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 F and L
marks on the side of the coolant res
-
ervoir when the engine room is cool.
(Petrol) 1.6 MPI
Smartstream G 1.6 T-GDi
(Petrol) 2.0 MPI
8. If the coolant level is low, add enough
specified coolant to provide protec
-
tion against freezing and corrosion.
Bring the level to F, but do not overfill.
If frequent additions are required, we
recommend that the system be
inspected by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
Changing the coolant
We recommend that the coolant be
replaced by an authorised Kia dealer
according to the Maintenance Schedule
