僅 Checking The Inverter Coolant Level - Kia Sportage Hybrid 2024 Owner's Manual

Maintenance
僅 Do not use radiator coolant or anti -
freeze in the washer fluid reservoir.
僅 Radiator coolant can severely obscure
visibility when sprayed on the
windscreen and may cause loss of
vehicle control or damage the paint
and body trim.
Checking the inverter coolant
level
If frequent additions are required, we
recommend that the system be
inspected by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
The inverter coolant level should be in
between MAX and MIN when the engine
is cooled down.
WARNING
Adding other cooling substances or
water might lead to inverter cooling sys -
tem degradation or even failure.

僅 Turn the vehicle off and wait until it
cools down.
僅 Use extreme care when removing the
inverter coolant reservoir cap. Wrap a
thick towel around it, and turn it
slowly to the first stop.
僅 Step back whilst the pressure is
released from the cooling system.
僅 When you are sure all the pressure
has been released, press down on the
cap, using a thick towel, and continue
turning to remove it.
僅 Check the condition and connections
of all cooling system hoses and heater
hoses.
僅 Replace any swollen or deteriorated
hoses.
僅 Check the coolant level. The coolant
level should be filled between MAX
and MIN marks on the side of the
coolant reservoir when the engine
room is cool.
僅 If the coolant level is low, add enough
specified coolant to provide protec -
tion against freezing and corrosion.
Bring the level to MAX, but do not
overfill.
WARNING
Make sure the inverter coolant reservoir
cap is properly closed after refill or cool -
ant.
Otherwise the inverter could be over -
heated whilst driving.
1. Check if the inverter coolant reservoir
cap label is straight In front.

inside the inverter coolant reservoir
cap are securely interlocked.
