Maintenance Engine coolant
Cooling fan
Use caution when
working near the
blade of the cooling
fan. The electric motor
(cooling fan) is controlled by coolant
temperature, refrigerant pressure and
vehicle speed. It may sometimes operate
even when the vehicle is not running.
5. Check the condition and connections
of all cooling system hoses and heater
hoses.
6. Replace any swollen or deteriorated
hoses.
7. Check the coolant level. The coolant
level should be filled between MAX
and MIN marks on the side of the
coolant reservoir when the engine
room is cool.
8. If the coolant level is low, add enough
specified coolant to provide protec
-
tion against freezing and corrosion.
Bring the level to MAX, but do not
overfill.
If frequent additions are required, see an
authorized Kia dealer for a cooling sys
-
tem inspection.
Changing the coolant
Have the coolant changed by an autho
-
rized Kia dealer according to the Mainte
-
nance Schedule, refer to "Scheduled
maintenance service" on page 8-9.
Put a thick cloth or fabric around the
engine coolant reservoir cap before
refilling the coolant in order to prevent
the coolant from overflowing into engine
parts such as the alternator.
