Scheduled maintenance service precaution

Follow the Normal Maintenance Schedule if the vehicle is usually operated where none of the following conditions apply. If any of the following conditions apply, follow the Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions.

  • Repeated driving short distance of less than 8 km (5 miles) in normal temperature or less than 16 km(10 miles) in freezing temperature

  • Extensive engine idling or low speed driving for long distances

  • Driving on rough, dusty, muddy, unpaved, gravelled or salt-spread roads

  • Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials or in very cold weather

  • Driving in heavy dust condition

  • Driving in heavy traffic area

  • Driving on uphill, downhill, or mountain road repeatedly

  • Using for towing or camping and driving with loading on the roof.

  • Driving as a patrol car, taxi, other commercial use of vehicle towing

  • Frequently driving under high speed or rapid acceleration/deceleration.

  • Frequently driving in stop-and-go condition

  • Engine oil usage which is not recommended (Mineral type, Semi-synthetic, Lower grade spec, etc.)

  • Engine oil usage which is not recommended (Mineral type, Semi-synthetic, Viscosity grade)

If your vehicle is operated in any of the prior listed conditions, you should inspect, replace or refill more frequently, using the severe usage maintenance schedule instead of the normal usage maintenance schedule.

Normal maintenance schedule - Petrol engine for Europe (Except Russia)

The following maintenance services must be performed to ensure good emission control and performance. Keep receipts for all vehicle emission services to protect your warranty. Where both mileage and time are shown, the frequency of service is determined by whichever occurs first.

No.

Remrk

* 1

Engine oil and engine oil filter

  • As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should be checked on regular basis.

  • The engine oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of the recommended engine specification. If the recommended engine oil specification is not used, then replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under severe operating conditions.

  • Never add any additives to the engine oil. Engine oil additives can change the properties of engine oil and may cause serious engine failure.

* 2

Coolant (Engine)

When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft water for your vehicle and never mix hard water in the coolant filled at the factory. An improper coolant mixture can result in serious malfunction or engine damage.

* 3

Drive belts (Engine)

  • Adjust alternator, water pump and air conditioner drive belt. Inspect and if necessary repair or replace.

  • Inspect drive belt tensioner, idler and alternator pulley and if necessary correct or replace.

* 4

Valve clearance

Inspect for excessive valve noise and/or engine vibration and adjust if necessary. In this case, have the system checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/ service partner.

* 5

Spark plug

For your convenience, it can be replaced prior to it's interval when you do maintenance of other items.

* 6

Fuel additives (Petrol)

Kia recommends that you use unleaded petrol which has an octane rating of RON (Research Octane Number) 95 / AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher (for Europe) or Octane Rating of RON (Research Octane Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87 or higher (except Europe).

For customers who do not use good quality gasolines including fuel additives regularly, and have problems starting or the engine does not run smoothly, one bottle of additives should be added to the fuel tank when the engine oil is replaced. Additives are available from a professional workshop along with information on how to use them. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner. Do not mix other additives.
