OWNER MAINTENANCE

Owner maintenance schedule

The following lists are vehicle checks and

inspections that should be performed by

the owner or an Authorized Kia Dealer at

the frequencies indicated to help ensure

safe, dependable operation of your vehi-

cle.

Any adverse conditions should be

brought to the attention of your dealer as

soon as possible.

These Owner Maintenance Checks are

generally not covered by warranties and

you may be charged for labor, parts and

lubricants used.

When you stop for fuel:

• Check the engine oil level.

• Check coolant level in coolant reser-

voir.

• Check the windshield washer fluid

level.

• Look for low or under-inflated tires.

While operating your vehicle:

• Note any changes in the sound of the

exhaust or any smell of exhaust fumes

in the vehicle.

• Check for vibrations in the steering

wheel. Notice any increased steering

effort or looseness in the steering

wheel, or change in its straight-ahead

position.

• Notice if your vehicle constantly turns

slightly or “pulls” to one side when trav-

eling on smooth, level road.

• When stopping, listen and check for

unusual sounds, pulling to one side,

increased brake pedal travel or “hard-

to-push” brake pedal.

• If any slipping or changes in the oper-

ation of your transaxle occurs, check

the transaxle fluid level.

• Check automatic transaxle P (Park)

function.

• Check parking brake.

• Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle

(water dripping from the air condition-

ing system during or after use is nor-

mal).

At least monthly:

• Check coolant level in the coolant

recovery reservoir.

• Check the operation of all exterior

lights, including the stoplights, turn sig-

nals and hazard warning flashers.

• Check the inflation pressures of all

tires including the spare.

At least twice a year

(i.e., every Spring and Fall):

• Check radiator, heater and air condi-

tioning hoses for leaks or damage.

• Check windshield washer spray and

wiper operation. Clean wiper blades

with clean cloth dampened with wash-

er fluid.

• Check headlight alignment.

• Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields

and clamps.

• Check the lap/shoulder belts for wear

and function.

• Check for worn tires and loose wheel

lug nuts.

WARNING

Be careful when checking your

engine coolant level when the

engine is hot. Scalding hot coolant

and steam may blow out under

pressure. This could cause burns or

other serious injury.
