IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you will experience a
loss of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine is probably too
hot. If this happens, you should:
1.Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2.Place the shift lever in P (automat- ic transaxle / dual clutch transmis-
sion) or neutral (manual transaxle)
and set the parking brake. If the air
conditioning is on, turn it off.
3.If engine coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is com-ing out from the bonnet, stop the
engine. Do not open the bonnet until
the coolant has stopped running or
the steaming has stopped. If there is
no visible loss of engine coolant and
no steam, leave the engine running
and check to be sure the engine
cooling fan is operating. If the fan is
not running, turn the engine off.
4.Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not miss-
ing, check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satis-
factory, check for coolant leaking
from the radiator, hoses or under
the vehicle. (If the air conditioning
had been in use, it is normal for
cold water to be draining from it
when you stop).
5.If the water pump drive belt is bro- ken or engine coolant is leakingout, stop the engine immediately
and call a professional workshop.Kia recommends to call an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner. 6.If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,carefully add coolant to the reser-
voir to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7.Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again,
call a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to call an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
Serious loss of coolant indi-
cates there is a leak in the cool-ing system. In this case, have the system checked by a pro-fessional workshop. Kia recom-mends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
When the engine overheats from low engine coolant, sud-denly adding engine coolantmay cause cracks in the engine. To prevent damage,add engine coolant slowly insmall quantities.
WARNING
Whilst the engine is running,
keep hair, hands and clothing
away from moving parts suchas the fan and drive belts to pre-
vent injury.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. This can
allow coolant to blow out of theopening and cause serious
burns.
