Automatic transmission (AT) fluid: (if equipped)
Do not check the automatic transmission fluid under normal usage conditions. Have the automatic transmission fluid changed by an authorized Kia dealer.
TIP
The automatic transmission fluid color is basically red. As the vehicle is driven, the automatic transmission fluid will begin to look darker. This is normal and does not mean that you should replace the fluid based only on the change in color.
CAUTION
The use of a non-specified fluid could result in transmission malfunction and failure. Use only the specified automatic transmission fluid. (Refer to Recommended lubricants and capacities.)
