Scheduled maintenance service

Follow the Normal maintenance schedule if the vehicle is usually operated where none of the following conditions apply.

Follow the Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions if any of the following conditions apply.

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, or other commercial use.
Frequently driving at high speeds or with rapid acceleration/deceleration.
Frequently driving in stop-and-go conditions.

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.

NOTICE

Your vehicle may be equipped with the Oil Life Management System that predicts engine oil life based on the driver’s driving history and alerts the driver to change engine oil.

If the deterioration of the engine oil increases depending on the driver’s driving severity, the remaining oil life alert appears on the instrument cluster before the normal engine oil replacement interval. Have the engine oil and filter be changed by an authorized Kia dealer.
Oil Life Management System works when the recommended engine oil is used. So, if recommended engine oil is not used, replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under severe usage condition.

Also, check the amount of engine oil regularly as this system assumes that the engine oil is being filled normally.
Always reset the remaining engine oil life whenever the engine oil is changed. Otherwise, the Oil Life Management System will not be correct.
If there is no alert until the maximum maintenance interval, have vehicle be checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

NOTICE

The infotainment system may change after software updates. For more information, refer to the user's manual provided in the infotainment system and the quick reference guide.

Normal maintenance schedule

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

I: Inspect and if necessary, adjust, correct, clean or replace.

R: Replace or change

*1. Fuel additives

If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not available, one bottle of additive is recommended. Additives are available from your authorized Kia dealer along with information on how to use them. Do not mix other additives.

*2. 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 its properties and may cause engine failure.

*3. 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.

*4. Drive belts (Engine)

Inspect alternator, water pump and air conditioner drive belt and if necessary, repair or replace. Inspect drive belt tensioner, idler and alternator pulley and if necessary correct or replace.

* Transmission fluid

If the vehicle has been submerged in water or in a flooded area, the fluids should be changed as a precaution.

Fuel filter (gasoline engine)

The fuel filter is normally maintenance free but periodic inspection is recommended during scheduled maintenance schedule to look for conditions caused by poor fuel quality.

If there safety risks such as 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.
