R : Replace or change.
*1: If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not available, one bottle of additive is recommended. Additives are available from your autho r-
ized Kia dealer along with information on how to use them. Do not mix other additives.
*2: As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should be checked on regular basis. The engine oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of the recommended engine specifica\
tion. If the recom-
mended engine oil specification is not used, then replace the engine oil\
according to the maintenance schedule under severe
operating conditions.
*3: Inspect HSG belt for evidence of cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil saturation and replace if necessary. If HSG belt noiseoccurred, readjust HSG belt tension before replace.
*4: Fuel tank air filter are considered to be maintenance free but periodic inspection is recommended for this maintenance sched-ule depends on fuel quality.
❈ As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the amount of engine oil should be checked regularly.
❈ The replacement cycle of engine oil is set by the period which the performance of our recommended engine oil is maintained.
Fuel filter (gasoline engine): The fuel filter is considered to be maintenance free but periodic inspection is recommended for this maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality.
- If there are some important safety matters like fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of power, hard starting problem etc., re place
the fuel filter immediately regardless of maintenance schedule and consu\
lt an authorized Kia dealer for details.

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
vehicle is being driven in severe con-
ditions, more frequent oil and filter
changes are required.
HSG (Hybrid starter & genera-
tor) belt
The HSG belt should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Fuel filter (for gasoline)
Kia gasoline vehicles are equipped a
lifetime fuel filter that integrated with
the fuel tank. Regular maintenance
or replacement is not needed but
depends on fuel quality. If there are
some important safety matters like
fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of
power, hard starting problem etc, fuel
filter inspection or replace is needed.
The fuel filter be Inspected or
replaced by an authorized Kia dealer.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-
nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and dam-
age. Have an authorized Kia dealer
replace any damaged or leaking
parts immediately.
Fuel tank and fuel cap
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap
should be inspected at those inter-
vals specified in the maintenance
schedule. Make sure that a new fuel
tank and fuel cap is correctly
replaced.

Maintenance

Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-
dence of heat and/or mechanical
damage. Hard and brittle rubber,
cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterio-
ration. Particular 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 con-
tact with any heat source, sharp
edges or moving component which
might cause heat damage or
mechanical wear. Inspect all hose
connections, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure they are
secure, and that no leaks are pres-
ent. Hoses should be replaced
immediately if there is any evidence
of deterioration or damage.
Air cleaner filter
A Genuine Kia air cleaner filter is
recommended when the filter is
replaced.
Spark plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
When assembling parts, be sure to
wipe the inside and outside of the
boot bottom of the ignition coil and
the insulator of the spark plug with a
soft cloth to prevent contamination of
the spark plug insulator.
Cooling system
Check the cooling system compo-
nents, such as the radiator, coolant
reservoir, hoses and connections for
leakage and damage. Replace any
damaged parts.
Coolant (Engine / Inverter)
The coolant should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Dual clutch transmission Fluid
Inspect the dual clutch transmission
fluid according to the maintenance
schedule.
Brake hoses and lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and
any leakage. Replace any deteriorat-
ed or damaged parts immediately.

Use a funnel to help prevent oil
from being spilled on engine com-
ponents.
Use only the specified engine oil.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricantsand capacities” in chapter 8.)
Do not spill engine oil when adding or changing engine oil. Wipe off
spilled oil immediately.
The engine oil consumption may increase while you break in a new
vehicle and it will be stabilized after
driving 4,000 miles (6,000 km).
The engine oil consumption can be affected by driving habits, climate
conditions, traffic conditions, oil
quality, etc. Therefore, it is recom-
mended that you inspect the
engine oil level regularly and refill it
if necessary.Changing the engine oil and
filter
Have engine oil and filter changed by
an authorized Kia dealer according
to the Maintenance Schedule at the
beginning of this chapter.
If the maintenance schedule toreplace engine oil is exceeded, the
engine oil performance may deterio-
rate, and the engine condition may
be affected. Therefore, replace the
engine oil according to the mainte-
nance schedule.
To keep the engine in optimal condi- tion, use the recommended engine
oil and filter. If the recommended
engine oil and filter are not used
replace it according to the mainte-
nance schedule under severe usage
conditions.
The purpose of the maintenance schedule for engine oil replace-
ment is to prevent oil deterioration
and it is irrelevant to oil consump-
tion. Check and refill engine oil reg-
ularly.
