or engine coolant is leaking out, stop
the engine immediately and call the

assistance. Kia recommends to call an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
Use of other coolant type or water may
damage the inverter.

is a leak in the cooling system and this
should be checked as soon as possi-
ble by a professional workshop. Kia

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.

If there is not enough coolant for
the electrical (power) system,
have your vehicle inspected by
the professional workshop. Kia
