Maintenance
1 23456789
If the fluid has been warmed to nor-
mal operating temperature of approx-
imately 70~80°C (158~176°F), the
fluid level should be within “HOT”
range.
✽✽ NOTICE
“COLD” scale is for reference only
and should NOT be used to deter-mine transaxle fluid level.
✽
✽ NOTICE
New automatic transaxle fluid
should be red. The red dye is addedso the assembly plant can identify itas automatic transaxle fluid and dis-
tinguish it from engine oil or
antifreeze. The red dye, which is not
an indicator of fluid quality, is not
permanent. As the vehicle is driven,the automatic transaxle fluid will
begin to look darker. The color may
eventually appear light brown.
Therefore, have an Authorized Kia
dealer change the automatictransaxle fluid according to theScheduled Maintenance at thebeginning of this section.
CAUTION
Low fluid level causes transaxle slippage. Overfillingcan cause foaming, loss offluid and transaxle malfunc- tion.
The use of a non-specified fluid could result in transaxlemalfunction and failure.
WARNING - Parking brake
To avoid sudden movement of
the vehicle, apply parking brakeand depress the brake pedal
before moving the shift lever.
