may blow out under pressure. Thiscould cause burns or other seriousinjury.
While operating your vehicle:
• Note any changes in the sound of the exhaust or any smell of exhaust
fumes in the vehicle.

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Engine oil and filter
The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. If the vehi‐
cle is being driven in severe conditions,
more frequent oil and filter changes are required.
Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil satu‐ ration and replace if necessary. Drive
belts should be checked periodically for
proper tension and adjusted as neces‐
sary.
CAUTION
When you are inspecting the belt,place the ignition switch in theLOCK/OFF or ACC position.
Fuel filter cartridge (for diesel)
A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven, dam‐
age the emission system and cause multiple issues such as hard starting. If
an excessive amount of foreign matter
accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may require replacement more fre‐
quently.
After installing a new filter, run the en‐
gine for several minutes, and check for leaks at the connections. Have the fuel
filter replaced by a professional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an au‐ thorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Fuel filter (for gasoline)
Kia gasoline vehicle is equipped a life‐
time fuel filter that integrated with the fuel tank. Regular maintenance or re‐
placement is not needed but depends
on fuel quality. If there are some im‐ portant safety matters like fuel flow
restriction, surging, loss of power, hard
starting problem etc, fuel filter inspec‐ tion or replace is needed.
Have the fuel filter inspected or re‐
placed by a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and damage. Have the fuel lines, fuel hoses and con‐
nections replaced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
nDiesel only
Never work on the injection systemwith the engine running or within 30seconds after shutting off the en‐gine. High pressure pump, rail, injec‐tors and high pressure pipes aresubject to high pressure even afterthe engine stops. The fuel jet pro‐duced by fuel leaks may cause seri‐ous injury, if it touches the body.People using pacemakers should notmore move than 30 cm closer to theECU or wiring harness within the en‐gine room while the engine is run‐ning, since the high currents in theCommon Rail system produce con‐siderable magnetic fields.

Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery. • If the battery becomes discharged in a short time (because, for example,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.
WARNING
nRecharging battery
When recharging the battery, ob‐serve the following precautions:•The battery must be removedfrom the vehicle and placed in anarea with good ventilation.
•Do not allow cigarettes, sparks, orflame near the battery.
•Watch the battery during charg‐ing, and stop or reduce the charg‐ing rate if the battery cells begingassing (boiling) violently or if thetemperature of the electrolyte ofany cell exceeds 49°C (120°F).
•Wear eye protection when check‐ing the battery during charging.
•Disconnect the battery charger inthe following order.1.Turn off the battery chargermain switch.
2.Unhook the negative clampfrom the negative battery ter‐minal.
3.Unhook the positive clamp fromthe positive battery terminal.
WARNING
•Before performing maintenance orrecharging the battery, turn off allaccessories and stop the engine.
•The negative battery cable mustbe removed first and installed lastwhen the battery is disconnected.
•Operation related to the battery isrecommended to be done by aprofessional workshop. Kia recom‐mends to visit an authorized Kiadealer/service partner.

❈Left side : Normal Right side : Blown
A vehicle’s electrical system is protec‐
ted from electrical overload damage by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels,
one located in the driver’s side panel
bolster, the others in the engine com‐ partment near the battery.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, accesso‐
ries, or controls do not work, check the
appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse has blown, the element inside the fuse will
melt.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
Before replacing a blown fuse, discon‐ nect the negative battery cable.
Always replace a blown fuse with one
of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indi‐
cates an electrical problem. Avoid using the system involved and immediately
consult a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to consult an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car‐
tridge type, and multi fuse for higher amperage ratings.
WARNING
nFuse replacement
•Never replace a fuse with anythingbut another fuse of the same rat‐ing.
•A higher capacity fuse could causedamage and possibly a fire.
•Never install a wire or aluminumfoil instead of the proper fuseeven as a temporary repair. It maycause extensive wiring damageand a possible fire.
•Do not arbitrarily modify or add-on electric wiring of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any oth‐er metal object to remove fuses be‐cause it may cause a short circuitand damage the system.
