Maintenance
(Continued)
• Performing maintenance work on
a vehicle can be dangerous. You
can be seriously injured while per‐
forming some maintenance proce‐
dures.
If you lack sufficient knowledge
and experience or the proper tools
and equipment to do the work,
have the system serviced by a
professional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
• Working under the hood with the
engine running is dangerous. It be‐
comes even more dangerous when
you wear jewelry or loose clothing.
These can become entangled in
moving parts and result in injury.
Therefore, if you must run the en‐
gine while working under the hood,
make certain that you remove all
jewelry (especially rings, bracelets,
watches, and necklaces) and all
neckties, scarves, and similar loose
clothing before getting near the
engine or cooling fans.

• Do not leave gloves, rags or any
other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so
may cause a heat-induced fire.
CAUTION
• Do not put heavy objects or apply
excessive force on top of the en‐
gine cover (if equipped) or fuel re‐
lated parts.
• When you inspect the fuel system
(fuel lines and fuel injection devi‐
ces), contact a professional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
• Do not drive long time with the en‐
gine cover (if equipped) removed.
• When checking the engine room,
do not go near fire. Fuel, washer
fluid, etc. are flammable oils that
may cause fire.

• Before touching the battery, igni‐
tion cables and electrical wiring,
you should disconnect the battery
"-" terminal. You may get an elec‐
tric shock from the electric cur‐
rent.
• When you remove the interior trim
cover with a flat bed (-) driver, be
careful not to damage the cover.
• Be careful when you replace and
clean bulbs to avoid burns or elec‐
trical shock.
