Explanation of scheduled maintenance items
Explanation of scheduled
maintenance items
The following parts require scheduled
maintenance.
Engine oil and filter
The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in the
maintenance schedule. If the vehicle is
being driven in severe conditions, more
frequent oil and filter changes are
required.
Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil satu-
ration and replace if necessary. Drive
belts should be checked periodically for
proper tension and adjusted as neces-
sary.
Fuel filter
Kia gasoline vehicles are equipped with
a lifetime fuel filter that is integrated
with the fuel tank. Regular maintenance
or replacement is generally not needed.
This may vary depending on fuel quality.
If you experience any of the following:
fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of
power, or a hard starting issue, inspec-
tion and, if necessary, replacement may
be needed. Have the fuel filter inspected
or replaced by an authorized Kia dealer.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and connec-
tions
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-
nections for leakage and damage. Have
an authorized Kia dealer replace any
damaged or leaking parts immediately.
