Maintenance
Emission control system
䳜 Do not misuse or abuse the
engine. Examples of misuse are
coasting with the ignition off and
descending steep grades in gear
with the ignition off.
䳜 Do not operate the engine at high
idle speed for extended periods (5
minutes or more).
䳜 Do not modify or tamper with any
part of the engine or emission
control system. All inspections
and adjustments must be made
by a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an autho
-
rized Kia dealer/service center.
䳜 Avoid driving with an extremely
low fuel level. Running out of fuel
could cause the engine to misfire,
damaging the catalytic converter.
Failure to observe these precautions
could result in damage to the cata
-
lytic converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void
your warranties.
Gasoline particulate filter (if
equipped)
The Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF)
is the system that removes the soot
from the exhaust gas. Unlike a dis
-
posable air filter, the GPF system
automatically burns (oxidizes) and
removes the accumulated soot
while driving.
However, repeated short-distance
driving or long-distance driving at a
low speed can stop the accumulated
soot from automatically being
removed by the GPF system. If the
accumulated soot reaches a certain
amount, the GPF warning light
(
) will illuminate. To re-operate
the GPF system, the vehicle should
be driven for more than 30 minutes
at a speed of 80 km/h and faster.
Ensure the following conditions are
met: safe road conditions, trans
-
mission 3 or above, and engine
speed of 1,500-4,000 rpm. Driving
at 80 km/h or faster for recom
-
mended hours will get the GPF sys
-
tem back to work and stop the GPF
warning light.
If the GPF warning light stays on or
the warning message 䳖check
exhaust system䳗 pops up even after
driving at recommended speed and
for recommended hours, visit a pro
-
fessional workshop and have them
check the GPF system. Constant
driving with the GPF warning light
on can damage the GPF system and
undermine fuel economy.
