Maintenance

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Engine oil and filter
The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. If the vehi‐
cle is being driven in severe conditions,
more frequent oil and filter changes are required.
Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil satu‐ ration and replace if necessary. Drive
belts should be checked periodically for
proper tension and adjusted as neces‐
sary.
CAUTION
When you are inspecting the belt,place the ignition switch in theLOCK/OFF or ACC position.
Fuel filter cartridge (for diesel)
A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven, dam‐
age the emission system and cause multiple issues such as hard starting. If
an excessive amount of foreign matter
accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may require replacement more fre‐
quently.
After installing a new filter, run the en‐
gine for several minutes, and check for leaks at the connections. Have the fuel
filter replaced by a professional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an au‐ thorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Fuel filter (for gasoline)
Kia gasoline vehicle is equipped a life‐
time fuel filter that integrated with the fuel tank. Regular maintenance or re‐
placement is not needed but depends
on fuel quality. If there are some im‐ portant safety matters like fuel flow
restriction, surging, loss of power, hard
starting problem etc, fuel filter inspec‐ tion or replace is needed.
Have the fuel filter inspected or re‐
placed by a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and damage. Have the fuel lines, fuel hoses and con‐
nections replaced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
nDiesel only
Never work on the injection systemwith the engine running or within 30seconds after shutting off the en‐gine. High pressure pump, rail, injec‐tors and high pressure pipes aresubject to high pressure even afterthe engine stops. The fuel jet pro‐duced by fuel leaks may cause seri‐ous injury, if it touches the body.People using pacemakers should notmore move than 30 cm closer to theECU or wiring harness within the en‐gine room while the engine is run‐ning, since the high currents in theCommon Rail system produce con‐siderable magnetic fields.

Maintenance

Vapor hose (for gasoline engine)
and fuel filler cap
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap
should be inspected at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule.
Make sure that a new vapor hose or
fuel filler cap is correctly replaced.
Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi‐
dence of heat and/or mechanical dam‐ age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking,
tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive
swelling indicate deterioration. Particu‐ lar attention should be paid to examine
those hose surfaces nearest to high
heat sources, such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that
the hoses do not come in contact with
any heat source, sharp edges or mov‐ ing component which might cause heat
damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all
hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make sure they are se‐
cure, and that no leaks are present. Ho‐
ses should be replaced immediately if there is any evidence of deterioration
or damage.
Air cleaner filter
Have the air cleaner filter replaced by a
professional workshop. Kia recom‐ mends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
Spark plugs (for gasoline engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs of
the correct heat range.
WARNING
Do not disconnect and inspect sparkplugs when the engine is hot. Youmay burn yourself.
Valve clearance (for Kappa 1.0L
T-GDI engine)
Inspect for excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if necessa‐ ry. In this case, have the system serv‐
iced by a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Cooling system
Check the cooling system components,
such as the radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and connections for leakage and
damage. Replace any damaged parts.
Coolant
The coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule.
Manual transaxle fluid (if
equipped)
Inspect the manual transaxle fluid ac‐
cording to the maintenance schedule.
Automatic transaxle fluid (if
equipped)
Automatic transaxle fluid should not be
checked under normal usage conditions.
Have the automatic transmission fluid changed by a professional workshop
according to the maintenance schedule.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
NOTICE
Automatic transaxle fluid color is ba‐
sically red.
As the vehicle is driven, the auto‐
matic transaxle fluid will begin to
look darker. It is normal condition
and you should not judge the need

AIR CLEANER
Filter replacement
It must be replaced when necessary,
and should not be washed.
You can clean the filter when inspecting the air cleaner element.
Clean the filter by using compressed
air.
1. Loosen the air cleaner cover at‐ taching clips and open the cover.
2. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner.
3. Replace the air cleaner filter. 4. Lock the cover with the cover at‐
taching clips.
Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is operated in extremely dusty or sandy areas, replace the ele‐
ment more often than the usual rec‐
ommended intervals. (Refer to L

CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER
Filter inspection
The climate control air filter should bereplaced according to the maintenance
schedule. If the vehicle is operated in
severely air-polluted cities or on dusty rough roads for a long period, it should
be inspected more frequently and re‐
placed earlier. When you replace the cli‐ mate control air filter, replace it per‐
forming the following procedure, and
be careful to avoid damaging other components.
1. Open the glove box and remove the stoppers on both sides.
2. With the glove box open, pull thesupport strap (1).
3. Remove the climate control air fil‐ter cover while pressing the lock on
the right side of the cover.
4. Replace the climate control air fil‐ ter.
5. Reassemble in the reverse order of disassembly.
NOTICE
When replacing the climate control
air filter install it properly. Other‐
wise, the system may produce noise
and the effectiveness of the filter
may be reduced.

Maintenance

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The emission control system of your vehicle is covered by a written limited
warranty. Please see the warranty in‐
formation 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 regulations.
There are three emission control sys‐ tems, as follows. 1. Crankcase emission control system
2. Evaporative emission control sys‐ tem
3. Exhaust emission control system
In order to assure the proper function
of the emission control systems, have
your vehicle inspected and maintained by a professional workshop in accord‐
ance with the maintenance schedule in
this manual. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Caution for the Inspection and Mainte‐nance Test (With Electronic StabilityControl (ESC) system)
•To prevent the vehicle from misfiringduring dynamometer testing, turnthe Electronic Stability Control (ESC)system off by pressing the ESCswitch. •
After dynamometer testing is com‐pleted, turn the ESC system back onby pressing the ESC switch again.
1. Crankcase emission control
system
The positive crankcase ventilation sys‐
tem is employed to prevent air pollu‐ tion caused by blow-by gases being
emitted from the crankcase.
This system supplies fresh filtered air
to the crankcase through the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase, the fresh air
mixes with blow-by gases, which then
pass through the PCV valve into the in‐ duction system.
2. Evaporative emission control
system
The Evaporative Emission Control Sys‐
tem is designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere.
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the on‐ board canister. When the engine is run‐
ning, the fuel vapors absorbed in the
canister are drawn into the surge tank through the purge control solenoid
valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is con‐
trolled by the Engine Control Module (ECM); when the engine coolant tem‐
perature is low during idling, the PCSV
closes so that evaporated fuel is not taken into the engine. After the engine
warms up during ordinary driving, the
PCSV opens to introduce evaporated fuel to the engine.
3. Exhaust emission control
system
The Exhaust Emission Control System
is a highly effective system which con‐
trols exhaust emissions while maintain‐
ing good vehicle performance.
Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could affect
its performance, safety or durability and may even violate governmental
safety and emissions regulations.
In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from any modifica‐ tion may not be covered under warran‐
ty.
