6-13 Memory Fuse (If Equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a “Memory Fuse” to
prevent battery discharge if the vehicle is parked for
prolonged periods without being operated. Use the
following procedures before parking the vehicle for a
prolonged period.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and tail lights.
3. Open the main fuse box cover in the engine compartment
and pull up the “ROOM FUSE 15A” using the fuse
puller; push the fuse to the side. This will change the
MEMORY FUSE mode to prevent battery discharge.

•If the memory fuse is pulled up from the fuse
box housing, the radio and dome light will not
operate. After reinstalling the “Memory Fuse”,
the radio “anti-theft”code (Optional) must be
entered again and the preset radio stations
must be reselected.
Even though the memory fuse is pulled up, the
battery can still be discharged by operation of
the headlights or other electrical devices.

Changing the Engine Oil and FilterChange engine oil and filter according to the
Scheduled Maintenance earlier in this section.
1. Warm the engine up for a few minutes and then
turn it off. Remove the oil filler cap.
2. Drain the oil into a suitable container after
removing the oil filler cap and drain plug.
3. Remove the engine oil filter with an oil filter
wrench.4. Use a clean rag to clean the oil filter mounting
surface on the engine.
5. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the new oil
filter O-ring seal.
6. Install the oil filter and tighten it. (Refer to
the oil filter caution label for tightening
instructions.)
7. Replace the drain plug tightly after the oil has
thoroughly drained.
8. Refill the engine with new oil to the F mark on the
dipstick. Do not overfill.
7-15
WARNING - Engine Oil
 Continuous contact with USED engine oil
has caused skin cancer in laboratory mice.
Protect your skin by washing with soap and
water.
 Keep all engine oil out of the reach of
children.
CAUTION
Both the oil and engine are hot. Do not burn
yourself.
✻ ✻
NOTICE
When installing the replacement oil filter, do not
allow the oil filter gasket to remain on the oil
filter mounting surface. This will cause oil
leakage and engine damage. Remove the old
gasket completely so that a new gasket will
properly seat and seal.
RIO ENG CNA 7-1.qxd 7/29/05 5:16 PM Page 15

9. Re-install the oil filler cap securely.
10. Start the engine and inspect around the oil filter
seal for leaks. Stop the engine.
Check the oil level and fill to the F mark, if
necessary.
Oil Capacity
Without filter change : 3.2 L (3.38 US qt.)
With filter change : 3.4 L (3.59 US qt.)
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer to
“Recommended Lubricants’’ later in this section.)
Engine Cooling SystemThe cooling system is a high-pressure type with a
reservoir and is filled with year-round antifreeze
coolant at the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and coolant level
at least once a year, at the beginning of the winter
season, and before traveling to a colder climate.
Maintenance7-16
✻ ✻
NOTICE
 Follow these instructions carefully. An
improper oil filter installation can cause oil
leakage and engine damage.
 Although oil filters may have the same
external appearance, their internal designs
differ significantly. These filters are not
interchangeable. To avoid potential engine
damage, use only the specified filter. Consult
an Authorized Kia Dealer.
RIO ENG CNA 7-1.qxd 7/29/05 5:16 PM Page 16

Body LubricationAll moving points of the body, such as doors, hood
hinges and locks, should be lubricated each time the
engine oil is changed.
Use a non-freezing lubricant on locks during cold
weather.
Make sure the engine hood secondary latch keeps the
hood from opening when the primary latch is released.
Lubricants and FluidsChecking the Washer Fluid LevelCheck the fluid level in the washer fluid reservoir and
add fluid if necessary.
Plain water may be used if washer fluid is not
available. However, use windshield washer solvent
with antifreeze characteristics in cold climates to
prevent freezing.Maintenance7-26
CAUTION
 Do not use radiator coolant or antifreeze in the
washer fluid reservoir.
 Radiator coolant can severely obscure visibility
when sprayed on the windshield and may
cause loss of vehicle control or damage to
paint and body trim.

Maintenance7-48
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel
economy and cold weather operation (starting and oil
flow). Lower viscosity engine oils can provide better
fuel economy and cold weather performance, however,
higher viscosity engine oils are required for
satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of
any viscosity other than those 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. Then select the recommended oil
viscosity from the chart.
✻ ✻
NOTICE
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler
plug, drain plug, or dipstick before checking 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.
