Scheduled maintenance service

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, graveled 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.

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.

No check, No service required

* 1. 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.

* 2. Fuel tank air filter is considered to be maintenance free but periodic inspection is recommended as the level of maintenance will be dependent upon the quality fuel used in the vehicle.

* 3. The drive belt should be replaced when cracks occur or tension is reduced.

  • Fuel filter (gasoline engine): The fuel filter is considered to be maintenance free but periodic inspection is recommended for this maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality.

    • If there are some important safety matters like fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of power, hard starting problem etc., replace the fuel filter immediately regardless of maintenance schedule and consult an authorized Kia dealer for details.
