not leak.
The exhaust system should be
checked whenever the vehicle is
raised to change the oil or for any
other purpose. If you hear a change in
the sound of the exhaust or if you drive

neath side of the vehicle, have the
exhaust system checked as soon as
possible by an authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING- Engine

open. Poisonous exhaust gases
can enter the passenger com-
partment. If you must drive with

lows:
1. Close all windows.
