Maintenance
Timing belt (if equipped)Inspect all parts related to the timing
belt for damage and deformation.
Replace any damaged parts immedi-
ately.Vapor hose and fuel filler capThe vapor hose and fuel filler cap
should be inspected at those inter-
vals specified in the maintenance
schedule. Make sure that a new
vapor hose or fuel filler cap is cor-
rectly replaced.
Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-
dence of heat and/or mechanical
damage. Hard and brittle rubber,
cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterio-
ration. Particular attention should be
paid to examine those hose surfaces
nearest to high heat sources, such
as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure
that the hoses do not come in con-
tact with any heat source, sharp
edges or moving component which
might cause heat damage or
mechanical wear. Inspect all hose
connections, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure they are
secure, and that no leaks are pre-
sent. Hoses should be replaced
immediately if there is any evidence
of deterioration or damage.
Air cleaner filterA Genuine KIA air cleaner filter is
recommended when the filter is
replaced.Spark plugsMake sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.Valve clearanceInspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if neces-
sary. An authorized KIA dealer
should perform the operation.
