ENGINE COOLANT

,The high-pressure cooling system

has a reservoir filled with year round

antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is

filled at the factory.

Check the antifreeze protection and

coolant level at least once a year, at

the beginning of the winter season,

and before traveling to a colder cli-

mate.

Checking the coolant level

Check the condition and connections

of all cooling system hoses and

heater hoses. Replace any swollen

or deteriorated hoses.

The coolant level should be filled

between F and L marks on the side

of the coolant reservoir when the

engine is cool.

If the coolant level is low, add enough

distilled (deionized) water to provide

protection against freezing and cor-

rosion. Bring the level to F, but do not

overfill. If frequent additions are

required, see an authorized Kia deal-

er for a cooling system inspection.

WARNING - Cooling fan

Use caution when

working near the

blade of the cooling

fan. The electric

motor (cooling fan) is

controlled by engine coolant

temperature, refrigerant pres-

sure and vehicle speed. It may

sometimes operate even when

the engine is not running.
