Maintenance
MAINTENANCE SERVICESYou should exercise the utmost care
to prevent damage to your vehicle
and injury to yourself whenever per-
forming any maintenance or inspec-
tion procedures.
Should you have any doubts con-
cerning the inspection or servicing of
your vehicle, we strongly recom-
mend that you have an Authorized
Kia Dealer perform this work.
An Authorized Kia Dealer has facto-
ry-trained technicians and genuine
Kia parts to service your vehicle
properly. For expert advice and qual-
ity service, see an Authorized Kia
Dealer.
Inadequate, incomplete or insuffi-
cient servicing may result in opera-
tional problems with your vehicle that
could lead to vehicle damage, an
accident, or personal injury.
Owner’s responsibility ✽ ✽NOTICEMaintenance Service and Record
Retention are the owner's responsi-
bility. You should retain documents that
show proper maintenance has been
performed on your vehicle in accor-
dance with the scheduled mainte-
nance service charts shown on the
following pages. You need this infor-
mation to establish your compliance
with the servicing and maintenance
requirements of your Kia warranties.
Detailed warranty information is pro-
vided in your Warranty & Consumer
Information manual. Repairs and adjustments required as
a result of improper maintenance or
a lack of required maintenance are
not covered.
We strongly recommend that all vehi-
cle maintenance be performed by an
authorized Kia dealer using genuine
Kia parts.

Owner maintenance precau-
tions Improper or incomplete service may
result in problems. This section gives
instructions only for the maintenance
items that are easy to perform.
As explained earlier in this section,
several procedures can be done only
by an Authorized Kia Dealer with
special tools.✽ ✽
NOTICEImproper owner maintenance dur-
ing the warranty period may affect
warranty coverage. For details, read
the separate Kia Warranty &
Consumer Information Manual pro-
vided with the vehicle. If you're
unsure about any servicing or main-
tenance procedure, have it done by
an Authorized Kia Dealer.
WARNING
- Maintenance
work
 Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be danger-
ous. You can be seriously
injured while performing some
maintenance procedures. If
you lack sufficient knowledge
and experience or the proper
tools and equipment to do the
work, have it done by an
Authorized Kia Dealer.
 Working under the hood with the engine running is danger-
ous. It becomes even more
dangerous when you wear
jewelry or loose clothing.
These can become entangled
in moving parts and result in
injury. Therefore, if you must
run the engine while working
under the hood, make certain
that you remove all jewelry
(especially rings, bracelets,
watches, and necklaces) and
all neckties, scarves, and sim-
ilar loose clothing before get-
ting near the engine or cool-
ing fans.

For best battery service : Keep the battery securely mount-
ed.
 Keep the battery top clean and dry.
 Keep the terminals and connec- tions clean, tight, and coated with
petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
 Rinse any spilled electrolyte from the battery immediately with a
solution of water and baking soda.
 If the vehicle is not going to be used for an extended time, discon-
nect the battery cables.
Battery recharging Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
 If the battery becomes dischargedin a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior lights
were left on while the vehicle was
not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
 If the battery gradually discharges because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours. Items to be reset after the battery
has been discharged or the bat-
tery has been disconnected.

Uniform tire quality grading The following information relates to
the tire grading system developed by
the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (CMVSS) for grading tires
by tread wear, traction and tempera-
ture performance.Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a compara-
tive rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified govern-
ment test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one-and-a-
half times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions
of their use. However, performance
may differ from the norm because of
variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
These grades are molded on the
side-walls of passenger vehicle tires.
The tires available as standard or
optional equipment on Kia vehicles
may vary with respect to grade.Traction - A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are A, B and C. The grades
represent the tires ability to stop on
wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may
have poor traction performance.
Temperature -A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B and C. The grades repre-
sent the tire’s resistance to the gener-
ation of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified indoor labo-
ratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tires to
degenerate and reduce tires life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tires failure. Grades A and B
represent higher levels of perform-
ance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by the
law.

LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS Recommended lubricants To help achieve proper engine and
powertrain performance and durabil-
ity, use only lubricants of the proper
quality. The correct lubricants also
help promote engine efficiency that
results in improved fuel economy.Engine oils labeled Energy
Conserving Oil are now available.
Along with other additional benefits,
they contribute to fuel economy by
reducing the amount of fuel neces-
sary to overcome engine friction.
Often, these improvements are diffi-
cult to measure in everyday driving,
but in a year’s time, they can offer
significant cost and energy savings.
Recommended SAE viscosity
number ✽ ✽
NOTICEAlways be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain plug,
or dipstick before checking or
draining any lubricant. This is espe-
cially 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. Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has
an effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (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 viscos-
ity other than those recommended
could result in engine damage.
*¹ Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.
