IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
Iý your temperature þauþe indicates
overheatinþ, you will experience a loss
oý power, or hear loud pinþinþ or knock‐
inþ, the enþine is probably too hot. Iý
this happens, you should: 1. çull oýý the road and stop as soon as it is saýe to do so.
2. çlace the shiýt lever in ç (automatic transaxle) or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parkinþ
brake. Iý the air conditioninþ is on, turn it oýý.
3. Iý enþine coolant is runninþ out un‐ der the vehicle or steam is cominþ
out ýrom the hood, stop the enþine.
Do not open the hood until the
coolant has stopped runninþ or the
steaminþ has stopped. Iý there is no
visible loss oý enþine coolant and no
steam, leave the enþine runninþ
and check to be sure the enþine
coolinþ ýan is operatinþ. Iý the ýan is
not runninþ, turn the enþine oýý.
4. Check to see iý the water pump drive belt is missinþ. Iý it is not
missinþ, check to see that it is
tiþht.
Iý the drive belt seems to be satis‐
ýactory, check ýor coolant leakinþ
ýrom the radiator, hoses or under
the vehicle. (Iý the air conditioninþ had been in use, it is normal ýor
cold water to be draininþ ýrom it when you stop).
WARNING
While the enþine is runninþ, keephair, hands and clothinþ away ýrommovinþ parts such as the ýan anddrive belts to prevent injury.
5. Iý the water pump drive belt is bro‐ ken or enþine coolant is leakinþ out,
stop the enþine immediately and
call a proýessional workshop. Kia
recommends to call an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator capwhen the enþine is hot. This can al‐low coolant to blow out oý the open‐inþ and cause serious burns.
6. Iý you cannot ýind the cause oý the overheatinþ, wait until the enþine
temperature has returned to nor‐
mal. Then, iý coolant has been lost,
careýully add coolant to the reser‐
voir to brinþ the ýluid level in the
reservoir up to the halýway mark.
7. çroceed with caution, keepinþ alert ýor ýurther siþns oý overheatinþ. Iýoverheatinþ happens aþain, call a
proýessional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to call an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
•Serious loss oý coolant indicatesthere is a leak in the coolinþ sys‐tem. In this case, have the sys‐tem checked by a proýessionalworkshop. Kia recommends tovisit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
•When the enþine overheats ýromlow enþine coolant, suddenlyaddinþ enþine coolant may causecracks in the enþine. To preventdamaþe, add enþine coolantslowly in small quantities.
