SORENTO NORMAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE P=Perform • R=Replace • I=Inspect†
* See the Owner’s Manual for complete maintenance schedule† And, if necessary, adjust, correct, clean or replace‡ If equipped1. If TOP TIER detergent gasoline is not available, one bottle of additive is recommended. Additives are available from your authorized Kia dealer along with information on how to use them. Do not mix other additives2. Both the fuel filter & fuel tank air filter are generally considered to be maintenance free, depending on fuel quality
being used. However, periodic inspection is recommended. If your vehicle is having issues like fuel flow restriction, power surging, loss of power, difficulty starting, etc., replace the fuel filter immediately and consult an authorized Kia dealer for service.3. Transfer case oil and rear axle oil should be changed anytime they have been submerged in water4. Inspect for excessive tappet noise and/or engine vibration and adjust if necessary5. The drive belt should be replaced when cracks occur or tension is reduced excessively
See your Owner’s Manual for more details and complete maintenance information, including severe maintenance schedule. Warranty may be voided if maintenance schedule is not followed.
