POWER STEERING FLUID
Checking the power steering
fluid level
With the vehicle on level ground,
check the fluid level in the power
steering reservoir periodically. The
fluid should be between MAX and
MIN marks on the side of the gauge
at the normal temperature.
Before adding power steering fluid,
thoroughly clean the area around the
reservoir cap to prevent power steer-
ing fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the
MAX level.In the event the power steering sys-
tem requires frequent addition of fluid,
the vehicle should be inspected by an
authorized Kia Premium dealer.
Too little fluid can result in increased
steering effort and/or noise from the
power steering system.
✽
NOTICE
Check that the fluid level is in the
"HOT" range on the gauge. If the
fluid is cold, check that it is in the
"COLD" range.
Use only the specified power steer-
ing fluid. (Refer to "Recommendedlubricants or capacities" in section8.)
Checking the power steering
hose
Check the connections for oil leaks,
damage and twists in the power
steering hose before driving.
Low power steering fluid
To avoid damage to the power steering pump, do not operate
the vehicle for prolonged peri-
ods with a low power steering
fluid level.
Never start the engine when the reservoir tank is empty.
When adding fluid, be careful that dirt does not get into the
tank.
The use of the non-specified fluid could reduce the effective-
ness of the power steering sys-
tem and cause damage to it.
