assistance. If coolant is not boiling
out, allow the engine to idle and open
the hood to permit the engine to cool
gradually. If the temperature does not
go down with the engine idling, stop
the engine and allow sufficient time
for it to cool.
4. The coolant level should then be
checked. If the level in the reservoir
is low, look for leaks at the radiator
hoses and connections, heater hoses
and connections, radiator, and water
pump. If you find a major leak or
another problem that may have
caused the engine to overheat, do not
operate the engine until the problem
has been corrected. Call an
Authorized Kia Dealer for assistance.
If you do not find a leak or other
problem, carefully add coolant to the
reservoir.If the engine frequently overheats, have
the cooling system checked and repaired.
EMERGENCY STARTINGJUMP STARTINGJump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid harm to
yourself or damage to your vehicle or
battery, follow the jump starting
procedures on the next page. If in doubt,
we strongly recommend that you have a
competent technician or towing service
jump start your vehicle.

WARNING - Removing
Radiator Cap
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine and radiator
are hot. Scalding hot coolant
and steam may blow out under
pressure. This could cause
serious injury.
✻
NOTICE
Use only a 12volt jumper system.
You can damage a 12volt starting
motor, ignition system, and other
electrical parts by using a 24-volt
power supply (two 12-volt batteries
in series or a 24-volt motor
generator set).

Check the condition and connections of
all cooling system hoses and heater
hoses. Replace any swollen or
deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be full in the
radiator and between F (Full) and L
(Low) on the coolant reservoir tank
when the engine is cool.If the coolant level is low, add enough
specified coolant to provide protection
against freezing and corrosion and to
bring the level to F in the coolant
reservoir. Do not overfill. If frequent
additions are required, see an Authorized
Kia Dealer for a cooling system
inspection.
CHANGING COOLANTChange coolant according to the
Scheduled Maintenance.
• Use only soft (de-mineralized) water
in the coolant mixture.
• The engine in your vehicle has
aluminum engine parts and must be
protected by an ethylene glycol-
based coolant to prevent corrosion
and freezing.
• DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol
coolant and do not mix them with the
specified coolant.•Do not use a solution that contains
more than 60% coolant or less than
35% coolaut, which would reduce
the effectiveness of the solution.
For mixture percen-tages, refer to the
following table.
1. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise
and remove it.
2. Loosen the radiator drain plug and
drain the coolant into a suitable
container.
