Explanation of scheduled
maintenance items
The following parts require scheduled
maintenance.
Engine oil and filter
The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in the
maintenance schedule. If the vehicle is
being driven in severe conditions, more
frequent oil and filter changes are
required.
Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil satu -
ration and replace if necessary. Drive
belts should be checked periodically for
proper tension and adjusted as neces -
sary.
Fuel filter
Kia petrol vehicles are equipped with a
lifetime fuel filter that is integrated with
the fuel tank. Regular maintenance or
replacement is generally not needed.
This may vary depending on fuel quality.
If you experience any of the following:
fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of
power, or a hard starting issue, inspec -
tion and, if necessary, replacement may
be needed. We recommend that the fuel
filter be replaced by a professional work -
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and connec -
tions
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and con -
nections for leakage and damage. We
recommend that the fuel lines, fuel
hoses and connections be replaced by a
professional workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
Vapour hose and fuel filler cap
The vapour hose and fuel filler cap
should be inspected at those intervals
specified in the maintenance schedule.
Make sure that a new vapour hose or
fuel filler cap is correctly replaced.
Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi -
dence of heat and/or mechanical dam -
age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking,
tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive
swelling indicate deterioration. Particular
attention should be paid to examine
those hose surfaces nearest to high heat
sources, such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that
the hoses do not come in contact with
any heat source, sharp edges or moving
components which might cause heat
damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all
hose connections, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure they are secure,
and that no leaks are present. Hoses
should be replaced immediately if there
is any evidence of deterioration or dam -
age.
Air cleaner filter
We recommend that the air cleaner filter
be replaced by a professional workshop.
