僅 Changing The Coolant - Kia Stinger 2023 Owner's Manual

Maintenance
僅 The engine in your vehicle has alumi-
num engine parts and must be pro-
tected by an ethylene-glycol with
phosphate based coolant to prevent
corrosion and freezing.
僅 DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol
coolant or mix them with the specified
coolant.
僅 Do not use a solution that contains
more than 60% antifreeze or less than
35% antifreeze. This would reduce the
effectiveness of the solution.
For mixture percentage, refer to the fol-
lowing table.

WARNING
Radiator cap
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine and radiator
are hot. Scalding hot coolant and
steam may blow out under pressure
which may result in serious injury.
Changing the coolant
Have the coolant changed by an autho-
rized Kia dealer according to the Mainte-
nance Schedule at the beginning of this
chapter.
CAUTION
Put a thick cloth or fabric around the
radiator cap before refilling the coolant
in order to prevent the coolant from
overflowing into engine parts such as
the generator.
