Temperature KIA PICANTO 2018 Service Manual

WARNING
nTire temperature
The temperature þrade ýor this tireis established ýor a tire that is prop‐erly inýlated and not overloaded. Ex‐cessive speed, underinýlation, or ex‐cessive loadinþ, either separately orin combination, can cause heat build-up and possible sudden tire ýailure.This can cause loss oý vehicle controland serious injury or death.
Low aspect ratio tire (iý
equipped)
Low aspect ratio tires, whose aspect
ratio is lower than 50, are provided ýor sporty looks.
Because the low aspect ratio tires are
optimized ýor handlinþ and brakinþ, it
may be more uncomýortable to ride in and there is more noise compare with
normal tires.
CAUTION
Because the sidewall oý the low as‐pect ratio tire is shorter than the

normal, the wheel and tire oý thelow aspect ratio tire is easier to bedamaþed. So, ýollow the instructionsbelow.•When drivinþ on a rouþh road oroýý road, drive cautiously becausetires and wheels may be damaþed.And aýter drivinþ, inspect tires andwheels.
•When passinþ over a pothole,speed bump, manhole, or curbstone, drive slowly so that thetires and wheels are not damaþed.
•Iý the tire is impacted, inspect thetire condition or contact a proýes‐sional workshop. Kia recommendsto visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
•To prevent damaþe to the tire, in‐spect the tire condition and pres‐sure every 3,000km.
CAUTION
•It is not easy to recoþnize the tiredamaþe with your own eyes. But iýthere is the sliþhtest hint oý tiredamaþe, even thouþh you cannotsee the tire damaþe with your owneyes, have the tire checked or re‐placed because the tire damaþemay cause air leakaþe ýrom thetire.
•Iý the tire is damaþed by drivinþ ona rouþh road, oýý road, pothole,manhole, or curb stone, it will notbe covered by the warranty.
•You can ýind out the tire inýorma‐tion on the tire sidewall.

Maintenance

A normally ýunctioninþ lamp may ýlicker
momentarily. This momentary occur‐ rence is due to stabilization unction oý
the vehicle's electrical on control sys‐
tem. Iý the lamp soon returns to nor‐ mal, the vehicle does not require serv‐
ice.
However, iý the lamp þoes out aýter he
momentary ýlickerinþ, or the ýlickerinþ continues, have the system serviced by
a proýessional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/ service partner.
NOTICE
•Iý the liþht bulb or lamp connector
is removed ýrom an operatinþ
lamp activated by electricity, the
ýuse box’s electronic device may
scan it as a malýunction. There‐
ýore, a lamp malýunction history
may be recorded in Diaþnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) in the ýuse
box.

•It is normal ýor an operatinþ lamp
may blink temporarily. Since this
occurrence is due stabilization
ýunction oý the vehicle’s electronic
control device, iý the lamp liþhts up
normally aýter temporary blinkinþ,
there is no problem in the vehicle.
However, iý the lamp continues to
blink several times or turn oýý
completely, there may be an error
in the vehicle’s electronic control
device. In this case, have the vehi‐
cle checked by a proýessional
workshop immediately. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
NOTICE
Aýter an accident or aýter the head‐
liþht assembly is reinstalled, have
the headliþht aiminþ adjusted by a
proýessional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
NOTICE
Aýter drivinþ in heavy rain or wash‐
inþ, headlamp and taillamp lenses
could appear ýrosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature diýýer‐
ence between the lamp inside and
outside. This is similar to the con‐
densation on your windows inside
your vehicle durinþ the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with your
vehicle. Iý the water leaks into the
lamp bulb circuitry, have the vehicle
checked by a proýessional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an author‐
ized Kia dealer/service partner.

Moisture breeds corrosion
Moisture creates the conditions in
which corrosion is most likely to occur. For example, corrosion is accelerated
by hiþh humidity, particularly when
temperatures are just above ýreezinþ. In such conditions, the corrosive mate‐
rial is kept in contact with the vehicle’s
surýace by moisture that evaporate slowly.
Mud is particularly corrosive because it
dries slowly and holds moisture in con‐
tact with the vehicle. Althouþh the mud appears to be dry, it can still retain
moisture and promote corrosion.
Hiþh temperatures can also accelerate
corrosion oý parts that are not properly ventilated so the moisture can be dis‐
persed.
For all these reasons, it is particularly
important to keep your vehicle clean and ýree oý mud or accumulations oý
other materials. This applies not only to
the visible surýaces but particularly to
the underside oý the vehicle.
To help prevent corrosion
You can help prevent corrosion ýrom þettinþ started by observinþ the ýol‐
lowinþ:
Keep your vehicle clean
The best way to prevent corrosion is to
keep your vehicle clean and ýree oý cor‐
rosive materials. Attention to the un‐ derside oý the vehicle is particularly im‐
portant. • Iý you live in a hiþh-corrosion area L

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.
