APPEARANCE CARE
Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical cleaner or polish. Read all warning and
caution statements that appear on the
label.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish
from rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughly and frequently at least once
a month with lukewarm or cold water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road
driving, you should wash it after each off-road trip. Pay special attention to
the removal of any accumulation of
salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign mate‐ rials. Make sure the drain holes in the
lower edges of the doors and rocker
panels are kept clear and clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings, in‐ dustrial pollution and similar deposits
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on
painted surfaces, may be used. After washing, rinse the vehicle thor‐
oughly with lukewarm or cold water. Do
not allow soap to dry on the finish.
CAUTION
•Do not use strong soap, chemicaldetergents or hot water, and donot wash the vehicle in direct sun‐light or when the body of the vehi‐cle is warm.
•Be careful when washing the sidewindows of your vehicle.Especially, with high-pressure wa‐ter, water may leak through thewindows and wet the interior.
•To prevent damage to the plasticparts and lamps, do not clean withchemical solvents or strong deter‐gents.
WARNING
nWet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test thebrakes while driving slowly to see if

they have been affected by water. Ifbraking performance is impaired, drythe brakes by applying them lightlywhile maintaining a slow forwardspeed.
High-pressure washing
• When using high-pressure washers, make sure to maintain sufficient dis‐
tance from the vehicle.
Insufficient clearance or excessive pressure can lead to component
damage or water penetration.
• Do not spray the camera, sensors or its surrounding area directly with a
high pressure washer. Shock applied
from high pressure water may cause the device to not operate normally.
• Do not bring the nozzle tip close to boots (rubber or plastic covers) or
connectors as they may be damaged
if they come into contact with high
pressure water.
Maintenance
8-128

Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and dust control may
collect on the underbody. If these ma‐ terials are not removed, accelerated
rusting can occur on underbody parts
such as the fuel lines, frame, floor pan and exhaust system, even though they
have been treated with rust protection.
Thoroughly flush the vehicle underbody
and wheel openings with lukewarm or cold water once a month, after off-
road driving and at the end of each
winter. Pay special attention to these areas because it is difficult to see all
the mud and dirt. It will do more harm
than good to wet down the road grime without removing it. The lower edges
of the doors, rocker panels, and frame
members have drain holes that should not clog with dirt; trapped water in
these areas can cause rusting.
WARNING
After washing the vehicle, test thebrakes while driving slowly to see ifthey have been affected by water. Ifbraking performance is impaired, dry
(Continued)
(Continued)
the brakes by applying them lightlywhile maintaining a slow forwardspeed.
Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels are coated with a
clear protective finish. • Do not use any abrasive cleaner, pol‐ ishing compound, solvent, or wirebrushes on aluminum wheels. They
may scratch or damage the finish.
• Clean the wheel when it has cooled.
• Use only a mild soap or neutral deter‐ gent, and rinse thoroughly with wa‐
ter. Also, be sure to clean the wheels
after driving on salted roads. This helps prevent corrosion.
• Avoid washing the wheels with high- speed car wash brushes.
• Do not use any alkaline or acid deter‐ gent. It may damage and corrode the
aluminum wheels coated with a clear
protective finish.
Corrosion protection
Protecting your vehicle from corrosion
By using the most advanced design and
construction practices to combat corro‐ sion, we produce vehicles of the highest
quality. However, this is only part of
the job. To achieve the long-term cor‐ rosion resistance your vehicle can deliv‐
er, the owner's cooperation and assis‐
tance is also required.
Common causes of corrosion
The most common causes of corrosion on your vehicle are: • Road salt, dirt and moisture that is allowed to accumulate underneath
the vehicle.
• Removal of paint or protective coat‐ ings by stones, gravel, abrasion or
minor scrapes and dents which leave unprotected metal exposed to corro‐
sion.
High-corrosion areas
If you live in an area where your vehicle
is regularly exposed to corrosive mate‐ rials, corrosion protection is particularly
important. Some of the common cau‐
ses of accelerated corrosion are road salts, dust control chemicals, ocean air
and industrial pollution.
Maintenance
8-130

• Do not misuse or abuse the engine.Examples of misuse are coasting with
the ignition off and descending steep grades in gear with the ignition off.
• Do not operate the engine at high idle speed for extended periods (5 mi‐
nutes or more).
• Do not modify or tamper with any part of the engine or emission control
system. All inspections and adjust‐ ments must be made by a professio‐
nal workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorized Kia dealer/service
center.
• Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel couldcause the engine to misfire, damag‐
ing the catalytic converter.
Failure to observe these precautions
could result in damage to the catalytic converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void
your warranties.
Diesel particulate filter (if
equipped)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) sys‐
tem removes the soot in the exhaust gas. Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxidizes)
and removes the accumulated soot ac‐ cording to the driving condition. In other
words, the active burning by engine
control system and high exhaust gas temperature caused by normal/high
driving condition burns and removes
the accumulated soot.
However, if the vehicle continues to be driven at repeated short distance or
driven at low speed for a long time, the
accumulated soot may not be auto‐ matically removed because of low ex‐
haust gas temperature. More than a
certain amount of soot deposited, the malfunction indicator light (
) illumi‐
nates.
When the malfunction indicator light
blinks, it may stop blinking by driving
the vehicle at more than 60 km/h (37 mph) or at more than second gear
with 1500 ~ 2500 engine rpm for a cer‐
tain time (for about 25 minutes).
If the malfunction indicator light (
)
continues to be blinked or the warning
massage "Check exhaust system" illu‐ minates in spite of the procedure, visit
a professional workshop and check the
DPF system. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner. If you continue to drive with the mal‐
function indicator light blinking for a long time, the DPF system can be dam‐
aged and fuel consumption can be wor‐
sen.
CAUTION
Diesel Fuel (if equipped with DPF)It is recommended to use the regula‐ted automotive diesel fuel for dieselvehicle equipped with the DPF sys‐tem.If you use diesel fuel including highsulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur)and unspecified additives, it cancause the DPF system to be dam‐aged and white smoke can be emit‐ted.
Lean NOx trap (if equipped)
The Lean NOx Trap (LNT) system re‐
moves the nitrogen oxide in the ex‐ haust gas. The smell can occur in the
exhaust gas depending on the quality
of the fuel and it can degrade NOx re‐ duction performance, please use the
regulated automotive diesel fuel.
