Maintenance Explanation of scheduled maintenance items
excessive amount of foreign matter
accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter
may require replacement more fre

quently.
After installing a new filter, run the
engine for several minutes, and check
for leaks at the connections. We recom

mend that the fuel filter be replaced by a
professional workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service

recommend that the fuel lines, fuel
hoses and connections be replaced by a
professional workshop. Kia recommends

Never work on the injection system with
the engine running or within 30 seconds
after shutting off the engine. High pres

sure pump, rail, injectors and high pres

sure pipes are subject to high pressure
even after the engine stops. The fuel jet
produced by fuel leaks may cause seri

ous injury, if it touches the body. People
wearing a cardiac pacemaker should
maintain a distance of at least 30 cm
from the ECU or wiring harness within
the engine room whilst the engine is run

ning, since the high currents in the Com

mon Rail system produce considerable
magnetic fields.
Vapor hose and fuel filler cap (for
petrol engine)
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should
be inspected at those intervals specified
in the maintenance schedule. Make sure
that a new vapor 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.
