Introduction
Biodiesel
Commercially supplied Diesel blends of no more than 7% biodiesel, commonly
known as "B7 Diesel" may be used in
your vehicle if Biodiesel meets EN 14214
or equivalent specifications. (EN stands
for "European Norm"). The use of biofu-
els exceeding 7% made from rapeseed
methyl ester (RME), fatty acid methyl
ester (FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester
(VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceeding7% with biodiesel will cause increased
wear or damage to the engine and fuel
system. Repair or replacement of worn ordamaged components due to the use of
non approved fuels will not be covered by
the manufactures warranty.No special break-in period is needed. By
following a few simple precautions for the
first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
 Do not race the engine.
 While driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute)
between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
 Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow.
Varying engine speed is needed to
properly break-in the engine.
 Avoid hard stops, except in emergen-
cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop-
erly.
 Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time.
 Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) of operation.CAUTION
Do not let any gasoline or water
enter the tank. This would make it
necessary to drain it out and tobleed the lines to avoid jamming theinjection pump and damaging the engine.
CAUTION - Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regu- lated automotive diesel fuel for
diesel vehicle equipped with theDPF system.
If you use diesel fuel including highsulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur) andunspecified additives, it can cause
the DPF system to be damaged andwhite smoke can be emitted.
CAUTION
 Never use any fuel, whether diesel, B7 biodiesel or otherwise,that fails to meet the latest petro-leum industry specification.
 Never use any fuel additives or treatments that are not recom-mended or approved by the vehi- cle manufacturer.

Slowly pour the recommended oil little by
little into a funnel. (Oil refill capacity :
approximately 0.6 ~ 1.0 l)
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to "Recommended lubricants and capac-ities" in chapter 8.)
Do not overfill the engine oil to ensure
the oil level is not above F mark on the
dipstick.

Driving your vehicle
Use high quality ethylene glycol coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high quality
ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling
system. It is the only type of coolant that
should be used because it helps prevent
corrosion in the cooling system, lubri-
cates the water pump and prevents
freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish
your coolant in accordance with the
maintenance schedule. Before winter,
have your coolant tested to assure that
its freezing point is sufficient for the tem-
peratures anticipated during the winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the
battery system. Visually inspect the bat-
tery and cables as described in chapter
7. We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.Change to "winter weight" oil if
necessary In some climates it is recommended that
a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be
used during cold weather. See chapter 8
for recommendations. If you aren't sure
what weight oil you should use, we rec-
ommend that you consult an authorized
Kia dealer.
Check spark plugs and ignition system
Inspect your spark plugs as described in
chapter 7 and replace them if necessary.
Also check all ignition wiring and compo-
nents to be sure they are not cracked,
worn or damaged in any way.
CAUTION
 Chains that are the wrong size or
improperly installed can damage
your vehicle's brake lines, sus-pension, body and wheels.
 Stop driving and retighten the chains any time you hear them
hitting the vehicle.
WARNING - Tire chains
 The use of chains may adversely affect vehicle handling.
 Do not exceed 30 km/h (20 mph) or the chain manufacturer’s rec-
ommended speed limit, whichev-
er is lower.
 Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes, sharp turns, and other
road hazards, which may cause
the vehicle to bounce.
 Avoid sharp turns or locked- wheel braking.

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 temperature.
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.
If it is near or at L, add enough oil to bring
the level to F.Do not overfill.
Use a funnel to help prevent oil frombeing spilled on engine components.
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer to “Recommended lubricants and capac-
ities” in chapter 8.)
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 to churningeffect. It may lead to engine damage
accompanied with abrupt enginespeed increment, combustion noise and white 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. Ifyou drop the engine oil on theengine room, wipe it off immedi-
ately.

BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID
Checking the brake/clutch fluid
level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir peri-
odically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the reservoir. Before removing the reservoir cap and
adding brake/clutch fluid, clean the area
around the reservoir cap thoroughly to
prevent brake/clutch fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level. The level will fall with accumulated
mileage. This is a normal condition asso-
ciated with the wear of the brake linings.
If the fluid level is excessively low, we
recommend that the system be checked
by an authorized Kia dealer.
Use only the specified brake/clutch fluid.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricants andcapacities” in chapter 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
WARNING - Brake/clutch fluid
When changing and adding
brake/clutch fluid, handle it careful-
ly. Do not let it come in contact with
your eyes. If brake/clutch fluid
should come in contact with your
eyes, immediately flush them with a
large quantity of fresh tap water.
Have your eyes examined by a doc-
tor as soon as possible.
WARNING - Loss of
brake/clutch fluid
In the event the brake/clutch sys-
tem requires frequent additions of
fluid, we recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to contact the vehicle's body paint, aspaint damage will result.
Brake/clutch fluid, which has beenexposed to open air for an extended time should never be used as itsquality cannot be guaranteed. Itshould be disposed of properly.
Don't put in the wrong kind of fluid.A few drops of mineral-based oil, such as engine oil, in yourbrake/clutch system can damage
brake/clutch system parts.
