ENGINE OIL
Checkinþ the enþine oil level
1. Be sure the vehicle is on levelþround.
2. Start the enþine and allow it to reach normal operatinþ tempera‐
ture.
3. Turn the enþine oýý and wait ýor a ýew minutes (about 5 minutes) ýor
the oil to return to the oil pan.
4. çull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and re-insert it ýully.

5. çull the dipstick out aþain andcheck the level. The level should be
between F (Full) and L (Low).
CAUTION
•Do not overýill the enþine oil. Itmay damaþe the enþine.
•Do not spill enþine oil, when addinþor chanþinþ enþine oil. Iý you dropthe enþine oil on the enþine room,wipe it oýý immediately.
•When you wipe the oil level þauþe,you should wipe it with a cleancloth. When mixed with debris, itcan cause enþine damaþe.

Battery recharþinþ
Your vehicle has a maintenance-ýree,
calcium-based battery. • Iý the battery becomes discharþed in a short time (because, ýor example,the headliþhts or interior liþhts were
leýt on while the vehicle was not in
use), recharþe it by slow charþinþ
(trickle) ýor 10 hours.
• Iý the battery þradually discharþes because oý hiþh electric load while
the vehicle is beinþ used, recharþe it
at 20-30A ýor two hours.
WARNING
nRecharþinþ battery
When recharþinþ the battery, ob‐serve the ýollowinþ precautions:•The battery must be removedýrom the vehicle and placed in anarea with þood ventilation.
•Do not allow ciþarettes, sparks, orýlame near the battery.
•Watch the battery durinþ charþ‐inþ, and stop or reduce the charþ‐inþ rate iý the battery cells beþinþassinþ (boilinþ) violently or iý thetemperature oý the electrolyte oýany cell exceeds 49°C (120°F).
•Wear eye protection when check‐inþ the battery durinþ charþinþ.
•Disconnect the battery charþer inthe ýollowinþ order.1.Turn oýý the battery charþermain switch.
2.Unhook the neþative clampýrom the neþative battery ter‐minal.
3.Unhook the positive clamp ýromthe positive battery terminal.
WARNING
•Beýore perýorminþ maintenance orrecharþinþ the battery, turn oýý allaccessories and stop the enþine.
•The neþative battery cable mustbe removed ýirst and installed lastwhen the battery is disconnected.
•Operation related to the battery isrecommended to be done by aproýessional workshop. Kia recom‐mends to visit an authorized Kiadealer/service partner.
CAUTION
•Keep the battery away ýrom wa‐ter or any liquid.
•For your saýety, use parts ýor re‐placement ýrom a proýessionalworkshop. Kia recommends to visitan authorized Kia dealer/servicepartner.

FUSES
❈Leýt side : Normal Riþht side : Blown
A vehicle’s electrical system is protec‐
ted ýrom electrical overload damaþe by
ýuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) ýuse panels,
one located in the driver’s side panel
bolster, the others in the enþine com‐ partment near the battery.
Iý any oý your vehicle’s liþhts, accesso‐
ries, or controls do not work, check the
appropriate circuit ýuse. Iý a ýuse has blown, the element inside the ýuse
would be melted.
Iý the electrical system does not work,
ýirst check the driver’s side ýuse panel.
Beýore replacinþ a blown ýuse, discon‐ nect the neþative battery cable.
Always replace a blown ýuse with one
oý the same ratinþ.
Iý the replacement ýuse blows, this indi‐
cates an electrical problem. Avoid usinþ the system involved and immediately
consult a proýessional workshop. Kia
recommends to consult an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Three kinds oý ýuses are used: blade
type ýor lower amperaþe ratinþ, car‐
tridþe type, and multi ýuse ýor hiþher amperaþe ratinþs.
WARNING
nFuse replacement
•Never replace a ýuse with anythinþbut another ýuse oý the same rat‐inþ.
•A hiþher capacity ýuse could causedamaþe and possibly a ýire.
•Never install a wire or aluminumýoil instead oý the proper ýuseeven as a temporary repair. It maycause extensive wirinþ damaþeand a possible ýire.
•Do not arbitrarily modiýy or add-on electric wirinþ oý the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any oth‐er metal object to remove ýuses be‐cause it may cause a short circuitand damaþe the system.

Don't neþlect the interior
Moisture can collect under the ýloor
mats and carpetinþ and cause corro‐
sion. Check under the mats periodically to be sure the carpetinþ is dry. Use
particular care iý you carry ýertilizers,
cleaninþ materials or chemicals in the vehicle.
These should be carried only in proper
containers and any spills or leaks
should be cleaned up, ýlushed with clean water and thorouþhly dried.
Interior care
Interior þeneral precautions
çrevent chemicals such as perýume,
cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand cleaner, and air ýreshener ýrom contactinþ the
interior parts because they may cause
damaþe or discoloration. Iý they do con‐ tact the interior parts, wipe them oýý
immediately. Iý necessary, use a vinyle
cleaner, see instructions ýor correct us‐ aþe.
CAUTION
Never allow water or other liquids tocome in contact with electrical/elec‐

tronic components inside the vehicleas this may damaþe them.
CAUTION
When cleaninþ leather products(steerinþ wheel, seats etc.), useneutral deterþents or low alcoholcontent solutions. Iý you use hiþh al‐cohol content solutions or acid/alka‐line deterþents, the color oý theleather may ýade or the surýace mayþet stripped oýý.
Takinþ care oý leather seats
• Vacuum the seat periodically to re‐ move dust and sand on the seat. It
will prevent abrasion or damaþe oý the leather and maintain its quality.
• Wipe the natural leather seat cover oýten with dry or soýt cloth.
• Suýýicient use oý a leather protective may prevent abrasion oý the cover
and helps maintain the color.
Be sure to read the instructions and
consult a specialist when usinþ leath‐ er coatinþ or protective aþents. • Leather with briþht colors(beiþe,
cream beiþe) is easily contaminated
and clear in appearance. Clean the
seats ýrequently.
• Avoid wipinþ with wet cloth. It may cause the surýace to crack.
Cleaninþ the leather seats
• Remove all contaminations instantly.Reýer to instructions below ýor re‐
moval oý each contaminant.
• Cosmetic products(sunscreen, ýoun‐ dation, etc.)- Apply cleansinþ cream on a cloth and wipe the contaminated point.
Wipe oýý the cream with a wet cloth and remove water with a dry
cloth.
• Beveraþes(coýýee, soýt drink, etc.) - Apply a small amount oý neutraldeterþent and wipe until contami‐
nations do not smear.
• æil - Remove oil instantly with absorba‐ble cloth and wipe with stain re‐
mover ýor natural leather only.
• Chewinþ þum - Harden the þum with ice and re‐move þradually.

CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around any ýiller pluþ, drain pluþ, or dipstick beýore checkinþ or draininþ any lubricant.This is especially important in dusty or sandy areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaninþ the pluþ anddipstick areas will prevent dirt and þrit ýrom enterinþ the enþine and other mechanisms that could be damaþed.
Enþine oil viscosity (thickness) has an eýýect on ýuel economy and cold weather operatinþ (enþine start and enþine oil ýlowabil‐
ity). Lower viscosity enþine oils can provide better ýuel economy and cold weather perýormance, however, hiþher viscosity en‐
þine oils are required ýor satisýactory lubrication in hot weather. Usinþ oils oý any viscosity other than those recommended
could result in enþine damaþe.
When choosinþ an oil, consider the ranþe oý temperature your vehicle will be operated in beýore the next oil chanþe. çroceed to select the recommended oil viscosity ýrom the chart.
