If the fluid has been warmed to nor-
mal operating temperature of approx-
imately 70~80°C (158~176°F), the
fluid level should be within “HOT”
range.
✽✽
NOTICE
“COLD” scale is for reference only
and should NOT be used to deter-
mine transaxle fluid level.
✽✽
NOTICE
New automatic transaxle fluid
should be red. The red dye is added
so the assembly plant can identify it
as automatic transaxle fluid and dis-
tinguish it from engine oil or
antifreeze. The red dye, which is not
an indicator of fluid quality, is not
permanent. As the vehicle is driven,
the automatic transaxle fluid will
begin to look darker. The color may
eventually appear light brown.
Therefore, have an Authorized Kia
dealer change the automatic
transaxle fluid according to the
Scheduled Maintenance at the
beginning of this section.
