Maintenance
WARNING
- Maintenance work
• Performing maintenance work
on a vehicle can be dangerous.
You can be seriously injured
while performing some mainte-
nance procedures. If you lack
sufficient knowledge and expe-
rience or the proper tools and
equipment to do the work, we
recommend that the system be
servied by an authorized Kia
dealer.
• Working under the hood with
the engine running is danger-
ous. It becomes even more
dangerous when you wear jew-
elry or loose clothing. These
can become entangled in mov-
ing parts and result in injury.
Therefore, if you must run the
engine 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.

CAUTION
• Do not put heavy objects or
apply excessive force on top of
the engine cover or fuel related
parts.
• When you inspect the fuel
system (fuel lines and fuel
injection devices), we recom-
mend that you contact an
authorized kia dealer.
• 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,
ignition cables and electrical
wiring, you should disconnect
the battery "-" terminal. You
may get an electric shock
from the electric current.
