Maintenance Engine coolant
The electric motor (cooling fan) may
operate until you disconnect the
negative battery cable.
Check the condition and connections
of all cooling system hoses and
heater hoses. Replace any swollen
or deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between MAX and MIN (F and L)
marks on the side of the coolant
reservoir when the engine is cool.
If the coolant level is low, add
enough distilled (deionised) or soft
water. Bring the level to MAX (F),
but do not overfill.
If frequent additions are required,
have the system inspected by a
professional workshop. Kia recom
