CHECK
If  the CHECK  ENGINE  light comes
ON while driving and illuminates con-
tinuously,  a   potential  problem   has
been discovered in the ECS or one of
the   exhaust   system   components.
Generally, the vehicle will continue to
be driveable but it should be checked
by an  authorized Kia dealer as  soon
as possible. This condition is unlikely
to  lead to  engine  damage unless  a
decrease  in  vehicle  power  or  poor
running   conditions   is   immediately
apparent.
Note that  the CHECK  ENGINE light
will  illuminate  for  a  problem  like   a
loose or missing gas cap, but  will not
illuminate as a result of low engine oil
or  coolant,  low  automatic  transaxle
fluid or engine  overheating. The driv-
er will  be alerted to  these conditions
by other indicators on  the instrument

When you  first  start the  engine, the
