What to do in an emergency
WARNING
Under the hood
While 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 leaking out, stop
the engine immediately and call the
nearest a professional workshop for
assistance. Call an authorized Kia
dealer.
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 overheating. If
overheating happens again, call a
professional workshop for assistance.
Call an authorized Kia dealer.
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. Call an authorized Kia dealer.
Use of other coolant type or water may
damage the inverter.
CAUTION
僅 Serious loss of coolant indicates there
is a leak in the cooling system and this
should be checked as soon as possi-
ble. Have your vehicle checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.
僅 When the engine overheats from low
engine coolant, suddenly adding
engine coolant may cause cracks in
the engine. To prevent damage, add
engine coolant slowly in small quanti-
ties.
