Check the condition and connections of
all cooling system hoses and heater

level gauge when the engine is cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
specified coolant to provide protection
against freezing and corrosion. Bring the
level to F, but do not overfill. If frequent
additions are required, see an autho-
rized Kia dealer for a cooling system
inspection.
