Explanation of scheduled maintenance items

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.
Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil satu-
ration and replace if necessary. Drive
belts should be checked periodically for
proper tension and adjusted as neces-
sary.
CAUTION
When you are inspecting the belt, place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF or
ACC position.
Fuel filter cartridge (for diesel)
A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven, dam-
age the emission system and cause mul-
tiple issues such as hard starting. If an
excessive amount of foreign matter
accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter
may require replacement more fre-
quently.
After installing a new filter, run the
engine for several minutes, and check
for leaks at the connections. Have the
fuel filter replaced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
