Driving tips

Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may be
affected.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times while the vehicle is moving
slowly.
HLA (Hydraulic Lash Adjuster)
noise
The engine HLA's keep the gap
between the valve and cam at zero
regardless of the valve expansion.
Occasionally, you may hear tempo-
rary or continuous noise (clatter)
from the engine when starting or
idling. This noise will usually go away
by following a few simple steps:
If the temporary noise occurs when
starting a cold engine:
This is a normal condition. This noise
will disappear after the engine oil has
reached normal operating pressure.
If the noise occurs when starting the
engine after the engine has not been
operated for more than 48 hours; or
engine has been cranked excessively:
This condition may be caused by oil
draining from the HLA's. This allows
air to enter the HLA causing insuffi-
cient lubricating oil in the HLA. This
will usually disappear within 15 min-
utes with the engine running at
2000~3000 rpm. If the noise does
not disappear, have the engine oil
pressure, engine lubrication system
and HLA's inspected by an
Authorized Kia Dealer.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine at more
than 3000 rpm until the noise
goes away. Damage to the
HLA's could occur.
