Owner maintenance schedule

  • Check coolant level in coolant reservoir.

    WARNING

    When the coolant level is low, have the reservoir filled by an authorised Kia dealer/service partner by using only designated coolant water for electric vehicles. Using other types of water or antifreeze can cause serious damage to the vehicle.

  • Check the windscreen washer fluid level.

  • Look for low or under-inflated tyres.

  • Check the radiator and condenser.

    Check if the front of the radiator and condenser are clean and not blocked with leaves, dirt or insects etc.

    If any of the above parts are extremely dirty or you are not sure of their condition, contact a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

Whilst operating your vehicle:

  • Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steering effort or looseness in the steering wheel, or change in its straightahead position.

  • Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side when travelling on smooth, level road.

  • When stopping, listen and check for unusual sounds, pulling to one side, increased brake pedal travel or “hard-to-push” brake pedal.

  • If any slipping or changes in the operation of your reduction gear occurs, check the reduction gear fluid level.

  • Check reduction gear P (Park) function.

  • Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air conditioning system during or after use is normal).

At least monthly:

  • Check coolant level in the coolant reservoir.

    WARNING
