We recommend that the following lists
are vehicle checks and inspections that
should be performed by the owner or
an authorized Kia dealer at the fre‐
quencies indicated to help ensure safe,
dependable operation of your vehicle.
If you have any question, consult a pro‐
fessional workshop. Kia recommends to
consult an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.

Owner maintenance schedule
• Check coolant level in coolant reser‐
voir.
WARNING
When the coolant level is low, have
the
reservoir filled by an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner by using
only designated coolant water for
electric vehicles. Using other types
of water or antifreeze can cause se‐
rious damage to the vehicle.
• Check
the windshield washer fluid
level.
• Look for low or under-inflated tires.
•
Check the radiator and condenser.
Check if the front of the radiator and
condenser are clean and not blocked
with leaves, dirt or insects etc.
If any of the above parts are ex‐
tremely dirty or you are not sure of
their condition, contact a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your mo‐
tor
room coolant level when the mo‐
tor room is hot. Scalding hot coolant
and steam may blow out under
pressure. This could cause burns or
other serious injury.
While operating your vehicle:
• Check for vibrations in the steering
wheel. Notice any increased steering
effort or looseness in the steering
wheel, or change in its straightahead
position.
• Notice if your vehicle constantly
turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when traveling on smooth, level road.
• When
stopping, listen and check for
unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or “hard-
to-push” brake pedal.
• If any slipping or changes in the oper‐
ation of your reduction gear occurs,
check the reduction gear fluid level.
• Check reduction gear P (Park) func‐
tion.
• Check for fluid leaks under your vehi‐
cle (water dripping from the air con‐
ditioning system during or after use
is normal).
At least monthly:
• Check coolant level in the coolant res‐
ervoir.
WARNING
When the coolant level is low, have
the
reservoir filled by an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner by using
only designated coolant water for
electric vehicles. Using other types
of water or antifreeze can cause se‐
rious damage to the vehicle.
