Glow indicator (Diesel engine)
The indicator illuminates when the igni-
tion switch is placed at the ON position.
The engine can be started after the pre-
heat indicator goes off. The illuminating
time varies with the water temperature,
air temperature and battery condition.
✽✽ NOTICE
If the engine does not start within 10
seconds after the preheating is complet-
ed, turn the ignition switch once more to
the LOCK position for 10 seconds, and
then to the ON position, in order to pre-
heat again.
D150329AHM
Fuel filter warning light (Diesel engine)
This warning light illuminates for 3 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is set to the
ON position and then it will go out. If it
lights up while the engine is running, it
indicates that water has accumulated
inside the fuel filter. If this happens,
remove the water from the fuel filter. For
more information, refer to “Fuel filter” insection 7. D150330AHM
Overspeed warning light
(if equipped)
Overspeed warning light
If you drive with the speed of 120 km/h or
more, the overspeed warning light will
blink. This is to prevent you from over-speeding.
Overspeed warning chime
If you drive with the speed of 120 km/h or
more, the overspeed warning chime will
sound until the vehicle speed under
120km/h. This is to prevent you from
overspeeding.
120km/h
CAUTION
When the fuel filter warning light
illuminates, engine power (vehiclespeed & idle speed) may decrease.If you keep driving with the warninglight on, you can damage your vehi-cle's engine parts and injection sys-
tem of the Common Rail. If thisoccurs, have your vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer as soonas possible.
CAUTION
If the preheat indicator continues toilluminate or blink on and off afterthe engine has warmed up or whiledriving, check the system by an

Maintenance
EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
G050100AHM Engine oil and filter The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in the
maintenance schedule. If the vehicle is
being driven in severe conditions, morefrequent oil and filter changes arerequired.
G050200BUN Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil satu-
ration and replace if necessary. Drive
belts should be checked periodically forproper tension and adjusted as neces-
sary. G050300AUN
Fuel filter (cartridge) 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 exces-
sive amount of foreign matter accumu-
lates 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. Fuel filters should be
installed by an authorized Kia dealer.
G050400AHM
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con- nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-
nections for leakage and damage. Have
an authorized Kia dealer replace any
damaged or leaking parts immediately.
WARNING -
Diesel only
Never work on the injection system with the engine running or within30 seconds after shutting off the
engine. High pressure pump, rail,
injectors and high pressure pipes
are subject to high pressure even
after the engine stopps. The fuel jet
produced by fuel leaks may cause
serious injury, if it touches the
body. People using pacemakers
should not more move than 30cm
closer to the ECU or wiring harness
within the engine room while the
engine is running, since the highcurrents in the Common Rail sys-
tem produce considerable magnet-ic fields.
CAUTION
When you are inspecting the belt, place the ignition switch in theLOCK/OFF or ACC position.

G050600AUN
Vapor hose and fuel filler cap
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should
be inspected at those intervals specified
in the maintenance schedule. Make sure
that a new vapor hose or fuel filler cap iscorrectly replaced.
G050700AUN
Vacuum crankcase ventilation hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for evidence
of heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard
and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts,
abrasions, and excessive swelling indi-
cate deterioration. Particular attention
should be paid to examine those hose
surfaces nearest to high heat sources,
such as the exhaust manifold. Inspect the hose routing to assure that the hoses do not come in contact with
any heat source, sharp edges or movingcomponent which might cause heat dam-
age or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose
connections, such as clamps and cou-
plings, to make sure they are secure, and
that no leaks are present. Hoses should
be replaced immediately if there is any
evidence of deterioration or damage. G050800AUN
Air cleaner filter
A Genuine Kia air cleaner filter is recom- mended when the filter is replaced.
G050900BUN
Spark plugs (for gasoline engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs of
the correct heat range. G051000AHM
Valve clearance
(for 3.8L gasoline engine)
Inspect for excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if necessary.
An authorized Kia dealer should perform
the operation. G051100AHM Cooling system
Check the cooling system components,
such as the radiator, coolant reservoir,
hoses and connections for leakage and
damage. Replace any damaged parts.G051200AUN Coolant The coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule.
Automatic transmission fluid (if equipped)
Automatic transmission fluid should not be
checked under normal usage conditions.
But in severe conditions, the fluid should
be changed at an authorized Kia dealerin accordance to the scheduled mainte-
nance at the beginning of this chapter.
✽✽
NOTICE
Automatic transmission fluid color is
basically red.
As the vehicle is driven, the automatic
transmission fluid will begin to look
darker.
It is normal condition and you should
not judge the need to replace the fluid
based upon the changed color.
WARNING
Do not disconnect and inspect spark plugs when the engine is hot.
You may burn yourself.

FUEL FILTER (FOR DIESEL)
G150100AHM
Draining water from the fuel filter
The fuel filter for diesel engine plays an
important role of separating water from
fuel and accumulating the water in itsbottom.
If water accumulates in the fuel filter, the
warning light comes on when the ignition
switch is in the ON position. Place a water trap under the fuel filter.
Loosen the drain plug and drain water.
After water is drained, securely tighten
the drain plug.
After starting the engine, check to make certain the fuel filter warning
light is off.
G150200AUN
Fuel filter cartridge replacement
✽✽NOTICE
When replacing the fuel filter cartridge,
use Kia genuine parts.
OHM078008CAUTION
If the water accumulated in the fuel filter is not drained at proper times,damages to the major parts such as
the fuel system can be caused bywater permeation in the fuel filter.
