BRAKE FLUID
Checking the brake fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap
and adding brake fluid, clean the area
around the reservoir cap thoroughly
to prevent brake fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the
MAX level. The level will fall with
accumulated mileage. This is a nor-mal condition associated with the
wear of the brake linings. If the fluid level is excessively low, werecommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
Use only the specified brake fluid.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricantsor capacities” in section 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
WARNING - Brake fluid
When changing and adding
brake fluid, handle it carefully.Do not let it come in contact with
your eyes. If brake fluid should
come in contact with your eyes,
immediately flush them with a
large quantity of fresh tap water.
Have your eyes examined by a
doctor as soon as possible.
WARNING - Loss of brake
fluid
In the event the brake system
requires frequent additions of
fluid, we recommend that the
system be inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake fluid to con- tact the vehicle's body paint, aspaint damage will result. Brake fluid, which has been exposedto open air for an extended timeshould never be used as itsquality cannot be guaranteed. It should be disposed of properly.Don't put in the wrong kind offluid. A few drops of mineral- based oil, such as engine oil, inyour brake system can damagebrake system parts.

POWER STEERING FLUID
Checking the power steering
fluid level
With the vehicle on level ground,
check the fluid level in the power
steering reservoir periodically. The
fluid should be between MAX and
MIN marks on the side of the gauge
at the normal temperature.
Before adding power steering fluid, thoroughly clean the area around the
reservoir cap to prevent power steer-ing fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the
MAX level.
✽✽ NOTICE
Check that the fluid level is in the
"HOT" range on the gauge. If the
fluid is cold, check that it is in the
"COLD" range.
In the event the power steering system
requires frequent additions of fluid, werecommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
Use only the specified power steering fluid. (Refer to "Recommended lubri-cants or capacities" in section 8.)
Checking the power steering hose
Check the connections for oil leaks,
damage and twists in the power
steering hose before driving.
OKH073007L
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the power steering pump, do not operatethe vehicle for prolonged peri- ods with a low power steeringfluid level.
Never start the engine when the reservoir tank is empty.
When adding fluid, be careful that dirt does not get into thetank.
Too little fluid can result in increased steering effort and/ornoise from the power steeringsystem.
(Continued)
(Continued) The use of the non-specified fluid could reduce the effective-ness of the power steering sys-tem and cause damage to it.

FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bol-
ster, another is in the engine com-
partment.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, acces-
sories, or controls do not work, check
the appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse
has blown, the element inside thefuse will be melted.
If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver’s sidefuse panel.
Before replacing a blown fuse, dis-
connect the negative battery cable.
Always replace a blown fuse with
one of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and we
recommend that you consult an
authorized Kia dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
tridge type, and fusible link for higher
amperage ratings. ✽
✽
NOTICE
The actual fuse/relay panel label
may differ from equipped items.
WARNING - Fuse replace-
ment
Never replace a fuse with any- thing but another fuse of the same rating.
A higher capacity fuse could cause damage and possibly a
fire.
Never install a wire or aluminum foil instead of the proper fuse
even as a temporary repair. It
may cause extensive wiring
damage and a possible fire.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to removefuses because it may cause ashort circuit and damage the system.

1. Turn the ignition switch and allother switches off.
2. Open the fuse panel cover. 3. Pull the suspected fuse straight
out. Use the removal tool provided
in the engine compartment fusepanel.
4. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.
5. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly
in the clips.
If it fits loosely, we recommend that
you consult an authorized Kia dealer.CAUTION
When replacing a blown fuse or relay with a new one, makesure the new fuse or relay fitstightly into the clips Theincomplete fastening fuse or relay may cause the vehiclewiring and electric systemsdamage and a possible fire.
Do not remove fuses, relays and terminals fastened withbolts or nuts. The fuses, relaysand terminals may be fastenedincompletely, and it may causea possible fire. If fuses, relays and terminals fastened withbolts or nuts are blown, werecommend that you consult with an authorized Kia dealer.
Do not input any other objects except fuses or relays intofuse/relay terminals such as adriver or wiring. It may cause contact failure and systemmalfunction.

Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank are absorbed and stored in the
onboard canister. When the engine is
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in
the canister are drawn into the surgetank through the purge control sole-
noid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve
(PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is
controlled by the Engine Control
Module (ECM); when the engine
coolant temperature is low during
idling, the PCSV closes so that evapo-
rated fuel is not taken into the engine.
After the engine warms-up during ordi-
nary driving, the PCSV opens to intro-
duce evaporated fuel to the engine. 3. Exhaust emission control
system
The Exhaust Emission Control
System is a highly effective system
which controls exhaust emissions
while maintaining good vehicle per-
formance.
Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could
affect its performance, safety or
durability and may even violate gov-
ernmental safety and emissions reg-
ulations.
In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from any modifi-
cation may not be covered under
warranty.
If you use unauthorized electronic devices, it may cause the vehicle to
operate abnormally, wire damage,
battery discharge and fire. For your
safety, do not use unauthorized
electronic devices.
Engine exhaust gas precautions
(carbon monoxide)
Carbon monoxide can be present with other exhaust fumes. Therefore,
if you smell exhaust fumes of any
kind inside your vehicle, have it
inspected and repaired immediately.
If you ever suspect exhaust fumes
are coming into your vehicle, drive it
only with all the windows fully open.
Have your vehicle checked and
repaired immediately.
WARNING - Exhaust
Engine exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide (CO). Though
colorless and odorless, it is
dangerous and could be lethal if
inhaled. Follow the instructions
on this page to avoid CO poi-soning.

Recommended SAE viscosity
number Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has
an effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and
engine oil flowability). Lower viscosi-
ty engine oils can provide better fuel
economy and cold weather perform-
ance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfac-
tory lubrication in hot weather.Using oils of any viscosity other thanthose recommended could result in
engine damage. When choosing an oil, consider the
range of temperature your vehicle will
be operated in before the next oil
change. Proceed to select the recom-
mended oil viscosity from the chart.
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain
plug, or dipstick before check-
ing or draining any lubricant.
This is especially important in
dusty or sandy areas and when
the vehicle is used on unpaved
roads. Cleaning the plug and
dipstick areas will prevent dirt
and grit from entering the
engine and other mechanisms
that could be damaged.
