Normal Maintenance Schedule - Non Turbo Models
*1:As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should be checked on regular basis. The engi ne
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.
*
2:Fuel tank air filter is considered to be maintenance free but periodic inspection is recommended as the level of maintenance will be dependent upon the quality fuel used in the vehicle.
*
3:The drive belt should be replaced when cracks occur or tension is reduced.
 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.
Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil
saturation, and replace if necessary.
Drive belts should be checked peri-
odically for proper tension and
adjusted as necessary.
Fuel filter (for gasoline)
Kia gasoline vehicles are equipped
with a lifetime fuel filter that inte-
grates with the fuel tank. Regular
maintenance or replacement is not
needed but depends on fuel quality. If
there are some important safety mat-
ters 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

connections for leakage and dam-
age. Have an authorized Kia dealer

inspected at the intervals specified in
the maintenance schedule. Make
