What to do in an emergency
WARNING
Under the bonnet
Whilst the engine is running,
keep hair, hands and clothing
away from moving parts,
such as the fan and drive
belts, to prevent injury.
7. If the water pump drive belt is
broken or engine coolant is leak-
ing out, stop the engine immedi-
ately and call the nearest a
professional workshop for assis-
tance. Kia recommends to call an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
8. If you cannot find the cause of
the overheating, wait until the
engine temperature has returned
to normal. If coolant has been
lost, carefully add coolant to the
reservoir to bring the fluid level in
the reservoir up to the halfway
mark.
9. Proceed with caution, keeping
alert for further signs of over-
heating. If overheating happens
again, call a professional work-
shop for assistance. Kia recom-
mends to call an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
WARNING
Coolant reservoir cap
Do not remove the engine
and inverter coolant reservoir
cap when the engine is hot.
This may result in coolant being
blown out of the opening and cause
serious burns.
If the inverter coolant is running out,
call the nearest a professional
workshop for assistance. Kia recom-
mends to call an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
Use of other coolant type or water
may damage the inverter.
CAUTION
Serious loss of coolant indicates
there is a leak in the cooling sys-
tem and this should be checked as
soon as possible by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/ser-
vice partner.
When the engine overheats from
low engine coolant, suddenly add-
ing engine coolant may cause
cracks in the engine. To prevent
damage, add engine coolant
slowly in small quantities.
