Kia dealer according to the Maintenance
Schedule at the beginning of this section.

when the engine and radiator are
hot. Scalding hot coolant and
steam may blow out under pres-
sure causing serious injury.

CAUTION

Put a thick cloth or fabric around
the radiator cap before refilling the
coolant in order to prevent the
coolant from overflowing into
engine parts such as generator.

WARNING -

antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.

• Radiator coolant can severely

obscure visibility when sprayed
