Maintenance Engine clutch actuator fluid
Engine clutch actuator fluid
Checking the engine clutch actu
-
ator fluid level
In normal driving conditions, the actua
-
tor fluid level does not go down rapidly.
However, oil consumption rate may rise
as vehicle mileage increases, and leak
-
age in actuator related parts may result
in increased consumption of the engine
clutch actuator oil. Regularly check and
make sure the engine clutch actuator oil
fluid level is between MIN and MAX
marks.
If the oil level is below MIN mark, have
the vehicle checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
If the fluid level is excessively low, have
the system checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Use only the specified engine clutch
actuator fluid. (Refer to "Recommended
lubricants and capacities" on page 9-6.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
僅 Check the fluid level in the engine
clutch actuator fluid reservoir and add
fluid if necessary.
The reservoir is translucent so that you
can check the level with a quick visual
inspection.
CAUTION
Do not allow the engine clutch actuator
fluid to contact the vehicle's body paint,
as paint damage will result. The engine
clutch actuator fluid, which has been
exposed to open air for an extended
time should never be used as its quality
cannot be guaranteed. It should be
properly disposed. Don't put in the
wrong kind of fluid. A few drops of min
-
eral-based oil, such as engine oil, in your
engine clutch system can damage the
engine clutch system parts.
WARNING
僅 In the event the engine clutch system
requires frequent additions of fluid,
have the system inspected by a pro
-
fessional workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorized Kia dealer/ser
-
vice partner.
僅 When changing and adding the
engine clutch actuator fluid, handle it
carefully. Do not let it come in contact
with your eyes. If the engine clutch
actuator fluid should come in contact
with your eyes, immediately flush
them with a large quantity of fresh tap
water. Have your eyes examined by a
doctor as soon as possible.
