Maintenance
Storing urea solution
• It is improper to store urea solution
in containers made of unsuitable
materials like aluminum, copper
alloy, non-alloyed still and galva-
nized steel.
The urea solution dissolves metal
materials, severely damaging the
exhaust purification system to be
non-repairable.
• Store urea solution only in contain-
ers made of the following materi-
als.
- DIN EN 10 088-1-/-2-/-3-specified
CR-Ni steel, Mo-Cr-Ni steel,
Polypropylene and Polyethylene
Urea solution purity
• The following situations may dam-
age the DPF system.
- Fuels or any unauthorised liquids
are added into the urea solution
tank.
- Additives are mixed with urea
solution.
- Water is added to dilute the urea
solution.
• Use only the ISO 22241- or
DIN70070-specified urea solution.
When any unauthorised urea solu-
tion is added to the urea solution
tank, have your vehicle inspected
by a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to contact an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.
• When any unauthorised impurities
enter the urea solution tank, it may
lead to the following problems.
- Increased emission
- Malfunction with the DPF system
- Engine failure
Never add any used urea solution,
which is drained from the urea solution
tank (i.e. whilst maintaining the vehi-
cle). Its purity cannot be guaranteed.
Always add new urea solution.
