COOLANT
OYFH071070N-1
Inverter coolant
The high-pressure cooling system has a
reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze
coolant. The reservoir is filled at the fac-
tory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level everyday.
If it is near or at MIN, add enough coolant
between MIN and MAX and check the
cooling system for air bleed at an author-
ized Kia dealer.

CAUTION
When adding coolant, be careful
not to overfill.
CAUTION
Do not confuse the cap of engine
coolant and inverter coolant. If not,
the coolant circulation problem of
engine or Hybrid system may occur
because the cap pressure is differ-
ent.
