* 1: Fuel additives: Kia recommends that you use Tier 1 unleaded gasoline which has an octane
rating of RON (Research Octane Number) 95/AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher.For custom-
ers who do not use good quality gasolines including fuel additives regularly, and have prob-
lems starting or the engine does not run smoothly, one bottle of additives should be added to
the fuel tank at every 8,000miles (13,000km).Additives are available from an authorized Kia
dealer. Do not mix with other additives.
* 2: Engine oil and engine oil filter: As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving,
the engine oil level should be checked on regular basis. The engine oil change interval for nor-
mal operating conditions is based on the use of the recommended engine specification. If the
recommended engine oil specification is not used, then replace the engine oil according to
the maintenance schedule under severe operating conditions.
* 3: Differential oil (rear, front) (AWD): If the vehicle has been submerged in water or in a flooded
area, the fluids should be changed as a precaution.
* 4: Differential oil (rear) With LSD: When replacing differential oil with LSD, use only specified
LSD oil.
* 5: Spark plug: For your convenience, it can be replaced prior to it's interval when you do main-
tenance of other items.
* 6: Coolant (Engine): When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft water for your vehi-
cle and never mix hard water in the coolant filled at the factory. An improper coolant mixture
can result in serious malfunction or engine damage.
* 7: Drive belts (Engine): Inspect alternator, water pump and air conditioner drive belt and if nec-
essary, repair or replace.Inspect drive belt tensioner, idler and alternator pulley and if neces-
sary correct or replace.
* 8: Transfer case oil (AWD): Fluids should be changed anytime vehicle has been submerged in
water.
僅 Fuel filter (gasoline engine): The fuel filter is considered to be maintenance free but periodic
inspection is recommended for this maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality.
- If there are some important safety matters like fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of power,
hard starting problem etc, replace the fuel filter immediately regardless of maintenance
schedule and consult an authorized Kia dealer for details.
