Maintenance
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM   
The high-pressure cooling system has a
reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze
coolant. The reservoir is filled at the fac-
tory.
Check   the  antifreeze   protection    and
coolant level at least once a year, at the
beginning   of  the   winter  season,   and
before traveling to a colder climate.
(Continued)
Turn the engine off and wait until
it cools  down.  Use extreme care
when removing the radiator cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it,  and
turn it counterclockwise slowly to
the first stop. Step back while the
pressure   is  released   from   the
cooling  system. When   you  are
sure  all  the  pressure  has   been
released, press down on the cap,
using a thick towel,  and continue
turning     counterclockwise      to
remove it.
Checking the coolant  level
WARNING - Removing
radiator cap
1JBA7002
Check the condition and connections of
all  cooling   system  hoses   and  heater
hoses. Replace  any  swollen  or  deterio-
rated hoses.
The   coolant    level   should    be   filled
between F and L marks on the side of the
coolant  reservoir   when  the   engine  is
cool.
If  the  coolant  level  is  low,  add  enough
specified  coolant  to  provide   protection
against freezing and corrosion. Bring the
level to F, but do not overfill.    If frequent
additions are required, see an authorized
Kia dealer for a cooling system inspec-
tion.
Never attempt to remove the radi-
ator cap while the engine is oper-
ating or hot. Doing so might lead
to  cooling  system   and  engine
damage and could result in seri-
ous  personal  injury  from  escap-
ing hot coolant or steam.
Even if the engine is   not operat-
ing,  do  not  remove  the  radiator
cap  or  the  drain  plug  while  the
engine  and  radiator  are  hot. Hot
coolant and steam may still blow
out under pressure, causing seri-
ous injury.
