OWNER MAINTENANCE
The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per‐
formed at the frequencies indicated to help ensure safe, dependable operation
of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your dealer as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance Checks are
generally not covered by warranties
and you may be charged for labor, parts and lubricants used.
Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir.
• Check the windshield washer fluid level.
• Look for low or under-inflated tires.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your en‐gine coolant level when the engine ishot. Scalding hot coolant and steam

may blow out under pressure. Thiscould cause burns or other seriousinjury.
While operating your vehicle:
• Note any changes in the sound of the exhaust or any smell of exhaust
fumes in the vehicle.
• Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steering
effort or looseness in the steering
wheel, or change in its straight-
ahead position.
• Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or L

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.

CAUTION
•Water washing in the engine com‐partment including high pressurewater washing may cause the fail‐ure of electrical circuits located inthe engine compartment.
•Never allow water or other liquidsto come in contact with electrical/electronic components inside thevehicle as this may damage them.
Waxing
Wax the vehicle when water will no lon‐
ger bead on the paint. Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing. Use a good quality liquid or
paste wax, and follow the manufactur‐
er’s instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect it and to maintain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materials
with a spot remover will usually strip
the wax from the finish. Be sure to re- wax these areas even if the rest of the
vehicle does not yet need waxing.
Do not apply wax on embossed unpain‐
ted unit, as it may tarnish the unit.
CAUTION
•Wiping dust or dirt off the bodywith a dry cloth will scratch thefinish.
•Do not use steel wool, abrasivecleaners, acid detergents or strongdetergents containing high alkalineor caustic agents on chrome-plat‐ed or anodized aluminum parts.This may result in damage to theprotective coating and cause dis‐coloration or paint deterioration.
Finish damage repair
Deep scratches or stone chips in the
painted surface must be repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly rust and may develop into a major re‐
pair expense.
NOTICE
If your vehicle is damaged and re‐
quires any metal repair or replace‐
ment, be sure the body shop applies
anti-corrosion materials to the parts
repaired or replaced.
Bright-metal maintenance
• To remove road tar and insects, use a tar remover, not a scraper or other
sharp object.
• To protect the surfaces of bright metal parts from corrosion, apply a
coating of wax or chrome preserva‐
tive and rub to a high luster.
• During winter weather or in coastal areas, cover the bright metal parts
with a heavier coating of wax or preservative. If necessary, coat the
parts with non-corrosive petroleum
jelly or other protective compound.

Maintenance

Fabric seat cover using precautions
(If equipped)
Please clean the fabric seats regularly
with a vacuum cleaner in consideration of fabric material characteristics. If
they are heavily soiled with beverage
stains, etc., use a suitable interior cleaner. To prevent damage to seat
covers, wipe off the seat covers down
to the seams with a large wiping mo‐ tion and moderate pressure using a
soft sponge or microfiber cloth. Velcro
closures on clothing or sharp objects may cause snagging or scratches on
the surface of the seats. Make sure not
to rub such objects against the surface.
Cleaning the upholstery and
interior trim
Vinyl
Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner. Clean vinyl surfaces with a vinyl clean‐
er.
Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner. Clean with a mild soap solution recom‐
mended for upholstery or carpets. Re‐
move fresh spots immediately with a fabric spot cleaner. If fresh spots do
not receive immediate attention, the
fabric can be stained and its color can be affected. Also, its fire-resistant
properties can be reduced if the mate‐
rial is not properly maintained.
CAUTION
Using anything but recommendedcleaners and procedures may affectthe fabric’s appearance and fire-re‐sistant properties.
Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt
webbing
Clean the belt webbing with any mild
soap solution recommended for clean‐ ing upholstery or carpet. Follow the in‐
structions provided with the soap. Do
not bleach or re-dye the webbing be‐ cause this may weaken it.
Cleaning the interior window glass

hicle become fogged (that is, covered
with an oily, greasy or waxy film), they should be cleaned with glass cleaner.
Follow the directions on the glass
cleaner container.
CAUTION
Do not scrape or scratch the insideof the rear window. This may resultin damage to the rear window de‐froster grid.
