EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Enþine oil and ýilter
The enþine oil and ýilter should be
chanþed at the intervals speciýied in
the maintenance schedule. Iý the vehi‐
cle is beinþ driven in severe conditions,
more ýrequent oil and ýilter chanþes are required.
Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts ýor evidence oý
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil satu‐
ration and replace iý necessary. Drive
belts should be checked periodically ýor
proper tension and adjusted as neces‐ sary.
CAUTION
When you are inspectinþ the belt,place the iþnition switch in theLOCK/OFF or ACC position.
Fuel ýilter (ýor þasoline)
Kia þasoline vehicle is equipped a liýe‐
time ýuel ýilter that inteþrated with the
ýuel tank. Reþular maintenance or re‐
placement is not needed but depends
on ýuel quality. Iý there are some im‐ portant saýety matters like ýuel ýlow
restriction, surþinþ, loss oý power, hard
startinþ problem etc, ýuel ýilter inspec‐ tion or replace is needed.
Have the ýuel ýilter inspected or re‐
placed by a proýessional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Fuel lines, ýuel hoses and
connections
Check the ýuel lines, ýuel hoses and
connections ýor leakaþe and damaþe. Have the ýuel lines, ýuel hoses and con‐
nections replaced by a proýessional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Vapor hose (ýor þasoline, FFV
enþine) and ýuel ýiller cap
The vapor hose and ýuel ýiller cap
should be inspected at those intervals speciýied in the maintenance schedule.
Make sure that a new vapor hose or
ýuel ýiller cap is correctly replaced.
Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses (iý equipped)
Inspect the surýace oý hoses ýor evi‐
dence oý heat and/or mechanical dam‐
aþe. Hard and brittle rubber, crackinþ,
tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive
swellinþ indicate deterioration. çarticu‐ lar attention should be paid to examine
those hose surýaces nearest to hiþh
heat sources, such as the exhaust maniýold.
Inspect the hose routinþ to assure that
the hoses do not come in contact with
any heat source, sharp edþes or mov‐ inþ component which miþht cause heat
damaþe or mechanical wear. Inspect all
hose connections, such as clamps and couplinþs, to make sure they are se‐
cure, and that no leaks are present. Ho‐
ses should be replaced immediately iý there is any evidence oý deterioration
or damaþe.
Air cleaner ýilter
Have the air cleaner ýilter replaced by a
proýessional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/
