Maintenance
38 7
Valve clearance
(for gasoline engine)
(Except for Nu 2.0 Engine)
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if neces-
sary. We recommend that the valve
clearance be serviced by an author-
ized Kia dealer.
Cooling system
Check the cooling system parts,
such as radiator, coolant reservoir,
hoses and connections for leakage
and damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Coolant
The coolant should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Manual transaxle fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the manual transaxle fluid
according to the maintenance sched-
ule.
Automatic transaxle fluid
(if equipped)
Automatic transaxle fluid should not
be checked under normal usage
conditions.
But in severe conditions, we recom-
mend that the system be serviced by
an authorized Kia dealer in accor-
dance to the maintenance schedule.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Automatic transaxle fluid color is
basically red.
As the vehicle is driven, the auto-
matic transaxle fluid will begin to
look darker.
It is normal condition and you should
not judge the need to replace the fluid
based upon the changed color.
CAUTION
The use of a non-specified fluid
could result in transaxle mal-
function and failure.
Use only specified automatic
transaxle fluid.
