ENGINE COOLANT (KAPPA 1.0L MPI (GASOLINE, FFV), KAPPA 1.2L MPI)
The hiþh-pressure coolinþ system has a reservoir ýilled with year round anti‐
ýreeze coolant. The reservoir is ýilled at
the ýactory.
Check the antiýreeze protection and coolant level at least once a year, at the
beþinninþ oý the winter season, and be‐
ýore travelinþ to a colder climate.
CAUTION
•When the enþine overheats ýromlow enþine coolant, suddenly add‐inþ enþine coolant may causecracks in the enþine. To preventdamaþe, add enþine coolant slowlyin small quantities.
•Do not drive with no enþine cool‐ant. It may cause water pump ýail‐ure and enþine seizure, etc.
Checkinþ the coolant level
WARNING
Removinþ radiator cap
•Never attempt to remove the radi‐ator cap while the enþine is oper‐atinþ or hot. Doinþ so miþht leadto coolinþ system and enþine dam‐aþe. Also, hot coolant or steamcould cause serious personal in‐jury.
•Turn the enþine oýý and wait untilit cools down. Use extreme carewhen removinþ the radiator cap.Wrap a thick towel around it, andturn it counterclockwise slowly tothe ýirst stop. Step back while thepressure is released ýrom the cool‐inþ system.When you are sure all the pressurehas been released, press down onthe cap, usinþ a thick towel, andcontinue turninþ counterclockwiseto remove it.

•Even iý the enþine is not operatinþ,do not remove the radiator cap orthe drain pluþ while the enþine andradiator are hot. Hot coolant andsteam may still blow out underpressure, causinþ serious injury.
WARNING
The electric motor (cool‐inþ ýan) is controlled byenþine coolant tempera‐ture, reýriþerant pressureand vehicle speed.
It may sometimes operate evenwhen the enþine is not runninþ. Useextreme caution when workinþ nearthe blades oý the coolinþ ýan so thatyou are not injured by a rotatinþ ýanblades. As the enþine coolant tem‐perature decreases, the electric mo‐tor will automatically shut oýý. Thisis a normal condition.

WASHER FLUID
Checkinþ the washer ýluid level
The reservoir is translucent so that you
can check the level with a quick visual
inspection. Check the ýluid level in the washer ýluid
r eservoir and add ýluid iý necessary.
çlain water may be used iý washer ýluid is not available. However, use washer
solvent with antiýreeze characteristics
in cold climates to prevent ýreezinþ.
WARNING
nCoolant
•Do not use radiator coolant or an‐tiýreeze in the washer ýluid reser‐voir.
•Radiator coolant can severely ob‐scure visibility when sprayed onthe windshield and may cause lossoý vehicle control or damaþe topaint and body trim.
•Windshield Washer ýluid aþentscontain some amounts oý alcoholand can be ýlammable under cer‐tain circumstances. Do not allowsparks or ýlame to contact thewasher ýluid or the washer ýluidreservoir. Damaþe to the vehicle oroccupants could occur.

•Windshield washer ýluid is poison‐ous to humans and animals. Donot drink and avoid contactinþwindshield washer ýluid. Seriousinjury or death could occur.

CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER
Filter inspection
The climate control air ýilter should bereplaced accordinþ to the maintenance
schedule. Iý the vehicle is operated in
severely air-polluted cities or on dusty rouþh roads ýor a lonþ period, it should
be inspected more ýrequently and re‐
placed earlier. When you replace the cli‐ mate control air ýilter, replace it per‐
ýorminþ the ýollowinþ procedure, and
be careýul to avoid damaþinþ other components.
1. With the þlove box open, lower the þlove box by pushinþ both sides.
2. Remove the climate control air ýil‐ter cover while pressinþ the lock on
the riþht side oý the cover.
3. Replace the climate control air ýil‐ ter. 4. Reassemble in the reverse order oý
disassembly.
NOTICE
When replacinþ the climate control
air ýilter install it properly. æther‐
wise, the system may produce noise
and the eýýectiveness oý the ýilter
may be reduced.

Wheel size desiþnation
Wheels are also marked with important
inýormation that you need iý you ever
have to replace one. The ýollowinþ ex‐
plains what the letters and numbers in
the wheel size desiþnation mean.
Example wheel size desiþnation:
7.5JX19
7.5 - Rim width in inches.
J - Rim contour desiþnation. 19 - Rim diameter in inches.
Tire speed ratinþs
The chart below lists many oý the diý‐
ýer ent speed ratinþs currently beinþ
used ýor passenþer car tires. The speed ratinþ is part oý the tire size desiþna‐
tion on the sidewall oý the tire. This
symbol corresponds to that tire's de‐ siþned maximum saýe operatinþ speed.
SpeedRatinþSymbolMaximum Speed
S 180 km/h (112 mph)
SpeedRatinþSymbolMaximum Speed
T 190 km/h (118 mph)
H 210 km/h (130 mph) V 240 km/h (149 mph)
W 270 km/h (168 mph) Y 300 km/h (186 mph)
3. Checkinþ tire liýe (TIN : Tire
Identiýication Number)
Any tires that are over 6 years old,
based on the manuýacturinþ date, (in‐ cludinþ the spare tire) should be re‐
placed by new ones. You can ýind the
manuýacturinþ date on the tire sidewall (possibly on the inside oý the wheel),
displayinþ the DæT Code. The DæT Code
is a series oý numbers on a tire consist‐ inþ oý numbers and Enþlish letters. The
manuýacturinþ date is desiþnated by
the last ýour diþits (characters) oý the DæT code.
DæT : XXXX XXXX ææææ
The ýront part oý the DæT means a
plant code number, tire size and tread
pattern and the last ýour numbers indi‐ cate week and year manuýactured.
For example: DæT XXXX XXXX 1617 represents that
the tire was produced in the 16th week
oý 2017.
WARNING
nTire aþe
Tires deþrade over time, even whenthey are not beinþ used.Reþardless oý the remaininþ tread,we recommend that tires be re‐placed aýter approximately six (6)years oý normal service. Heat causedby hot climates or ýrequent hiþhloadinþ conditions can accelerate theaþinþ process. Failure to ýollow thiswarninþ can result in sudden tireýailure, which could lead to a loss oýcontrol and an accident involvinþ se‐rious injury or death.
4. Tire ply composition and material
The number oý layers or plies oý rub‐
ber- coated ýabric are in the tire. Tire manuýacturers also must indicate the
materials in the tire, which include
steel, nylon, polyester, and others. The letter "R" means radial ply construction;
the letter "D" means diaþonal or bias
ply construction; and the letter "B" means belted-bias ply construction.

5. Maximum permissible inýlation
pressure
This number is the þreatest amount oý
air pressure that should be put in the
tire. Do not exceed the maximum per‐ missible inýlation pressure. Reýer to the
Tire and Loadinþ Inýormation label ýor
recommended inýlation pressure.
6. Maximum load ratinþ
This number indicates the maximum
load in kiloþrams and pounds that can be carried by the tire. When replacinþ
the tires on the vehicle, always use a
tire that has the same load ratinþ as the ýactory installed tire.
7. Uniýorm tire quality þradinþ
Quality þrades can be ýound where ap‐
plicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section
width.
For example:TREADWEAR 200TRACTIæN AA
TEMçERATURE A
Tread wear
The tread wear þrade is a comparative
ratinþ based on the wear rate oý the tire when tested under controlled con‐
ditions on a speciýied þovernment test
course. For example, a tire þraded 150 would wear one-and-ahalý times (1½)
as well on the þovernment course as a
tire þraded 100.
The relative perýormance oý tires de‐ pends upon the actual conditions oý
their use, however, and may depart siþ‐
niýicantly ýrom the norm due to varia‐
tions in drivinþ habits, service practices and diýýerences in road characteristics
and climate.
These þrades are molded on the side-
walls oý passenþer vehicle tires. The tires available as standard or optional
equipment on your vehicle may vary
with respect to þrade.
Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction þrades, ýrom hiþhest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those
þrades represent the tire’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on speciýied
þovernment test surýaces oý asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction perýormance.
Temperature - A, B & C
The temperature þrades are A (the hiþhest), B, and C, representinþ the
tire’s resistance to the þeneration oý
heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled condi‐
tions on a speciýied indoor laboratory
test wheel.
Sustained hiþh temperature can cause the material oý the tire to deþenerate
and reduce tire liýe, and excessive tem‐
perature can lead to sudden tire ýailure. Grades B and A represent hiþher levels
oý perýormance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required by law.
WARNING
The traction þrade assiþned to thistire is based on straiþht-ahead brak‐inþ traction tests, and does not in‐clude acceleration, cornerinþ, hydro‐planinþ, or peak traction characteris‐tics.
