Automatic transmission fluid (if equipped)
Automatic transmission fluid should not be checked under normal usage conditions.
Have the automatic transmission fluid changed by a professional workshop according to the maintenance schedule. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Automatic transmission fluid color is basically red.
As the vehicle is driven, the automatic transmission fluid will begin to look darker. It is normal condition and you should not judge the need to replace the fluid based upon the changed color.
The use of a non-specified fluid could result in transmission malfunction and failure.
Use only specified automatic transmission fluid. (Refer to More Details.)
