Owner’s responsibility  
Owner maintenance precautions  
Improper or incomplete service may  
result in problems. This section gives  
instructions only for the maintenance  
items that are easy to perform.  
NOTICE  
Maintenance Service and Record  
Retention are the owner's responsibility.  
Should you have any doubts concerning  
the inspection or servicing of your vehi-  
cle, we strongly recommend that you  
have an authorized KIA dealer perform  
this work.  
As explained earlier in this section, sev-  
eral procedures can be done only by an  
authorized KIA dealer with special tools.  
You should retain documents that show  
proper maintenance has been performed  
on your vehicle in accordance with the  
scheduled maintenance service charts  
shown on the following pages. You need  
this information to establish your compli-  
ance with the servicing and maintenance  
requirements of your vehicle warranties.  
NOTICE  
An authorized KIA dealer has factory-  
trained technicians and genuine KIA  
parts to service your vehicle properly. For  
expert advice and quality service, see an  
authorized KIA dealer.  
Improper owner maintenance during  
the warranty period may affect warran-  
ty coverage. For details, read the sepa-  
rate Warranty & Maintence book pro-  
vided with the vehicle. If you're unsure  
about any servicing or maintenance pro-  
cedure, have it done by an authorized  
KIA dealer.  
Detailed warranty information is provided  
in your Warranty & Maintenance book.  
Inadequate, incomplete or insufficient  
servicing may result in operational prob-  
lems with your vehicle that could lead to  
vehicle damage, an accident, or person-  
al injury.  
Repairs and adjustments required as a  
result of improper maintenance or a lack  
of required maintenance are not covered.  
We recommend you have your vehicle  
maintained and repaired by an author-  
ized KIA dealer. An authorized KIA deal-  
er meets KIA’s high service quality stan-  
dards and receives technical support  
from KIA in order to provide you with a  
high level of service satisfaction.

Maintenance  
WARNING - Maintenance  
work  
WARNING - Diesel Engine  
Never work on the injection system  
with the engine running or within  
30 seconds after shutting the  
engine off. High-pressure pump,  
rail, injectors and high-pressure  
pipes are subject to high pressure  
even after the engine stopped. The  
fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may  
cause serious injury, if it touches  
the body. People using pacemakers  
should not move than 30cm closer  
to the ECU or wiring harness within  
the engine room while engine is  
running, since the high currents in  
the electronic engine control sys-  
tem produce considerable magnet-  
ic fields.  
• Performing maintenance work on  
a vehicle can be dangerous. You  
can be seriously injured while  
performing some maintenance  
procedures. If you lack sufficient  
knowledge and experience or the  
proper tools and equipment to do  
the work, have it done by an  
authorized KIA dealer.  
• Working under the hood with the  
engine running is dangerous. It  
becomes even more dangerous  
when you wear jewelry or loose  
clothing. These can become  
entangled in moving parts and  
result in injury. Therefore, if you  
must run the engine while work-  
ing under the hood, make certain  
that you remove all jewelry (espe-  
cially rings, bracelets, watches,  
and necklaces) and all neckties,  
scarves, and similar loose cloth-  
ing before getting near the  
engine or cooling fans.
