Automatic transmission (AT) fluid

AT fluid should not be checked under normal usage conditions. Have the automatic transmission fluid changed by an authorized Kia dealer.

NOTE

Automatic transmission fluid color appears red.

As the vehicle is driven, the AT 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.

CAUTION

The use of a non-specified fluid could result in transmission malfunction and failure.

Use only specified AT fluid. (Refer to Recommended lubricants and capacities.)
