Kia Soul 2018 Owner's Manual page 560

WARNING
- Diesel only
Never work on injection system
with engine running or within 30
seconds after shutting
engine. High pressure pump, rail,
injectors and high pressure pipes
are subject to high pressure even
after the engine stopped.The fuel
jet produced by fuel leaks may
cause serious injury, if it touch
the body. People using pacemak-
ers should not move more than
30cm closer to the ECU or wiring
harness within the engine room
whilst engine is running, since
the high currents in the Common
Rail system produce consider-
able magnetic fields.
Vapour hose and fuel filler cap
The vapour hose and fuel filler cap
should be inspected at those inter-
vals specified in the maintenance
schedule. Make sure that a new
vapour hose or fuel filler cap is cor-
rectly replaced.
Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-
dence of heat and/or mechanical
off
damage. Hard and brittle rubber,
cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterio-
ration. Particular attention should be
paid to examine those hose surfaces
nearest to high heat sources, such
as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure
that the hoses do not come in con-
tact with any heat source, sharp
edges or moving component which
might cause heat
mechanical wear. Inspect all hose
connections, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure they are
secure, and that no leaks are pres-
ent. Hoses should be replaced
immediately if there is any evidence
of deterioration or damage.
Air cleaner filter
Have the air cleaner filter replaced by
a professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
Spark plugs
(for petrol engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
WARNING
Do not disconnect and inspect
spark plugs when the engine is
damage or
hot. You may burn yourself.
