NORMAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE  
The following maintenance services must be performed to ensure good emission control and performance. Keep receipts for all  
vehicle emission services to protect your warranty. Where both mileage and time are shown, the frequency of service is deter-  
mined by whichever occurs first.  
*1 : Adjust alternator, water pump and air conditioner (if equipped)  
drive belt. Inspect and if necessary repair or replace.  
*7 : When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft  
water for your vehicle and never mix hard water in the  
coolant filled at the factory. An improper coolant mixture can  
result in serious malfunction or engine damage.  
If drive belt noise occurred, readjust drive belt tension before  
replace.  
*8 : Kia recommends that you use good quality gasolines meet  
Europe Fuel standards (EN228) or equivalents.  
*2 : Check the engine oil level and leak every 500 km (350  
miles) or before starting a long trip.  
*3 : Driving in summer season temperature over 40 °C (104 °F  
- SAUDI, UAE, OMAN, KUWAIT, BAHRAIN, QATAR, IRAN,  
YEMEN ETC) or driving over 170 km/h (106 mile/h) must  
conform the severe driving condition.  
*4 : For your convenience, it can be replaced prior to it's interval  
when you do maintenance of other items.  
*5 : Inspect for excessive valve noise and/or engine vibration  
and adjust if necessary. We recommend that the system be  
serviced by an authorized Kia dealer.  
For customers who do not use good quality gasolines  
including fuel additives regularly, and have problems start-  
ing or the engine does not run smoothly, one bottle of addi-  
tives added to the fuel tank at every 15,000km(For Europe)  
/ 5,000km(Except Europe) is recommended.  
Additves are available from your authorized Kia dealer  
along with information on how to use them. Do not mix other  
additves.  
*6 : The fuel filter is considered to be maintenance free but peri-  
odic inspection is recommended for this maintenance  
schedule depends on fuel quality. If there are some impor-  
tant matters like fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of power,  
hard starting problem etc, replace the fuel filter immediate-  
ly regardless of maintenance schedule and we recommend  
that you consult an authorized Kia dealer for details.
