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
