It is applicable only when using a qualified fuel <"EN590 or equivalent">. If the diesel fuel specifications don't meet the
EN590, t must be replaced more frequently. Kia recommends "every 7,500km inspection,
every 15,000km replacement". If there are some important safety matters like fuel flow
restriction, surging, loss of power, hard starting problem etc., replace the fuel filter imme-
diately regardless of maintenance schedule and we recommend that you consult an
authorized Kia dealer for details
*6Fuel additives (Petrol)
Kia recommends that you use unleaded petrol which has an octane rating of RON
(Research Octane Number) 95 / AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher (for Europe) or
Octane Rating of RON (Research Octane Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87 or high-
er (except Europe).
For customers who do not use good quality gasolines including fuel additives regularly, and
have problems starting or the engine does not run smoothly, one bottle of additives added
to the fuel tank at every 15,000km (for Europe, Australia and New Zealand)/ 10,000km
(except Europe, Australia and New Zealand, China) / 5,000 km (for China) . Additives are

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 car
is being driven in severe conditions,more frequent oil and filter changesare 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 cartridge (for diesel) A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven,damage the emission system and
cause multiple issues such as hard
starting. If an excessive amount of
foreign matter accumulates in the
fuel tank, the filter may require
replacement more frequently.
After installing a new filter, run the
engine for several minutes, and
check for leaks at the connections.
We recommend that the fuel filter be
replaced by an authorised Kia dealer.
Fuel filter (for petrol)
Kia petrol vehicle is equipped a life-
time fuel filter that integrated with the
fuel tank. Regular maintenance or
replacement is not needed but
depends on fuel quality. If there are
some important safety matters like
fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of
power, hard starting problem etc, fuelfilter inspection or replace is needed.
We recommend that the fuel filter be
Inspected or replaced by an autho-
rised Kia dealer.Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con- nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and dam-
age. We recommend that the fuel
lines, fuel hoses and connections be
replaced by an authorised Kia dealer.
WARNING -
Diesel only
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30seconds after shutting off
engine. High pressure pump,
rail, injectors and high pressurepipes are subject to high pres-
sure even after the engine
stopped. The fuel jet produced
by fuel leaks may cause serious
injury, if it touch the body. People
using pacemakers should not
move more than 30cm closer tothe ECU or wiring harness with-
in the engine room whilst engine
is running, since the high cur-rents in the Common Rail sys-
tem produce considerable mag-netic fields.
CAUTION
When you are inspecting the belt, place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF or ACCposition.

ENGINE OIL
Checking the engine oil level
1. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating tempera-
ture. 3. Turn the engine off and wait for a
few minutes (about 5 minutes) for
the oil to return to the oil pan.
4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and re-insert it fully.
5. Pull the dipstick out again and check the level. The level should
be between F and L.
WARNING - Radiator
hose
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking or
adding the engine oil as it may
be hot enough to burn you.
CAUTION - Diesel engine
Overfilling the engine oil may
cause severe dieseling due tochurning effect. It may lead toengine damage accompanied with abrupt engine speed incre-ment, combustion noise andwhite smoke emission.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the engine oil. It may damage the engine.
Do not spill engine oil, when adding or changing engine oil.If you drop the engine oil on the engine room, wipe it offimmediately.
When you wipe the oil level gauge, you should wipe it witha clean cloth. When mixed with debris, it can causeengine damage.
