2018 KIA STONIC water pump

Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle in
another country, be sure to: • Observe all regulations regarding reg‐ istration and insurance.
• Determine that acceptable fuel is available.
Diesel engine
Diesel fuel
Diesel engine must be operated only on
commercially available diesel fuel that
complies with EN 590 or comparable standard. (EN stands for "European
Norm"). Do not use marine diesel fuel,
heating oils, or non-approved fuel addi‐ tives, as this will increase wear and
cause damage to the engine and fuel
system. The use of non-approved fuels and / or fuel additives will result in a
limitation of your warranty rights.
Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 is used in
your vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel
are available, use summer or winter fuel properly according to the following
temperature conditions. • Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
• Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type die‐ sel fuel. Watch the fuel level in the tank very
carefully : If the engine stops through
fuel failure, the circuits must be com‐
pletely purged to restart.
CAUTION
Do not let any gasoline or water en‐ter the tank. This would make it nec‐essary to drain it out and to bleedthe lines to avoid jamming the injec‐tion pump and damaging the engine.
CAUTION
nDiesel Fuel (if equipped withDPF)
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.
Biodiesel
Commercially supplied Diesel blends of
no more than 7% biodiesel, commonly
known as "B7 Diesel" may be used in your vehicle if Biodiesel meets EN
14214 or equivalent specifications. (EN
stands for "European Norm"). The use of biofuels exceeding 7% made from
rapeseed methyl ester (RME), fatty
acid methyl ester (FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester (VME) etc. or mixing die‐
sel exceeding 7% with biodiesel will
cause increased wear or damage to the engine and fuel system. Repair or re‐
placement of worn or damaged compo‐
nents due to the use of non approved fuels will not be covered by the manu‐
factures warranty.
CAUTION
•Never use any fuel, whether dieselor B7 biodiesel or otherwise, thatfails to meet the latest petroleumindustry specification.
•Never use any fuel additives ortreatments that are not recom‐mended or approved by the vehiclemanufacturer.

Introduction

BRAKE SYSTEM
Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakesthat adjust automatically through nor‐
mal usage.
In the event that the power-assisted
brakes lose power because of a stalled engine or some other reason, you can
still stop your vehicle by applying
greater force to the brake pedal than you normally would. The stopping dis‐
tance, however, will be longer.
When the engine is not running, the re‐
serve brake power is partially depleted each time the brake pedal is applied. Do
not pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when nec‐ essary to maintain steering control on
slippery surfaces.
WARNING
nBrakes
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Do not drive with your foot restingon the brake pedal. This will createabnormal high brake tempera‐tures, excessive brake lining andpad wear, and increased stoppingdistances.
•When descending a long or steephill, shift to a lower gear and avoidcontinuous application of thebrakes. Continuous brake applica‐tion will cause the brakes to over‐heat and could result in a tempo‐rary loss of braking performance.
•Wet brakes may impair the vehi‐cle’s ability to safely slow down;the vehicle may also pull to oneside when the brakes are applied.Applying the brakes lightly will in‐dicate whether they have been af‐fected in this way. Always testyour brakes in this fashion afterdriving through deep water. To drythe brakes, apply them lightlywhile maintaining a safe forwardspeed until brake performance re‐turns to normal.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Always, confirm the position ofthe brake and accelerator pedalbefore driving. If you don't checkthe position of the accelerator andbrake pedal before driving, youmay depress the accelerator in‐stead of the brake pedal. It maycause a serious accident.
In the event of brake failure
If service brakes fail to operate while
the vehicle is in motion, you can make an emergency stop with the parking
brake. The stopping distance, however,
will be much greater than normal.
WARNING
nParking brake
Applying the parking brake while thevehicle is moving at normal speedscan cause a sudden loss of control ofthe vehicle. If you must use theparking brake to stop the vehicle,use great caution in applying thebrake.

SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions are
encountered such as water, snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar hazards, follow
these suggestions: • Drive cautiously and allow extra dis‐ tance for braking.
• Avoid sudden braking or steering.
• When braking with non-ABS brakes pump the brake pedal with a light up-
and-down motion until the vehicle is stopped.
WARNING
nABS
Do not pump the brake pedal on avehicle equipped with ABS.
• If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use second gear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
• Use sand, rock salt, tire chains, or other non-slip material under the
drive wheels to provide traction when
stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
WARNING
nDownshifting
Downshifting with an automatictransaxle, while driving on slipperysurfaces can cause an accident. Thesudden change in tire speed couldcause the tires to skid. Be carefulwhen downshifting on slippery sur‐faces.
Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn the steering wheel right and left
to clear the area around your front
wheels. Then, shift back and forth be‐ tween 1st (First) and R (Reverse) in ve‐
hicles equipped with a manual transaxle
or R (Reverse) and any forward gear in
vehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle. Do not race the engine, and
spin the wheels as little as possible. If
you are still stuck after a few tries, have the vehicle pulled out by a tow ve‐
hicle to avoid engine overheating and
possible damage to the transaxle.
CAUTION
Prolonged rocking may cause engineover-heating, transaxle damage orfailure, and tire damage.
WARNING
nSpinning tires
Do not spin the wheels, especially atspeeds more than 56 km/h (35mph). Spinning the wheels at highspeeds when the vehicle is station‐ary could cause a tire to overheatwhich could result in tire damagethat may injure bystanders.
NOTICE
The ESC system (if equipped) should
be turned OFF prior to rocking the
vehicle.

ways place the vehicle in P (Park),apply the parking brake and turn offthe engine before installing snowchains.
WARNING
nTire chains
•The use of chains may adverselyaffect vehicle handling.
•Do not exceed 30 km/h (20 mph)or the chain manufacturer’s rec‐ommended speed limit, whicheveris lower.
•Drive carefully and avoid bumps,holes, sharp turns, and other roadhazards, which may cause the ve‐hicle to bounce.
•Avoid sharp turns or lockedwheelbraking.
CAUTION
•Chains that are the wrong size orimproperly installed can damageyour vehicle's brake lines, suspen‐sion, body and wheels.
•Stop driving and retighten thechains any time you hear themhitting the vehicle.
Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high quali‐
ty ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling
system. It is the only type of coolant
that should be used because it helps
prevent corrosion in the cooling sys‐ tem, lubricates the water pump and
prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or
replenish your coolant in accordance with the maintenance schedule in
L

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you will experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock‐
ing, the engine is probably too hot. If
this happens, you should: 1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in P (automatic transaxle) or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking
brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out un‐ der the vehicle or steam is coming
out from the hood, stop the engine.
Do not open the hood until the
coolant has stopped running or the
steaming has stopped. If there is no
visible loss of engine coolant and no
steam, leave the engine running
and check to be sure the engine
cooling fan is operating. If the fan is
not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not
missing, check to see that it is
tight.
If the drive belt seems to be satis‐
factory, check for coolant leaking
from the radiator, hoses or under
the vehicle. (If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for
cold water to be draining from it
when you stop).
WARNING
While the engine is running, keephair, hands and clothing away frommoving parts such as the fan anddrive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is bro‐ ken or engine coolant is leaking out,
stop the engine immediately and
call a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to call an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator capwhen the engine is hot. This can al‐low coolant to blow out of the open‐ing and cause serious burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor‐
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,
carefully add coolant to the reser‐
voir to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call a
professional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to call an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
•Serious loss of coolant indicatesthere is a leak in the cooling sys‐tem. In this case, have the sys‐tem checked by a professionalworkshop. Kia recommends tovisit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
•When the engine overheats fromlow engine coolant, suddenlyadding engine coolant may causecracks in the engine. To preventdamage, add engine coolantslowly in small quantities.
