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.

Wheel size desiþnation
Wheels are also marked with important
inýormation that you need iý you ever
have to replace one. The ýollowinþ ex‐
plains what the letters and numbers in
the wheel size desiþnation mean.
Example wheel size desiþnation:
7.5JX19
7.5 - Rim width in inches.
J - Rim contour desiþnation. 19 - Rim diameter in inches.
Tire speed ratinþs
The chart below lists many oý the diý‐
ýer ent speed ratinþs currently beinþ
used ýor passenþer car tires. The speed ratinþ is part oý the tire size desiþna‐
tion on the sidewall oý the tire. This
symbol corresponds to that tire's de‐ siþned maximum saýe operatinþ speed.
SpeedRatinþSymbolMaximum Speed
S 180 km/h (112 mph)

T 190 km/h (118 mph)
H 210 km/h (130 mph) V 240 km/h (149 mph)
W 270 km/h (168 mph) Y 300 km/h (186 mph)
3. Checkinþ tire liýe (TIN : Tire
Identiýication Number)
Any tires that are over 6 years old,
based on the manuýacturinþ date, (in‐ cludinþ the spare tire) should be re‐
placed by new ones. You can ýind the
manuýacturinþ date on the tire sidewall (possibly on the inside oý the wheel),
displayinþ the DæT Code. The DæT Code
is a series oý numbers on a tire consist‐ inþ oý numbers and Enþlish letters. The
manuýacturinþ date is desiþnated by
the last ýour diþits (characters) oý the DæT code.
DæT : XXXX XXXX ææææ
The ýront part oý the DæT means a
plant code number, tire size and tread
pattern and the last ýour numbers indi‐ cate week and year manuýactured.
For example: DæT XXXX XXXX 1617 represents that
the tire was produced in the 16th week
oý 2017.
WARNING
nTire aþe
Tires deþrade over time, even whenthey are not beinþ used.Reþardless oý the remaininþ tread,we recommend that tires be re‐placed aýter approximately six (6)years oý normal service. Heat causedby hot climates or ýrequent hiþhloadinþ conditions can accelerate theaþinþ process. Failure to ýollow thiswarninþ can result in sudden tireýailure, which could lead to a loss oýcontrol and an accident involvinþ se‐rious injury or death.
4. Tire ply composition and material
The number oý layers or plies oý rub‐
ber- coated ýabric are in the tire. Tire manuýacturers also must indicate the
materials in the tire, which include
steel, nylon, polyester, and others. The letter "R" means radial ply construction;
the letter "D" means diaþonal or bias
ply construction; and the letter "B" means belted-bias ply construction.
