Maintenance
僅The electric motor for the cooling fan may continue to operate or start up
when the vehicle is not running and can cause serious injury.
Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the rotating fan blades of the
cooling fan.
The electric motor for the cooling fan is controlled by vehicle coolant temperature,
refrigerant pressure and vehicle speed. As the vehicle coolant temperature decreases,
the electric motor will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
僅 Do not use coolant or antifreeze in the washer fluid reservoir.
僅 Coolant can severely obscure visibility when sprayed on the windshield and may cause
loss of vehicle control or damage to paint and body trim.
僅 Windshield Washer fluid agents contain some amounts of alcohol and can be flammable
under certain circumstances. Do not allow sparks or flame to contact the washer fluid or
the washer fluid reservoir. Damage to the vehicle or occupants could occur.
僅 Windshield washer fluid is poisonous to humans and animals. Do not drink and avoid
contacting windshield washer fluid. Serious injury or death could occur.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake fluid to contact the vehicle's body paint, as paint damage will result.
Brake fluid, which has been exposed to open air for an extended time should never be
used as its quality cannot be guaranteed. It should be properly disposed. Don't put in the
wrong kind of fluid. A few drops of mineral-based oil in your brake system can damage
brake system parts.
NOTE
To maintain your vehicle's best brake and ABS/ESC performance, use Kia genuine brake
fluid or those of an equivalent standard brake fluid as in the specification.
Coolant
Operation
僅 Check the condition and connections of all the cooling system hoses and heater hoses.
Replace any swollen or deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled between the MAX or F and the MIN or L marks on the
side of the coolant reservoir when the parts in the motor compartment is cool.
僅 If the coolant is low, we recommend to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
The electric motor for the cooling fan may continue to operate or start up
when the vehicle is not running and can cause serious injury.

ing fan.
