Master Warning Light
This indicator light illumi‐nates:
• This warning light informs the driver the following situations- TPMS failure, low pressure (if equipped)
- Low engine oil (if equipped)
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system (if equipped) failure
- Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) malfunction (if equipped)
If the warning situation is solved, the master warning light will turn off.

- at more than 2nd gear with 1500 ~ 2000 engine rpm for a certain time (for about 25 minutes).
If this warning light blinks in spite of
the procedure (at this time the LCD warning message will be displayed),
have the DPF system checked by a pro‐
fessional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/ service
partner.

(Continued)
•For safe driving, please note thatthe TPMS is not a substitute forproper tire maintenance. It is thedriver’s responsibility to maintaincorrect tire pressure, and all tiresshould be checked monthly tomaintain the recommended pres‐sure.
•The warning light may illuminate ifthe system is not set in requiredsituations.
•In cold weather, the low tire pres‐sure warning light may illuminateeven if the tire was adjusted tothe proper pressure. It does notmean your TPMS is malfunctioningbecause the decreased tempera‐ture leads to a lowering of tirepressure. Check the tires and ad‐just to the recommended pressure.
•System performance may reducein the following situations.-Improper system setting
-Using tires on the market (Origi‐nal tire recommended)
-Driving on snowy, slippery, orunpaved roads
(Continued)
(Continued)
-Hard cornering, rapid accelerat‐ing and braking repeatedly
-Driving too slow or fast
-If the vehicle is overloaded
-If a spare tire or snow chain isinstalled
•When filling tires with more air,conditions to turn off the low tirepressure telltale may not be met.This is because a tire inflator has amargin of error in performance.The low tire pressure telltale willbe turned off if the tire pressure isabove the recommended tire infla‐tion pressure.
WARNING
•Driving with an under-inflated tirecauses the tire to overheat andlead to tire failure. It also reducestire tread life, handling of the vehi‐cle, braking ability, and fuel effi‐ciency, causing instability of thevehicle. In this case, contact pro‐fessional workshop to maintainproper tire pressure. Kia recom‐mends to contact an authorizedKia dealer/service partner.
•Sudden damage to the tire causedby external factors may not be in‐dicated immediately. If the vehicleis unstable, immediately removeyour foot off the accelerator ped‐al, move the vehicle to a safe posi‐tion for inspection.
Tire Pressure Monitoring
System malfunction
The TPMS malfunction indicator will il‐
luminate () after it blinks for approx‐
imately 1 minute when there is a prob‐ lem with the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists.

OWNER MAINTENANCE
The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per‐
formed at the frequencies indicated to help ensure safe, dependable operation
of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your dealer as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance Checks are
generally not covered by warranties
and you may be charged for labor, parts and lubricants used.
Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir.
• Check the windshield washer fluid level.
• Look for low or under-inflated tires.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your en‐gine coolant level when the engine ishot. Scalding hot coolant and steam

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.
• Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steering
effort or looseness in the steering
wheel, or change in its straight-
ahead position.
• Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or L

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.

Maintenance

TIRES AND WHEELS

Tire care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must al‐
ways maintain recommended tire infla‐ tion pressures and stay within the load
limits and weight distribution recom‐
mended for your vehicle.
Recommended cold tire inflation
pressures
All tire pressures (including the spare)
should be checked when the tires are cold. L
