BEFORE DRIVING
Before entering vehicle
• Be sure that all windows, outsidemirror(s), and outside lights are clean.
• Check the condition of the tires.
• Check under the vehicle for any sign of leaks.
• Be sure there are no obstacles behind you if you intend to back up.
Necessary inspections
Fluid levels, such as engine oil, engine
coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid should be checked on a regular basis,
with the exact interval depending on
the fluid. Further details are provided in L
Page 307 of 523
To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt
an approved de-icer fluid or glycerine
into the key opening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt it with an approved de-
icing fluid to remove the ice. If the lock
is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heated key. Han‐
dle the heated key with care to avoid
injury.
Use approved window washer
anti-freeze in system
To keep the water in the window wash‐
er system from freezing, add an ap‐ proved window washer anti-freeze sol‐
ution in accordance with instructions on
the container. Window washer anti- freeze is available from an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner and most au‐
to parts outlets. Do not use engine
coolant or other types of anti-freeze asthese may damage the paint finish.
Don't let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged posi‐
tion. This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if the
brakes are wet. If there is a risk the
parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the shift lev‐
er in P (automatic transaxle) or in first
or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the vehicle
cannot roll. Then release the parking
brake.
Don't let ice and snow
accumulate underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and in‐ terfere with the steering. When driving
in severe winter conditions where this
may happen, you should periodically check underneath the car to be sure
the movement of the front wheels and
the steering components is not ob‐ structed.
Carry emergency equipment
Depending on the severity of the
weather, you should carry appropriate
emergency equipment. Some of the items you may want to carry include
tire chains, tow straps or chains, flash‐
light, emergency flares, sand, shovel, jumper cables, window scraper, gloves,
ground cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.
