Automatic transmission fluid
Automatic transmission fluid should not be checked under normal usage conditions. Have the automatic transmission fluid changed by an authorized Kia dealer.
TIP
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.
NOTE
The use of a non-specified fluid could result in transmission malfunction and failure.
Use only specified automatic transmission fluid. (Refer to Recommended lubricants and capacities.)
