NOTICE
New automatic transaxle fluid should be
red. The red dye is added so the assem-
bly plant can identify it as automatic
transaxle fluid and distinguish it from
engine oil or antifreeze. The red dye,
which is not an indicator of fluid quali-
ty, is not permanent. As the vehicle is
driven, the automatic transaxle fluid
will begin to look darker. The colour
may eventually appear light brown.
Therefore, we recommend that the sys-
tem be replaced by an authorised Kia
dealer according to the Scheduled
Maintenance at the beginning of this
section.
Use only specified automatic transaxle
fluid. (Refer to "Recommended lubricants
or capacities" in section 8.)
Changing the automatic transaxle
