If any slipping or changes in theoperation of your transmission
occurs, check the transmission
fluid level.
Check manual transmission opera- tion, including clutch operation.
Check the intelligent variable trans- mission P (Park) function.

Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).At least monthly:
Check the coolant level in theengine coolant reservoir.
Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flash-
ers.
Check the inflation pressures of all tires including the spare for tires
that are worn, show uneven wear,
or are damaged.
Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
At least twice a year (i.e., every Spring and Fall) :
Check the radiator, heater and air conditioning hoses for leaks or
damage.
Check the windshield washer spray and wiper operation. Clean
the wiper blades with a clean cloth
dampened with washer fluid.
Check the headlight alignment.
Check the muffler, exhaust pipes, shields and clamps.
Check the lap/shoulder belts for wear and function.

✽ ✽
NOTICE
The Intelligent Variable
Transmission (IVT) fluid color is
amber. As the vehicle is driven, the
Intelligent Variable Transmission
(IVT) fluid will begin to look darker.
This is normal, and you should not
judge the need to replace the fluid
based upon the changed color.
Brake hoses and lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and
any leakage. Replace any deteriorat-
ed or damaged parts immediately.
Brake/Clutch fluid
Check the brake/clutch fluid level in
the brake/clutch fluid reservoir. The
level should be between the “MIN”
and “MAX” marks on the side of the
reservoir. Use only hydraulic
brake/clutch fluid conforming to DOT
3 or DOT 4 specification.
Parking brake
Inspect the parking brake system
including the parking brake lever and
cables.
CAUTION
Use only specified Intelligent
Variable Transmission (IVT)fluid. The use of non-specifiedfluid (even marked as compati-ble with genuine) could resultin shift quality deteriorationand vibrations, and eventually,transmission failure.
(Refer to “Recommended lubri-cants and capacities” in chapter9.)

BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)
Checking the brake/clutch
fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between the MAX (Maximum) and
MIN (Minimum) marks on the side of
the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap
and adding brake/clutch fluid, clean
the area around the reservoir cap
thoroughly to prevent brake/clutch
fluid contamination. If the level is low, add fluid until you
reach the MAX (Maximum) level. The
level will fall with accumulated
mileage. This is a normal condition
associated with the wear of brake lin-
ings. If the fluid level is excessively
low, have the brake system checked
by an authorized Kia dealer.
Use only the specified brake/clutch
fluid. (Refer to “Recommended lubri-cants and capacities” in chapter 9.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
In the event the brake system
requires frequent additions of fluid,
the vehicle should be inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.
When changing and adding
brake/clutch fluid, handle it carefully.
Do not let it come in contact with
your eyes. If brake/clutch fluid should
come in contact with your eyes,
immediately flush them with a large
quantity of fresh tap water. Have your
eyes examined by a doctor as soon
as possible.
Brake/clutch fluid which has been
exposed to open air for an extended
time should never be used as its
quality cannot be guaranteed. It
should be disposed of properly.
OYB076013CAUTION - Brake/clutch fluid
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid tocontact the vehicle's body paint,as paint damage will result.
CAUTION - Proper fluid
Only use brake/clutch fluid inbrake system. Small amounts ofimproper fluids (such as engineoil) can cause damage to thebrake system.

2Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel econ-
omy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure
in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
*
3Use only specified genuine Intelligent Variable Transmission(IVT) fluid. The use of non-specified fluid (even marked as compat-
ible with genuine) could result in shift quality deterioration and vibrations, eventually, the transmission failure.(Refer to
“Explanation of Scheduled Maintenance Items” in chapter 8.)
