ENGINE COOLANT
The high-pressure cooling system has
a reservoir filled with year round anti‐
freeze coolant. The reservoir is filled at the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at the
beginning of the winter season, and be‐ fore traveling to a colder climate.
CAUTION
•When the engine overheats fromlow engine coolant, suddenly add‐ing engine coolant may causecracks in the engine. To preventdamage, add engine coolant slowlyin small quantities.
•Do not drive with no engine cool‐ant. It may cause water pump fail‐ure and engine seizure, etc.
Checking the coolant level
WARNING
Removing radiator cap
•Never attempt to remove the radi‐ator cap while the engine is oper‐ating or hot. Doing so might leadto cooling system and engine dam‐age. Also, hot coolant or steamcould cause serious personal in‐jury.
•Turn the engine off and wait untilit cools down. Use extreme carewhen removing the radiator cap.Wrap a thick towel around it, andturn it counterclockwise slowly tothe first stop. Step back while thepressure is released from the cool‐ing system.When you are sure all the pressurehas been released, press down onthe cap, using a thick towel, andcontinue turning counterclockwiseto remove it.

(Continued)
•Even if the engine is not operating,do not remove the radiator cap orthe drain plug while the engine andradiator are hot. Hot coolant andsteam may still blow out underpressure, causing serious injury.
WARNING
The electric motor (cool‐ing fan) is controlled byengine coolant tempera‐ture, refrigerant pressureand vehicle speed.
It may sometimes operate evenwhen the engine is not running. Useextreme caution when working nearthe blades of the cooling fan so thatyou are not injured by a rotating fanblades. As the engine coolant tem‐perature decreases, the electric mo‐tor will automatically shut off. Thisis a normal condition.

Check the condition and connections of
all cooling system hoses and heater ho‐ ses. Replace any swollen or deteriora‐
ted hoses.
The coolant level should be filled be‐
tween MAX and MIN (F and L) marks on the side of the coolant reservoir when
the engine is cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) or soft water. Bring the level to MAX (F), but do not overfill.
If frequent additions are required, have
the system inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Recommended engine coolant
• When adding coolant, use only deion‐ ized water or soft water for your ve‐
hicle and never mix hard water in the
coolant filled at the factory. An im‐
proper coolant mixture can result in serious malfunction or engine dam‐
age.
• The engine in your vehicle has alumi‐ num engine parts and must be pro‐
tected by an ethylene-glycol with
phosphate based coolant to prevent corrosion and freezing.
• DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol coolant or mix them with the speci‐
fied coolant.
• Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze or lessthan 35% antifreeze, which would re‐
duce the effectiveness of the solu‐
tion.

following table.

WARNING
Radiator cap
Do not remove the radiator capwhen the engine and radiator arehot. Scalding hot coolant and steammay blow out under pressure caus‐ing serious injury.

Changing the coolant
Have the coolant replaced by a profes‐
sional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
CAUTION
Put a thick cloth around the radiatorcap before refilling the coolant in or‐der to prevent the coolant fromoverflowing into engine parts suchas the alternator.
WARNING

•Do not use radiator coolant or an‐tifreeze in the washer fluid reser‐voir.
•Radiator coolant can severely ob‐scure visibility when sprayed onthe windshield and may cause lossof vehicle control or damage thepaint and body trim.

WASHER FLUID
Checking the washer fluid level
The reservoir is translucent so that you
can check the level with a quick visual inspection.
Check 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 washer
solvent with antifreeze characteristics
in cold climates to prevent freezing.
WARNING

•Do not use radiator coolant or an‐tifreeze in the washer fluid reser‐voir.
•Radiator coolant can severely ob‐scure visibility when sprayed onthe windshield and may cause lossof vehicle control or damage topaint and body trim.
•Windshield Washer fluid agentscontain some amounts of alcoholand can be flammable under cer‐tain circumstances. Do not allowsparks or flame to contact thewasher fluid or the washer fluidreservoir. Damage to the vehicle oroccupants could occur.
•Windshield washer fluid is poison‐ous to humans and animals. Donot drink and avoid contactingwindshield washer fluid. Seriousinjury or death could occur.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The emission control system of your vehicle is covered by a written limited
warranty. Please see the warranty in‐
formation contained in the Warranty & Maintenance book in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an emis‐
sion control system to meet all applica‐
ble emission regulations.
There are three emission control sys‐ tems, as follows. 1. Crankcase emission control system
2. Evaporative emission control sys‐ tem
3. Exhaust emission control system
In order to assure the proper function
of the emission control systems, have
your vehicle inspected and maintained by a professional workshop in accord‐
ance with the maintenance schedule in
this manual. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Caution for the Inspection and Mainte‐nance Test (With Electronic StabilityControl (ESC) system)
•To prevent the vehicle from misfiringduring dynamometer testing, turnthe Electronic Stability Control (ESC)system off by pressing the ESCswitch. •
After dynamometer testing is com‐pleted, turn the ESC system back onby pressing the ESC switch again.
1. Crankcase emission control
system
The positive crankcase ventilation sys‐
tem is employed to prevent air pollu‐ tion caused by blow-by gases being
emitted from the crankcase.
This system supplies fresh filtered air
to the crankcase through the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase, the fresh air
mixes with blow-by gases, which then
pass through the PCV valve into the in‐ duction system.
2. Evaporative emission control
system
The Evaporative Emission Control Sys‐
tem is designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere.
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the on‐ board canister. When the engine is run‐
ning, the fuel vapors absorbed in the
canister are drawn into the surge tank through the purge control solenoid
valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is con‐
trolled by the Engine Control Module (ECM); when the engine coolant tem‐
perature is low during idling, the PCSV
closes so that evaporated fuel is not taken into the engine. After the engine
warms up during ordinary driving, the
PCSV opens to introduce evaporated fuel to the engine.
3. Exhaust emission control
system
The Exhaust Emission Control System
is a highly effective system which con‐
trols exhaust emissions while maintain‐
ing good vehicle performance.
Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could affect
its performance, safety or durability and may even violate governmental
safety and emissions regulations.
In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from any modifica‐ tion may not be covered under warran‐
ty.
