Maintenance
- Engine compartment
- Maintenance services
  You should exercise the utmost care to prevent damage to your vehicle and injury to yourself and others performing any maintenance or inspection procedures.
- Owner maintenance
- Scheduled maintenance service
- Explanation of scheduled maintenance items
- Engine oil
- Coolant
- Hybrid starter & generator (HSG) belt
- Brake fluid
  The brake fluid acts to transmit force to the brake when you depress the brake pedal. Brake fluid must be maintained periodically to ensure that the brakes operate smoothly.
- Washer fluid
  Washer fluid is used when wiping the windshield of the vehicle with a windshield wiper. You should check and refill washer fluid periodically to make sure that it doesn't run out.
- Air cleaner filter
  A genuine Kia air cleaner filter is recommended when the filter is replaced.
- Climate control air filter
- Wiper blades
  When the wipers no longer clean adequately, the blades may be worn or cracked, and require replacement.
- Battery
- 12V Parking lithium battery
- Tires and wheels
  For proper maintenance, safety, and maximum fuel economy, you must always maintain the recommended tire inflation pressures and stay within the load limits and weight distribution recommended for your vehicle.
  - Recommended cold tire inflation pressures
  - Tire pressure
  - Checking tire inflation pressure
    Check your tires once a month or more.
  - Tire rotation
    To equalize tread wear, it is recommended that the tires be rotated every 8,000 miles (13,000 km) or sooner if irregular wear develops.
  - Wheel alignment and tire balance
    The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the factory to give you the longest tire life and best overall performance.
  - Tire replacement
    If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear indicator will appear as a solid band across the tread.
  - Wheel replacement
    When replacing the metal wheels for any reason, make sure the new wheels are equivalent to the original factory units in diameter, rim width and offset.
  - Tire traction
    Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated or on slippery road surfaces.
  - Tire maintenance
    In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tire wear.
  - Tire sidewall labeling
    This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and provides the Tire Identification Number (TIN) for safety standard certification.
  - Tire terminology and definitions
    Refer to the following for detailed definitions of the terms that are found in the tire description:
  - All season tires
    Kia specifies all season tires on some models to provide good performance for use all year round, including snowy and icy road conditions.
  - Summer tires
    Kia specifies summer tires on some models to provide superior performance on dry roads.
  - Snow tires
    If you equip your vehicle with snow tires, they should be the same size and have the same load capacity as the original tires.
  - Tire chains
    Tire chains, if necessary, should be installed on the front wheels.
  - Radial-ply tires
    Radial-ply tires provide improved tread life, road hazard resistance and smoother high speed ride.
- Fuses
- Light bulbs
- Appearance care
  Use the information in the following sections to keep the exterior and interior of your vehicle clean.
- Emission control system
  The emission control system of your vehicle is covered by a written limited warranty. See the warranty information contained in the Warranty & Consumer Information manual in your vehicle.
