equipped)
Checking the iMT system actua
-
tor fluid level
In normal driving conditions, the actua
-
tor fluid level does not go down rapidly.
However, oil consumption rate may rise
as vehicle mileage increases, and leak
-
age in actuator related parts may result
in increased consumption of the iMT
system actuator oil. Regularly check and
make sure the iMT system actuator oil
fluid level is between MIN and MAX
marks.
If the oil level is below MIN mark, have
the vehicle checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
If the fluid level is excessively low, have
the system checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
Use only the specified iMT system actu
-
ator fluid. (Refer to "Recommended
lubricants and capacities" on page 9-9.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
Loss of iMT system actuator fluid
In the event the iMT system actuator
requires frequent additions of fluid, have
the system inspected by a professional
workshop.
