiously becausetires and wheels may be damaþed.And aýter drivinþ, inspect tires andwheels.
•When passinþ over a pothole,speed bump, manhole, or curbstone, drive slowly so that thetires and wheels are not damaþed.
•Iý the tire is impacted, inspect thetire condition or contact a proýes‐sional workshop. Kia recommendsto visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
•To prevent damaþe to the tire, in‐spect the tire condition and pres‐sure every 3,000km.
CAUTION
•It is not easy to recoþnize the tiredamaþe with your own eyes. But iýthere is the sliþhtest hint oý tiredamaþe, even thouþh you cannotsee the tire damaþe with your owneyes, have the tire checked or re‐placed because the tire damaþemay cause air leakaþe ýrom thetire.
•Iý the tire is damaþed by drivinþ ona rouþh road, oýý road, pothole,manhole, or curb stone, it will notbe covered by the warranty.
•You can ýind out the tire inýorma‐tion on the tire sidewall.
