Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and dust control may
collect on the underbody. If these
materials are not removed, acceler-
ated rusting can occur on underbody
parts such as the fuel lines, frame,
floor pan and exhaust system, even
though they have been treated with
rust protection.
Thoroughly flush the vehicle under-
body and wheel openings with luke-
warm or cold water once a month,
after off-road driving and at the end
of each winter. Pay special attentionto these areas because it is difficult
to see all the mud and dirt. It will do
more harm than good to wet down
the road grime without removing it.
The lower edges of the doors, rocker
panels, and frame members have
drain holes that should not clog with
dirt; trapped water in these areas can
cause rusting.
Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels are coated
with a clear protective finish.
Do not use any abrasive cleaner,
polishing compound, solvent, or
wire brushes on aluminum wheels.
They may scratch or damage thefinish.
Clean the wheel when it has cooled.
Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent, and rinse thoroughly
with water. Also, be sure to clean
the wheels after driving on salted
roads. This helps prevent corrosion.
Avoid washing the wheels with high-speed car wash brushes.
Do not use any alkaline or acid detergent. It may damage and cor-
rode the aluminum wheels coated
with a clear protective finish.WARNING
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes while driving slowly
to see if they have been affected
by water. If braking performance
is impaired, dry the brakes by
applying them lightly while main-
taining a slow forward speed.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The emission control system of your
vehicle is covered by a written limited
warranty. Please see the warranty
information contained in the
Warranty & Maintenance book in your
vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an emission control system to meet all
applicable emission regulations. There are three emission control
systems, as follows.
(1) Cr ankcase emission control
system
(2) Ev aporative emission control
system
(3) Exhaust emission control systemIn order to assure the proper function
of the emission control systems, it is
recommended that you have your
vehicle inspected and maintained by
an authorized Kia dealer in accor-dance with the maintenance sched-
ule in this manual. Caution for the Inspection and
Maintenance Test (With Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system)
To prevent the vehicle from mis-
firing during dynamometer test-
ing, turn the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system off by
pressing the ESC switch.
After dynamometer testing is completed, turn the ESC system
back on by pressing the ESC
switch again. 1. Crankcase emission control
system
The positive crankcase ventilation
system is employed to prevent air
pollution caused by blow-by gases
being emitted from the crankcase.This system supplies fresh filtered air
to the crankcase through the air
intake hose. Inside the crankcase,
the fresh air mixes with blow-by
gases, which then pass through the
PCV valve into the induction system.
2. Evaporative emission con- trol system
The Evaporative Emission Control
System is designed to prevent fuel
vapors from escaping into the atmos-
phere.

Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank are absorbed and stored in the
onboard canister. When the engine is
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in
the canister are drawn into the surgetank through the purge control sole-
noid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve
(PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is
controlled by the Engine Control
Module (ECM); when the engine
coolant temperature is low during
idling, the PCSV closes so that evap-
orated fuel is not taken into the
engine. After the engine warms up
during ordinary driving, the PCSV
opens to introduce evaporated fuel to
the engine. 3. Exhaust emission control
system
The Exhaust Emission Control
System is a highly effective system
which controls exhaust emissions
while maintaining good vehicle per-
formance.
Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could
affect its performance, safety or
durability and may even violate gov-
ernmental safety and emissions reg-
ulations.
In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from any modifi-
cation may not be covered under
warranty.
If you use unauthorized electronic devices, it may cause the vehicle to
operate abnormally, wire damage,
battery discharge and fire. For your
safety, do not use unauthorized
electronic devices.
Engine exhaust gas precautions
(carbon monoxide)
Carbon monoxide can be present with other exhaust fumes.
Therefore, if you smell exhaust
fumes of any kind inside your vehi-
cle, have it inspected and repaired
immediately. If you ever suspect
exhaust fumes are coming into
your vehicle, drive it only with all
the windows fully open. Have your
vehicle checked and repaired
immediately.
WARNING - Exhaust
Engine exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide (CO). Though
colorless and odorless, it is
dangerous and could be lethal if
inhaled. Follow the instructions
on this page to avoid CO poi-soning.

887
Maintenance
Do not operate the engine in con-fined or closed areas (such as
garages) any more than what is
necessary to move the vehicle in orout of the area.
When the vehicle is stopped in an open area for more than a short
time with the engine running,
adjust the ventilation system (as
needed) to draw outside air into the
vehicle.
Never sit in a parked or stopped vehicle for any extended time with
the engine running.
When the engine stalls or fails to start, excessive attempts to restart
the engine may cause damage tothe emission control system.Operating precautions for catalyt-
ic converters (if equipped)Your vehicle is equipped with a cat-
alytic converter emission control
device.
Therefore, the following precautions
must be observed:
Use only UNLEADED FUEL for gasoline engines.
Do not operate the vehicle when there are signs of engine malfunc-
tion, such as misfire or a noticeable
loss of performance.
Do not misuse or abuse the engine. Examples of misuse arecoasting with the ignition off and
descending steep grades in gear
with the ignition off.
Do not operate the engine at high idle speed for extended periods (5
minutes or more).
Do not modify or tamper with any part of the engine or emission con-
trol system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, dam-
aging the catalytic converter.
WARNING - Fire
A hot exhaust system can ignite flammable items under
your vehicle. Do not park the
vehicle over or near flamma-
ble objects, such as grass,
vegetation, paper, leaves, etc.
The exhaust system and cat- alytic system are very hotwhile the engine is running or
immediately after the engine
is turned off. Keep away from
the exhaust system and cat-
alytic, you may get burned.
Also, do not remove the heat
sink around the exhaust sys-
tem, do not seal the bottom of
the vehicle or do not coat the
vehicle for corrosion control.
It may present a fire risk under
certain conditions.

Failure to observe these precautions could result in damage to the catalyt-
ic converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void
your warranties.Diesel Particulate Filter (if equipped)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
system removes the soot in the
exhaust gas.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxidizes)
and removes the accumulated soot
according to the driving condition. In
other words, the active burning byengine control system and high
exhaust gas temperature caused by
normal/high driving condition burns
and removes the accumulated soot.
However, if the vehicle continues to
be driven at repeated short distance
or driven at low speed for a long
time, the accumulated soot may not
be automatically removed because
of low exhaust gas temperature.
More than a certain amount of sootdeposited, the malfunction indicator
light ( ) illuminates. When the malfunction indicator light
blinks, it may stop blinking by driving
the vehicle at more than 60 km/h (37mph) or at more than second gear
with 1500 ~ 2500 engine rpm for a
certain time (for about 25 minutes). If the malfunction indicator light ( )
continues to be blinked or the warn-
ing massage “Check exhaust system”
illuminates in spite of the procedure,
please visit an authorized Kia dealer
and the check the DPF system.
If you continue to drive with the mal-
function indicator light blinking for a
long time, the DPF system can bedamaged and fuel consumption can
be worsen.
CAUTION -
Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regulated automotive diesel fuelfor diesel vehicle equipped withthe DPF system.
If you use diesel fuel includinghigh sulfur (more than 50 ppmsulfur) and unspecified addi-tives, it can cause the DPF sys-tem to be damaged and white smoke can be emitted.

Recommended SAE viscosity
number
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has
an effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and
engine oil flowability). Lower viscosi-
ty engine oils can provide better fuel
economy and cold weather perform-
ance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfac-
tory lubrication in hot weather. Using
oils of any viscosity other than thoserecommended could result in engine
damage.
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drainplug, or dipstick before check- ing or draining any lubricant.This is especially important industy or sandy areas and when the vehicle is used on unpavedroads. Cleaning the plug anddipstick areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering theengine and other mechanismsthat could be damaged.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be
operated in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended
oil viscosity from the chart.
