Explanation of scheduled
maintenance items
Engine oil and filter
The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in the
maintenance schedule. If the vehicle is
being driven in severe conditions, more
frequent oil and filter changes are
required.
Hybrid Starter & Generator (HSG)
belt
Inspect all hybrid starter & generator
belts for evidence of cuts, cracks, exces-
sive wear or oil saturation and replace if
necessary. Hybrid starter & generator
belts should be checked periodically for
proper tension and adjusted as neces-
sary.
CAUTION
When you are inspecting the belt, place
the ENGINE START/STOP button in the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position.
Fuel filter
Kia gasoline vehicles are equipped with
a lifetime fuel filter that integrated with
the fuel tank. Regular maintenance or
replacement is not needed but depends
on fuel quality. If there are some import-
ant safety matters like fuel flow restric-
tion, surging, loss of power, hard starting
problem etc, fuel filter inspection or
replace is needed.
Have the fuel filter inspected or replaced
by an authorized Kia dealer.
