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 the
LOCK/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 pro‐
fessional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorized 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
n
Diesel only
Never work on the injection system
with the engine running or within
30 seconds after shutting off the
engine. High pressure pump, rail, in‐
jectors and high pressure pipes are
subject to high pressure even after
the engine stops. The fuel jet pro‐
duced by fuel leaks may cause seri‐
ous injury, if it touches the body.
People using pacemakers should not
more move than 30 cm closer to the
ECU or wiring harness within the en‐
gine room while the engine is run‐
ning, since the high currents in the
Common Rail system produce con‐
siderable magnetic fields.
