Maintenance
WARNING
Maintenance work
Performing maintenance work on
a vehicle can be dangerous. You
can be seriously injured whilst
performing some maintenance
procedures. If you lack sufficient
knowledge and experience or the
proper tools and equipment to do
the work, have the system ser -
viced by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
Working under the bonnet with
the engine running is dangerous.
It becomes 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
engine whilst working under the
bonnet, 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.
CAUTION
Do not put heavy objects or apply
excessive force on top of the
engine cover (if equipped) or fuel
related parts.
When you inspect the fuel system
(fuel lines and fuel injection
devices), contact a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/ser -
vice partner.
Do not drive long time with the
engine cover 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.
