Maintenance
G051500AUN Brake hoses and lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and any
leakage. Replace any deteriorated or
damaged parts immediately. G051600AHM Brake fluid
Check the brake fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir. The level should be
between “MIN” and “MAX” marks on the
side of the reservoir. Use only hydraulic
brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT4 specification.
G051700AUN
Parking brake
Inspect the parking brake system includ-
ing the parking brake pedal and cables.G051900BUN
Brake discs, pads, calipers and
rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear, discs
for run out and wear, and calipers for fluid
leakage.
For more information on checking the
pads or lining wear limit, we recommend
to refer to the Kia web site. (
http://brakeman
ual.kia.co.kr)
G052100AUN Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections for
looseness or damage. Retighten to the
specified torque.
G052200AUN
Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine off,
check for excessive free-play in the
steering wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or damage.
Check the dust boots and ball joints for
deterioration, cracks, or damage.
Replace any damaged parts. G052300AEN
Power steering pump, belt and hoses
Check the power steering pump and
hoses for leakage and damage. Replace
any damaged or leaking parts immedi-
ately. Inspect the power steering belt (or
drive belt) for evidence of cuts, cracks,
excessive wear, oiliness and proper ten-
sion. Replace or adjust it if necessary.
G052400AUN Drive shafts and boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and clamps
for cracks, deterioration, or damage.
Replace any damaged parts and, if nec-
essary, repack the grease.
G052500AUN
Air conditioning refrigerant (if equipped)
Check the air conditioning lines and con-
nections for leakage and damage.
CAUTION
The use of a non-specified fluid
could result in transmission mal-
function and failure.
Use only specified automatic trans-mission fluid. (Refer to“Recommended lubricants and
capacities” in section 8.)

Maintenance
POWER STEERING FLUID
G090100AHM
Checking the power steering fluid
level
With the vehicle on level ground, check
the fluid level in the power steering reser-
voir periodically. The fluid should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the reservoir at the normal tem-
perature.
Before adding power steering fluid, thor- oughly clean the area around the reser-
voir cap to prevent power steering fluidcontamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level.
✽✽ NOTICE
Check that the fluid level is in the
"HOT" range on the reservoir. If the
fluid is cold, check that it is in the
"COLD" range.
In the event the power steering system requires frequent addition of fluid, the
vehicle should be inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Use only the specified power steering fluid. (Refer to "Recommended lubricants or capacities" in section 8.)
G090200AEN
Checking the power steering hose
Check the connections for oil leaks, dam-
age and twists in the power steering
hose before driving.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the power
steering pump, do not operate thevehicle for prolonged periodswith a low power steering fluidlevel.
Never start the engine when the reservoir tank is empty.
When adding fluid, be careful that dirt does not get into the tank.
Too little fluid can result in increased steering effort and/or
noise from the power steeringsystem.
The use of the non-specified fluid could reduce the effectiveness ofthe power steering system and
cause damage to it.OHM078006N

Maintenance
G200600BHM Tire replacement
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there isless than 1.6 mm (1/16 in.) of tread
left on the tire. Replace the tire when
this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tire.
✽✽NOTICE
We recommend that when replacing
tires, use the same originally sup-
plied with the vehicles.
If not, that effects driving perform-
ance.
OEN076053
Tread wear indicator
WARNING - Replacing
tires
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries from an acci-
dent caused by tire failure or
loss of vehicle control:
Replace tires that are worn, show uneven wear, or are dam-
aged. Worn tires can cause
loss of braking effectiveness,
steering control, and traction.
Do not drive your vehicle with too little or too much pressure
in your tires. This can lead to
uneven wear and tire failure.
(Continued)
(Continued)
When replacing tires, nevermix radial and bias-ply tires
on the same car. You must
replace all tires (including the
spare) if moving from radial to
bias-ply tires.
Using tires and wheels other than the recommended sizes
could cause unusual handling
characteristics and poor vehi-
cle control, resulting in a seri-ous accident.
Wheels that do not meet Kia’s specifications may fit poorly
and result in damage to the
vehicle or unusual handling
and poor vehicle control.
The ABS works by comparing the speed of the wheels. The
tire size affects wheel speed.
When replacing tires, all 4 tires
must use the same size origi-
nally supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size
can cause the ABS (Anti-lockBrake System) and ESP
(Electronic Stability Program)
(if equipped) to work irregularly.CAUTION
When replacing the tires,recheck and tighten the wheelnuts after driving about 1,000km(620miles). If the steeringwheel shakes or the vehiclevibrates while driving, the tire isout of balance. Align the tire bal-ance. If the problem is notsolved, we recommend that youcontact an authorized Kia dealer.

Interior care G230201CHM
Interior general precautions
Prevent chemicals such as perfume, cos- metic oil, sun cream, hand cleaner and
air freshener from contacting the interior
parts because they may cause damage
or discoloration. If they do contact the
interior parts, wipe them off immediately.
See the instructions for the proper way to
clean vinyl.G230202AUN
Cleaning the upholstery and interior
trim
Vinyl
Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean vinyl surfaces with a vinyl cleaner.
Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.Clean with a mild soap solution recom-
mended for upholstery or carpets.
Remove fresh spots immediately with a
fabric spot cleaner. If fresh spots do not
receive immediate attention, the fabriccan be stained and its color can be
affected. Also, its fire-resistant properties
can be reduced if the material is not
properly maintained. G230203AUN
Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt web-
bing
Clean the belt webbing with any mild
soap solution recommended for cleaning
upholstery or carpet. Follow the instruc-
tions provided with the soap. Do not
bleach or re-dye the webbing because
this may weaken it. G230204AHM
Cleaning the interior window glass
If the interior glass surfaces of the vehi-
cle become fogged (that is, covered with
an oily, greasy or waxy film), they should
be cleaned with a glass cleaner. Followthe directions on the glass cleaner con-
tainer.CAUTION
Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact withelectrical/electronic componentsinside the vehicle as this may dam-age them.
CAUTION
Using anything but recommended
cleaners and procedures may affect the fabric’s appearance and fire-resistant properties.
CAUTION
Do not scrape or scratch the insideof the rear window. This may result in damage of the rear windowdefroster grid.CAUTION
When cleaning leather products(steering wheel, seats etc.), use neutral detergents or low alcohol
content solutions. If you use highalcohol content solutions oracid/alkaline detergents, the colorof the leather may fade or the sur-
face may get stripped off.
