What to do in an emergency
87
If the engine overheats
While the engine is running, keep
hair, hands and clothing away
from moving parts, such as the
fan and drive belts, to prevent
injury.
7. If the water pump drive belt is broken
or engine coolant is leaking out, stop
the engine immediately and call the
nearest authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
Radiator cap
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. This may
result in coolant being blown out
of the opening and cause serious
burns.
8. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to normal.
If coolant has been lost, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir to bring the
fluid level in the reservoir up to the
halfway mark.
9. Proceed with caution, keeping alert
for further signs of overheating. If
overheating happens again, call an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
